Shape up, Duterte tells gov’t execs, personnel

By Allen V. Estabillo of PNA

ALABEL, Sarangani--Presidentelect Rodrigo R. Duterte called on government officials and personnel who are into “corrupt” activities to “shape up now” as he reiterated his commitment to cleanse the bureaucracy of corruption in his upcoming administration.

Duterte, who graced the oath-taking here on Wednesday afternoon of Senator-elect Em-

manuel “Manny” Pacqiuao and the newly-elected officials of Sarangani and General Santos City, said the crackdown against corruption will be among his top priorities as he promised during his campaign.

He rallied the area’s incoming set of officials to join him and do their share in the campaign against corruption.

“Let give the Filipinos a respite from corruption. If you really want to help your country, now

Chamber prexy: Duterte is the captain of the ship

By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO City––Presidentelect Rodrigo R. Duterte is the “captain of the ship” of the business community in the Philippines, one of the country’s business leader said Tuesday.

Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (PCCII) president George Barcelon said this at the second day of the “Sulong Pilipinas: Hakbang Tungo sa Kaunlaran” at the SMX Convention Center Davao.

“I liken you Duterte as the captain of a ship docked at the wharf. You gave order to your quarter masters, your economic team who has blown the horn, and businessmen from here and far have heard this calling, they have come from all over the Philippines to be here in your beautiful city.

They are here to hear from you and they are committed to help,” he said while addressing the 450 business leaders.

Barcelon said that the

business sector is confident about the economic team of the incoming administration.

“By the mere fact they have this consultation, it shows that they take the business community as their partner to hear us out and for us to hear the desire of the administration,” he told reporters in an earlier interview.

Barcelon said this is the first time that a consultative meeting was held to hear the business sector’s sentiments before a new president would be installed.

“This time it’s the incoming (president) who wants to hit the road running by hearing you out and getting action plans from us,” he said.

The PCCII president said they don’t have much to add to Duterte’s 10-point socioeconomic agenda, as he believes it covers all the key areas of concern.

Barcelon added that the business community saw the need for a longterm masterplan “for our

is the time that I’m there,” he said in his speech at the jam-packed provincial gymnasium here.

The incoming President said his anti-corruption campaign will not mainly target certain personalities but on the cleansing of government institutions.

He said he will start with the Bureau of Customs and the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which he described as “an institution known to be corrupt since time immemorial.”

Duterte said he is aware that some officials and employees of the two offices are “earning on the side that makes your (regular) salaries appear like mere allowances.”

“Kailangang huminto na kayo (You need to stop now). This time you have to change your lifestyles and try to be just an ordinary government worker,” he said.

“We’re just humans who make mistakes. But milking the people of the Republic of the Philippines

-- that’s hard to accept. I’m not used to that,” Duterte said.

The President-elect said he will act on complaints against corrupt government officials and employees “even through whisper.”

“Whatever government agency (you are in). When you will be found involved in corruption, I will fire you or place you somewhere. You can choose -- in ComVal Valley (Compostela Valley) or Jolo (Sulu). I will not hesitate really,” he added. (PNA)

Hearing the Business Sector. President-elect Rodrigo R. Duterte speaks before the country’s business leaders during a two-day consultative workshop at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City Tuesday (21 June 2016), where he promised to study the 10 recommendations of the business sector.

He said that he believes the 10-point socioeconomic agenda is very doable with the private and government sector working hand-in-

hand.

“The nation needs a vision that all Filipinos here and abroad can identify with. A mission and masterplan that’s not just a medium-term plan that we together can implement for our children and their children. We recognize and deeply grateful at the initiative your excellency and the incoming cabinet economic cluster had taken to consult with the business community on how to move things forward.

We are indeed honored by your presence today,” he said.

Barcelon presented the

first part of the 10 recommendations of the business sector while Mindanao Business Council (MBC) chairman Vicente T. Lao presented the other half before Duterte and the business leaders.

Barcelon said they were able to tap the cream of the crop of the business community to come up with the

recommendations.

“Yesterday, your incoming secretary of finance presented the 10-point socioeconomic agenda that was taken up during the afternoon. Each issue was analyzed, dissected, and argued. But at the end of the day, we came to a consensus of recommendations,” he said.

Drug lords raise P2-m bounty for ‘police chief’ Friday, June 24, 2016

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

C

AGAYAN de Oro City–– The chief of police in Cagayan De Oro City has a Php 2 million bounty on his head, a se-

nior police official said Thursday.

The official made the disclosure during an interview with the local radio reporters as the police here mounted the campaign against all forms of illegal drug activities in the city “Pol. Supt. Faro Antonio Olaguera, head of

the city [ s 3000-strong police force, has a Php 2 million bounty raised by the local drug lords,” the police official said.

He said that he has no ide a if the amount remains the same since the bounty was reported a long time ago.

The police officer that Olaguera has adopted se-

curity precautions since then, especially at this time when the local police has started to wage a no-nonsense campaign against the illegal drug trade here.

Local police authorities have started to implement the “ toktok - hangyo ” (knock and plead) strategy against the suspects

known to be engaged in illegal drug activities.

The police official said that the operatives would knock on houses to plead for the suspect to stop the illegal activities before it is “too late.”

The anti-illegal drug campaign here has heightened as President-elect Rodrigo Duterte prepares

to take oath on July 1 as t he count r y’s 16 t h president .

During his campaign for the presidency Duterte promised to eradicate the illegal drug trade in the country in the first six months of his administration along with the country’s corrupt public officials.

Greenpeace launches Solar Rooftop Challenge ON the eve of the start of the comprehensive government energy policy review, and proving that the incoming rainy season is not an impediment to fully embrace solar energy, Greenpeace launched the Solar Rooftop Challenge, an aggressive information campaign that highlights the potentials of producing solar energy in the Philippines.

The Solar Rooftop Challenge highlights the benefits of using solar and busts misguided notions that hinder individuals and companies from taking it up by showcasing existing solar rooftop installations of urban middle class households, celebrities, churches, schools, govern-

ment buildings and private establishments, and through sharing empowering stories of people who have joined the solar rooftop revolution in the country.

“Today, we are launching the Solar Rooftop Challenge to create a platform for the young and urban Filipinos to join the discussion on renewable energy, particularly the use of solar energy. At the same time that the young, hip and trendy Filipinos are ‘arriving’, so is the use of solar energy,” explained Reuben Muni, Climate and Energy Campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia Philippines.

The launch event featured informative lectures and discussions by Obet Verzola,

author of the book Crossing Over: the Energy Transition to Renewable Energy and Executive Director of Center for Renewable Electricity Strategies (CREST), and Dann Diez, Executive Director of Sustainable Energy and Enterprise Development for Communities, who presented data and experiences showing that solar energy installation is affordable, accessible and more costeffective in the long run.

The launch also unveiled the video series Juana Solar Busts a Myth in Minutes, which features celebrity advocates Saab Magalona, Yam Concepcion and Dingdong Dantes busting the myths surrounding the use of solar

energy. The videos debunk the myths that solar energy is expensive, unreliable, impractical, uneconomic, and beyond the reach of the average Filipino.

The Solar Rooftop Challenge also happens at the same time that the Philippine government is starting its comprehensive review of the country’s energy policy in order to reduce dependence on coal and come up with a national framework for a just transition to renewable energy and a low-carbon

economic pathway.

“By showing that many Filipinos across the country have already made the switch to solar energy, we are sending a message to the incoming Duterte Administration to take to heart this energy policy review and listen to the clamor of many more Filipinos who want clean and renewable sources of electricity for their homes, offices, and businesses,” added Muni.

By telling empowering

stories, the Solar Rooftop Challenge showed that the solar revolution is already happening in many parts of the country - from a solarpowered church, to solarpowered schools, malls, and many households.

It aims to serve as a platform for the thousands of Filipinos who have already embraced the solar revolution to show and tell their stories as well as exchange and share ideas and information. greenpeace.org

1973 Constitution was not properly ratified. However, because the constitutional requirement of two-thirds of the Court voting to declare a law unconstitutional was not met, the Court also concluded that the new charter was already in effect. That decision allowed Marcos to govern under a dictatorship until he was out of office in 1986. Since that time, Views forced the Supreme Court has had to live with the realization that it became an accomplice to the emasculation of Philippine democracy. Many wonder if the Court will allow itself to be used in a similar fashion at some point in the future—or the present.”

Pertinently, the professor’s apprehension over the possibility that the Supreme Court will again lose its constitutional fortitude has been affirmed by the recent decision in the case of Enrile vs. Sandiganbayan to allow an accused plunderer, Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, to post bail. The public was clearly dismayed by the high court’s preferential treatment of the veteran lawmaker. This disappointment was exacerbated by commentaries from a host of legal scholars showing that the decision actually ignored the parameters on the right to bail established in Article III, Section 13 of the Constitution. And so with flouting the rule of law at the top level of the judiciary still possible, the general public’s serious anxiety over charter change seems justified.

But apart from this lingering distrust, our experience with commencing constitutional reform limited by a fixed timetable is a stark lesson. In this regard I note the regret of Rene Sarmiento, a member of the 1986 Constitutional Commission, over the decision to just rely on Congress to enforce through legislation certain fundamental directives in the charter (i.e. prohibition against political dynasties). The former COMELEC Commissioner lamented, “There was political instability, coups were being staged. There was an urgency to stabilize the country and we were pressed for time.”

Poignantly, Sarmiento now admits that, “We did not foresee that after EDSA 1, change will take time.”

Such a realization is indeed an important caveat for all of us contemplating a complete overhaul of our current charter specially that the gravity of constitutional reform is now indisputable. The 1986 Constitutional Commission worked under an urgent deadline and that was to legitimize the revolutionary government of President Cory Aquino. But we are certainly in a more fortunate position now because there are no reasons or contingencies that compel us to rush constitutional reform. Therefore, any attempt at charter change without going through any form of comprehensive public discourse must be rejected.

More importantly however, I suggest that avid proponents of constitutional reform in the administration initiate first a preparatory step in the form of a massive civic education campaign on constitutional principles for local communities. After undergoing this political exercise, Filipinos from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi, will be able to see themselves not merely as passive observers in the sidelines but as continuing stakeholders to the enforcement of constitutional rules and tenets. And I genuinely believe that it is only upon reaching such a level of constitutional awareness can Filipinos confidently undertake the constitutional revision process.

What’s Your Type?

Think a minute…

It’s been said there are two types of people in the world: Those who come into a room and say, ‘Here I am!,’ and those who come in and say, ‘Ah, there you are!’ Two very different approaches. One says, “Look at me! I want attention!” The other says, “Tell me about yourself.” One attitude says, “I’m the important one.”

The other says, “You’re the important one.”

You know, if you want to be the happiest you can be. If you want to live a rich, successful, satisfying life—then live to give and serve others. Dr. Albert Schweitzer said that how happy we are depends on

how much we live for others. In fact, the one word that is the secret to success and the highest level of living is the word “others.”

But if we’d rather have a small, empty, boring life, then we can think only about ourselves and what we need and want.

The problem with this self-centered kind of living is that even though we get and keep everything for ourselves, we’re never completely satisfied or happy; so we don’t make others happy either. Even God Himself said that He did not come into the world to be served, but to serve others—even to the point of giving His own

life for our wrongs, since He Himself had no wrongs to die for. Jesus Christ was constantly helping, healing, comforting, counseling, and forgiving others. He lived, died, and came back to life all for others. And even now, He is constantly praying for others, which includes you and me.

Jesus Christ became a human being to show us how to be happy and live successfully by living for others. He explained that it’s only when we give and share our life with others that we ourselves can finally be happy and satisfied. So this Christmas, why don’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for all your

wrongs and living for yourself. Then ask Him to help you start living His right, successful way: to serve, help, and give to others.

You‘ll be the happiest one for it.

Caraga farmers receive P43.4M loan on CARP 28th anniversary

By PAT SAMONTE Caraga Regional Editor

BUTUAN CITY – Highlighting this year’s celebration of the 28th anniversary of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in Caraga provided agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) more support through production loan, agricultural insurance protection and recognition.

DAR-Caraga Regional Director Julita Ragandang and Assistant Regional Director Daylinda Narisma led the June 14, 2016 opening program of the “Ani at Biyaya ng CARP Knowledge and Trade Fair” in the Atrium of Robinsons Place here by distributing 241 Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) to 212 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) of agricultural lands cover-

ing 409.3641 hectares in Esperanza, Agusan del Sur; Sison, Surigao del Norte; and Tago, Surigao del Sur. As of December 31, 2015, DAR-Caraga’s land acquisition and distribution profile showed 282,226 hectares or 92 percent accomplishment vis-à-vis its work scope of 300,071 hectares that benefited 128,450 landless farmers. It has been a consistent performer in land distribution with over 100 percent of annual projection in the past 12 years.

In her message, Ragandang emphasized that DAR would continue its support programs for the agrarian reform beneficiaries to improve agricultural production and for their families to attain better quality of life.

It was gathered that as of May, 2016, the agrarian reform community average

R.A. 9048 Form No.10.1 (LCR O)

annual farm productivity and income has reached P101,551.52 in Agusan del Norte, P118,555.22 in Agusan del Sur, P149,853,55 in Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands, and P153,039.94 in Surigao del Sur. Ragandang and Narisma handed loan checks amounting to P43,495,000 under the Agrarian Production Credit Program (APCP) to 14 agrarian reform organizations comprising 977 ARBs in Agusan del Norte (P2,000,000), Agusan del Sur (P36,349,000), Surigao del Norte (P2,946,000), and Dinagat Islands.

Power Over Cervical Cancer The Power to Protect Yourself and Your Dreams

We may be living in an era where women not only rule our homes, they also run the world—from being leaders in the government to managing business enterprises, women now have more opportunities to realize their dreams.

The sad fact, however, is that every day, seven Filipino women die of cervical cancer , and may never get to complete their life goals, may be stripped of

the chance to fulfill a successful career, start a family or even just find Mr. Right.

All because of a disease, a kind of cancer that puts every woman at risk, regardless of race, age, lifestyle or socio-economic status .

Cervical cancer continues to be a major threat for Filipino women. It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Filipinas . What’s worrisome is that two in three Filipinas diagnosed with cervical cancer may die within five years .

Since culturally, Filipinas are known to be caring and selfless for others but tend to dismiss concerns about themselves, those who may have contracted cervical cancer may have been diagnosed at a late stage, when the chances of recovery are slim.

What Is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop and spread in the cervix, the entrance between the vagina and the uterus . This is caused by persistent infection with the cancer causing human papillomavirus (HPV) .

It is also estimated that up to 80 percent of women will be infected with HPV at some point in their lives .

Majority of HPV infections may come and go , some may clear spontaneously within two years , however if the immune system is weak, the HPV infections may persist and may eventually lead to the development of cervical cancer.

While HPV is primarily transmitted via sexual intercourse, skin-to-skin genital contact is also a recognized mode of transmission , , .

Lifestyle changes can help prevent the development of cervical cancer, such as being conscientious about one’s sexual activities. Beyond regular consultations and pap smears by your OBGYN, vaccines that protect against cancer-causing HPV are also now readily available.

Who is at risk?

The incidence of cancercausing HPV infection is actually highest at the young ages of 15-19. One is at a greater risk of cervical cancer if one had her first sexual intercourse at a young

age; have given birth for multiple times; have or have had sexually transmitted diseases; have HIV or whose immune system is weakened; a smoker; long-term use of oral contraceptives for 5 years or more and those who rarely or have not yet had any pap smear.

The World Health Organization Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (WHOSAGE) on Immunization reiterates the importance of getting young girls protected through HPV immunization before their first exposure to HPV (i.e. before sexual contact), as young as 9 years old.

For older women, the risk of persistent infection with cancer-causing HPV (which is necessary for cervical cancer to develop) increases with age, and is highest when a woman is over 66 years old. Thus, screening is recommended starting age 21 to detect cervical abnormalities that precede actual cervical cancer. Studies further show that vaccination remains to be beneficial for older women to prevent HPV infections.

Power Over Cervical Cancer In commemoration of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, research-based pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) furthers its advocacy to increase cervical cancer awareness efforts with the Power Over Cervical Cancer “You Can & You Will” campaign.

The campaign aims to encourage Filipinas to realize that they have the power to protect themselves and their dreams—simply by consulting their doctors and asking about ways to prevent cervical cancer.

“An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Getting cancer may be a distant concept for women who are well and at their prime, but they should be aware that even the healthiest can be at risk,” says, Dr. Leah Manio, GSK Medical Affairs Manager.

In the Philippines, it is estimated that the financial cost of preventing cervical cancer through screening and vaccination could be

20 times more affordable than the cost of treatment ,” she adds.

“The power to protect yourself from cervical cancer is in your hands, and NOW is the best time to consult with your physician and have yourself screened,” Dr. Manio stated.

GSK remains true to its commitment of increasing access to preventive healthcare through its initiatives to improve access to information through its disease awareness efforts.

MISAMIS ORIENTALVICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ visited the Barangay Hall of Alipuaton in the municipality of Salay to check personally the evacuees of Sitios Tapol and Camansi of Barangay Banglay in the nearby town of Lagonglong. Per evacuees’ account, they evacuated to Barangay Alipuaton to take refuge from the latest encounter between the government forces and the New People’s Army.

Likewise, he commended the calm management of the situation by the Barangay Council of Alipuaton under the leadership of Barangay Chairman Ernesto Bustamante Vice Governor Pelaez, in his capacity as Acting Governor at that time, asked the concerned Provincial Capitol Department Heads to assist the evacuees. He also provided financial assistance to the 39 affected families composing of over

Increasing student’s participation during Science discussion

By Lani Ortillo Armecin, Teacher I Lugait National High School

Let’s face it, a lot of students do not like Science as subject. Some of the students tend to loose attention and interest especially when it comes to Science. Why is it so?

Some say because Science is difficult and that it takes enough time to be understood and appreciated. That is why this has become a call for the teachers to be patient enough with their students so that they can get through the school year learning and further loving Science.

So how can we teachers increase the participation of our students during discussions and group activities?

One way is through engaging them in a personal work that would require them self-work and selfdetermination to finish the work. Like for example, require them to have a personal experiment, not a group activity. In this way, they will really do their best to finish the task as it is an individual task and not a group task. One

disadvantage of a group task or activity is that other students do not do their part and let the leader and assistant leader and other member do everything, or sometimes they just start the experiment and no interest in finishing it.

One thing also is through graphic information or referred as infographics in which facts and information is being drawn and translated into graphics. This strategy would simulate

students to increase their attention as it will be a creative and fun approach.

In short, it is not boring.

Through these activities, they will have fun while learning and studying and appreciating things and experiments.

With this, as teachers, we should always value to increase the participation of the students during discussions as they will not only learn but in the future will apply what they have learn to better their lives and future.

Always count the blessings in your life

T he G ospel of J esus C hrist (June24, 2016-Friday) Matthew 10:7-13- And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you: In our Gospel, Jesus instructed His disciples to preach the gospel of God. Romans 1:16-For I am not ashamed of the

gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. But we must bear in mind that there are two kinds of preaching, verbal and non verbal preaching.

Peace was the first word to say in entering the house. This is the right thing to do because in that way, the family will be blessed. Peace is God. This means if you will say, peace be

The Fun and Challenge of the 21st Century School Principal

By Teofisto D. Dalmento, Jr. School Principal I Kiburiao NHS, Kiburiao, Quezon, Bukidnon

SOMETIMES it is necessary for the principals to find ways to energize students in their respective schools. In the new millennium, the Philippines is aware of the global changes that bring about information to societies and new methods of learning based on a deeper comprehension of human capacity to think.

Education then calls for a strong leadership of school administrator like the school principal who would look into the enormous works and functions which can dramatically change or unchanged what happens in a particular school. As a leader in the 21st century, the principal will be far different from those previous generations. He will have to face a different set of problems – the type of instruction and strategies, the school climate, the curriculum and approaches to be used. These are some of the challenges that a principal should be aware of in so

far as attainment of quality education is concerned. His function is not limited to instructional leadership but administrative as well. He has to provide the students and teachers a physical environment appropriate for learning. These include multimedia, science, mathematics & ICT equipment and other learning facilities. Classroom which is conducive for learning is also necessary.

On the other context, being a school principal is truly fun: New things and innovations are being discovered which give him an enjoyment, proving himself capable of doing desirable things and share them with his constituents and clienteles. Doing his tasks and responsibilities as an adventure and exploration is a real fun, considering the new challenging experience and opportunities to gain people’ support. As he traverse in his work as a school head, he meets

new friends and acquaintances at all generations: the students; the parents; the government and local officials and other stakeholders. All of these give him satisfaction in life for doing what are expected of him.

In developing our schools for future programs, the key principle is to empower the school principal as an instructional and administrative leader so that together with a team of competent, committed and conscientious teachers, the potentials for students achievement can be brought to a higher level. It is also significant to recognize the pivotal role of the school principal as instructional leaders in creating a conducive teaching-learning environment in their respective schools – they manage schools resources, encourage and help teachers to be positive role models and facilitators of knowledge after all. All of these must be done in a fun way as being a principal is a lifelong calling.

Appreciating Philippine literature

By El M. Dela Cruz, Teacher I Lugait National High School

The Philippine literature has greatly influenced this generation as it hones and develops this country’s ideals and culture. This country’s literature has indeed molded the Philippines and the Filipino people into what we are right now and who we are right now. According to Wikipedia, Philippine literature is associated with the Philippines and includes legends of prehistory, and the colonial legacy of the Philippines which were originally transmitted through oral tradition.

Meanwhile, it is also our literature that depicts the eyes of the past. In some school settings, literature has been integrated into English subjects or the Social Studies. Basically, some students do not appreciate our literature as they find it hard to understand and hard to comprehend, as it is due written to express one’s feelings over things and circumstances.

In school, we as teachers should inculcate in the hearts and minds of the students the value of appre-

ciating our own literature.

As they consider it as not that easy, still we can utilize teaching strategies for them to love and appreciate the matter.

One example is to let them memorize and act a poem in front of the class.

Poems that are written by original Filipino writers and contemporaries, even further integrating the other international literature. But this we should not only let them memorize and act on it but let us encourage them as well to internalize

the poem so that they can even apply it in their daily endeavors.

As understood, poems are made out of experiences and feelings and definitely it depicts a certain circumstance that the writer wanted and loved to write about it.

If we let the students internalize the whole thing, then they are not only memorizing but they are learning.

Philippine literature employs best experiences of the past that is why we should live up to it and uphold everything that our ancestors and forefathers have marked.

who survived the ambush recounted that while he and his family were on their way to Agusan del Sur, the armed group believed to be NPAs, ambushed them in broad daylight of June 5 near Tagikan River in San Luis town, Agusan del Sur. The boy said that his pregnant mother, his father, uncle, two brothers, and sister were among those he believed were already killed by the NPAs as he saw with his own eyes the merciless firing of weapons toward them before his escape.

This led the army and the police to join efforts in the investigation in order to recover the bodies of the victims buried some 56 kilometers east of Malaybalay City.

Discovered in the site was a grave where the three bodies of Bocalas family were buried together, including the pregnant mother. All were found riddled with bullets and already decomposing.

On June 8, 2016, the NPA South Central Bukidnon Sub‐regional Command, in a media statement, admitted the murder of Bocalas family because of the crimes they allegedly committed against the people.

In a statement, Babilonia condemns the killing.

He said this is a serious violation of human rights.

“This is plain and simple murder of helpless parents and kids trying to live a normal life as Lumads. The NPAs killed a pregnant mother, two family members, and three other children—who, the relatives have presumed dead and buried somewhere else—just because of their accusations of having committed crimes against the people. That is ridiculous! Those few people who are still blindly supporting the NPA should rethink if they are aiding a revolutionary group or a criminal group,” he said.

He also commended the PNP and military forces who hiked the mountains for the two‐day search and recovery effort in order to give the victims a decent traditional burial and peace of mind for the relatives who offered tribal ritual and prayers at the grave site. (Erwin P. Bugarin, CMO, 8IB, PA)

support from Smart Communications to provide them with high-speed broadband connection.

However, Smart public affairs head Ramon R. Isberto said that they have yet to check if Malacañan Palace has the existing physical line that they can use to provide internet connection.

The inauguration will happen at the Rizal Hall of Malacañang.

Given there’s only eight remaining days before the inauguration of Duterte, he said it is not certain whether they could meet the physical requirements in time.

“We have to check technically if we can execute it within the timeframe that’s available. We would like to support. The idea is to put connectivity inside Palace grounds. We have to check.

We don’t know of the facilities they have there. We are looking if we can provide the signal that they need there,” Isberto said.

Incoming Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said Facebook will be given the privilege to do a full coverage from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the benefit of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and those who have no television and radio but have mobile phones.

Duterte will take oath at 12 noon and deliver a message shortly after.

Andanar said their discussion also included using the livestream feature to cover the State of the Nation Address (SONA) on the fourth Monday of July which falls on the 25th, and other important events of the Duterte administration.

He added that Facebook might have to suspend some restrictions on this feature to allow a seamless coverage.

“But Facebook will have to study if they can tweak the settings because usually when you go live, after 90 minutes it turns off and you have to switch it on again for a new live event.

She is going to talk to their technical [team]. Apart from that also is a possibility of having to push the event on the Facebook [community[ so more people can watch it,” Andanar said.

The inauguration livestreaming being the first in Asia, he said Facebook might use the Philippines as its testing pad for their new “social television” platform.

The 2000 report from Interpol Washington was grimmer. According to the agency, Ahmed was issued an arrest warrant by the Olmstead County District Court in Minnesota following the November 26, 1999 discovery of two headless bodies in Rochester, including Ahmed’s wife.

Acting on the domestic abuse charge, authorities from the Misamis Oriental provincial police office zeroed in on the alleged whereabouts of the suspect from Opol to Alubijid until they were able to corner him in Cagayan de Oro City.

Ahmed is now detained at the Misamis Oriental provincial police headquarters in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental pending the resolution of his domestic abuse case.

swimmers who tried the area gave up on the water temperature which is 15 degrees Celsius,” Macarine said last Monday afternoon during the launch of the First Filipino English Channel Swim at Marriot Hotel Resorts World.

To prepare for this swim, Macarine has set to leave the country next week to start his acclimatization in London.

“My swimming coach told me to swim two hours everyday in the cold water,” he told MindaNews.

The English Channel separates southern England from northern France, and joins the southern part of the North Sea on its east to the rest of the Atlantic Ocean on its west.

Macarine said he will swim from England to France, then ride the boat back to England.

“Swims usually start at or near Shakespeare’s Cliff or Samphire Hoe (in between Folkestone and Dover), and aim to finish at or near Cap Gris Nez (between Boulogne and Calais),” according to the Channel Swimming Association’s (CSA) website.

“If mountain climbers have Mt. Everest, English Channel is considered the Mt. Everest for longdistance swimmers,” the endurance swimmer said.

“This is considered the ‘Mount Everest’ of open water swims and will be a test of physical and mental strength, courage, sheer human will and heart,” said Georgian Honorary Consul Thelmo Cunanan Jr., founder of the First Filipino International Movement that is organizing the First Filipino English Channel Swim.

Macarine admits some misgivings because “it’s too cold” there but the 40-yearold Surigaonon says he is determined to do it.

S e vera l op en water swimming fanatics have been doubting Macarine’s attempt at swimming the English Channel because he comes from a tropical country.

Macarine is no stranger to cold waters, though, having successfully swam the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland last year, from Alcatraz Island Penitentiary to mainland San Francisco in California in 2014, and in Lake Lane in Florida in 2014.

Since November last year, the former varsity swimmer of Silliman University in Dumaguete City said he has increased his training exercises – from two hours of swimming every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to the same number of hours all weekdays. Sundays are for cross training, either biking or running, he said.

Aside from the cold waters, Macarine said another matter that concerns him is the distance because he hadn’t tried swimming more than 30 kilometers in his nine successful swimming marathons.

“Yes, it’s a long swim but I believe I could do it

like everybody else. The biggest challenge that I will be facing is the icy-cold water with longer hours in the water,” he said.

Macarine said he plans to finished the swim in 16 hours.

“This swim, I will only be wearing regular swimmig trunks, swimming cap and goggles,” he said, noting that he will not wear any thermal suit.

According to the CSA, the shortest distance to cross the English Channel is 21 miles, but some swimmers may have to swim longer if they miss Cap Gris Nez because of the current.

The association said the channel became popular among swimmers when Matthew Webb, a 27-yearold steamship captain, successfully crossed it in 1875.

Since Webb, about 1,100 solo swimmers have conquered the distance, the CSA said.

Macarine said he will try his crossing between August 15 and 20, citing strict rules set by the Channel Swimming and Pilots Association.

The association requires swimmers to register and assigns swimmers to a boat captain who is trained to monitor channel swimmers.

On any given day, 10 to 12 swimmers may be in the water, CSA said, but they are going at different speeds and taking different routes between England and France.

Macarine’s swim is part of his lifetime advocacy for clean seas, environmental tourism, and climate change awareness.

Just like in his previous open water marathons, Macarine followed the Marathon Swimming Federation Rules and performed solo swimming without floating aid or help from any human or sea vessel.

British Ambassador to the Philippines Asif Ahmad, who graced the launch event, said when he got notice of the plan, he liked it because of the global advocacy on Climate Change.

“Because of the conservation efforts we have had, like what Ingemar Macarine is pushing in the country,

one of our rivers which was considered the dirtiest river in Europe … we can now see fish swimming,” he said.

Ahmad said he was horrified when he saw children swimming in the Pasig River way back in 2009.

“The challenge for you, like what we did in the UK, is to clean up the river,” he added.

The ambassador said Macarine, if successful, would be the third person from Southeast Asia to have swum the English Channel, after a Singaporean and a Malaysian.

Ahmad said he will be cheering along with every Filipino who would watch the Pinoy Aquaman every time he would make a stroke.

Former Senator Heherson Alvarez, who served then as the chairperson of the Climate Change Commission and former environment secretary, also graced the event.

He said Macarine’s swim is not about the crossing but the environment.

“Water is rising because of human activities that’s harming the environment.

The glaciers are melting in the North Pole and I hope Macarine will be the ambassador of goodwill,” he said.

He said assured the village residents that the military would stay away from the villages during military operations.

Matinez said that the government troopers would also camp at about 1 kilometer away from the village during operations.

The evacuees, mostly members of the indigenous tribe of Misamis Oriental, evacuated Thursday last week at the height of the military operations in the area.

The evacuees, mostly women and children, settled in front of the provincial capitol building here where they sought the intercession of the provincial government for a dialogue with the military.

PPI INDUCTION. Senior Justice Antonio T. Carpio swears in the newly-elected board of trustees of the Philippine Press Institute (PPI) held at the Century Park Hotel in Manila in time for the PPI’s 52nd anniversary.

PPI elects new set of officers

Marking its 52nd anniversary as the country’s premier association of newspapers, the Philippine Press Institute (PPI) elected a new board of trustees on Wednesday, June 22, at its Annual Membership Meeting at Century Park Hotel in Manila.

Alfonso Pedroche, editor-in-chief of Pilipino Star Ngayon, was elected chairperson-president, taking over the reins from Jesus Dureza, who is set to join the Duterte administration as Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process.

Other elected members of the Board of Trustees are Salvador Diputado of Bohol Times as vice chairman; Joenald Rayos of Pahayagang Balikas as treasurer; and Amalia Cabusao, editor-in-chief, of Mindanao Times as secretary.

The membership meeting marked the opening of PPI’s twoday 20th National Press Forum, the theme of which is

“Understanding the Disputes in the West Philippine Sea,” with Senior Justice Antonio T. Carpio as guest of honour and speaker, who will address the PPI members and guests on Thursday, June 23.

Also making up the new board are Allan Mediante of BusinessWeek Mindanao, Adrian Amatong of Mindanao Observer, and Cabusao as trustees for Mindanao; Maria Fajardo of Panay News, Queenie Bronce of The Freeman, and Diputado for the Visayas; while Sonia Daoas of Cordillera News Agency and Rayos are trustees for Luzon.

Speaking before editors and publishers of community newspapers across the country, outgoing chair Dureza, poised to join the new administration, formally bade goodbye to PPI. He was quick to add, however, that he was not delivering his “swan song” yet, expressing his desire to go back to the media,

as he had done in the past after serving in government.

He was the press secretary under former President Fidel Ramos’s administration and peace adviser to former President Gloria Arroyo, a role he will reprise in the incoming Duterte government.

At the PPI members’ meeting, Dureza reported the association’s accomplishments, during the final year of his three-year incumbency.

These include the implementation of several programs such as trainingworkshops on elections, environment, and sustainable construction reporting in the three regions, which were organized in partnership with several organizations, including Nickel Asia, Oceana and Holcim Philippines.

In his remarks, Pedroche pledged to continue PPI’s commitment to improving the quality of community journalism in the country, saying “good

and honest journalism” must be the hallmark of media’s work.

Following the election of the new board of trustees, PPI members discussed issues affecting them, including the challenges arising from the court accreditation for the media prior to the publication of

judicial notices.

Presidential Decree No. 1079 provides the rules and regulations for accreditation for the publication of judicial notices and court advertisements.

The new leadership agreed to create a special committee to look into issues raised during the PPI

members’ meeting.

Aside from Justice Carpio’s speech on the West Philippine Sea, the second and final day of the annual PPI forum will also be highlighted by the announcement of winners of the 2015 Annual Civic Journalism Community Press Awards.
