He said the affected residents were from barangays Kimadzel, Kibudtungan, Liliongan, Aroman and Ranzo in Carmen town.

Seven persons were injured in last Saturday’s tremor, del Rosario added.

Of the 141 houses affected by the earthquake, 53 were totally damaged and

Energy Program (NREP).

Throughout the years, RE has become a major component of the country’s core energy supply. As of 2010, RE has accounted for nearly 60% of energy requirements. The long-term goal of the NREP is to increase the nation’s RE capacity to 15,303 MW by 2030 or nearly triple the 2010 RE output of 5,438 MW. With the installation and expansion of such hydro plants, its share of the output is expected to balloon. The hydro power sector is projected to add around 5,400 MW by 2030. With such rapid development, RE is expected to be instrumental for the country to achieve energy self-sufficiency in the future.

RE is one of the sectors included in the Investments Priorities Plan (IPP). The BOI is the lead implementor of the IPP which is a list of priority sectors to attract more investment inflows and generate jobs to sustain the economic development of the country.

General Luna town exec vows to set up World Traveller 200-hectare marine sanctuary this year to feature Silay City

GENERAL LUNA, Surigao del Norte– –A 200-hectare marine sanctuary will be established within the year off the waters of this locality dubbed as the “Surfing Capital of the Philippines,” reelected Mayor Jaime Rusillon told MindaNews.

He said the plan is long overdue since the ordinance creating the marine sanctuary was approved two years ago.

Citing a report from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Region 13, Rusillon said the planned marine sanctuary is part of Siargao Island’s breeding ground that needs to be protected.

The mayor said the establishment of the marine sanctuary will not just benefit the local fishermen in the future but also some boatmen, by bringing tourists to the area for snorkeling and diving.

“This will become an additional tourism site aside from the beautiful islands in the area,” he said.

The marine sanctuary will be located adjacent to the three islands

Firms told to accredit themselves

ZAMBOANGA City––The Dept. of Tourism regional office plans to accredit the tourism related business in the Zamboanga peninsula so they avail of perks and benefits provided by the agency in the region.

DOT Regional Director Mar y Jane Bugante estimates that there are about 200 hotels, travel inns and the like, classified as tourism-oriented in the peninsula that can be accredited by the DOT. Bugante said the government is embarking on a campaign to accredit these tourism oriented establishments so they can be included in promotions undertaken by the government.

Restaurants and food establishments does not need to be accredited because they are also patronized by the local populace, she said.

She admitted that tourism oriented establishments are not convinced of the advantages of being accredited with the department.

She said some of them does not see any reason for accreditation because they are already doing well in the business.

However, she said ac-

of Guyam, Daku and Pansukian, now famously known as the “Naked Island.”

Aside from putting buoys for the buffer areas, Rusillon said they will submerge artificial reefs and will put up a floating tourist lounge that would also serve as a guardhouse.

Local government funds will be used to realize the project if we cannot find outside financial sources, Rusillon said.

“I think before September we can probably set this up,” he said.

Some divers and fishermen in the island welcomed the mayor’s plan, saying this will greatly help restore marine life and eventually benefit the local fishermen.

“This is very important for a sustainable marine environment,” said Jonathan Meru, a diver from General Luna and the town’s police chief.

Before his assignment here, he said he has been diving in the island and had seen corals destroyed by dynamite fishing and other destructive fishing methods.

“This [project] would also attract

tourists to recreational underwater activities. The people and fishermen in the town will be the direct beneficiaries of this,” Meru said.

Meru vowed to deploy policemen to the marine sanctuary once it is in place for its protection.

Fisherman Prudencio Meras said the mayor’s plan “is good because the marine sanctuary will become a shelter for fishes and other marine life.”

He said he expects other fishermen to oppose the imposition of a “nocatch zone” within the 200-hectare marine sanctuary.

But this project will eventually be beneficial for the whole community as more fishes can be caught outside the marine sanctuary once it becomes a spawning ground, Meras said.

Discouraging any forms of illegal fishing methods, Meras said he had seen friends lost their lives and limbs to dangerous fishing methods such as dynamite and “buso,” which employs the use of compressors so fishermen can breathe down the water. (Roel Catoto/MindaNews)

BACOLOD City––The Department of Tourism has chosen Silay City to be featured in the magazine World Traveller that has its circulation in China, Negros and Korea.

Renee Marie Reyes and her 11 staff members will call on Mayor Jose Montelibano Friday at the City Mayor’s Office and Tourism Officer Ver Pacete will provide a briefing about Silay as the ‘seat of arts, culture and ecotourism in Western Visayas’.

Montelibano said that it is a good sign that Silay City has been endorsed by DOT as a priority tourist destination in Western Visayas through Director Helen Catalbas of DOT-VI. Pacete said that Silay itinerary includes a visit to Balay ni Ramon Hofileña Museum, Bernardino Jalandoni Ancestral House Museum, Silay City Museum, San Diego Pro-Cathedral, El Ideal Bakery, Balay Negrense, the house of Sen.

LGU Ozamiz conducts synchronized clean-up

By Rutchie C. Aguhob philippine information agency

OZAMIZ City, Misamis Occidental––The Ozamiz City Govoernment has conducted a synchronized clean-up in all its 51 barangays.

The activity was in response to the call of MayorElect Reynaldo O. Parojinog, Jr., the president of the Associated Barangay Council of Ozamiz City, during a recent meeting of the punong barangays (village chiefs).

Based on the monitoring done by the composite team of the Search for Healthy

Barangays and Households in the city, there are still a number of barangays wherein the campaign materials of the candidates in the May 13 elections and garbage are seen in along the sides of the streets.

Thus, Parojinog has asked the village chiefs of the barangays to tear down all the campaign materials, particularly of Barangay Aguada, near the Misamis University (MU), Barangay Triunfo, Sta. Cruz, Tinago, Malaubang and Villa Consuelo, among others.

Meanwhile, Parojinog has explained to the village chiefs

that City Ordinance 1001-04 prohibits setting the garbage on fire, which the team of the Search for Healthy Barangays and Households has seen along the sides of the streets of the barangays.

Because of this eyesore, the Mayor-Elect has called on the barangay chiefs to continue the massive Clean-up not only to be participated in by the barangay officials, Barangay Health Workers (BHW), Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) and beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilya, but by the residents themselves in their respective barangays.

On World Environment Day

Forum seeks link with incoming admin on climate change and environment

By Mike BaÑos Editor-at-large

Civil society groups and their partners in government convene yesterday, June 5, 2013, in Cagayan de Oro to formulate a strategy for engagement with the incoming city administration to institutionalize the civil society local government partnership on good natural resource governance -- as its way of celebrating World Environment Day. “As a gesture of affirmative action, civil society in collaboration with partners from government agencies must assist the upcoming administration in Cagayan de Oro City frame an environmental agenda and come up with an engagement strategy anchored on the principles of sustainable development, specifically on climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and the rehabilitation of its ecological support system particularly the integrity and biodiversity of the watersheds,” said Raoul T. Geollegue, forum convenor.

The forum is organized by SULOG - One Sendong is Enough, Inc., in collaboration with Enterprise Works Worldwide Philippines (EWWP), B-WISER, ICRAF,

Earthsoul Solutions, DENR 10, and Hineleban Foundation, Inc. Geollegue said the impact of tropical storm Sendong (Washi) that hit Cagayan de Oro City on Dec. 16 and 17, 2011 became a major theme in the May 13 elections.

“The issue in fact was pivotal in the changes of the political landscape of the city,” he noted.

“With the welcome results of the May 13 vote, hope springs eternal for those who had long been calling for responsible ecological governance for the city, a call which was amplified by the Cagayan de Oro Ecumenical Bishops Statement on Earth Day last April 22, which underscored the need for transparency and accountability among government agencies and local government officials involved in the issuances of permits for the extraction of the City’s limited and fragile natural resources.”

Geollegue said the forum is essentially an assessment of the environmental situation of Cagayan de Oro and its environs which covers the green (forest), brown (urban) and blue (coastal, river, marine) ecosystems.

“To give a human face to the issues that beset each environ-

mental color, we have invited spokespersons for each of the negatively impacted sectors- farmers, IPs, and fishermen, to give testimonials of their respective ordeals,” Geollegue said. “This will be followed by a short presentation of the efforts, initiatives, and projects of each identified development partners. A round table discussion follows after the partners presentations.”

In crafting its road map towards building resiliency and preparedness of the city to the foreboding impacts of climate change, the new administration must undertake a faithful assessment of the state of its environment -- What are the current compelling issues and challenges?; What are the existing efforts and initiatives to address these? Who are involved and who does what?

It is hoped that at the end of the day, various discrete actions and policy support to enhance and strengthen the Local Government Units (LGUs) capacities in participatory environmental planning and management are identified and deliberated, he added.

“We have high hopes this initiative will lead to a lasting, productive and meaningful en-

gagement among partners particularly between the city local government and civil society.”

The Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council and the Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, with technical assistance from the Enterprise Works Worldwide Philippines (EWWP) has formulated and began the implementation of the Cagayan de Oro River Basin (CDORB) rehabilitation plan as a long-term solution to the general degradation of the Cagayan de Oro watershed that stretches up to the Kitanglad and Kalatungan mountains in Bukidnon.

“Fomenting solid support from the local government of Cagayan de Oro is very vital for the success of this initiative,” Geollegue said.

“In fact, the CDORB rehabilitation work could be accelerated further by the passage of the bill filed by 2nd district Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez allocating P37. 5 million from the annual national budget for the reforestation 3,000 hectares of the Cagayan de Oro watershed.

However, more efforts and initiatives coming from all sectors of society are needed to bring about an accelerated rehabilitation of the city’s precariously impaired

watersheds, he added.

Geollegue cited the following excerpt from the Rio+20 Declaration, UN Conference on Sustainable Development as the inspiration for the forum: “We acknowledge that democracy, good governance and the rule of law, at the national and international levels, as well as an enabling environment are essential for sustainable development, including sustained and inclusive economic growth, social development, environmental protection and the eradication of poverty and hunger.

We reaffirm that to achieve our goals of sustainable development.

We need institutions at all levels that are effective, transparent, accountable and democratic.”

Along the same theme, United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon said: “We live in a world of plenty, where food production outstrips demand, yet 870 million people are undernourished and childhood stunting is a silent pandemic. We must ensure access to adequate nutrition for all, double the productivity of smallholder farmers who grow the bulk of food in the developing world, and make food systems sustainable in the face of environmental and economic shocks.”

Going back to basic government priorities Ped Quiamjot reacted to this corner’s article titled ‘Manicuring Economic Improbabilities,’ June 3, 2013, Mon. Opinion Page. Here is his reaction: “Mr. Cris Diaz I was reading your column this lunchtime. So far, the economic writers have not analyzed well where the growth comes from. Your views helped to enlightened me. When I Cris Diaz was in Surigao Del Sur before the Election, I keep on wondering, why there are still barefoot children running around the streets.Tribal people have come down to the lowland begging for food.

Looking back at the mountains where they come from and the vast tract of green land, there is no reason that these people should go hungry? Where is the growth of 7.8 % in the GDP?” [CD’s reply: That reported GDP figure was a misnomer. It did not indicate whether it was GDP in production – not a GDP on income or expenditure. Too bad, we have a lot of this nauseating economic boosting that happens contrary to what we feel. Nothing to be overwhelmed. Thank you, Ped.] Usually, optimistic technocrats swallow “hook-lineand sinker” government feed economic statistics until knowing that those figures sting. Perhaps, it would be of help to investors and stakeholders to go back to the basic of reviewing government priorities before sticking an objective economic appraisal.

Appraising oneself economic status is the simplest method to prove government claims of a “robust economy.” If one believes that his or her standard of

living improves, then, there could be some validity to these claims. Even the rich could feel the actual status of the economy. With more obligations and commitments, the rich could make a difference in their daily transactions in a growing economy.

It is not only the poor who would feel the discrepancy of an ailing economy. The rich would also feel the brunt of rising prices of commodities, of the losing opportunities, and melting investment.

The only difference is that in a stagnant economy, the poor becomes poorer and the rich becomes richer.

The widening gap between the rich and poor becomes appalling in an ailing economy.

Has the Philippines economy grown in the last 10 years? Such disturbing question would always be a subject of intense economic debate. While the government believes that economic data would prove a lot of economic improvements, these economic aggregates never trickled down to the large masses of our people.

Otherwise, the problem of unemployment and underemployment would never bother the Filipinos at all.

Otherwise, the labour sector would not clamour for higher wages and benefits.

Government economic managers would always say that the country’s economic growth could not be felt instantly. This is not a “hot pepper” economy that one would immediately feel the effects of the growing of economic fundamentals, so to speak. Granting without admitting, when will the Filipino people enjoy the economic growth?

Certainly, the rising cost of fuel, the higher and still growing cost of education, the expensive medical services, and the upward trend of unemployment and underemployment to name a few negate all claims of economic growth. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

Unpreparedness is a national malady

THE reported inability of the cabin crew, flight captain and first officer of the Cebu Pacific flight that nosedived upon landing at the Davao International Airport Sunday evening to appropriately and timely react to such an emergency situation is not an isolated case but a national malady.

What happened inside the aircraft within the 15-minute period after the accident occurred where the airline personnel in that flight were reported to be more shocked than the passengers is the same malady that grips the nation during any emergency. And it is for this reason that casualties are usually high when an emergency, natural or otherwise, strikes. We have witnessed this sad reality

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II during typhoons, flooding, earthquakes, tidal waves, fires and what have you.

The truth is that we are a nation that doesn’t prepare for emergency situations.

The sadder part of this is our national psyche of leaving to God our fate in times of disasters and emergencies.

And when death toll rises as a result of these disasters or emergencies, we simply say it was God’s will why such

tragedies whose magnitude are beyond imagination occur.

God becomes the villain when it is our unpreparedness to handle and react during such emergency situation compounded by our abuse of nature resulting in an imbalance in the ecology that could be pinpointed as the culprit. There is no need to belabor the point that because of our balding

forest cover, rainwater easily turns into killer floods.

Despite this naked truth, we have remained apathetic even if at stake here are our own lives.

All the Cebu Pacific personnel in that ill-fated flight to Davao City from Manila for sure underwent rigorous training on how they should react, how they should behave in such a situation. It must have been their attitude that nothing untoward will ever happen to their flight just like in their previous flights that made them put their guards down. And when that emergency struck, they were figuratively caught with their pants or skirts down.

Their lackadaisical attitude toward being prepared MALADY | page 8

We are born to do good

Fresh Gospel of the day: Mark12:28-34(June6, 2013-Thursday)Mark 12:2834-And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

There is none other com-

Biblical reflection Bro. Edcel L. Closas mandment greater than these.

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. Take note, that “we are born to do good” only.

Ephesians 2:10-For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto “good works,” which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Isaiah 43:7-[Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have created him “for my

glory,” I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Do you love our Almighty God? It is not “enough” if this is not shown to our neighbors.

1 John 4:21-And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

So therefore, we must “do good things to the people around us,” in order our love to God will become “perfect and concrete.”

Biazon, it is time to quit!

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing…” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, the Holy Bible).

-ooo“THEY ARE THE SAME CROOKS”: If you go around to ask how people view the in-fighting among senators that led to the resignation of Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile as Senate President, the visible reaction is that, people really do not care about what is happening in the Senate, and that we should not be believing the charges and counter-charges of each senator against their colleagues. This reaction is usually capped by the statement: “They are all the same crooks anyway”!

-oooFIGHTING OVER THE MONEY OF THE PEOPLE: This is pathetic, not only because it shows the very low level of concern that our people have over matters of utmost importance in our daily lives which allows the crooks and the corrupt to thrive, but more because it is the people who really suffer when their leaders not only fight against one another, but fight over the misuse of funds which could have been devoted to more

Education, Poverty Alleviation and Economic Development

Kakampi mo ang batas

By FILEMON MADRANGKA

Atty. Batas Mauricio productive ventures like providing livelihood programs for the poor and the marginalized, or funding the collegiate education of impoverished but intelligent children.

-oooSENATORS AS WOLVES IN SHEEPSKIN: Indeed, in the case of many of our senators who have been in the Senate for as long as we care to remember, we cannot even attribute to any of them any law that truly redounded to the benefit of the Filipino people. In fact, in many of the laws that they pushed and crafted, the undeniable reality is that there had always been something there that favored the rich, the mighty and the powerful, even when those laws are being labeled as pro-poor or pro-marginalized. Talk about wolves in sheepskin!

-oooLABOR CONTRACTUALIZATION LAW: Take the case of the law that

allowed the so-called “contractualization of labor” in the Philippines. Under this law, any employer can now prevent any laborer from becoming a regular employee by giving that employee a contract of employment that would allow him or her to work for only five months or shorter.

This law is a curse against laborers because it deprives them of their “security of tenure” or their right to continue with their jobs.

Yet, this piece of legislation originated from the Senate and from senators who styled themselves as champions of the poor.

-oooCHINESE PRODUCTS CAUSE CANCER AMONG PINOYS: In Angeles City, there is a commotion among enlightened citizens there about construction products imported from China and allowed to be sold in local stores in the city which QUIT | page 8

The literature on poverty alleviation, welfare and equity clearly identifies the linkage between health, education and poverty. There are significant relationships between education, poverty alleviation, and economic development. This linkage provided opportunities for CCT (Conditional Cash Transfer) that was widely implemented in the Latin America. The principle behind CCT is to provide cash incentives to the family provided that children stays in school and are regularly brought to the health centers to ensure their health. Increased human capital increases the likelihood for individuals to access to more diversified employment opportunities. The link is critical and the three are self-reinforcing.

Education creates greater opportunities for the youth, who go on to work decent jobs in cities. The children remit money back to the parents, who spend on home improvements and the tuition fees for the younger siblings. College-educated individuals are much less likely to end up impoverished (about 1 in 44). Trade schools also create opportunities, with only one in 10 people with post-

secondary degrees living below the poverty line. Unfortunately, the ratios drop precipitously after that. One in three high school graduates and half of elementary school grads are impoverished.

Here are the sobering education statistics: There are various poverty alleviation programs in the Philippines yet there are still many poor counted everytime the FIES (Family Income and Expenditures) is conducted.

While the poverty rate have changed (Reyes, 2002) noted that population increase faster than those crossing than the poverty threshold, therefore maintaining a huge number of poor households. Growth in human capital is an important requirement to mitigate the poverty trap.

Poverty alleviation programs should be multi-pronged, noted (Nordveit, 2008).Integrated rather than marginal interventions are more optimal. For example, children attending school while hungry or in poor health will not accrue the human capital that is expected from the access of education. Health and education programs must be integrated to increase the

cognitive functions of children.

Poverty reduction measures, like those promoted by Henry George in his economics classic Progress and Poverty are those that raise, or are intended to raise, enabling the poor to create wealth for themselves as a means for ending poverty forever. In modern times, various economists within the georgism movement propose measures like the land value tax to enhance access by all to the natural world.

Poverty reduction, or poverty alleviation, has been largely as a result of overall economic growth. Poverty alleviation also involves improving the living conditions of people who are already poor. Several papers focused on strategies towards reducing poverty. Economic growth, employment needs to be fully articulated and empirically substantiated.

Improved education is valuable in itself and also contributes to poverty reduction. The process would thus complete the virtous circle of economic growth via growth of employment with rising productivity and higher rates of economic growth.

sources such as International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Red Cross, thus, are not qualified for the ESA,” Ms. Daisy Ramos, a DSWD social worker, said.

Among the qualifications to receive ESA as well include families that have limited resources that prevent them from repairing or reconstructing their permanent shelter units.

The monthly income of a family of six in an urban area, which is in this case – Cagayan de Oro – should also be below P10,000.00, depending on the National Statistics Coordination Board’s statistic report on food threshold.

Moreover, the Omnibus Guideline also highlights that the families who can benefit from the assistance are those with or without land ownership property but situated in safe areas, and those who are not willing to be resettled and opt to stay in the same location but

compliant with the safety requirements.

The amount of the ESA can only be determined upon the assessment of the DSWD social workers. They base their assessment on the qualifications and their living conditions.

The DSWD emphasizes that only a maximum of P5,000.00 shall be given to those families whose houses were assessed as partially damaged, and a maximum of P10,000.00 for families whose houses were assessed as totally damaged.

The DSWD however clarifies that some may receive an amount lesser than P5,000.00 or P10,000.00 depending on the need and living condition of the families.

“As much as we want to accommodate all the communities’ demand, we are still bound by the policies and guidelines of the ESA. Rest assured, there are still other DSWD social services and social protection programs available to the communities of which they can avail,” Ms. Ramos said.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Reach out to your family today -- especially the older folks. You’ve got the chance to score points with them and also learn something really interesting buried in family history if you get them at the right time!

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Your low-key energy is perfect for domestic pursuits -- and maybe for the right kind of romance! You’re not at your best at a singles bar, but if you can get a date over to your place, things should go well!

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - You need to stand by your plan -- otherwise, you may go off the rails entirely! It’s a good time for you to enlist support and ensure that you keep heading in the right direction through these weird times.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Indulge yourself today -- your energy is great, and you may as well enjoy it all! Even if something feels like it may be too much, keep up the decadence.

You can always recover tomorrow!

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - Settle outstanding debts today, if at all possible. It’s a really good time for you to get a grip on debt, if that’s an issue for you -- maybe you can consolidate multiple bills or negotiate lower rates.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You need to deal with some really crazy ideas today -- which is awesome! It means that you can pick the best of them and run forward far faster than the competition, which is stuck in the past.

Ozamis... from page 1

photo published here) The Filipina artist has also participated in various exhibits in Europe, and has recently held her own exhibit in New York City.

“Not a day passes when I am not planning on my next travel destination,” Baet said in a past interview. She added, however, that what she really loves is revisiting the Philippines.

Baet, whose family constantly moved around due to her father’s work, spent most of her years in school in San Pablo, Laguna, before moving to San Fernando, Pampanga.

She finished her AB English degree at the Holy Angel University, whose student publication Nexus she edited.

Giving back to her alma mater, Baet is selling 30 framed and signed photographs in her exhibit. Proceeds will go to a scholarship program for the school.

Although now based abroad, Baet said she owes much of her success to being a Filipina.

“Being a Filipina, to me, means I am confident to compete with and be pitted against my male counterparts and have a fair shot at success,” she said.

She added that the Pinay’s “fearless and unrelenting nature” also helps, especially as she is a female photographer who shoots alone and mostly at night.

“A Filipina will make sure she gets what she came for before leaving. A Filipina photographer knows that her tripod can also be used as a weapon,” Baet said.

Quake... from page 1

caused cracks on paved roads, OCD-12 said.

Local media reports said here that only vehicles weighing not more than five tons were allowed to pass the damaged bridges as they were supposedly weakened by the successive aftershocks.

The provincial government of North Cotabato and the municipal government of Carmen have declared a state of calamity because of the earthquakes.

The North Cotabato government reportedly estimated the cost of damage at not less than P70 million.

The OCD-12, which is based in nearby General Santos City, is still validating the extent of the damage and has yet to come up with a figure as of Wednesday morning.

The epicenter of last Saturday night’s 5.7 magnitude quake was 13 kilometers northwest of Carmen town.

The same magnitude occurred at 4:08 a.m. Monday with the epicenter at 17 kilometers northwest of Carmen, Phivolcs said.

Phivolcs also recorded continued aftershocks until Wednesday with a 3.6

magnitude occurring at 4:09 a.m. with the epicenter at 12 kilometers northwest of Carmen town.

Roy Dorado, OCD-12 operations division chief, said last Monday that at least 46 families have been provided with financial assistance worth P10,000 each by the Carmen local government unit.

He went to Carmen Wednesday as part of the agency’s continuing monitoring activity on the quake’s impact.

Cebu Pacific... from page 1

Badiola also said that it was standard procedure for the cabin crew to wait for the pilot’s instructions. The cabin crew may only initiate evacuation in instances of engine fire or when the landing gear collapses.

“Sa case ng Cebu Pacific flight, walang fire, walang aircraft malfunction, at umuulan sa labas... kailangang i-consider ang outside factors. Kaya precautionary disembarkation lang,” Badiola added.

More dangerous Meanwhile, according to a Philippine Airlines flight attendant, who refused to be named due to company policies, cabin crew members are only allowed to initiate evacuation in situations such as: - Thick smoke inside and outside the aircraft - Fire or explosion - Water landing - Severe structural damage - Landing gears failure “If otherwise, we will await for a command coming from the flight deck before we proceed to do any actions,” she added.

“We are to assist and guide passengers and to deliver immediate first aid if necessary during an emergency.”

A first officer of a foreign air carrier, who also refused to be named, also said an emergency evacuation may been more dangerous.

He said injuries were common during an evacuation and warning lights inside the cockpit will turn on in case of fire inside the aircraft.

He also said the smoke passengers claimed may actually be from the “fuming effect” or steam coming from the heat of brakes of the nose gear coming in contact with rain water. — DVM, GMA News

mestic workers as similar to those in the formal sector,” Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said.

“The purpose of the law is to not only protect sub st ant i a l r i g ht s and provide better privileges, but also to prepare domestic workers to become more productive citizens of the land,” she added.

The law is also in fulfillment of the country’s obligation under a United Nations convention on the protection of domestic workers globally.
