The Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (RESU) said that based on reports from different monitoring units, measles cases climbed to 172 as of May 16, 2014 from 78 on May 6, 2014. DOH-Caraga had sent a team of vaccinators and surveillance staff to augment logistics and manpower to control the spread of the virus in the city.

Govt energy firms snub city’s energy committee By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor
CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Representatives of the government’s energy firms snubbed the special meeting called by the city’s energy committee last Friday to shed light on the rotating brownouts here. City Councilor Tedolfo Lao, Chair of the City Council’s Committee on Energy, on Monday said that the committee has invited the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), and the Department of Energy (DOE) for the meeting. “The energy committee has sent an invitation to the government power firms, five days prior to the scheduled meeting last Friday. None of their representatives showed up. They did not send communication to skip the meeting,” Lao said. He said that the city council’s committee on
energy has called for the special meeting in order to brief the local stakeholders and the business community on the actual power situation here. “We want an explanation from them why there is a continuing shortage of power supply in the city that has become detrimental to residents and the business stakeholders here,” Lao added. During the meeting, the representative of the Cagayan De Oro Power and Electric Light Company (CEPALCO) told the participants that the power situation in this trading center is gradually stabilizing. Marilyn Chavez, the spokesperson of CEPALCO said, that the NGCP has increased the daily allocation of CEPALCO to 75 megawatts daily from a low of 28 megawatts at the height of the power shortage since February this year. Cagayan De Oro City, the premier capital of Northern
Mindanao, needs a daily 140 megawatts in order to have a normal power and electricity requirements, Chavez said. “The power situation in Cagayan De Oro City is improving. We hope that the operation of the second power turbine of the STEAG coal plant in Misamis Oriental in June will completely pave the way to normal power distribution in the city,” Chavez said. The two-power turbine STEAG coal plant, a German technology coal-fired power plant, contributes 210 megawatts to the NGCP power grid which is distributed throughout Mindanao. The coal plant’s has a sudden and unexplained shutdown in February during the Mindanao wide blackout. Jerome Soldevilla, the STEAG spokesman said, that the sudden blackout leads to the unscheduled maintenance of the coal plant’s two power turbines. “The first turbine that generates 100 megawatts started operations in mid-May,” Soldevilla said. Chavez, however, said that that until the power situation in Cagayan De Oro City is back to normal, the four-hour scheduled rotating brownouts in the city will continue to be in effect.

Brighter days ahead:
No brownouts for Oro over short term By Mike Baños, Editorat-large
THINGS are looking up for Cagayan de Oro City as it enjoys a respite from the spate of rotating brownouts which have plagued it for the past few weeks. “We are happy to announce we had no rotating brownouts these past three days because our allocation
from NGCP has improved,” said Marilyn A. Chavez, senior manager for customer and community relations of the Cagayan Electric Power & Light Co. (CEPALCO) during a May 23 meeting called by the Cagayan de Oro City Council Committee on Energy chaired by Kag. Teodulfo Lao, Jr. to discuss the power situation. Chavez said CEPALCO’s hourly allocation as of last Friday at 1PM had risen to 75 megawatts (MW) compared to only 54MW for the same time a week ago, or an increase of +21MW or 39 percent. “That’s a big improvement and that’s why we did not implement the brownouts. Even if we exceeded our allocation by 15MW, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) did not ask us to shut off.
Although we have no official word from NGCP but there’s reportedly been an improvement in the production of the Agus plants, probably because of the rains,” she added. Chavez added that they expect the power supply situation to improve further this week once the first unit of STEAG State Power Inc.’s (SPI) 105MW plant gets back online. “Unit 1 will be operational by June 1 and recommissioning will be done this Sunday for Boiler No. 1,” said Ma. Teresa R. Alegrio, community relations manager of SPI at the May 23 meeting called by the Cagayan de Oro City Council Committee on Energy chaired by Kag. Teodulfo Lao, Jr. to discuss the power situation. See TERM, page 10

Prov’l officials protest closure of the gov’t external study centers By Cris Diaz Executive Editor
MISAMIS Oriental––Local officials and stakeholders in Misamis Oriental on Monday have protested the order of the Commissions on Higher Education (CHED) to close the external study centers of the state-run Bukidnon State University (BSU) in the province. Provincial Vice Governor Joey Pelaez led 10 municipal town mayors, parents, and students in lodging the protest during a public hearing held in a downtown hotel here on Friday. Pelaez said that the closure of the BSU external study centers in Misamis Oriental would displace about 6,000 students who
have enrolled in the BSU college courses who might graduate during the school year 2014-2015. The CHED has issued a Memorandum Order to
the Department of Education (DepEd) in Northern Mindanao to close the BSU external study centers in the 10 towns in Misamis See study, page 10

97 former communist rebs to get livelihood assistance By DAVE SUYAO Contributor and CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Regional Editor-Caraga
PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur––Governor Adolph Edward Plaza has vowed to extend an immediate and adequate livelihood to the 97 former New Peoples Army (NPA) rebels, who recently surrendered at the provincial Capitol here, to lead a normal and peaceful life. NOTICE NOTICE IS hereby given that the intestate estate of the late spouses LORETO RIVITA BENDIJO and ELENA SALVAN BENDIJO consisting a parcel of land known as Lot No. 4079, Pls-225, Maygatasan Public Land Subdivision (identical to Lot 2297-A, Csd13-000093-D) situated at Poblacion, Bayugan City containing an area of 250 square meters covered by Katibayan ng Titulo Blg. P-18578 si the subject of Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement/Partition of Intestate Estate of the Deceased Couple Lorenzo Rivita Bendijo and Elena Salvan Bendijo under the notarial registry of Atty. Rafael V. Ybanez per Doc. No. 101, Page No. 94; Book No. LXXX Series of 2014. MDN: May 26, June 2 & 9, 2014
Speaking during the significant ceremony attended by Armed Forces Chief Gen. Emmanuel Bautista, Plaza has ordered Ronulfo Paler, provincial environment and natural resources officerlocal government unit, to immediately implement the Upland Sustainable Agriforestry Development (USAD) program to benefit the former rebels. Plaza, however, stressed
that Paler should consult first the former NPAs what they want to start with their livelihood activities when they go back to their respective communities and just suit in the technology transfer under the USAD program. In front of hundreds who witnessed the surrender and the oath taking, Plaza directed Paler to closely coordinate with
401st Commander, Col. Gregory Cayetano in order to immediately know the needs of the rebel returnees specially their livelihood to start a new life. “The event today is very significant, both on the government side and the 97 rebels who are enlightened to turn their back from wrong principles and belief and decided to become free and law abiding citizens of
the country,” Plaza said in his speech. The governor also urged the former rebels to encourage their former comrades still up in the armed struggle to follow suit and help peace and prosperity in their communities in the hinterlands. “For us in the government service, it is just fitting that we must often visit our brothers and sisters. For our brothers and sisters
who were enlightened to go back to the folds of the law who are present now, please open yourselves to your colleagues by telling them to broaden their mind scope so that they can feel and see how beautiful life is in the open and free world,” Gov.

Meet the parents. It is important that you develop rapport with your students’ parents. By greeting them with a smile as a welcoming gesture. Introduce yourself and talk about all of the interesting and new things their child will learn this year. Some parents might be reluctant to leave their children. Assure them that this school year will be great experience for their child. Don’t show that you’re nervous. Remain confident and hopefully some of that confidence will rub off onto students and parents. Students and pupils will greatly appreciate if you greet each one at the door and direct them to their seat. This will ensure that the students enter in an orderly fashion while also allowing you to make direct contact with each of them.
Introduce yourself to the class. Write your name on the board and pronounce it for your students. If you have a difficult name, repeat it several times along with the class. Talk a little bit about who you are as a teacher and a person. Students can relate to a teacher more readily if they see him or her as a person and not just an authority figure or subject expert. Share personal stories about your own summer and encourage students to do the same. Establish your credibility as a teacher by talking about how long you’ve taught or how many students you’ve worked with before this school year. And remember to dress professionally. This can sometimes make students more confident about your abilities as a teacher. Let your students know that you are
capable and prepared for the new school year. Have students introduce themselves to the class. You could have each student stand and briefly state their name and any interests they enjoy. They could also talk about their summer vacations. Try to keep these student introductions to around three minutes per student. Learn student names as soon as possible. Knowing your students’ names gives you the chance to make a personal connection with your class. It also helps you to build positive relationships early on and makes correcting misbehavior easier and faster. There are a few memory tricks you can try. Try a web search to get more information on how to remember names quickly. If you have trouble remembering names, think about using name tags on the first day of class or name plates for students’ desks. You could also take a picture of each student and put the pictures on a bulletin board labeled with the correct names. Make sure you can call a student by their name as much as possible on the first day. Let students know about class procedures. Throughout the first day your students will need to know various class procedures. Lay everything out there for the students on day one. Let students know how attendance will be taken, how lunch money will be col-
lected, where to store their books and school supplies, how to enter and exit the classroom, along with any other classroom procedures you’ve decided to use this school year. Practice classroom procedures so that students are better prepared for when it comes time to put them to use. Use activities and assignments that are fun and achievable on the first day. Choose tasks that you know your class will be able to successfully complete. Students need to achieve success on the first day of school to set the right tone for the rest of the school year. Get the class involved in activities that involve movement and group work. Some fun activities include creative writing/ storytelling, playing music, math games, and reading aloud while students act out the story’s plot. It is sometimes nice to have something tangible to take home at the end of day, so keep that in mind when you’re planning lessons and activities for the first day of school. Make your presence as the teacher known. Give your students maximum contact time. Use whole class instruction as a way stay in touch with all of your students during class activities. Move around the classroom, and stay in the room unless you absolutely can’t avoid leaving. Make sure you’re seen, available, and in charge on the first day of school.
See former, page 11
Preparing for the first day of school
The first day of school is an important one. Simple reminders must be remembered. First, be early on that first day of school. You want to get to class a little early at the start of school. This time will allow you to write on the board and organize your classroom materials and supplies. You can arrange the room the way you want and make sure all of the necessary equipment is in place and working. Never get to class late or even cut it close on the first day. At least you will not appear unprepared to parents or your new students. Make an effort to get there a little early, even if you can only make it an extra few minutes.

Violent shows on television and cable networks need restrictions? Argument: Exposure of children to violent programming on television and cable systems is presently the most damning thing and most harmful to society morals. How do we address this problem? It is true that the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) prohibits all television and cable stations from airing violent programs, movies or footages from 6 am to 10pm (but many children and teens are still up and awake up to midnight and beyond). Television may be considered a very potent and powerful teacher of young children. The problem, according to analysts is that sometimes a modern-day hero who uses violence to get what he wants, confuses the young viewers on what is real violence and the make-believe violence showing on TV, thinking that criminals in the tube are powerful role models. Created in 1985 under P.D.1986, MTCRB initially review and censor films or television programs to improve, upgrade and make viable the industry as a source of economic tool. However, the law does not authorize the MTRCB to prescribe ratings for violence in television programming and rules for signals containing specifications for blocking violent programming in apparatuses with such technical capability. Republic Act 7925 or the Public Telecommunica-
tion Policy Act of the Philippines was enacted into law but also failed to give authority to the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) for broadcast operations of public communications entities. The Journal of the American Medical Association in many occasions since 1975 alerted the medical community on the adverse effects of televised violence on child development such as the increase in the level of aggressive behavior among children. A report of Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation of the United States dated May 1993 revealed that there was an irrefutable connection between the amount of violence in television programs viewed by children and increased aggression among them. With all these premises considered, there must be a solution to the problem. Why not a new law, with a stronger teeth, enacted for the MTRCB and the NTC to jointly prescribe, in consultation with television broadcasters, cable operators, concerned non-government organizations for children, and interested individuals from the private sector, rules for rating the level of violence in television programming including rules for the transmission by television broadcast systems and cable systems of signals containing specifications for blocking violent programming.
Statement
Duterte: I don’t want to go to jail
WHILE several sectors are encouraging Mayor Rody Duterte to run for Philippine president, he has a way of saying: “THANKS, BUT NO THANKS!” His reason: “Filipinos somehow send to prison presidents starting from Erap, now Gloria and who knows, later maybe Pnoy too! No, I don’t want to go to jail myself !” How can you argue against that? End of discussion. HAZARDOUS -- Being in public office can now be “hazardous.” But still, that cannot justify why some of them awarded themselves “ hazard pay” by getting their dirty fingers in the cash-filled cookie jar! CALLOUSED? -- For the first time ever, our country is facing a corruption issue in a magnitude never before experienced with the wholesale involvement of high public officials. While foreign officials resign from their high positions if faced with a controversy, not a single Pinoy official up to now has resigned -- not even a single “leave of absence” while every single day, the list grows longer
Advocacy Mindanao Jess Dureza and longer! Are we now a calloused people? SYSTEMIC GAP -- There is something grievously wrong with the system. If Benhur Luy and Janet Napoles did not have a “falling out,” this scam would have not been publicly known. And many officials may still merrily help themselves with the taxpayers’ money. Our control systems just didn’t work. So, how do we fix this? COUNTDOWN -- There are 721 remaining days left to the May 9,2016 national elections. In the meantime, the NAPOLIST issue is still raging with new twists and additional names. Entertaining for all voters! Let’s see if our voters are more circumspect next time. SMOKING BAN -- Unknown to many, it is not only
in Davao City where there is a smoking ban in public places. This is enforced nationwide by virtue of RA 9211 passed as early as in 2003, otherwise known as the Tobacco Regulation Act. WORRISOME -- I’m getting more worried about the Bangsamoro agreement. I heard the MILF is admitting that the agreement signed needs constitutional amendments to implement it. Then I hear Malacanang saying there is no need to amend the Constitution. Which is which? VS CHINA --- Vietnamese protests against China due to their territorial dispute in the South China Sea resulted to violence like burning of suspected Chinese factories in Vietnam. Lately, China has decided to evacuate 3,000 Chinese
residents from Vietnam fearing more anti-Chinese violence will erupt. We are taking the peaceful option by filing our claims with the United Nations. Pinoys are more CIVILIZED. THAI MARTIAL LAW -- The Thai Armed Forces declared martial law a few days ago. TV stations were shut down and even social media were warned to “behave”. A friend from Bangkok sent word that it’s peaceful there now especially that the rivals, red and blue shirted factions that caused a standoff, were warned. The generals now call the shots! Déjà vu! DEADLY -- Some interesting data. There are now 34 million Filipinos in FACEBOOK. Out of 10 Pinoys, 3.5 are connected with the Internet. This is a potent force to do national transformation and reform. Information technology can be potent, devastating and deadly. It can destroy as well as build!

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The power shortage in Mindanao has caused billions of pesos in losses to the Gross Regional Domestic Product of the island in the last 74 days. The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) reported that a rapid assessment conducted by the agency disclosed an estimated economic losses of P2.3-billion due to rotating brownouts from Feb. 28May 12, this year. Ma. Teresa R. Alegrio, former president of the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation, Inc. (Oro Chamber) during the May 23 meeting called by the Cagayan de Oro City Council Committee on Energy to discuss the power situation said the amount was a very conservative estimate that does not even factor in opportunity losses. Alegrio said the figure includes cancelled consumption and equipment breakdown in some of the industries. Alegrio said NGCP just informs their customers 15 to 30 minutes before cut-off, and when a business company is running to reduce their load with that kind of time, they will
PHL gears up for corporate rules’ changes The Philippines hopes to finalize the proposed amendments to the Corporation Code and revised implementing guidelines of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) this year as it aims to align itself with ASEAN neighbors and spur economic activities. “(We want) to update our laws to make implementation easier in order to deepen the market, to achieve the purpose of the law which is to broaden ownership, accumulation of wealth,” said Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairperson Teresita Herbosa in an interview. Herbosa said the proposed changes to the Corporate Code have been already submitted to Congress and Senate. “Hopefully, (these) will be certified. Because our amendments will really spur economic activities and then improve the level of corporate governance (in the country),” she said. Herbosa said regulators are pushing for one-person corporation and a whistleblower provision in the revised new code.
have breakdown of equipment. This is the problem now confronting most industries who are forced to buy gensets or otherwise face shutdown or closure. Although acknowledging committed power projects are now online, many small scale businesses cannot wait for March 2016 when they start coming online. (Quote -- “It’s important the problem be addressed immediately. The problem is who is in charge of the power crisis? We don’t know who is accountable and responsible. This was the same scenario in 2010. And our new capacities are only good for three years. After that we will again have shortage especially during the dry season. We have to look at long term solutions to this problem.” -- Ma. Teresa R. Alegrio, former president of the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation, Inc. During the stakeholders forum in Davao, the PSALM/ NPC reported that as of May 20 the water level of Lake Lanao stood at 699.51 meters, barely 36 centimeters above the critical level of 699.15 meters when the hydro plants would have to be shutdown. Alegrio said most of the hydro plants in the Agus
complex are derated or producing their installed capacity mainly because of old age since many were built during the 1960s and 70s. The Ma. Cristina Plant (Agus 6) with an installed capacity of 200 megawatts (MW) is producing less than 100MW with many other hydro units not operational because of the lack of spare parts. Government is not keen on spending for plants slated for privatization. Although the privatization of the Agus-Pulangi complex has been deferred, PSALM remains cautious. Alegrio said the NGCP has forecast a peak demand of 1,400MW for this year but the island’s power plants can only produce a peak supply of 1,200 MW. PSALM recently awarded to ITP Construction a P438million contract to replace a unit of the Agus 6 plant, which consists of two units with combined capacity of 50 MW and three units with total capacity of 150 MW. Last December, PSALM also awarded a P1.59-billion contract to rehabilitate two units of the Agus 6 to a consortium of ITP and China-based Guangxi Hydroelectric Construction Bureau. Rehabilitation works have been set to start this
October and completed by the second quarter of 2016. The project aims to increase the output of the first and second units of the Agus 6 from 25 MW to 34.5 MW each. According to Alegrio none of the government’s ballyhooed modular gensets acquired by electric cooperatives are yet operational due to pending approval of the units power rates at the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). A May 5, 2014 report compiled by the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) shows that seven cooperatives are acquiring modular gensets totaling 48MW, another six coops are considering acquiring them (total capacity: 20MW) while another three have acquired them privately (total capacity: 42MW) but have been unable to start operations to date. Meantime, the planned P24-billion Visayas-Mindanao interconnection project has been moved further to 2020 since initial findings show the Surigao del Norte interconnection point to be not feasible due to the 10 kilometer depth of the seabed. The NGCP is initiating another study to investigate alternative sites.
She earlier said they are proposing for perpetual corporation life in line with the trend worldwide. Further, Herbosa said that while changes to the Corporation Code are pending in Congress, the SEC is also amending the SRC. “The SRC will be finished maybe middle of this year
and we will have some public conference, consultation and we are also coming out with the new charter for SEC,” she said. Herbosa said the revised implementing guidelines of the SRC will have a civil enforcement provision that will empower the SEC to file civil cases against people in
violation of the regulation code and impose a penalty. “Sometimes, the more effective way of deterring people when you hit them where it hurts most which is their pocket to pay up, instead of try to convict them which of course they will resist very much,” she added. (PNA)

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Second district Representative Lilia Nuño is supporting the proposal of the Department of Health (DOH) to make it mandatory for everyone to undergo testing for Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome-Acquired immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIVAIDS). Nuño said that the mandatory HIV-AIDS testing will
be of great help especially for places like this city, which serves as the backdoor of the country. “That is very important especially for us because of our being the entry point from Malaysia,” Nuño said, citing a commercial ferry plies weekly between here and Malaysia's city of Sandakan. She noted that Malaysia and Indonesia, the country’s southern backdoor
neighbors, have high cases of HIV-AIDS. She said the welfare of the majority must be taken into account in the mandatory HIV-AIDS testing and the rights of an individual should also be respected. “Let us not talk about the violation of the human rights but let’s think about the protection of the people,” she said. “It is one way we could control the increase of the number of cases since there

Smoking policy still violated, PHO chief says
In an interview, Dr. Hornido said he will soon brought this violation to the attention of Provincial Gov. Rodolfo P. del Rosario. He revealed having found out the violation through discreet monitoring that his office conducted. “We captured videos of the violators,” he said but he refused to name names and even requested PIA not to of divulge yet the government agencies found with employees smoking inside Provincial Government Center premises. He called on government
agency heads to intensify the implementation of anti-smoking policy within government office and its premises in compliance with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) directives. He also asked them to monitor their employees and their areas as he revealed that thrown cigarette butts were found within the premises in some national government agencies (NGAs) located inside the Provincial Government Center. The Provincial Government of Davao del Norte has
intensified its implementation of Smoke-Free Environment policy through Executive No. 04, Series of 2013 issued by Provincial Gov. Rodolfo P. del Rosario in compliance with the CSC Memorandum Circular No. 17, series of 2009, “promoting 100 percent smoke-free environment in government and in public places.” The PHO has mounted announcement on anti-smoking prohibition in wide tarpaulin with corresponding information on the ill-effects of smoking. Billboards on such information are placed in conspicuous places and outside all provincial government offices. Even walls in hallways and those leading to comfort rooms bear announcement of such prohibition and information on the ill-effects to health of smoking. Dr. Hornido said that the

Education makes one to be a sensible person. It means that he can communicate with sense to his fellow being since he can adjust to various levels of understanding. He can understand from simple to critical situations. In addition, he can give an accurate reason to an exist-
ing phenomenon because he understands why such thing existed. Each person’s personality have positives and negatives. It is up to him on what he will use and enhance. Yet, through Education, he will learn on how to take controls over these behaviours. He will be taught how to improve his positives and decline his negatives. In the absence of Education, a person may forget to take control over his intellect. Everything that resulted to success or a mess

Meanwhile, the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte bids for the Red Orchid Award and that evaluators from the Department of Health and from the Civil Service Commission (CSC) are conducting this morning an on-site validation within the Provincial Government Center.

However, being educated is nothing if an entity fails to know the true essence of Education and its impact to an individual’s attitude, behaviour and belief. Life in absence learning is a life that seeks no improvement. Thus, a world in absence of Education is a world that seeks no development at all.

It is important for one to learn and educate his self. Through education, he will realize that he should be aware in his surroundings because there are goings-on happening around and his involvement is somewhat important.

Leadership: In being a guide light, a trailblazer By Elenita J. Navales Teacher II Simpak Elementary School District of Lala South Division of Lanao del Norte
In order for a group to stand, a leader is very important. He must be present for he is the one directing the group to their goals. It takes much courage to be a good leader. It is not a very easy task, a challenging one instead. An important thing that takes to be a good leader is that he should possess characteristics that are usable for him to be an effective and efficient leader to his followers. A leader must have the talent to influence. It is through serving an example to his subordinates. He is a man which footsteps are followed by the people behind him. In this, he must lead his way to somewhere proper for where he would go, his followers would be

there too. He should have the ability to delegate. Delegating tasks to each subordinate is a great help so that each person would know his specific job to perform. The leader should remember that each member’s contribution is a part that completes the whole puzzle. A leader should also be a good communicator. It is important for him to know their feedbacks and insights on a certain task to be perform. A good leader should also have the ability to inspire others. He could do this through talking to them and sharing his ideas, plans and realizations. In this way, he is not just a leader but also an open book to other people, serving as a good source of ideas. Being a leader is being a guide light, a trailblazer, in which others could follow.

lack of merit. Borja’s decision stemmed from the Special Civil Action no. 2007-114 filed by Grace R. Belgado, in her official capacity as director IV, Civil Service Commission Regional Office No. 16 of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, against Normillah Sumigay R. Pangandaman before a court in Cotabato City. Editors’ Note: For the information of the public, the Mindanao Daily News is publishing the Court of Appeal’s decision in toto. “Pangandaman in her motion for reconsideration, appellee contends that her position as Schools Division Superintendent of the Department of Education (DepEd) – Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Division of Lanao del Sur, is not a Third Level or Career Executive Service (CES) position. Her position is not among those enumerated under CSC Resolution No. 10-0623 dated March 29, 2010 and CSC Memorandum Circular No. 2, Series of 2011; that it is not

by the consignee. “It is the preference of the consignee where to pay taxes and duties,” he said, adding that the subport at Tagoloan serves as a transshipment port for international cargoes. The consignee was identified as the Psalm Eight Trading, which was assessed a total of P5,418,416 in taxes and duties for 10 units of Toyota Land Cruiser, 6 units of Toyota Prado and 2 units of Range Rover Sport. All cars arrived separately in three shipments, via the vessels Warnow Mate last January 9, Cape Flint on January 29 and Frisia Alster on February 7, at the sub-port in Tagoloan. “There are documents of all transactions,” Pague said. He said that the customs valuation is based on the transaction value as mandated by law (R.A. 9135), and that all other values are reference values.

news coming from STEAG anytime next week the additional 105MW will be onstream, that’s really welcome news because that could also mean our allocation would also increase,” Chavez noted. However, she added that CEPALCO would still continue posting its rotating brownout schedules since NGCP could shut it off anytime once the Mindanao grid goes critical. “Although we are not cutting off power as announced exactly but anytime NGCP calls us to shut off, those who are on the schedule subject to the appointment power of the President of the Republic of the Philippines. Thus, her position does not require a CES eligibility. “Appellee further contends that the aforesaid Resolution and Memorandum by the Civil Service Commission clarified the exact delimitation or coverage of the Third Level or CES, thus- 1. The Third Level or the CES shall only cover the position of Undersecretary, Assistant Secretary, Bureau Director, Assistant Bureau Director, Regional Director, Assistant Regional Director, Chief of Department Service and other officers of equivalent rank as may be identified by the CESB, all of whom are appointed by the President of the Republic of the Philippines; (Emphasis supplied) 2. Executive and managerial position in the career service other than the foregoing shall belong to the second level; and 3. All policies and issuance of the CSC which are not in conformity with these guidelines are superseded, repealed, amended or modified accordingly. “Citing CSC v. Court of Appeals and Philippine Pague clarified that the BOC-10 will “make sure that the consignee will pay the outstanding obligation.” “To protect the interest of the government,” BOC-10 district collector Ruby Claudia Alameda has written a letter to Assistant Secretary Alfonso V. Tan Jr. of the Land Transportation Office informing that the cars are “under tentative liquidation.” The letter also sought the assistance of the LTO “to deny any attempt for registration on any of the vehicles.” Alameda said the LTO has in turn informed its offices. Alameda confirmed that the cars are on hold pending the payment of taxes and duties in full. She said the customs bureau will not release the cars, adding that the shipment has remained at the Ozamiz Port. “If they could not pay (the P5.4-million) we’ll have to take remedial measures,” Alameda added. The consignee was given six months to settle their obligation. “We are not hiding anything,” Alameda said.
that the DepEd will study the Memorandum Order. “The CHED’s memorandum order is not compulsory since it would be up to the DepEd to implement the order or not,” a DepEd official said. Parents, students, and stakeholders have called for the holding of the public hearing for fear that the BSU external study centers would be closed during this school year. The BSU main campus is located in Malaybalay, Bukidnon and the external study center are part of the program of the government’s
distant education program designed to provide quality and affordable education to students in far flung areas in the country.
Oriental and at the Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School (MOGCHS) in Cagayan De Oro City. Pelaez, a senior official of the DepEd prior to his election as Vice Governor
in Misamis Oriental, said that the closure order is unfair to poor but deserving students who have availed of the BSU external study centers in various towns in Misamis Oriental’s east and west districts. “The BSU external study center program is a very laudable program since it provides an avenue for better education, at a lesser cost, to the less privilege students whose parents could not afford to send their children to expensive colleges and universities,” Pelaez said. Education officials said
Charity Sweepstakes Office, appellee contends that the Supreme Court clarified that two (2) elements must concur in order to be covered by the CES, to wit: 1) the position must either be enumerated under Book V, Title I, Subsection A, Chapter 2, Section 7(3) of the Administrative Code of 1987, or a position of equal rank as those enumerated and identified by the CESB; and 2) the holder of the position must be a presidential appointee. “Furthermore, appellee contends that “CSC Memorandum Circular No. 21, Series of 1994, by the clear language of the aforecited CSC issuances and jurisprudential rule on the Third Level or Career Executive Service issue, is deemed repealed. By law and jurisprudence therefore, peti-
tioner-appellee’s position as Schools Division Superintendent of DepEd – ARMM, Division of Lanao del Sur I, not being subject to the appointing authority of the President of the Republic of the Philippines but of the ARMM Regional Governor, does not belong to the Third Level in the Career Service and does not require a Third Level Eligibility, either CSE or CES Eligibility. There are no other third level positions in the career service outside the Career Executive Service as provided for in Section 7(3), Chapter 2, Title I(A), Book V of Executive Order 292.” “Thus, appellee insists that she may be legally appointed as Schools Division Superintendent of the DepEd – ARMM, Division of Lanao del Sur I, as she possesses the basic
qualifications for the said position. This Court is not persuaded. In Osea y. Malaya, the High Court saidClearly, the afore-quoted portion of Section 99 of the Local Governments made by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. This is because at the time of the enactment of the Local Government Code, schools division superintendents were appointed by the department of Education, Culture and Sports to specific division or location, In 1994, the Career Executive Service Board issued Memorandum Circular No. 21, Series of 1994, placing the positions of schools division superintendent and assistant schools division superintendent within the career executive service. Consequently, the power to appoint persons to career
executive service positions was transferred from the Department of Education, Culture and Sports to the President. “Undoubtedly, the position of the appellee is well within the career executive service which requires CES eligibility. Hence, this Court maintains that appellee is required to possess each eligibility before she can be conferred a permanent appointment to the said position. Having established that appellee does not have the requisite CES eligibility, the Court finds that the Civil Service Commission was correct in denying such appointment. In fine, there is no cogent reason for this Court to disturb the September 28, 2012 Decision. ACCORDINGLY, appellee’s Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED for lack of merit.

weekend, I saw some US naval vessels now docked at the world-class naval facilities that were moribund for years since we closed the US bases during Pres. Cory’s time. I talked at the sidewalk with the locals and they were glad with the new developments. Now we’ve gone full circle. Pres. PNoy opened what was closed during his mother’s time. Poetic justice! SENIORS -- Several malls in Manila have “pay per use” premium restrooms @ P10 per pax. However senior citizens need not pay if they show their IDs. One time my wife Beth noticed me paying the lady attendant by the door! Later, she asked me why. “No it was not a tip, I couldn’t just find my ID, “I explained. That was half the truth. The other half was that she was so young and pretty that I just didn’t have the heart, the industry and the patience to look for my ID in my wallet! ( Hahaha! No worries! All in the mind!)

gratitude to the initiators of the surrender of the 97 rebels and the rebel returnees themselves for acknowledging the sincerity and the concern of the government to the Filipino people by displaying their complete trust in the government as they signify to go back to the folds of the law. “I am very happy and thankful of your decision to go back to the folds of the law. And we in the military and the Filipino people as well, are very glad to accept you here now being with us. The armed struggle that we fought is not the solution to our problems. The solution is we have to be united as one in the minds, in words and in deed. Let us help one another, the local government unit, the national government and the people so that we can reach our goal called peace and prosperity the easiest and the earliest time. For those who are still in the outside movement, submit yourselves because the government will never fail you and your soldiers love you,” Gen. Bautista said.
Recall... from page 1
supported any move by his supporters to recall Moreno from office. However, the report that the COMELEC has ordered a stop to recall proceedings in the country is very disturbing that the people should come out to assert and for the “right to recall” as provided by the law, Emano said. Emano, leader of the influential Padayon Pilipino, a local political party, that won the majority of the seat of the city council during the midterm mayoral elections last May 2013, called on party leaders, members, and supporters to pursue
the recall of Moreno. According to Emano, that Roxas reportedly visited Cagayan De Oro City last week. He suspected that Moreno and the local Liberal Party have become frantic as the signature campaign for the recall of Moreno has already met the COMELEC requirements. Without directly naming names, Emano has intimated that the COMELEC gag order, if true, could have been influenced by the local government Secretary Mar Roxas. “I have the suspicion that somebody might have urged Roxas to find ways to stop the recall proceedings against Moreno here. If true, the COMELEC order is unfair,” Emano said. He said that he has distanced from the initiative of local barangay units to campaign for the required signatures to recall Moreno because he believes of its futility under the present administration. However, the report that the COMELEC has ordered a stopped to all recall proceeding initiatives in the country is very disturbing. “This has prompted me to come out into the open to fight for the right of the electors to initiate a recall against elective public officials,” Emano said. City Councilor Alden Bacal, a member of the Padayon Pilipino, an influential political party here, said that people of Cagayan De Oro will proceed with the recall proceedings against City Mayor Moreno because that is guaranteed by the law. He said that the alleged COMELEC order could be just a hoax designed to dampen the spirit of the people of Cagayan De Oro City to pursue the recall of Mayor Moreno. Marvin Beja, a barangay captain in Macabalan here, said that the recall against Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno was an initiative exercised by the local barangay units to lose of confidence against the incumbent administration. “The move to recall Moreno is not politically motivated. It is motivated by the loss of confidence against the city mayor in the way he runs the affair of the city government,” Beja added. Earlier, Moreno issued a statement welcoming the move to oust him from office through a recall election. “I welcome the recall to determine the real sentiment of the people of Cagayan De Oro,” Moreno said while expressing his willingness to return to private life if defeated in the recall elections. The Local Government Code of 1991 allowed the recall of elected public officials after one year from the date of assumption of office and one year before the holding of a scheduled election. The COMELEC has required the authentic signatures of, at least, 15 percent
northmin . westmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper
of the total registered voters at the time when the last elections were held before a recall could be heard. The COMELEC would then schedule the holding of the recall election where the subject elected official would run under the same post as against any interested candidates who want to contest the elective post. A call on the COMELEC regional and provincial offices here on Monday in a bid to get copies and confirmation of the order proved futile. The personnel who answered the phone calls said that the regional and provincial Comelec officials were not around. The telephone of the city’s COMELEC office rings, but nobody has picked up the phone.

the re-wiring of the electrical connections of the seven buildings in San Martin Elementary School (SMES) in Villanueva last week. The conventional fluorescent lamps in its 17 classrooms were also upgraded to an energy-saving lighting system. Steel gates and concrete benches were also repainted bright blue, upon request of the school. GENUINE VOLUNTEERISM L au n ch e d i n 2 0 0 3 , “Brigada Eskwela” or the National Schools Maintenance Week is aimed at preparing all public elementary and secondary schools in the country for the formal opening of classes every June. Usually done in the last two weeks of May, “Brigada Eskwela” continues to attract volunteers not just from the community where the school is located but also from the private sector. Various business entities and even the media find the program to be a laudable way of living out the value of volunteerism. As the saying goes, “Indeed, it takes a village to educate a child.” “With today’s technology, the Bayanihan spirit is no longer as popular or as vibrant. But through “Brigada Eskwela,” I can see that our younger generations have the chance to experience true community service,” De Sagun said. Employees of FDC Misamis used their expertise in inspecting the facilities of SMES and found that there is a dire need to address the hazardous state of the school’s electrical connections. This also tied in with FDC Misamis’ core business so it was with much eagerness that employees volunteered their expertise in ensuring that SMES would be a safer place for schoolchildren. AN ANSWERED PRAYER The electrical connections in all the school’s 7 buildings are sub-standard and the safety of over a thousand pupils is a perpetual concern.
“Since I was assigned principal here for SMES three years ago, it has been my fer vent prayer that someday God will give us a donor who could fix our electrical connections,” said SMES Principal Ma. Theresa Delegencia. “It was an answered prayer indeed – thank you God for not failing us!” Delegencia also said it was a “great privilege” for pupils, teachers and parents that SMES was this year’s “Brigada Eskwela” recipient school. HEART FOR EDUCATION Villanueva Mayor Julio Uy also expressed his thanks to FDC Misamis for participating in this year’s “Brigada Eskwela”. “I am grateful for FDC Misamis for their participation in this year’s “Brigada Eskwela”. Perhaps, everybody thinks that this annual activity is just cleaning and gardening of our school campuses. With FDC Misamis going beyond the usual expectations, I am truly grateful for their help in making our schools safer and having a heart for education. I am sure that the newly-rewired electrical connections of the 7 buildings in San Martin Elementary School, and upgrading of the conventional fluorescent lamps to energy-saving lighting system, will give our teachers, parents and pupils peace of mind.”

Biblical reflection
Bro. Edcel L. Closas
Salin Special Gospel of the day: Luke1:3956(May27, 2014-Tuesday)Luke 1:39-56-And Mary arose and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb. This is the incident of the scripture that we imitate in our respect and veneration to Blessed Virgin Mary. Only Catholics salute to Mary because we believe that she is the closest to her son Jesus Christ. In Psalm 45:9-Kings’ daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. According to Revelation 12:1-and there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. Mary is the queen of heaven and this is an indication that she is always watching us every now and then. Revelation 6:9-And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were “slain” for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. Do you agree with me that Mary is one of the souls in heaven that are praying for us constantly? In John 2:1-12-during the wedding in Cana, Mary intervene and rescue the family who was supposedly ashamed from the insufficient of wine. This is concrete evidence that “Mary is a very concern to our needs and necessities: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO.
