Town vice mayor’s brod nabbed in shabu den raid CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- A brother of a town vice-mayor in Misamis Oriental was arrested Wednesday with two others for possession of the illegal substance methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu).

PO3 R aul Gorra of Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (Cocpo) Station 6 identified the main suspect as 44-year-old Porferio Roa, a resident of Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.

In subsequent interrogation, Roa admitted that he is the brother of Balingasag Vice Mayor Marietta Roa-Abogado and this was

independently confirmed by the police.

Gorra said they received a tip a few weeks back of a house in Purok II, barangay Puerto, that is allegedly being used as a shabu den.

The police swooped down in the area at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday through the aid of an entrapment, even they chanced upon several persons who are purportedly buyers in the shabu trade there.

Several men scampered, including the owner of the house, but Roa and two others were caught red-handed sniffing shabu.

The other two suspects were identified as 44-yearold Ruben Estopa, a resident in the said place, and 39-year-old Arnold Mar-

quita of San Vicente, Casinglot, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.

Seized from their possession were three sachets of shabu although their volume and value are still to be determined by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) regional laboratory.

Gorra said that Roa is reportedly an employee of the Balingasag municipal hall.

Police authorities submitted three separate complaints for violation of Republic Act (RA) 9165 against the three suspects before the City Prosecutor’s Office.

Another suspect in ‘Dignos’ killing falls

By CRIS DIAZ, Executive Editor

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- One of the four suspects in the killing of a radio commentator in Bukidnon fell when government agents arrested a former police officer facing drug charges in Valencia City, 134 kilometers southeast of here.

Reyford Uy, assistant

regional director, of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), said on Thursday that agents arrested Raul Frigno on charges with “obstruction of justice and illegal possession of firearms.”

During a background check, the PDEA agents discovered that Frigno was one of the four suspects who

reportedly shot to death Joas Dignos, a radio commentator, in Valencia City sometime in November 2013.

Police operatives also arrested the other suspect identif ied as Dionisio Daulong, an inmate who bolted from the Valencia City jail last week.

News in Focus

Army’s 4ID supports National Tree Planting Day In observance of National Arbor Day, the 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division, through its different line units and in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of Regions – 10 and 13, Local Government Units, schools, civil society groups and the citizenry, conducted simultaneous tree planting activities at their respective areas yesterday.

Thousands of different tree species were planted in the two regions.

The undertaking was aimed to create awareness on the uniqueness and fragility of the ecosystem and biodiversity; to encourage people to show concern about environmental protection; and see these trees grow into the future; and improve landscape and aesthetics, as well as add tranquility to the surrounding areas.

Major Gen. Ricardo Visaya, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, urged participants to let the activity bind them to become one nation with a common goal of bringing back the lost glory of Mother Nature.

MGen. Visaya said the Army is more than willing to support this kind of advocacy since they are the steward of the country’s territory and the protector of the people and the

environment.

Arbor Day encourages individuals and groups to plant and care for trees. It has been institutionalized to be observed every June 25 throughout the nation by planting trees and ornamental plants and other forms of relevant activities.

The necessity to promote a healthier ecosystem for the people through the rehabilitation and re-greening of the environment was stressed through Proclamation No. 643.

NIA-Caraga project delays caused millions in damages

By PAT SAMONTE Caraga Regional Editor

BUTUAN CITY -- Agusan del Norte First District Rep. Lawrence L emuel Fortun revealed that delays in the implementation of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) projects in his district “had caused millions of pesos in damages” in terms of government funds allotted for the irrigation facilities, as well as lost of income for the farmers who were the intended beneficiaries.

In an interview, Fortun said the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability’s latest inquiry on his expose of NIA-Caraga’s alleged negligence in project implementation and misleading accomplishment report, showed that “almost all of its projects have not been finished.”

In his privilege speech, Fortun lambasted NIACaraga’s Status of Project Implementation for CY2012 - Agusan del Norte, which he described as “replete with

lies and misrepresentation” and that the “inconsistencies and disparities are unmistakable.”

“Seven projects in my district should have started in 2012. Activities commenced only in March, 2013,” he said.

NIA-Caraga, headed by its regional manager, Engr.

Encarnacion Soriano, submitted as reasons for the delays, bad weather conditions like Typhoons Sendong in 2011 and Pablo in 2012, road right-of-way problems in project sites and damage to dams that supplied water to irrigation facilities.

Fortun said the problems on road right-of-way should

have already been solved prior to bidding out the projects. NIA is expected to be aware of this concern and should have addressed it.

The committee, chaired

by Rep. Oscar Rodriguez, found out during the hearing that while projects had been awarded to several contractors, only one contractor appeared to have monopolized or controlled the projects,” Fortun said.

NIA-Caraga contractors included ZMG Construction, WIRO Construction, MCB-Zamora Construction, PALMEA Construction and Development, Ruiz Engineering and Construction, St. Bernardine Construction and Enterprises and

CDO’s whitewater rafting operators feel crunch

By Froilan Gallardo

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The whitewater rafting adventure industry that has made the city famous among tourists has suffered a backlash caused by bad publicity over the June 13 accident that claimed the life of a nurse from Bohol.

Vital Espulgar, president of the Oro Association of Rafters (OAR) and operations manager of the Golden Friendship Outfitter group, said over 200 tourists cancelled their tours last week because of the accident.

“Many of those who cancelled are parents whose children have booked tours and corporate employees who have planned to go white water rafting with us,” Espulgar said.

“Many of those who called to cancel told us they got scared after learning of the accident,” he added.

Another tour operator, Rex Tapungot of Red Rafts, said 104 of his clients for this weekend have also cancelled their tour.

Dorothy Pabayo, who heads Task Force Rapids said an estimated P600,000 in potential business earnings was lost with the withdrawal of 200 tourists last week.

“This does not include the loss of business potential in the local hotel industry and transportation business,” Pabayo said.

Pabayo made it clear that Mayor Oscar Moreno did not order the suspension of the whitewater adventure tours even as they conducted refresher courses to ensure the safety of tourists.

Dale Vallejos , safety

staff of the Philippine Red Cross said the first batch of 27 guides underwent a refresher course that included basic life support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults, and emergency first aid.

Vallejos said the next two batches will undergo training next month.

Meanwhile, Gerome Garcia, a pioneer in the whitewater adventure tours denied he was blacklisted for allegedly resorting to “flipping” his rubber rafts to provide thrills to his clients.

Garcia said the practice of “flipping” is also common among the six tour operators that comprise OAR. He said there were other “serious accidents” that were “unreported” by the tour operators.

“There is no official record that I am blacklisted. If I am blacklisted, why only me when other operators are flagrantly doing it,” Garcia said.

“Flipping,” the act of intentionally turning an inflatable raft upside down by river guides, is prohibited by City Ordinance no.

12029-2011 enacted on June 7, 2011.

Pabayo said she would ask Garcia, whose outfitter firm is licensed in Baungon, Bukidnon, to join and participate in the implementation of safety measures in the conduct of whitewater adventure tours.

“Everyone who conducts white water tours, does business along Cagayan de Oro River should participate. Let us save this industry,” she said.

Chisum Factura of the

Kagay Journey-White Water and Kayaking said they have voluntarily suspended their operations so their 15 guides can attend refresher courses conducted by themselves and the PRC. He said their guides have completed three of the six safety courses they have outlined to strengthen their safety protocols.

Factura said “Philip”, the river guide who steered the boat that met an accident resulting in the death of 26-year old Aizza Calipusan Balbin, has been distraught and traumatized by the incident.

“Philip” did not attend the two-day refresher course conducted by the PRC and attended by 27 river guides at the City Tourism Office on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Factura said they have seen it fit for “Philip” not to attend the refresher course and instead undergo a trauma debriefing along with the other guides who participated in the recovery of Balbin, who was missing for two days after their raft capsized last June 13.

Mark Jeoffe of the International Rafting Federation said the raft of Balbin and “Philip” slammed into the side of a huge limestone outcropping catapulting the boat and throwing all aboard into the water.

Three of Balbin’s companions and “Philip” survived the rampaging waters of the Cagayan de Oro River.

“We noticed he was very withdrawn after the incident so we felt he should go a trauma debriefing along with the rest of our guides,” Factura said.

It was learned that Philip has yet to give a full account of what transpired during the rafting accident.

Pabayo said the city government is studying proposals increasing the accreditation requirements of river guides who are paid P400 to P600 per trip.

“The key to safety is how the guides will react to any emergency,” she said.

Camiguin coastal safety net programs set MAMBAJAO, CAMIGUIN – After years of pursuing the establishment of proper marine protection and management here, the Camiguin Coastal Resource Management Project (CCRMP) is now on its final phase, geared up with a sustainability plan. This plan is an updated and revised approach that incorporates phase interventions and ensures continuity of the programs and activities beyond the project life.

The project began in 2007 with the aim of institutionalizing coastal resource management (CRM) as a basic service of the local government units, thereby increasing natural productivity and enhancing the integrity of the coastal and marine resources in the island-province.

The second phase commenced in February 2012.

Building on the achievements of Phase 1, CCRMP Phase 2 aimed at strengthening further the local governance and capability in CRM, as well as in promoting conservation-based economic development that is compatible with coastal resource management efforts.

Specifically, the project facilitates the development of enterprises that provide viable supplemental income to the community while promoting wise use of natural resources and minimizing coastal ecosystem threats

such as fishing pressure.

These include projects like bottled sardines and coco-sap sugar production as well as the establishment of the Taguines Lagoon Aguasport and Recreation Facility, Pasil Eco-tourism Support Services Enterprise, and the Fish Trading, Cold Storage and Fish Landing Facility.

Considering also the island’s collection of natural underwater treasure, more than 30 marine protected areas (MPA) are currently established in the province, either declared through a barangay resolution or municipal ordinance which restricts human activity to protect the living, nonliving cultural or historic resources. Fifteen of these already exist prior the inception of CCRMP. The Protection includes limit on development, fishing gear types, fishing season, catch limits, moorings, to complete bans on removing marine life of any kind in hope to restore damaged habitats, improve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem health and processes, permitting fish to mature and reproduce.

Other project components include the delineation of its municipal waters, establishment of the Interpretative Center, deputized fishery wardens, reef monitoring, and regular coastal clean-up activities.

This green endeavor is in line with the Green

Our DOLE program of the Department, which seeks to attain green jobs. This is any job that reduces environmental impact, contributes to climate change solutions, and results not only to environmental, but also economic and social benefits to the community and to the workers. So are jobs that help protect the ecosystem and biodiversity, and reduce energy materials and water consumption.

The planted mangrove

will be monitored regularly through the partnership with the barangay to ensure their growth and as part of greening measures.

Iligan City is one the areas badly hit by Typhoon Sendong last December 2011. This effort can help prevent same flooding incidence in the future.

worked for a year Health Insurance as benefits for working mothers is a must. Not all employers give every working mom access to healthcare benefits, And for working mothers, health coverage increases in importance. A decent insurance package not only covers the costs of prescription formula— it absorbs the price of doctor’s appointments and emergency room visits as well. Working mothers never know when they will need to have health insurance, thus many moms do not care if they can be members of Philhealth or Pag-ibig Fund or not.

Gaining access to sound health services is crucial to working mothers and that of their children. As modern-day heroes, working mothers deserve even a free health insurance coverage from the government.

help, because financial distress is an even more potent source of marital unhappiness and conflict.

Maternal employment could be good for women and families, While the average working woman might be better off, we need to offer better maternity leave and child care for those more at risk.

Paid Maternity Leave is very valuable to working mothers. Expenses are never-ending, enduring through pregnancy, birth, and caregiving.

From baby formula to nannies, the cost of living doesn’t screech to a halt just because a woman gives birth.

That’s why paid maternity leave is such a big deal. There must be no restrictions that might bar them from receiving this benefit. For some companies, maternity leave benefits are not given if you have not

The Philippine economy breathes life through agriculture but irony of all ironies is that the huge majority of the country’s peasants are engaged in subsistence farming mainly because of landlessness.

Here in our land the tillers of the land do not own the land. In a country whose economy depends on agriculture, this is an anomaly.

As what I’ve mentioned in previous columns, no country can exist without agriculture. Life is tied to agriculture for its sustenance. And I don’t see any possibility in the next 1,000 years perhaps that science could produce food for the world’s populace through the laboratories.

Food for life’s sustenance

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II will still be tied to land, and that goes without saying to agriculture. Since this primary sustenance of life is tied to agriculture, governments, be they US-type democracy, socialist or even communist, are mandated to ensure agriculture’s ability to provide food to everyone at a cost affordable to all.

The Philippine government, past or present, is aware of this mandate. Its

awareness in this regard is proved by the fact that for a long time the fall of previous presidents from the graces of the citizenry was anchored on their ability to make rice available at all times at affordable prices to everyone.

The need to ensure that agriculture is able to feed everyone is the reason that moved the Marcos administration to let the country

play host to the biggest rice institute in Asia, the International Rice Research Institute or IRRI inside the University of the Philippines Los Banos, Laguna campus.

This institute is mandated to find scientific ways to make rice production always at par with the growth of the population.

Rice eating Asian countries were alarmed that time will come their respective production of this staple food may no longer be at par with their burgeoning population. IRRI was thus tasked to come up with solutions to this impending problem by producing out of its laboratories rice varieties that could withstand the onslaught of nature and could be harvested at the See WORTH, page 11

The rice eating Asian countries were aware that if rice becomes scarce it could certainly trigger unrest among their respective citizens. That is how important rice production is in particular and agriculture is in general to life itself.

Past administrations in this country likewise tried to address other concerns plaguing the agricultural sector such as the landlessness of most of the Filipino farmers. Sadly, however, all past and present administrations are found wanting in this regard. They have not truly addressed the root causes of the agrarian unrest in the country.

Lands were supposedly distributed to landless farmers in the so-called new frontiers, a copycat of the US new frontiers when settlers from mother country Britain started to occupy the newly found vast land in what is now know as North America. Farmers from northern Luzon were brought to Mindoro, Palawan and some were given lands in the Isabela-Cagayan new frontier.

Later Presidents opened Mindanao as the latest of these new frontiers where landless farmers even in the Visayas such as Cebu were given homestead lands in several areas in that socalled Land of Promise. This accounts why in Mindanao there are Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Ilonggos aside from its native settlers, the Manobos, Bagobos, Tirurays, to name just three, including our Muslim compatriots.

Sadly, however, these governmental actions did not truly address the issue of landlessness among our farmers. The first issue that the homestead farmers faced was the lack of governmental support to ensure their productivity as farmers. Yes, they were given lands but they were not given other support so that they can start a new life as farmers in their respective homestead.

They were left on their own. They were made to fend for their own selves in the new frontiers where they were admittedly aliens to.

They were not even assisted in having their homestead titled to them thus most of them ended up not owning the land supposedly granted them by the government.

Those who were lucky enough to have their homestead titled under their names ended up selling to others a part or the entire homestead for failing to make their homestead productive for lack of support such as farm implements and seeds. If the government’s homestead program was meant to fail, it greatly succeeded in this regard.

The present-day example of this government program is the current yet frantic distribution of lands to supposedly beat the deadline set

by law before its expiration by the end of the month and this includes the recent parceling out of Hacienda Luisita where the farmer beneficiaries of the land reform program are left to fend for their own survival.

What can a subsistence farmer do with his land without government support? This is the issue with this frantic distribution of land to the landless under this administration.

Ms. Tingcang emphasized that the advocacy on climate change has been designed to build resiliency among Sibugaynons through information dissemination with media partners.

“We recognize the fact that the partnership we will forge can create a great impact on the community, as the media serve as an effective tool to cause behavior change,” she said.

Mr. Rudyard P. Pacas, protected area and wildlife coastal zone management services officer of DENRSibugay presented the biodiversity of Sibugay province.

He said the Philippines is host to about 70 to 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity and is considered one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots in the world.

“In Zamboanga Sibugay alone, two municipalities, Buug and Malangas, have been proclaimed protected area under Republic Act 7586 as part of the Dumanquillas Bay Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (DBPLS),” he pointed out.

Mr. Antonio D. Vega, also of DENR-Sibugay, talked on “The Environment, Abuse and Impacts,” pointing out that “the great change in climate that we are experiencing nowadays is due to our apathy to our environment.”

Ms. Tingcang stressed that “climate change is not just about protecting the environment; it’s about protecting ourselves and our families.”

The media forum on climate change is a collaborative effort between the DENR and PIA aimed at fostering partnerships with public and private communities to include the youth, academe, local government units, civic organizations, etc. (FPG/ EDT/PIA9- Zamboanga Sibugay)

He said that the PDEA agents collared Frigno, who tried to stop the arrest of Austerio Pamisa, 40, a former police officer, who was the subject of a warrant of arrest issued by a local court in Malaybalay City last Tuesday.

Uy said that the PDEA agents also seized 50 grams of white crystalline substance believed to be “Shabu” (Methamphetamine Hydrochloride) worth P 400,000 and other drug paraphernalia from Pamisa.

He said that Pamisa was booked for violation of the anti-illegal drug law under Republic Act 9165. Frigno would be hand over to the local Philippine National Police (PNP) to face alleged murder cases apart from the charges filed by the PDEA in Northern Mindanao against him.

inevitable, the damage to life and property could be minimized.”

Bacal recalled that one of the earlier amendments was the prohibition of “raft flipping” and other dangerous maneuvers while river rafting along the rapids of Cagayan De Oro River.

He said that the Safety Organization of the Philippines has recommended the prohibition of the “raft flipping,” an intentional tossing with a sharp movement by the whitewater guide and/ or passenger in order to turn the water raft upside down during the whitewater rafting runs.

The death by drowning of a domestic tourist last June “Friday the 13th” took place when the whitewater raft turned upside down during the rafting runs, Bacal said.

He said that the city council committee on tourism has invited members and operators of the Oro Association of Rafters to help in the review and introduction of amendments to the Whitewater Rafting Ordinance.

Rex Tapungot, operations manager of the Cagayan de Oro River Tours Corp/the Red Rafts informed the committee that all outfitters and river guides were required

to undergo training from the Philippine National Red Cross.

“Considering that the White Water River Rafting is a One Town One Product (OTOP), the Department of Trade provides funding for all trainings conducted

by PNRC such as first aid sportsmen, CPR/Basic Life Support, Basic Swimming and Water Safety and Rescue,” Tapongot said.

However, City Councilor Ramon Tabor, of the police, fire, and public safety, has recommended the suspension of the whitewater rafting runs at the Cagayan De Oro River pending review of the rafting ordinance.

Tabor also batted for the implementation of rules that should be observed strictly by the rafters and stakeholders in order to avoid the occurrence of fatal accidents during rafting runs.

Aiza Balden, 26, of Loboc, Bohol, who worked as “online nurse” in Cebu City died of drowning when she failed to resurface after the raft she was on board turned upside down after hitting the stonewalled river bank of the Cagayan De Oro City last June 13, “Friday the 13th.”

Local rescuers retrieved the body of Balden, three days after a search along the treacherous Cagayan De Oro River known as a “world class whitewater river rafting” water tributary in Northern Mindanao.

modules discussed include Career Coaching which provides information on the priority degree courses for manpower supply until 2020, Entrepreneurship which tackled component topics on the identification, sourcing, organizing the required resources and starting a new business, and the Organization and Management which dealt on the right to organization.

The skills training and BES modules of DOLE are part of the commitment of the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) to KALAHI-CIDSS beneficiaries by coordinating with DOLE agencies to also facilitate in confronting the impending needs of the communities. Beneficiaries will come up with proposals on livelihood projects that are related with the skills acquired through TESDA.

“This only shows that even in a shopping mall, constant inspections must be enforced so proper hygiene is practiced strictly,” Moreno added.

The team also found out that some cooks and waiters have no health certifications issued by the City Health Office here, Moreno said.

Moreno said that any restaurant employee should first get an accreditation from the CHO before he is allowed to report for work.

A CHO health card means that the bearer has undergone the required hygiene seminar and has passed both x-ray and stool exams, Moreno said.

He said that the inspections at the Ayala Mall here was the initial salvo as the local CHO has started a year-round inspection of all establishments in the city, particularly the establishments in the local food industry.

For now, the violators were issued a verbal warning but also indicated to restaurant managers that they will be back inspecting their premises after two months to ensure that all the discrepancies would have been corrected, Moreno said. CD/FM

Special Gospel of the day: Lukas5:111(June 27, 2014-Friday) Luke 5:1-11-And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing [their] nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

And they beckoned unto [their] partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink: In Ephesians 6:6-8-not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.
