Church official urges PNoy to ban coal-fired power plants

AN official from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) asked the Aquino government to execute a moratorium on all coal-fired power plants as a concrete step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The statement was made

by National Secretariat for Social Action (NASSA)/ Caritas Philippines Executive Secretary Fr. Edwin during the Interfaith Dialogue on Climate Change held in Malacañang.

While the Philippine government has already pledged to reduce carbon

emissions by 70-percent in the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) submitted to the Conference of Parties meeting in Paris this December, Gariguez said that it can do more through changes on existing policies.

The CBCP executive

said the Philippines has become heavily dependent on coal energy with at least 19 coal-fired power plants currently operating across the country and 20 more to be operational by year 2020.

“Worse is, these coal projects are located within the peripheries of commu-

nities that are traditionally home to millions of Filipinos and are supported by rich ecosystems and biodiversities,” he said.

Gariguez pointed out how coal mining contributes to climate change, endangers ecosystems, as well as the health and lives of the

people.

He cited as examples the strong typhoons such as Typhoons Yolanda and Lando that are occurring more frequently.

Scorching heat likely in run-up to 2016 polls

By Catherine J. Teves of PNA

Preparations for the May 2016 national and local polls are expected to continue intensifying and so is temperature amid the potentially record-strong El Nino phenomenon.

State weather and climate authority Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) predicted a maximum temperature nationwide to mostly exceed averages as the country heads towards next year’s polls, elevating need for precautions against likely scorching heat.

“Slightly warmer than average temperature is expected,” said PAGASA’s Newly installed Vice Mayor Candy de la Rosa Darimbang poked the gavel as she preClimate Monitoring and sided over the special session of the City Council on Friday, the day after she and Ian Prediction Section OIC Acenas were sworn in as vice mayor and mayor of Cagayan de Oro City, respectively.

The restraining order, a layman’s view

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

THERE is a broiling conflict among the legalists in the interpretation of the restraining order issued by the competent courts.

However, the ordinary man has to know what the issue is all about.

Basically, there are two kinds of restraining orders: The simple temporary restraining order (TRO) and the writ of preliminary injunction, which carries the “status quo ante-order.”

The writ of preliminary injunction is issued merely

to preserve the status quo ante. It is generally availed of to prevent actual or threatened acts, until the merits of the case can be disposed of. The sole object of a writ of preliminary injunction, whether prohibitory or mandatory, is to preserve the status quo and prevent further injury to the applicant until the merits of the main case can be heard (Dolmar Real Estate Development et al. v. CA et al., G.R. No. 172990, February 27, 2008).

APEC adopts ABAC’s initiatives to boost economic participation of MSMEs

By Kris M. Crismundo of PNA

MANILA -- The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has adopted key initiatives of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), the voice of businesses in the region, to boost the economic participation of micro, small, and medium

enterprises (MSMEs).

During the opening of ABAC fourth meeting for 2015 in Makati City on Saturday, ABAC Chair Doris Magsaysay-Ho said the recommendations of private sector to improve the region’s business environment for MSMEs were well received by APEC.

Ho cited that the forum has carried out recommendations for MSMEs in sectors of services, finance, ecommerce and food security.

In particular, these ABAC initiatives that adopted by APEC are: • the establishment of Asia Pacific Services Coalition and launch the Regional

Services Coalition that will put forward services agenda in APEC to foster growth and efficiency in the sector; • the Asia-Pacific Infrastructure Partnership and the Asia-Pacific Forum on Financial Inclusion under the Cebu Action Plan which aims to improve MSMEs access to finance;

• the Asia Pacific Food Industry Forum that engages the private sector to convey priorities and concerns on food security; and • the first APEC SME Summit which targets to mainstream the innovation agenda in the region Furthermore, Ho noted that the Boracay Action Plan

of Ministers Responsible for Trade and the Iloilo Initiative of SME Ministers will allow more micro and small businesses to participate in the regional and global trade.

MSMEs comprise 97 percent of businesses in APEC, employing more than half of the total workforce in the region, sharing 13 to 60 percent of gross domestic product and accounting for 35 percent of direct exports.

“APEC and ABAC both worked on the theme of inclusive growth, our priorities are nearly identical, showing that we share an understanding and appreciation of the work that needs to be done to address the pressing economic concerns facing the region,” she said.

The private sector arm of APEC will present to See adopts, page A6

Drought likely to continue haunting PHL

By Catherine J. Teves of PNA

THE prevailing strong drought-driving El Nino phenomenon is threatening to cause further challenges to the country early next year.

Data from the government’s weather and climate authority Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) released Wednesday indicate the possibility of drought increasingly gripping the country.

“Significant reduction in rainfall is predicted over most parts of the country beginning this November until April 2016,” PAGASA senior weather specialist Anthony Lucero said Wednesday during a forum in Metro Manila.

He likewise noted dry conditions will likely affect most parts of country during such period.

PAGASA data further show nationwide drought incidence as possibly soaring and peaking in 2016’s first semester.

“By the end of January 2016, some 16 percent of the country will likely experience drought,” said Lucero.

He noted such incidence can rise to some 39 per-

cent and an even higher 60 percent by the end of February and March next year, respectively.

PAGASA forecast the nationwide drought incidence as possibly peaking at around 83 percent by April’s end.

Such drought will likely begin easing to some 50 percent around the end of May when PAGASA expects onset of the rain-driving southwest monsoon or “habagat”.

“The current El Nino is forecast to persist until theMarch-April-May 2016 period,” noted Lucero.

He said latest available data also show the strong El Nino at present will likely further strengthen in the tropical Pacific.

PAGASA is still not discounting the possibility that such El Nino can become the strongest of its kind so far, he continued.

According to PAGASA, drought is a condition marked by three consecutive months of way belownormal rainfall -- over 60 percent reduction from average rainfall.

Drought can also be five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall marking a 21 percent to 60 percent reduction from average rainfall, it noted.

Earlier this year, PAGASA warned of drought in several provinces nationwide.

According to Lucero, the latest forecast indicate one to two tropical cyclones (TCs) can occur this November in the country despite El Nino.

He said PAGASA forecast between zero to one TC for each of December, January, February, March and April, however.

Each of May and June can have one to two TCs, he continued.

In its latest forecast, PAGASA cited Camarines Norte and Sarangani provinces as possibly experiencing drought this November’s end.

Camarines Norte and Antique provinces will likely be under drought by December’s end, PAGASA continued.

Forecasting occurrence of way below-normal rainfall, PAGASA expects afterwards an increase in number of provinces possibly experiencing drought .

Possible drought-stricken provinces by January’s end are Benguet, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Laguna, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon and Camarines

Norte all in Luzon as well as Aklan, Antique and Guimaras in the Visayas.

By February’s end, provinces likely under drought are Luzon’s Abra, Benguet, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, Laguna, Rizal, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, Palawan and Camarines Norte; the Visayas’ Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras,Iloilo, Negros

Occidental and Negros Oriental as well as Mindanao’s Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Sulu and Tawi-tawi.

Expected to be under drought by March’s end are Luzon-based Abra, Bemguet, ifugao, Kalinga, Apayao, Mountain Province, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Bataan,Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, Aurora, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon,

Palawan and Albay provinces; the Visayas’ Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Bohol, Negros Oriental, Siquijor, Eastern Samar, Northern Samar and Samar provinces as well asMindanao’s Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Davao del Sur, Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Sulu and Tawitawi provinces.

PAGASA added dr y spell can be two consecutive months of way belownormal rainfall.

Education and politics

Education is the most important factor in any country. It is the dynamo of human beings to evolve their condition for better lives. But, politics is also like the generator of a machine which can drive any movement in a country to achieve the goal. In reality, education and politics are interrelated. Due to the essence of these two entities, we tend to see something blurring between education and politics. There is no clear demarcation.

These two blurring entities make any decision counterproductive. The position in education agencies or departments in a country tends to be filled with the politicians who have devoted their time and energy in political movement. When their parties happen to be the winner in political arena, they are inevitably selected to be in the cabinets, including the positions concerning

Dr. Djuwari

educational affairs.

There is a dilemma when looking at any policies related to educational consideration (e.g., pedagogical consideration) and political interest. In such a condition, it is probable that the decisions which need educational consideration tend to be based solely on political consideration. In this condition, the pedagogical aspects tend to be ignored. Eventually, the system of national education is contaminated by the

non-pedagogically-based consideration.

To make decisions related to the national education system requires pedagogical consideration. For example, when the system is related to curriculum and evaluation, all the consideration should be based on pedagogical aspects. By doing so, the curriculum and evaluation will be implemented properly.

Another example, when increasing the budget of education sector, it should be done any time. It should also be done when the time of curriculum and evaluation system requires changing in a certain time. It should not be done when approaching the political event such as the presidential election in the national level. It should not always be done when approaching the political event such as when approaching the election of regional See POLITICS, page A11

standards without giving any further explanation “even in very obvious cases,” according to Maas. Since most of us are in Facebook, I am sure, everybody got such messages after reporting something.

Maas also says this standard response had become a “farce” and that users were struggling to understand why Facebook is quick to ban nudity, for example, referring to its community standards, but often fails to ban xenophobic and racist posts.

The implementation of its community standards, Maas says in his letter, “can apparently not be relied on, even though many posts contain comments that constitute the criminal offense of incitement to hatred.” He reminds Facebook that it is legally obliged to delete illegal posts.

Maas emphasizes that his

demands do not go against freedom of speech. “But the Internet is not a lawless space where racist abuse and illegal posts can be allowed to flourish.” He stressed that there can be no “misunderstood tolerance,” and that Facebook urgently needed to enforce its existing rules and assess whether further measures are needed.

In recent months, Germany has seen tens of thousands of refugees and migrants arrive at its borders, with many communities struggling to provide adequate care and shelter. There have been persistent protests and attacks from far-right groups, often coordinated on sites such as Facebook.

The attacks drew widespread criticism from politicians, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel calling the incidents “despicable and shameful.”

And here we are: in response to a Maas’ letter, a spokeswoman for Facebook said they were taking the justice minister’s position seriously, but did not confirm that they would meet with him. I am speechless.

The attack in Paris

THE attacks in Paris, France that claimed the lives of 153 innocent civilians to-date should serve as a warning or lesson for the Filipinos. Enemies of peace are around the world and some of them are disguised as saints. You will know them only when they strike and nobody knows for whom the bells toll. They lurk in dark corners, ride on public conveyance, airplanes, ships, etc. It is very difficult to identify them because they are persons like us and stand upright unlike tigers in the jungle.

Terrorists love to inflict injuries and deaths to people walking in the streets, to bystanders in parks, to shoppers, to diners in restaurants, even inside churches during holy services and everywhere. To them, more people in agony and hovering between life and death - - the better. They are the heartless breed who know no God, no human beings, just nothing to satisfy their lusts. In simple terms, they are dangers in modern civilization not worthy to live with us. Their behavior is inhuman, unknown to society and certainly uncivilized creatures.

Henceforth, I urge everyone to be extra careful specially during the Christmas holidays when we flock to big malls and go shopping. Avoid large crowds and big groups of people that will attract the attention of terrorists. They love to kill and laugh at their victims. Devils are like that no more no less. Avoid staying long hours and alone or in groups in dark places, in parking lots and unlighted streets. Devils strike when least expected and when nobody thinks they would commit a horrible crime.

When you notice some s u s pi c i ou s c h a r a c t e r s around, do not hesitate to call the police before serious incidents could See attack, page A11

When someone treats us badly or takes what is rightfully ours, we want revenge.

Often times we secretly hope bad things come their way. But is that really how we should react?

When we take charge and take revenge it’s because we believe we can do

a better job than God. Take heart in knowing God, the supreme judge, who reigns in Heaven also reigns on Earth.

Surigao mayor mulls banning use of motorbike helmets

By Roel N. Catoto of MindaNews

SURIGAO City -- City Mayor Ernesto T. Matugas on We dnes day said he will ask the city council to ban the use of helmets by motorcycle riders as a deterrent against robbery and other crimes.

The mayor said he was alarmed by robberies victimizing various businesses in broad daylight, the latest of which was the

robbery last Monday at United Coconut Planters Bank where the robbers wore motorcycle helmets.

The robbers carried out the robbery in less than a minute and took at least 4.4 million in cash.

In previous robbery cases in the city caught on closed circuit television, the robbers also used motorcycle helmets to hide their faces.

But City Councilor Jose V. Begil Jr., chair of

Any person adversely affected by said petition may file his/her written opposition with this Office not later than November 25, 2015.

the committee on transportation, said he doesn’t favor Matugas’ proposal.

He said it will violate Republic Act 10054, the law requiring motorcycle riders to wear standard protective helmets, and finds it a shallow solution to address crimes.

B egil said banning helmets is not a decisive solution to robberies and other crimes in the city.

He proposed instead to expand police presence in

the barangays and make use of “multiplier forces“.

But Begil said he might consider the proposal if the city would ban the use of full-face cover type of helmets.

“The short or halfhelmets are okay but again this is not a best solution to robberies and other crimes,” he said.

Like in C ebu City, motorcycle riders are not allowed to use full-face helmets. Only short or

half helmets are allowed.

Motorcycles riders in town were divided on this call.

“I’m in favor of the ban on the use of motorcycle helmets in the city because of criminals using this thing,” Rod Salcedo, who has been driving for 40 years, said.

For young rider Dave Cordova, he has a dissenting opinion of the mayor’s plan.

because it’s not safe driving without helmet. I dare the mayor to drive himself a motorbike without wearing a helmet and I don’t think he would do it daily. I haven’t seen him driving a motorbike, so I can’t imagine,” said Dave Cordova.

Some cities like Dagupan and Cotabato have banned the use of motorbike helmets supposedly to lessen crimes. (Roel N. Catoto/MindaNews)

Philippines-Germany renews climate change partnership THE Philippines and Germany have renewed their respective commitments toward a climate resilient Philippines with the project “Support to the Philippines in Shaping and Implementing the International Climate Regime” (SupportCCC II).”

The project was launched by the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and the German Federal Enterprise for International Cooperation (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH) or GIZ November 13, 2015 at the Novotel Hotels and Resorts, Cubao, Quezon City.

The Philippine government has continued to pursue its initiatives for climate resiliency and sustainable development. Since the passing of the Climate Change Act of 2009 and the development of the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2011-2028, the country continues to be proactive in fulfilling the mandates of the law and in implementing the NCCAP. “The project links to, and contributes to the accomplishment of the 7 thematic priorities of the NCCAP, and the German

government has shown its support to the achievement of this and allocated EUR 4.7 million for SupportCCC II. In addition, Germany has allocated EUR 17.1 million for new climate change projects in the country starting in 2016,” CCC Assistant Secretary Joyceline Goco said.

“Indeed, the German Government has been a long-time partner in our country’s sustainable development pursuits,” noted CCC Commissioner Emmanuel De Guzman “And we expressed our appreciation for the continuous support and cooperation as exemplified by the five new projects that ought to strengthen our country’s climate risk governance.” “ The growing prevalence of climate and disaster risks throughout the countr y is a problem that the PhilippineGerman cooperation on climate change could address effectively as we endeavor to preserve our development gains and pursue sustainable development,” he added.

In the international arena, the Philippines has maintained a strong representation as it as-

sumed presidency of the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), which hosted and concluded its Sherpa Senior Officers Meeting last November 9–11, 2015 in Manila.

The CVF is also supported by Germany’s International Climate Initiative through the SupportCCC II Project. The country has also responded to the global call for climate mitigation with its submission of intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) in 2015. Among its initiatives is the promotion of increased access to renewable energy as a means to mitigation efforts of the country.

“Germany stands firm with the Philippines with its commitment to support an ambitious climate agreement that will include global action on mitigation and adaptation to climate change and avoiding climate induced disasters,” said H.E. Thomas Ossowski, German Ambassador to the Philippines, during the launching of the Project, stressing that the Philippines is a focal country for Germany’s bilateral cooperation on climate change.

It is against this backdrop that the SupportCCC II Proj-

A sea plant nurturing the growth of another plant, is it possible?

Yes, indeed. Scientists from the National Crop Protection Center at the University of the Philippines Los Banos conducted a thorough research on the ordinary seaweed or carrageenan and employed innovative technology and the result was simply amazing --boosting rice yield by more than 65%.

This project by our own Filipino scientists was funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) of the Department of Science

and Technology (DOST).

“The DOST invests in research and development in agriculture that leads to ensuring food security.

Not only do we find ways and means to increase farm yields and make crops pestresistant but we also use science and technology to benefit the common ‘tao’, to put food on the table of Mang Juan and Aling Maria,” said DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo.

many uses, seaweed is commonly used as thickener or stabilizer by the food industry and also used as a binding agent for domestic products such as toothpaste and shampoo and are found in selectedpharmaceutical products.

Some studies showed that when polysaccharide or carbohydrate is degraded or reduced to tiny sizes by a safe technology process called irradiation, it can be an effective growth promoter and makes rice resistant to major pests. In fact, at very small doses, it is an effective organic

The new partnership between the Philippines and Germany involves a wider range of partners, including the Department of Energy, Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board, National Economic and Development Authority, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Finance, and other partners from the academe, civil society organizations, media, and government units at the national and local levels.

SupportCCC II will continue to facilitate the coordination of key agencies toward the effective implementation of the NCCAP and ensure the complementation of efforts of the Philippine government on climate change initiatives and its alignment with existing development goals and plans.

on creating an enabling environment and programmatic approach to involving the private sector in climate action and investments.

With the recent developments in the Peoples Survival Fund (PSF), SupportCCC II will explore channels where the private and financial sectors can contribute to the success of the PSF and other financing facilities, both locally and internationally.

In recognizing the active participation of the Philippines in the international climate discourse, the project aims to significantly contribute in this platform. With the Philippines having identified as one of Germany’s focal partners in climate change, SupportCCC II will serve as the coordinating body for other climate change-related initiatives agreed under this cooperation on sustainable development.

The SupportCCC II Project is part of the International Climate Initiative. The German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag.

your goodness once you are not selective in doing it. Anyway, not all people like this attitude. The reason as far as I am concerned to this is because the boundary between you and that person is broken already. How many times that you never respect a certain individual? Take note, they are still human beings who are prone to sins and temptations. You need to pray for them instead condemning them. On the other hand, the Pharisees looked at the

origin and disposition of Jesus instead the good things Jesus did in public. The truth is; we are easily recognized the low aspects, weakness rather than the strengths and achievements of a certain person. We must value his good contributions to our lives. We must be grateful in his good doings toward us.

Remember, good doings are easily forgotten but the bad doings are hard to forget. Look at the positive side of everyone

rather than his weaknesses in life. See anyone the way God sees each one of them. Have God’s perspective in looking anyone. Have God’s views in treating anyone. Have God’s understanding in relating to anyone.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL KICK OFF….A MUST!

By Araceli B. Melliza Lumbia National High School

R.A. 10533, other known as, “An Act Enhancing the Philippine Basic Education System by Strengthening its Curriculum an Increasing the Number of Years for Basic Education”, actually deals on the implementation of the K to 12 to upgrade Philippine education; thus, making kindergarten compulsory and another two years in the former basic education which was six years in the elementary education and four years of secondary education, This envisions the students to be provided ample time to acquire knowledge and skills. This scenario of the Department of Educationbrings about diverse reactions and various issues and controversies.

Indeed, this endeavour of DepED puts itself in a

dilemma and great apprehensions. However, this endeavour must be fully supported, be reinforced and strengthened.

This act is believed to assure development and progress of the learner, the community, the stakeholders, and the country – Philippines. Undoubtedly, the Department of Education, with its learners – the promising youth, is the basic bloodline for the country to succeed.

Considering the curriculum package and the increasing number of years for basic education, the K – 12 showcases the three possible exits of every learner after the Grade 12: Entrepreneurial, Employment, and higher Education.

Each child/ student is hoped to be equipped with the necessary weapons in the real battle of life when they reach the maturity or independent stage where they are expected to lead their respective lives.

They are desired to also build the community and the nation to be globally competitive.

It is undeniable that this act is actually a better way to truly prepare our students for their future endeavour. This act intends to implement a program in our education that is rooted on the sound education principles and geared towards excellence, it is in some way designed to equip our students to compete and work globally.

Moreover, it develops productive and responsible citizens equipped with the essential competencies, skills, and values for both life-long learning and employment. Thus, through this program, the government can fine-tune to reduce the current mismatch between skills and job requirements in many industries both local and national.

With the advent of the implementation of the first year

of Senior High School (Grade 11) controversies and issues spring out. Controversies such as: lack of funds, classrooms, facilities and even learners materials are one of the evidences that our country is not yet ready. But then, DepEd remains relentless in order to win their main goal, which is to enhance the learners’knowledge and skills and mold them to become globally competitive graduates.

Lets’ give the Act (RA 10533) a chance to stand victorious and justify its vision and mission. The 2016 pilot batch of the Senior High is now ready to launch; and may it be the right time. It is hoped that everyone in the system will work hand-in-hand to bring out the best of us for the glory and progress of our nation – the Philippines.

seaweed additive is that it is compatible with the traditional practice on fertilizer application, thereby allowing easy acceptance and less resistance from farmers. It also promotes sustainable agriculture since it is environment-friendly and enhances the presence of natural enemies that fight major pests in rice fields.

Lastly, it promotes more efficient absorption of plant nutrients that enables improved growth.

In a field trial conducted in Bulacan by the research team using carrageenan, rice yield was significantly increased by 63.6 – 65.4%.

This treatment provided higher grain weight (of 450 grams and 455 grams, respectively) compared to traditional farmers’ practice of applying nine (9) bags of fertilizer per hectare that yielded only 275 grams.

Application of six bags of fertilizer per hectareplus 200 ppm (or 20 milliliters) of carrageenan is more or less comparable with the application of justthree bags of fertilizer per hectare with the same mixture.

“This innovation of applying seaweed as fertilizer empowers our farmers to have access to cheaper but highly effective plant growth enhancers that boils down to improved harvest and increased income, and this is the essence of what DOST is doing” concluded Montejo.

leadership candidacy.

Education is the key factor of any profession, including politician profession. In this perspective, making any decision in education sector should be purely based on pedagogical aspects rather than on political aspects. We can eyewitness everywhere and any time that teachers are the key factors even the first of the first in terms of professions.

Teachers are the source of change. Even all politicians exist because of teachers. The fact is true that all of professions in the worlds tend to be derived from the teachers. There will be not president without teachers.

There will be no ministers without teachers. And, there will be no politicians and whatever profession in the world without teachers.

The reason is that almost all the professions in the world are due to the teachers’ profession. All the presidents in the world were also educated by their teachers when they were still in the schools. All of the existing ministers in any country were also educated by their teachers. Not to mention all of the politicians who are now busy with the political endeavors were also educated by their teachers when they were in their schools.

Based on the evidence above, teachers are the source of all professions.

Thus, no profession can be created today if there was no teacher when they were still in their school age. Education is number one in any situation and condition. All of us, with any profession, must be very much indebted to our teachers. Without teachers, we will not be like what our professions are now.

This is important for politicians in any country.

They should be aware of the importance of education. So, politicians in their decision making with any policy being made should be focused more on education program. This program should be pedagogically oriented rather than politically oriented.

take place. Nobody could watch for our safety but us alone. Let us pray always for safety and for the Almighty God to protect us every moment of our lives.

Let these terrorists be the common enemies for all of us and defy their ambition to rule the world. We must challenge their ambition to put us in their commands to assert their ambitions and disturb tranquility in every space of this planet.

The bad will never defeat the good, so goes an old dictum. But it needs cooperation, diligence, prudence and sincere actions to survive treacheries and deceit employed by the enemies of society. Let us all be aware, watchful and observant of the movements of things around us. Let us not allow strangers to lord it out in our peaceful homes for safety and happiness. The incident in Paris should remind us all that in this modern world, are people who earn to kill. We do not have to shed tears if we are ready to fight the atrocities of the people masked in death. By being vigilant, we unwittingly discourage the curses of these evils and stop them of their desire to adorn our world with explosions, gunfire, confusions and destruction.

What is the matter with Butuan Mayor Amante?

FOR the first time since Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. took over the reins of the Butuan City government in 2010, local media practitioners were required to submit on paper their questions during a press conference after the November 5, 2015 program where he announced the Island of Good Governance (IGG) award conferred on the city.

Caught off guard, most of the journalists were displeased because queries not about the IGG were rejected.

They thought the media

conference deviated from the openness of Amante’s press engagements they were used to.

For restricting the subject matter to his supposed achievement, Amante made the activity a “praise conference” and a dull, tiring exercise. Even Malacañang media conferences allot time for other matters.

An enterprising lady reporter managed to slip past the mayor’s public information evaluators a question on illegal drugs proliferation in the city.

Insisting that the issue in-

volved good governance despite attempts to stop her, the journalist forced Amante to reply that illegal drugs “is difficult to solve being a global problem” and that the local police was doing its best to control illegal drugs trafficking.

For relying on the police to confront a serious concern like illegal drugs, Amante appeared not exerting efforts to face the issue Pat Samonte head-on. Butuanons want their city chief executive to nonsense campaign against do more than issue shallow illegal drugs.

What is the matter with assurances. He should be at the forefront of a no- Mayor Amante?

Maximum temperature there in March can reach 39.6°C, 30.3°C, 35.6°C, 39.6°C, 35.6°C and 37.0°C, respectively, noted PAGASA. The areas’ corresponding maximum temperatures in April can rise to 39.6°C, 28.8°C, 38.0°C, 38.8°C, 36.2°C and 38.0°C, PAGASA also said.

“In Luzon’s lowlands, maximum temperature in May can range from 30.6°C to as high as 41.5°C,” warned Lucero.

PAGASA forecast maximum temperature that month to reach 28.7°C in Luzon’s mountainous areas, 38.3°C in the Visayan lowlands as well as 39.5°C and 36.0°C in lowlands and mountainous locations of Mindanao, respectively, Metro Manila can experience in May maximum temperature of up to 38.6°C, PAGASA noted.

As a precaution against heat-related ailments, authorities continue urging people to stay indoors during hot days.

Taking baths frequently is also a way to cool off, they said.

They likewise recommend increasingly drinking water and conducting outdoor work or exercise in the morning when it’s cooler.

for the preliminary injunction, pending the decision of the case on the merits.

Thus, to be entitled to the writ, petitioners are only required to show that they have an ostensible right to the final relief prayed for in their complaint.”

In truth the 4-page CA resolution issued on Nov. 13, 2015 that grants only a simple TRO to Moreno.

There was no such thing as “status quo-ante,” which the Moreno camp tried to spread. The TRO did not also ordered newly installed City Mayor Caesar Ian Acenas to vacate the post, but the court advised both parties to maintain a “status quo” (prevailing conditions at the time the TRO was granted).

By the way, the TRO is issued in the event where immediate action is needed based on the assertion of a person whose interests are “about” to be harmed.

Please take note of the word “about,” an adverb of time, which means the action (whatever it is) would certainly take place, but that the specified time, place, and the condition remains to be ascertained.

It is the “unknown” action that would take place with certainty with a manifest harm that would prejudice the safety or the rights of the aggrieved person that the court wants to preempt and protect through the issuance of the TRO. In the case of Moreno, the 22nd Court of Appeals Division has given the respondents (Ombudsman and the DILG) to comment (not to dismiss) on the petition within 10 days upon receipt of notice of the TRO. The CA did not grant a “status quo ante” on Moreno’s petition, but a mere TRO directed at the Ombudsman to “first take action” on Moreno’s MR prior to the execution of the “dismissal order” with finality.

Unfortunately, the DILG has already served the Ombudsman order to dismiss Moreno and the City Treasurer a day after the CA issued a TRO. On Nov. 12 2015 at about 7:00 p.m., the DILG installed Vice Mayor Caesar Ian Acenas as the new City Mayor, the action made the DILG

Above-normal air temperature is among El Nino’s impacts on Philippine climate, noted PAGASA. PAGASA said the strong El Nino at present can last until mid-2016 and further intensify to a record level.

Experts continue cautioning about exposure to high temperature, noting this can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular problems.

According to PAGASA, average readings of its weather stations nationwide - except the one in Baguio City - show the Philippines’ mean annual temperature is 26.6°C. Such temperature approximates the level at which people feel comfortable, PAGASA weather forecaster Gladys Escullar said earlier.

PAGASA also said the Philippines’ warmest month is May when mean temperature is about 28.3°C. Latest available PAGASA data show maximum temperature in the country until May 2016 can exceed such values, however.

The data show Mindanao’s lowlands as likely experiencing the country’s highest expected temperatures for November and December this year at 36.8°C and 38.1°C, respectively, and for January 2016 at 36.8°C. PAGASA forecast maximum temperature to further rise afterwards, posing an additional challenge to the 2016 election campaign that’s likely to encounter scorching heat then.

In its Resolution 9981 promulgated in August 2015, Commission on Elections (Comelec) set Feb. 9 to May 7 next year as campaign period for candidates seeking election as president, vice-president, senators and party list representatives.

Comelec also designated March 25 to May 7 next year as campaign period for candidates eyeing election to the House of Representatives as well as to regional, provincial, city and municipal posts.

For February 2016, PAGASA forecast generally above-mean maximum tem-

Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno, the CA reportedly granted the latter’s petition for a writ of preliminary injunction or “status quo ante.” The resolution of the CA to grant Moreno the “status quo ante” was to protect the rights of Moreno as part of the process of the law.

installation legally binding after the City Prosecutor has sworn Acenas as the duly recognized city mayor following the dismissal of Moreno from service.

Thus, the CA’s TRO in the instant petition of Moreno becomes moot and academic. Another question of law also cropped up here, did the petitioner (Moreno) tell the CA that the dismissal order of the Ombudsman has already been served?

If Moreno did not tell the CA about the execution of the Ombudsman order by the DILG, then, Moreno might face other charges here. The lawyers know better about this.

Anyway, the excitement at the City Hall continues.

With two legitimate Mayors, a lawyer ridiculously defined “status quo-ante” as “walay sueldo si Auntie ug Uncle karon November ug December kay ang bangko dili mo honor sa ilang mga pirma tungod sa ilang mga memoranda.” (Aunt and Uncle (in reference to city hall employees) will have no salary and bonuses in November and December because the banks would acknowledge both signatures of the incumbent City Mayors). -0- crisguardian@ yahoo.com

The Catholic Church through the Caritas confederation has already reached out to 1.8 million people affected by Yolanda, and managed a total of Php 3.2 billion over the last two years.

But despite the rehabilitation efforts, Gariguez said that “climate change and its ensuing extreme weather conditions are still hurting the most at risk population.”

Aside from the onslaught of disasters, he said that climate change also damaged agriculture and threatened food security of poor communities.

“The mandate from the Church is clear and unequivocal, and this can also apply to other faith-based organizations – that we need to carry out our mission to care for the earth, as part of our faith response.”

In a recent encyclical of Pope Francis, Laudato Si, highlighted the adverse impacts of climate change on the poor and most vulnerable, and the scale of the climate crisis. (PNA)

Pantawid women association serves their way to success CAGAYAN de Oro City -With the city’s fast growing economy particularly in the food industry, a Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid Pamilya) women association was inspired to come together and set up their very own food business.

Geared with the necessary skills and attitude, the Sr. Nazareno 4Ps Association, actively participated in all program activities of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP).

In 2014, the group which is composed of 26 women joined the Basic Microenterprise Management Training and Entrepreneurship, wherein participants are given basic management training, financial management and processes to achieve their entrepreneurial goals. The program provided them with the necessary capital fund to realize their business goals.

The women’s eatery serves basic “lutong-bahay” (homemade) foods, desserts and even expand their venture to rice retailing. The business is inevitably growing since then and they are now planning to build another branch within the city.

According to Jocel Cabanay, the association’s president, the secret to their success is cooperation and trust. “Our business’ success is a shared effort among all of us, we make sure that we maintain transparency and remain responsible to our duties as members of the group,” she emphasized.

Cabanay also added, “Nalipay gyud kami tungod kay kani among negosyo dagko gyud ang natabang sa among mga pamilya ug panghinanglanon (We are very happy because this business has really helped our family as well as our needs),” she said.

After more than a year of operation, the women’s eatery has become known in their community. They have offered their services to DSWD several times, one of which was during the Secretary’s visit to the region where the group served their food to more than 300 people. To this date, the office calls for their services whenever there are events to be held within the city.

The group also accepts orders and catering services.

Interested clients may personally visit Sr. Nazareno 4P’s Delicious Eatery at Julio Pacana Street, Barangay 26, Licoan, Cagayan de Oro City.
