Davaoeños stand strong versus terrorism DAVAO City––Two months after the September 2 explosion that ripped through the Roxas night market, Davaoeños renewed their strong stance against terrorism as the Task Force Davao rolled out “No to terror” advocacy in Davao City. Davaoeños simultaneously wore an anti-terrorism pin that signifies their support to stand against terrorism.

Kent Jason Capute, 34, said he is fully supporting the anti terrorist campaign of the security forces because it is for the safety of the civilians like him. “I want the other people to see that we Davaoeños are standing against terrorism and it can never bring us down, through this we will be more vigilant to have a safer city,” said Capute, who was one of

those who wore a pin on antiterrorism signifying support to the campaign. Task Force Davao commander, Col. Erwin Bernard Neri, said wearing the anti-terror pin is a sign that the Davaoeños stand up and fight against terrorism. “After that incident on September 2, we emphasized that we have to raise the level of awareness and vigilance of

the people against terrorism,” Neri said. He said the pin shows the people of Davao can unite and go against terrorism. “Security forces can’t do this alone, so we need the help of the community,” he added. Neri also called on the business sector to replicate the pins and put it on their employees to show unity within the city.

Last month, the Task Force Davao conducted an anti-terrorism seminar to the barangay officials to let their constituents know of the things that they need to do. After the bombing that took 15 lives, the security forces implemented a strict security policy including on checkpoint operation. A report culled from the Philippine News Agency

Duterte faces delay due to right-of-way problems

DAVAO City––The Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) is facing delay even leading to nonpursuance of the projects due to road-right-of-way concerns in project sites in the provinces. “For Mindanao, there are some problems on road right of way as it is very

difficult for most local government units to secure it,” PRDP Deputy Project Director-Mindanao Cluster Araceli Morano said. PRDP is a six-year project designed to establish the government platform for a modern, climatesmart and market-oriented agri-fishery sector.

Under the program, PRDP will partner with the LGUs and the private sector in providing key infrastructure, facilities, technology, and information that will raise incomes, productivity, and competitiveness in the countryside. Mor ano s ai d PR DP

does not only mean roads but also vital infrastructure projects that will support the agriculture sector. This includes bridges, potable water systems, i r r i g at i o n , e nt e r p r i s e projects that involve infrastructure, solar dryer and warehouses among others. Eng r. Cir i lo Namo, PR DP D e put y Proj e c t Director-Visayas Cluster, said almost all clusters

are experiencing the same problem when it comes to the acquisition of roadright-of-way. “ The LGUs are also experiencing difficulty in getting environmental safety and clearances to be issued by partner agencies such as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources,” he said.

Viva-Excon 2016

I find delight in nurturing my artistic soul by participating in the Visayan Islands Visual Arts Exhibit-Conference 2016 (VIVA-EXCON 2016) recently held in Iloilo City on November 17 to 20. This could be unnecessary for a purely business professional; but a serious artist should enrich himself with the package of new experiences. Being both a business mentor and artist, I must avail the great additive to my career and am glad I was one of the seven delegates from Bohol in that much anticipated biennale. With a business background, I should be able to build my entrepreneurial vision related to art. And with exposures to the ecology and processes of art—which VIVA-EXCON proffers—I can improve my fine arts solo exhibits which are booked in Metro Manila and are to be launched a few months from now. This also gives me more exposure to the different artistic processes and practices that I can use for my trade fair participation. The 250 artists and cultural experts who participated in Iloilo City could have feasted during the country’s longest and largest art biennale that started in 1990. During the recent VIVA-EXCON, participants banqueted with the following conference topics, among which were: Ways to Sustain Art Practice, Museums and Art Practice, Art

Conservation, Making Art Economically Viable, Artists as Community Workers, Art Criticism and Writing, and Building an Art Professional Career. They could not find the wisdom of experts who shared these topics in the schools. The biennale also highlighted four major exhibits: Turns in Form, a curated exhibit of 12 selected Visayas artists representing the provinces; Garbo sa Bisaya to honor the awardees from different genres; a tribute exhibit of Tim Jumayao (1933-2011), an Ilonggo multi-media sculptor; and Art Fair mounted by all delegates from the Visayan provinces. Aside from these shows, there were exhibits at the Molo Mansion, Artdeck Gallery, Cinematheque Art Gallery, SM City, UPV Art Gallery, UPV grounds, and Museo Iloilo among others. Among those resource persons I remember during VIVA-EXCON 2016, I really appreciate Kublai Millan who shared about his community involvement though his commissioned peace monuments in Mindanao. He has had a number of monuments shown for the cause that counts in the milieu. His pursuit should inspire other participants to start building their communities through such messages conveyed by their art. Art should not just be a narcissist pursuit of one just building his or her name; it should be a cause

for something higher than ourselves. Local government units should begin to think of such cause to communicate issues that are important to them. When June Dalisay shared about art conservation during VIVA, I knew for the first time the need for such profession in the ecology of art in the country: so far, only 15 conservators restore the paintings and sculptures of iconic masters like Juan Luna. We need more to join their ranks either by formal schooling or via apprenticeship. Art must not be divorced from art criticism--a topic VIVA emphasized. Without a second look, without an intellectual analysis of artworks (I am not saying all art criticisms should be negative) art may not elevate itself from commercial products. Our country’s main art scene struggles because there are only few art critics—how much more of the provinces. Artists, however, can bootstrap by studying how to become art critics as some also try the role of curators. They can venture through self-study as I do. Through self-study, I have had published my art criticism articles in peerreviewed journals here and abroad. Formal schooling at art history colleges is not the only way. And what about how big events like VIVA-EXCON can materialize with only

Lucell Larawan

artists running such biennale? For those who do not know, artists can also be event organizers. The elders of the biennale from the Back Artists of Asia usually do not delegate the task of organizing such a biennal by hiring event organizers. Hosting is usually rotated among different provinces through bidding or consensual agreement. There are occasions when one province only starts to organize their art group in order to host the next VIVA a year after. But as the biennale matures, I have seen much progress: international speakers are invited, topics are more responsive, more foreigners come to join, and exhibits and performances are getting more exciting in each VIVA. As VIVA has shown through the years, Visayan artists are examples of unity and flexibility. Where they cannot acquiesce to politicians’ control in events that are meant for them and the development of culture and the arts, they show that their passions can combine business and art disciplines. And this they did with finesse.

the Maguindanao Massacre that had been set upon the media and Philippine democracy with such impunity as to defy all norms of human decency. But the same cry against impunity appears to be falling mostly on ears that would not deign to listen even as today, ironically, we also commemorate the fourth year of the International Day to End Impunity in the Philippines. Again, as we have written in 2012 for the same commemorative event, “The massacre was a beast that nearly eviscerated the community press in that part of Mindanao, demonstrating in horrific detail the vulnerability of journalists who live and work in the provinces and who have often been, and still are, put to task for, among other things, suborning the practice of journalism. They are often portrayed as easy prey for blandishments of many kinds or willing participants in rent-seeking and rent-giving. Or that they are paid hacks of politicians and are bereft of any ethical norm or standard. This may be partly true but realities on the ground present a different picture and context of the vulnerabilities faced by community journalists.” It is a graphic description of the kind of governance bereft of the rights-based principles of participation, accountability, non-discrimination, transparency, human dignity, empowerment, and rule of law that gave rise in the first place to such an insidious phenomenon. It is the same narrative that the government seems bent on foisting on all of us, that many of those who have been killed deserved what they got, a grim but sobering reminder that successive administrations have always demonstrated some sort of ambivalence towards journalists and media practice. These are but some of the ingredients that create a culture of impunity. Impunity flourishes when law enforcement is weak and the judicial process is excruciatingly slow with one study showing that on average it takes more than five

“. . . i m p u n i t y g a i n s e v e n more momentum when the body of an ousted dictator is buried among heroes...” years for an extrajudicial killing case to undergo the criminal process; impunity becomes even more manifest when the rule of law is swept under by the expedience of crime fighting; impunity gains even more momentum when the body of an ousted dictator is buried among heroes, in the process trampling history and the sacrifices of those who fought for the restoration of democracy; impunity becomes even more rampant and insidious when citizens refuse to speak out because they could not relate their daily lives to the function of journalism in democracy; and, impunity will continue to fester like a gangrenous ulcer if we in the media will let down our guard and vigilance against threats to our freedoms tempered nonetheless by adherence to the highest standards of journalism. It should be made clear therefore that when journalists are put at risk the very notion of democracy is put to graver peril. No amount of safety training can protect journalists when there is no clear understanding and appreciation of the role of the press to verify and make sense of what is happening around us. When we no longer are able to understand the events unfolding before us nor are able to take corresponding action, then we have allowed darkness to rule our lives with consequences so horrendous to contemplate. We march again today to ensure that that same darkness will not prevail. Red Batario Executive Director Center for Community Journalism and Development

Moving on By Jerry Dureza

N either Ro drigo R . Duterte nor Nur Misuari had any inkling when they first met in Davao City that they will meet again this time auspiciously in Malacanang Palace to talk about peace. Two decades ago the two can only talk in whispers about what troubles Mindanao. Despite the years and events that had elapsed their passion for justice and peace for Mindanao has not ebbed. Duterte is now President and Misuari, although visibly failing in health, is lucid and his words are as stinging and sharp as the sparkles in his eyes. We all know about Duterte’s unfettered commentaries about how Mindanao had been treated like vassals by its own government The same reason was what drove Misuari to abandon his professorial job in the University of the Philippines to wage an armed rebellion against the centrist government. Nur gave peace a chance but despite the guarantees that are ensconced in the constitution the government that promised justice and fair share of the nation’s wealth for Mindanao re-

True to form, the Aquino casualties and destruction Sulu away from the reach of media which he confessed had treated him so unfairly. He was not to be heard again until the so called Z amboanga siege. Not consulted by the peace negotiating panels on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, MNLF elements turned up in Zamboanga City to prove they are not a spent force and that they have as much stake on the issues that concerns the Bangsamoro. Led by Commander Ustadz Habier Malik, the MNLF wanted to plant their flag in front of the City Hall to put across that message. But the government refused to talk and engaged the rebels instead in an armed confrontation. Then Vice Pres, Jejomar Binay and Mayor Duterte attempted to talk to Misuari and there were indications that the MNLF troops will withdraw but both Binay and Duterte were advised by higher authorities not to stand in the way. The unexpected armed confrontation ensued leading to the loss of so many lives mostly civilians and MNLF elements. The government action was liken to that of

Tanghal university theater festival slated November 25-26 Contributed story by Stephen J. Pedroza

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The 10th Tanghal University Theater Festival will put the spotlight on plays about Mindanao conflicts and aspirations on November 25 and 26 to be hosted by Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan. The festival is composed of three main performances from XU’s The Xavier Stage, Mindanao State University Marawi’s Sining Kambayoka Ensemble, and La Salle University Ozamis’s Teatro Guindegan, and two fringe

presentations from Xavier’s Dulaang Atenista and Pasundayag Community Arts of Cagayan de Oro City. Through the support of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts’ National Committee on Dramatic Arts, the tenth installment of Tanghal forms part of the celebration of the Mindanao Week of Peace 2016. In this year’s Tanghal, Mindanao is given Earth (Yuta) as its theme, to which the host institution Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) appropriates Yuta to signify Mindanao as

the “Land of Promise and Peace” and curates plays about our ethnicity, hopes, and origins. The Moro question The Xavier Stage (TXS), a resident repertory theater company of Xavier University, will present a twin-bill of Dr. Art Casanova’s “Nang Lumuha ang mga Tala sa Gitna ng Lawa” and Romeo Narvaez’s “Dula Ta.” This amalgamated production is aptly titled “Singanin,” a Meranao term for “aspiration.” Singanin depicts the struggles of the Moro people who are victims of the Mindanao conflicts in the areas

of North Cotabato, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, and the Zamboanga Peninsula. Casanova’s part presents cunningly the intertwines of land grabbing, hunger and poverty, and the infamous clashes between the Ilaga and the Barracudas — who were para-militaries created by scheming politicians a year before the declaration of Martial Law in 1971. Meanwhile, Narvaez poignantly reflects the contemporary Mindanao conflict through the eyes of two children who witnessed the ravages of war at a young age. Singanin will be staged

under the artistic direction of Hobart Savior, who is also the director of XCCA. “Mindanao theater is alive!” Savior exclaimed. “Through this theater festival, we hope to highlight the issues at the peripheries and the historical injustices in Mindanao. It has been one of the missions of The Xavier Stage to showcase plays with social relevance and with peace as an aspiration.” Heaven or hell Teatro Guindegan of La Salle Ozamis is set to perform “Ang Tawo” for Tanghal. Directed by Felimon Blanco, the play follows

the death of “Tawo,” an allegorical figure of humanity. When Tawo has been called upon by Kamatayon (Death) to face his end, he approaches his friends and family, but no one wants to accompany him to the “Other Side.” With allusions of man’s seven deadly sins, Tawo considers bringing his wealth in the afterlife, but it wouldn’t save him either. His last resort is to approach Paghigugma (Love) whom he has forgotten for a long time. Paghigugma also invites Matandang Propesor and Batang Propesor, See THEATER, page A11

Stateless Indonesians granted PH citizenship GENERAL Santos City--Three hundred ninety-three residents here of Indonesian descent finally received official citizenship from their home country as part of the national government’s and Indonesia’s efforts to address their status as “stateless” persons. The Indonesian Consulate General in Davao City released letters of confirmation for the citizenship of the Indonesians, some of whom were born and had lived in the city and the neighboring areas for decades. Consul General Berlian Napitupulu led the ceremonial turnover of the confirmation letters in simple rites on Tuesday held at the oval plaza covered court here. Lawyer Ruben Fondevilla, assistant chief state counsel of the Department of Justice (DOJ), said the granting of citizenship was an offshoot of a joint initiative of the government and Indonesia to resolve the status of the so-called “Persons with Indonesian Descent” in Mindanao. He said both countries agreed through a series of engagements to provide citizenship to the concerned individuals in compliance with the United Nations conventions on statelessness. The official cited the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961

Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. He said the government pledged to accede to these in a ministerial meeting in Geneva, Switzerland in 2011, essentially adopting legal and jurisprudential principles on statelessness. The government and Indonesia, through the Consulate General in Davao City, listed a total of 8,745 PIDs settled in parts of Mindanao, specifically in Regions 11 and 12. Most of them were descendants of Indonesian fishermen who eventually settled in the area, married locals and started their own families. Some of the PIDs have reportedly lived in Mindanao for three generations. Both governments have so far settled the nationality or citizenship status of 2,975 individuals or about 34 percent. Of the 2,975 resolved cases, a total of 1,937 individuals were assessed as “clearly Indonesians,” 831 as “clearly Filipinos,” and 189 qualifying for dual citizenship. Fondevilla said the latest confirmation of the citizenship is part of the second phase of the joint initiative. He said it was based on initial assessments conducted by the government’s technical team, which is led by the DOJ. “We later forwarded their cases

for examination and confirmation of Indonesian nationality by the government of Indonesia,” he said. The official said the letters of confirmation will be released in the next few days to the concerned individuals by an Indonesian technical mission. He said the processing will continue until Friday for the other PIDs, who are estimated at more than 800. The team will proceed to Malapatan town in Sarangani ion Saturday to continue the processing of other PIDs, he said. Napitupulu described the resolution of the citizenship of the PIDs as a “remarkable and monumental achievement” for both countries. “It had been pending for a long, long time,” he said. Being neighbors, he said residents of both countries traveled around the area for centuries and “even before we had our independence.” He was referring to the long years of Dutch colonization of Indonesia that ended with the Japanese occupation during World War II and led to its proclamation as an independent nation in 1945. “We are glad that this age-old problem in now (addressed) step by step and significantly reduced,” he added.

has to be a principal participant in the process. Admittedly there will be quarters who will protest the inclusion of Misuari but precisely he has to be part of the deliberation because he was and still is a part of

the rebellion. Articulate and knowledgeable of the problems that beset Mindanao and the Bangsamoro people his inputs in the peace negotiation are vital. Chairman Nur had his faults when he was Governor of ARMM. But his successors are worse. It is also the grievous sin of the national government in not implementing fully what was agreed in the peace agreement during the term of Nur. “Autonomous” was in fact a misnomer for the central authority made chips of the so-called autonomy as political bargaining tools to get what they wanted, among these: delivery of “captive votes” and dictating on ARMM officials what priority projects to carry out. ARMM was a disaster. Speaking in the presidential podium Misuari has committed his unequivocal support for President Duterte quest for peace in Mindanao, his homeland. Peace, he said, is an ultimate gift to humanity. The indefatigable peacemaker Jesus Dureza has won an added partner. This is one significant stride as the Duterte government moves on in search for a stable, meaningful and lasting peace.

operations as their cover. “If not Operation Tokhang, the other reasons they gave are medical and dental mission or census,” Juanito said in an emailed statement in the vernacular sent to media. “Mopondo ang mga sundalo gikan tulo ka adlaw ngadto sa tulo ka semana ug sa ubang barangay mas dugay pa (The soldiers would stay from three days to three weeks and in other barangays they stayed longer),” he added. Juanito cited an incident last Nov. 16 in Claveria town, Misamis Oriental where Army soldiers allegedly misled a group of farmers protesting the demolition of their houses by fruit giant Del Monte Philippines. He cited too an incident last Oct. 21 where some 35 personnel of the PNP Special Action Force allegedly terrorized several villages near Barangay Bit-os, Butuan city. The NPA leader said the soldiers and policemen violated the unilateral ceasefire declared by President Rodrigo Duterte last August 21 because the villages they raided were part of their controlled areas. The Communist Party of the Philippines responded to Duterte’s move with its own declaration of a unilateral ceasefire. “If the government forces will not stop these intrusions, there is a big possibility that a shooting war will erupt between the troops and NPA cadres,” Juanito warned. In a statement last October 21, the CPP said the military’s perpetuation of

Thursday, November 24, 2016 Oplan Bayanihan “is an outright affront to, and tramples on, the spirit of the simultaneous ceasefires of the CPP and GRP. It completely disregards the order of GRP President Duterte to be friendly with the revolutionary forces and the revolutionary government.” Oplan Bayanihan is the counterinsurgency program started under the administration of former president Benigno S. Aquino III. The CPP statement said soldiers would go to civilian communities in the countryside in the guise of anti-drug operations and bringing services to the people. “Fully-armed soldiers enter the communities to taunt and instill fear on the people. They carry out psywar and intelligence operations. One by one, activists and their families are summoned. Local residents are compelled to join village meetings organized by soldiers for fear of being accused as NPA sympathizers,” it said. Last November 7, GRP peace panel chair Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the bilateral ceasefire would be signed “either by end of November or first week of December. But we are eyeing the last week of November since we need to address other concerns in the talks.” The aforementioned ceasefire document was scheduled to be signed on or before October 26 but the parties decided to postpone, a press release from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process on the same day said. “We have to postpone the signing. There are still several items that need to have a consensus, such as the monitoring mechanism, the parameters of hostile acts, the definition of buffer zones,” explained Bello.

Martinez said that the Marijuana, weighing 10 kilograms, reportedly came from the hinterlands of Cabanglasan, Bukidnon and was about to be delivered in Malaybalay City when intercepted by law enforcers in the village of Tagiptip. He said that the illegal “Shabu” (Methamphetamine Hydrochloride) was seized during a buy bust operation in the village of Kapatungan in Trento, Agusan del Sur. Martinez identified the suspect in the “Shabu” buy bust as Rodel Garrame Fojas, 35, of Trento, Agusan De Sur.

metaphorical figures of the Church, to join them in the journey. But what will it take for Tawo to be cleansed from his sins so he may enter the Paradise is what the audience has to find out. Under the rain of bullets Completing the three major offerings of the 10th Tanghal festival is Sining Kambayoka Ensemble’s critically-acclaimed “Sa Ilalum sa mga Nag-ulang Tingga” (Under the Rain of Bullets) directed by Pepito Sumayan of Mindanao Statue University Marawi. Sumayan, a Meranaw native, is an actor, writer and cultural worker based in Lanao del Sur. He is a homegrown talent of Sining Kambayoka and he first appeared in “Mga Kuwentong Maranaw” in 1993. “Under the Rain of Bullets” was written by seasoned playwrights Marili Fernandez-Ilagan and Sunnie Noel. Documentary-demonstration on Alibata Tanghal theater festival will also offer fringe performances. The Pasundayag Community Arts and Production (formerly known as Pasundayag Theater and Arts Collective) will present a documentary-demonstration performance. Pasundayag project director Denise Mordeno Aguilar will share her experiences as a scholar of the program, Professional Diploma in Intercultural Theater (Major in Acting), at the Intercultural Theatre Institute, Singapore. Her scholarship was made possible by the generosity of the NCCA and the Kuo Pao Kun Foundation. Part of Mordeno’s discussion is a documentary film on our Sinaunang Baybayin, the outcome of a series of activities from a workshop facilitated by Emil Yap, an expert on the ancient Filipino writing system, famously coined as “Alibata.” “Baibayin” or “baybayin” is a system of writing of our Filipino ancestors, which started from the root word “baybay” or “baibai,” meaning “spelling or tracing.” The Sinaunang Baybayin is not based on the Doctrina Christiana developed and widely disseminated by the colonizers; in fact, this is the “Alpabeto ni Bonifacio,” which the Katipuneros used in their secret covenant. Pasundayag is a community arts group in Mindanao whose theater apprentices are now the young blood not only in Mindanao theater, but also in the national stage, such as Mark Bautista and Johnny Macanas. Since its first production in 1998, Pasundayag has become a platform for multidisciplinary initiatives in culture and the arts in the region. The group also intends to open its own studio based in Cagayan de Oro City to conduct classes for those who are interested to learn about contemporary theater work. ‘No Prob, It’s Improv’ The 28-year-old Dulaang Atenista, the resident theater company of Ateneo de Cagayan, is set to perform its crowd favorite “No Prob, It’s Improv,” a live improvisational performance wherein actors create the plot, characters, dialogues, and scenes on the spot. Their show will run under the artistic direction of Ray Anthony Lao. “No Prob, It’s Improv,” was formed after a few DA members were exposed to “Whose Line is it Anyway?” re-runs and shows of the Bacolod Improv Group back in 2010. Later on, they were able to use Peque Gallaga’s modified Viola Spolin workshops which were beneficial to the group and to their live skits. Dulaang Atenista has cemented itself as a major force in Cagayan de Oro City’s improvisation theater scene. All shows of the 10th Tanghal University Theater Festival are open to the public for free. Performances will be held at the XU Little Theater.
