twits ‘Oca’s’ Police probe entry of Darimbang failure to convene TMB ‘robbery bands’ in CDO

By Cris Diaz, Executive Editor

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The local police has ordered an investigation into reports that criminal syndicates had already penetrated the premier capital of Cagayan de Oro City in Northern Mindanao.

The police intelligence bureau identified the criminal syndicates as the “Balane Robbery Group” and the “Alferez Robbery Group,” Cagayan de Oro City Police Chief Supt.Graciano Mijares said on Thursday.

“We are validating the information as we investigate on the report,” Mijares said.

The allegation cropped up following the arrest of two suspects in the robbery of an ice plant in Barangay Puerto on the east coast of Cagayan de Oro City last

Wednesday.

Police arrested the two suspects identified as Dante Mesias and Dominador Mangubat during a raid of their hideout in El Salvador, 20 kilometers west of Cagayan de Oro City on Thursday.

Inspector Ariel Pontillas of the El Salvador police said the court has convicted Mesias of three counts of robbery while Mangubat was facing a series of robbery and illegal drug trade cases.

Pontillas said that the raiding team recovered P 3,000, part of the P 17,000 loot that the suspects carted away from the ice plant that they robbed in Bugo.

A check of the suspects’ profile showed that Mesias is from Pasay City and Mangubat hails from El Salvador. The two were

known to be members of the “Balane Robbery Gang” responsible for a series of bank robberies in Luzon.

Mijares said that the alleged team leader identified as Exequiel Aniscal was able to elude arrest during the raid and is now an object of a manhunt.

Police records showed that the court also convicted Aniscal in a series of holdup and armed robberies in Northern Mindanao.

The police has arrested Aniscal in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental some time ago where he was convicted with illegal possession of firearms.

Aniscal was serving a prison term when transferred to Bohol for possible cases there but bolted from prison and came back to Misamis Oriental, Mijares See police, page 7

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – City Councilor Candy Darimbang has criticized City Mayor Oscar “Oca” Moreno’s failure to convene the local Traffic Management Bureau (TMB) resulting to the growing traffic disorder here.

Darimbang questioned Moreno’s inaction in spite of the City Council’s passage of the Resolution No. 11486 – 2013 on October 2013 allowing the City Mayor to immediately convene and appoint members of the local TMB. Until today, Mayor Moreno has not acted on the resolution while the people of Cagayan de Oro continue to suffer the menace of the traffic mess, Darimbang added.

She said that the resolution states that the traffic problems and issues in the city should be resolved in a rational manner, be guided by facts, and should be

shaped through consultation.

The TMB serves as the advisory body to the city mayor relative to the formulation of traffic plans and programs for the city,” Darimbang said.

She said that the traffic plans and programs should be submitted for approval by the City Council as mandated under Ordinance No. 10551-2007.

Darimbang said that the traffic problems that the See darimbang, page 7

If the patient is covered with Philhealth insurance, the patients incur no costs in the operations.(CIO)

Tourists turn volunteers in typhoon-hit Bantayan Island SURIGAO CITY -- They came to visit different tourist spots in the country, but typhoon Yolanda changed their plans.

Two French Nationals interviewed by MindaNews said they have opted instead to do volunteer work for the typhoon survivors, and even shelled out some cash to buy relief goods the day after Yolanda ravaged the Visayas.

Martial Guilhou and his girlfriend Amaya Neuhaus arrived in Cebu from Paris, France a day before Yolanda battered islands in central Philippines and left thousands dead and several thousands more homeless.

Friends advised them to stay put because of the typhoon.

“Our plan for our first day is to go to Siquijor, but because of the storm signal, we stayed in Cebu,” Guilhou, a businessman, said.

After Yolanda, Guilhou and Neuhaus, a psychologist, learned that Tacloban City was badly damaged.

But he was told him another island in Cebu -Bantayan – was also badly hit, and it was there that Guilhou and his friends went after buying some relief goods in Cebu.

Amaya and friends became busy that day buying and repacking goods for the victims. They used a friend’s cars and went to the island via ferry.

“We saw a lot of ruined houses damaged by the typhoon,” Guilhou told MindaNews.

He showed photos and videos during their quick trip to Bantayan.

He said he was amazed at how “resilient the people are,” adding the people in the area could still manage to smile and laugh despite See tourists, page 7

GenSan gives P3.5 million cash for ‘Yolanda’ victims GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- The city government will deliver tomorrow (Saturday) P3.5 million in financial assistance to the local governments of Ormoc and Tacloban cities to assist the ongoing relief operations for survivors of super typhoon “Yolanda” in the area.

Lawyer Arnel Zapatos, city administrator, said Friday City Mayor Ronnel Rivera will leave for Eastern Visayas to personally hand over the financial assistance to the distressed local government units.

He said the local government opted to instead deliver cash assistance to the affected areas instead of sending relief packs due to time constraints.

“Procuring and repack-

ing 10,000 family food packs from the P3.5M would entail huge time, hence the decision to donate the said amount in the form of cash for Ormoc and Leyte given the urgency of the situation” Zapatos said in a statement.

He said the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) convened for an emergency meeting Friday morning to finalize the matter.

The CDRRMC, which is headed by the city mayor, is composed of city elected officials and department heads, barangay officials, representatives of national government agencies and accredited non-government organizations.

Biblical reflection Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Death Fresh Gospel of the day: Luke21:2933(November29, 2013-Friday) Luke 21:29-33And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. This gospel is referred to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Fig tree has no leaves and fruits during winter but only during summer time. Winter in biblical essence means the death of Jesus and His crucifixion on the Cross. This was the darkest moment in History.

On the other side, summer means the glorious resurrection of Jesus from the tomb. In John20:1 John 20:1-2-The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. The fig tree bears fruits and leaves during summer and this is paralleled to the resurrection of Jesus that bears salvation to all mankind. These two climates in the foreign countries are reflection of our lives that we experienced winter and summer of our lives. When? There are times that we are fruitless during the painful winter times of our lives. There are also times that we are happy and productive during the summer moments of our lives. At this time, what is your experience?

What’s Your Type?

Think a minute…

It’s been said there are two types of people in the world: Those who come into a room and say, ‘Here I am!,’ and those who come in and say, ‘Ah, there you are!’ Two very different approaches. One says, “Look at me! I want attention!” The other says, “Tell me about yourself.”

One attitude says, “I’m the important one.” The other says, “You’re the important one.”

You know, if you want to be the happiest you can be. If you want to live a rich, successful, satisfying life—then live to give and serve others. Dr. Albert Schweitzer said that how happy we are depends on how much we live for oth-

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst ers. In fact, the one word that is the secret to success and the highest level of living is the word “others.”

But if we’d rather have a small, empty, boring life, then we can think only about ourselves and what we need and want.

The problem with this self-centered kind of living is that even though we get and keep everything for ourselves, we’re never

completely satisfied or happy; so we don’t make others happy either. Even God Himself said that He did not come into the world to be served, but to serve others—even to the point of giving His own life for our wrongs, since He Himself had no wrongs to die for. Jesus Christ was constantly helping, healing, comforting, counseling, and forgiving others. He

lived, died, and came back to life all for others. And even now, He is constantly praying for others, which includes you and me.

Jesus Christ became a human being to show us how to be happy and live successfully by living for others. He explained that it’s only when we give and share our life with others that we ourselves can finally be happy and satisfied. So this Christmas, why don’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for all your wrongs and living for yourself. Then ask Him to help you start living His right, successful way: to serve, help, and give to others.

You‘ll be the happiest one for it.

A plunder case worth millions of pesos has been filed long time ago against Senators Johnny Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Bong Revilla and thirty five others but these people are still roaming around the country, sometimes even abroad, while many poor citizens who robbed small matters are thrown to jail outright. Why is this?

About the worst scenario is on the surface in form of the second plunder case against these top public officials. I am apprehensive more plunder cases will be on the line and arrest would perhaps be even more impossible.

I like politicians facing plunder cases because this is non-bailable and they have to stay in jail while their cases are being fought in court. This is the case of Madam Glo Arroyo which made her under hospital arrest because of plunder.

Of course, I don’t think Enrile, et als have plans to escape arrest but the principal issue involved is they should be detained. And by that the law means they

The Striker

Ben Emata Jr. should be arrested now, not tomorrow. We should now end the society of the untouchable and let equality to rule in our midst.

I am so glad the Commission on Audit is moving to keep things in good order and I can see corruption in the government service which has impoverished the country for a long time will eventually change the face of our society.

Lately Enrile was found to have led bunches of crimes relative to the pork barrel scams in the Senate and according to Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago he is involved in big crimes but she is wondering why he is scot free until this minute.

Does this mean the double standard of justice is still being practiced in this era of Matuwid na Daan?

I had been suggesting that corruption be made a capital offense and death penalty should be restored back to our society so we can punish well those corrupt people who pampered this government with so much thievery and major crimes. Those who belong to the electric chair should be entitled to sit down even for a moment of their lives. It is high time that Filipinos should know the effects of crimes and those that are considered not crimes. Right now we could hardly differentiate

the face of their differences.

We have a lot of brilliant Filipinos who could give us good leadership but are overshadowed by the dirty people who know their way to stay on the top of our government. The result is we have an ugly government filled with corrupt individuals with millions of followers who do not know what is happening around them. As long as they eat three a day, they think such leaders are good and the media which exposes the bad developments in the hierarchy are the ones that lose its credibility. It is definitely not fair and we must change the image of society on this regard.

I like the campaign on matuwid na daan but I I think our leaders do not know how to make things go straight. (benemata@ yahoo.com)

MASTURA DALIG MANABILANG

A Tribute to History and Leadership

By SONNY SUDARIA, ARMM R12

On a vibrant day of December 26, the year was 1956, the Manabilang clan rejoiced for a new star was born. MASTURA DALIG MANABILANG, in Rays Madaya, Islamic City of Marawi to Hadji Cosain Amai Manabilang and Hadja Asliah Bagambang Dalig.

He finished his Elementary Education at Macapanton Abbas Memorial Elementary School and completed his Secondary and Tertiary Education at the Pangarungan Islam Colleges. Married to Hadja Hedjarah E. Manabilang, he has seven (7) successful progenies namely Mayor Jamal James E. Manabilang, Atty. Khalil D. Manabilang, Hadja Kadidia Musmera Manabilang-Dimaporo, Hon. Saidamen E.

Manabilang, Datu Nassib E. Manabilang, Datu Khalid E. Manabilang and Bae Saada Manabilang- Maniri.

Sibling relationship among the Manabilang children was affectionate, cordial and amiable.

The Manabilang family has a simple and happy life, in consonance with Meranao custom and tradition, family ties among the Manabilangs are intimately close. Mayor Mastura and Bae Hedjarah love their

children, but they never spoil them. They were strict parents and trained their children to love Allah, to behave well, to be obedient and to respect people especially the old folks.

Known for his dynamic, passionate and charismatic leadership, former mayor MASTURA DALIG MANABILANG has served the Municipality of Bumbaran, Lanao del Sur for full three terms after leaving his ingud (hometown) with accomplishments that will always be remembered over time. During his incumbency as Mayor, he facilitated several infrastructure projects including the construction of Municipal Hall Building, electrification of the entire

municipality, establishment of Amai Manabilang Memorial National High School, construction of Bumbaran Auditorium, construction of ABC Hall, concreting of all major roads about 28 kilometers including farm to market road in the municipality, construction of Bumbaran Public and Flea Market, built the water systems for potable water supply, construction of PNP Headquarters, construction of barangay halls in all of the 17 barangays in Bumbaran, 11 warehouse with solar drier as economic support facilities, 204 hectares for reforestation project and construction of two (2) big mosques (Amai Manabilang Grand Mosque and MSI Mosque respectively) among

others. Day Care Centers, Rural Health Centers, street lights and multi-purpose buildings also channeled the exceptional delivery of basic goods and services for the constituents. He also generated more livelihood project to his constituents through banana plantation of 540 hectares that provides more than 1,000 employees aside from the soba noodles plantation. He improved the municipality from 6th class to 3rd class due to his passion for peace and development. Mayor Mastura Manabilang also was a former active Philippine constabulary soldier which he learned the discipline and skills for leadership, dedication and service to the people.

The good mayor championed the maintenance and stability of peace and order that paved way for multi-national investors to capitalize on local resources thereby boosting the municipality’s economy. The success of the Municipality of Bumbaran clearly demonstrates

that the Mayor Mastura is definitely a strong leader who knows what he wants organized while having the expertise and courage to do it. It sets him in the category of a great enthusiast who implemented his visions with confidence, energy, fearlessness, determination and patience. Indeed, his achievements as the town mayor of Bumbaran have served as the turning point not only in his then political career but ultimately leading his years to the pinnacle of local leadership with gratitude and respect.

MISAMIS ORIENTAL – Vice Governor Joey G. Pelaez attended the 66th Founding Anniversary and Alumni Homecoming of Christ the King College (CKC), Gingoog City last Nov. 23, 2013. In his message, he emphasized that even if times are changing, the core values and learning each alumnus had from CKC and the various relationships that were established will always remain. He was also awarded a Plaque of Recognition by the Christ the King College Alumni Association, Inc. for his outstanding achievements, valuable services and contributions to the CKCAAI Scholarship Foundation.

Rodriguez said projects for 2014 will be coursed through the national agencies following the abolishment of the PDAF. “We accept the decision of the Supreme Court,” he said.

Rodriguez added that the remaining funds in his 2013 PDAF have been given to calamity victims.

After this he will be recommending the patients for medical assistance to the Department of Health, the scholars to the Commission on Higher Education, the beneficiaries of burial assistance to the Department of Social Welfare and Development, as well as the infrastructure projects to the Department of Public Works and Highways.

The events were graced by city councilors and local officials.

On Friday, the congressman held groundbreaking ceremonies for the following infra projects: bypass road construction, Sayre Highway construction, flood control works and revetment in Macabalan, JR Borja Bridge and Approaches construction, flood wall construction at the Cathedral and flood control at Macasandig.

These projects are undertaken by the DPWH-10 through Congressmen Rufus Rodriguez and Congressman Maximo Rodriguez of Abamin from the National Funds.

“We will continue to suggest and recommend projects for medical assistance, scholarship, burial assistance and infrastructure,” Cong. Rufus Rodriguez said.

However,with the failure of the TMB to convene, the worsening traffic problem would continue to pester this seaport capital of about 800,000 people to no end.

She said that it is only Moreno who could convene the TMB and appoint members thereof to work hand in hand with the existing Road and Traffic Administration (RTA). – WITH PNA REPORT

“It’s totally different. People seem okay. You can’t see on their faces that they are having such a predicament after the strong typhoon,” he said.

Meanwhile, Amaya said she wanted to conduct stress debriefing or psychosocial intervention for the victims in the island but could neither speak better English nor find anyone who can translate French into Bisaya.

“As much as I wanted to but I have this language barrier,” she said.

But Guilhou and Amaya had visited Siargao last week and quake-devastated Bohol this week. They had also planned to visit Moalboal town in Cebu and Siquijor Island.

The two sat beside MindaNews during their trip to Leyte.

They said the trip to Bantayan made their short vacation in Cebu happier. from page 1 “We will help one another experiences every day need especially in times of disasimmediate attention and ter.” action by the traffic man- Another tourist, half agement board.

Peter Basset, also spent some of his time doing relief work in Northern Cebu.

Basset said he went with several groups who went to Bantayan bringing bags of relief goods.

“Bantayan was once a beautiful tourist spot in the Philippines. Now it is a prime example of how much damage a few hours of typhoon can create. The whole island is completely destroyed, leaving its people living in the streets begging for water, food and medicine. However, the Filipino people still smile, laugh and they’re spirit is strong,” he said.

The island has three towns—Sta. Fe, Madridejos and Bantayan.

Basset, whose mother hailed from Surigao City, said he and other organizations had donated huge amounts of food, water and time to the victims.

“I joined this amazing, generous group of people in distributing these food rations and water over these areas for two days, visiting remote villages that had not yet received help, and helping thousands of families through this nightmare they are living,” he said.

“Golden Prince Hotel and all its staff and all volunteers are continuing to make these long, tiring trips everyday into these disaster zones for the indefinite remainder of time. Their generosity and will to help always amazes me. So a huge ‘thank you’ goes out to you all and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. God Bless,” he said. (Roel N.

approved during the meeting an urgent resolution “favoring cash donations to Ormoc and Tacloban,” amending its previous resolution for the allocation of P3.5 million for the procurement of relief items for the

typhoon victims.

The CDRRMC passed a resolution last November 13 allocating some P10 million from the city’s disaster quick response funds as relief assistance for victims of typhoon “Yolanda.”

Of the appropriation, P6.5 million was set aside as financial assistance while the remaining P3.5 million would be utilized for the delivery of 10,000 relief packs.

The council’s resolution was unanimously endorsed by the city council in a special session held on Nov. 15.

On top of the cash assistance, the city government earlier sent family food packs and non-food relief items that were donated by local residents for the typhoon victims.

The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), which spearheaded the relief campaign, had sent the donated relief goods in batches through the Philippine Navy.

A week after Yolanda’s onslaught in the Visayas region last November 8, the local government sent its mobile hospital to Tacloban City to augment the Department of Health (DOH) medical and relief operations.

The mobile hospital, which was acquired by the city government early this year, is being manned by a team of medical personnel from the city health office led by Dr.Lalaine Calonzo.

Rebecca Magante, CSWDO chief, said the city’s medical team was included in the Mindanao cluster group that was mobilized by the DOH in Leyte and Samar provinces.

The group includes medical volunteers from Davao and Tagum cities, she said.

Among those catered by the mobile hospital were surgical patients with lacerated wounds and fractures as well as other medical cases, she added. (MindaNews)
