Be safety conscious, Lanao cop tells public By APIPA P. BAGUMBARAN of PIA-10

MARAWI City, Lanao del Sur--Town police chief Insp. Mohammad Ridhwan Ombawa urged the public to

be safety conscious as he warned them against the dangers of crimes. Ombawa, head of Piagapo police station, stressed the importance of being safe

to prevent danger during the “Ozor ka, Ranao!,” a radio program of the Philippine Information Agency and Radyo ng Bayan in the province of Lanao del Sur.

His pieces of advice to stay safe 1. Be safety and security conscious by being aware of your surroundings. 2. Be updated about the

current crime trends in your area such as where do crimes usually occur and who are the usual perpetrators. 3. Get to know the police officers assigned in your

Solon files bill declaring March 6 as Bud Dajo Day By RUEL PELONE Mindanao Daily

A PROGRESSIVE lawmaker yesterday has refiled House Bill 3599 to designate March 6 as Bud Dajo Day to commemorate the massacre of Moro civilians by American soldiers during its brutal “pacification” campaign in 1906. In an e-mail, Zarate said that on March 5 to 8, 1906, a thousand Moro men, women, and children were massacred inside the 50-foot crater of Bud Dahu, a dormant volcano six kilometers off Jolo, the capital town of Sulu province in Mindanao. One hundred and 10 years later, he said that infamous Bud Dahu Massacre remained largely ignored by the Philippine government.

Ex-mayor faces raps for failure to file SALN

THE Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the filing of charges against a former mayor Lupon in Davao Oriental over his alleged failure to file his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) from 2007 to 2009. Mayor Arfran Quiñones is facing indictment for 3 counts of violation of Section 8(a) of Republic Act No. 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officers and Employees) for his alleged failure to file his SALN. In a news posted on its website, the Ombudsman said Quiñones allegedly failed to submit his SALN for the period in question during his tenure as an exofficio member of the Sangguniang Bayan of Lupon. It said the former mayor also failed to controvert the findings that his SALNs were not recorded at the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) of the local government unit.

AIR pollution from vehicles have greatly troubled nations worldwide but improving the situation does not rely solely on addressing the transport sector, experts said. Panelists during the opening plenary of the five-day Transport Forum 2016, being spearheaded by the Manila-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) at its headquarters in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, said addressing the transportation sector is only one of the many facets of the solution to air pollution. Elisea Gozun, Clean Air Asia Board of Trustees member, said proper transport management should be encouraged to make cities

pedestrian-friendly and walkable. She said implementing emission and fuel standards is a plus but noted that promoting the use of an efficient mass transport system has greater impact. An integrated effort to improve air quality can also lean on measures, such as giving economic incentives to people for not using their cars, as well as implementing a car quota system, she said. “We really have to encourage our cities to be developed in a more compact and a multiple-use manner that lessens dependence on motorization in the first place so that people can go about their day-to-day needs without having to rely on vehicles,” she said.

GENERAL Santos City--The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTPWB) in Region 12 has set a P15 to P20 increase in the daily wages of private workers in the region, bringing the area’s floor pay to as high as P295. Jessie dela Cruz, RTWPB-12 secretary, said Wednesday the fresh round of wage increase was approved by the board in a meeting in Koronadal City Friday last week. He said they immediately endorsed the proposed new wage order for the region to the National Wages and Productivity Commission “for approval and comment.” “The board considered the need to adjust the current wage rates since the last increase was set two years ago,” he said. He was referring to Wage Order No. RB XII-18 that took effect on Aug. 1, 2014 and set the daily wage rates in Region 12 to P275 for non-agriculture workers, P257 for agriculture workers

Ma. Carmella Locsin, director general of the ADB Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department, said urban renewal needs a very long multisectoral involvement. She explained that transportation contributes to the problem of air quality, so does energy, thus, “we have to look beyond it”. Higher investments on alternative energy should be done since “you should tackle the issue (of improving air quality) on all entry points”, she said. Locsin said the ADB has decided to double its climate change financing allocation to USD60 billion by 2020. Another important factor to look into is building on political will, she said, noting that this will put more

Top performing coops in Vismin to receive honors By ALEX D. LOPEZ of PNA

DAVAO City--Top performing cooperatives in Mindanao and Visayas will receive honors in the upcoming 10th FOCCUS Awards slated on September 17 here in Davao City. FOCCUS Awards are given to deserving and performing cooperatives every three years. FOCCUS stands for Finance Organization Achieving Certified Credit Union Standard. Emmanuel Joseph Sumatra of FOCCUS said this year’s cooperative awardees also achieved and maintained the International Prudential Standards for safe, sound and sustainable cooperative business organizations. Operations of FOCCUS cooperatives are considered sound and that they remain sustainable, he added. S ome of this year’s awardees are the Agdao Multipurpose Cooperative (AMPC) of Davao City; the BCS Credit Cooperative (BCS-CC) of Bansalan, Davao del Sur; CEV Credit Cooperative (CEV-CC) of Tagbilaran City, Bohol; First Community Cooperative (FICCO) of Cagayan de Oro City; the Kapalong

Cooperative (KC) of Kapalong, Davao del Norte; and Maragusan Growers Multipurpose Cooperative (MAGROW) of Maragusan, Compostela Valley. Sumatra said that three of the presented cooperatives will be conferred with FOCCUS Platinum Achievement Award for meeting the highest standards required for FOCCUS cooperatives. These include the First Community Cooperative (FICCO) of Cagayan de Oro City; Silangan Multipurpose Cooperative (SMPC) of Davao City; and the Tagum Cooperative (TC) of Tagum City. Five of the award-winning cooperatives are also considered billionaire cooperatives that serve substantial number of membercooperators. These billionaire cooperatives include FICCO of Cagayan de Oro City with a total asset of more than P9 billion; Tagum Cooperative with P4 billion; and, AMPC of Davao City, NICO of Nabunturan, Compostela Valley, and USPD-SCC on Davao del Sur with P1 billion each. “Strict adherence to the FOCCUS Prudential Standards helped these coop-

eratives stay true to their promise of safe, sound and sustainable cooperative operations to their members,” said Rhoda Ruth Pillerin, CEO of FOCCUS Group of Cooperatives. Pillerin added, “The fact that these cooperatives are able to mobilize funds from their members and managed them productively that lead them to breaching the 1-billion peso mark in total assets is a very significant development for the cooperative sector.” She said that the achievement of these cooperatives also reaffirms the group’s belief with FOCCUS brand of prudence and discipline. “The cooperative is a business model that empowers those that have little financial capital and even the economically marginalized,” Pillerin said.

however, mentioned that because of this declaration, the late dictator became the “longest-serving President of the country for almost 21 years.” Based on the historical records, the late dictator having the longest term in presidency is inarguable for he was the only president among his predecessors and successors to have held his power for two decades. But did he really avoid bloodshed? The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) issued a statement also on the Official Gazette’s Facebook page not long after as a response to the attacks by social media users. “We only convey what is documented in the official records,” the statement, undersigned by Assistant Secretary Ramon Cualoping III, said. “We continually update materials to keep it as historically accurate as possible.” If the possibility of historical accuracy is the aim,

Think A Minute

then why did the captions not include the Amnesty International’s records of the 70,000 imprisoned, 34,000 tortured, and 3,240 killed in his regime? If Marcos really did avoid bloodshed, then what of those lifeless bodies found in militarized zones in the early ‘80s, the mutilated remains of a certain Archimedes Trajano after he questioned Imee Marcos, the late dictator’s daughter, for being the National Chairman of Kabataang Barangay while her father was still President and the torture marks found on the body of Liliosa Hilao, a student activist who died in detention in the Martial Law for criticizing his administration? Former Kristohanong Katilingban sa Pagpapakabana – Social Involvement Office (KKPSIO) Director Ermin Stan Pimentel, during the Concerned Kagay-anon’s Torch Rally and Solidarity Prayer to Oppose Marcos’ Burial in the Libingan ng Mga Bayani last week, shared about the dangers of historical revisionism wherein it could fabricate the untarnished truths that occurred in that era. Working with the academe of Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan, Pimentel firmly stands on this obligation to teach historical accuracy to the next generation of learners. From the records in the years where history is based,

You’re bored and restless. And you wonder: “Is this really all there is to look forward to? Is this all I can expect in life?” When you’re bored and unsatisfied there’s nothing in life that’s really worth your full energy and time. No challenge. No real purpose or passion for living. Nothing really excites you or turns you on anymore. “It takes more and more to get less and less.” Well, guess what? You’re normal!

Why are subordinates reprimanding Duterte?

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves…” (Romans 13:1-2, the Holy Bible). -oooI AM AN AVID DUTERTE BELIEVER: I am an avid supporter of President Duterte ever since his barangay captains, led by Agdao District, Davao City Bgy. Captain Mar Masanguid, guested in a program I am co-hosting at DZEC 1062 kHz in mid-2015, where they declared that the erstwhile Davao City mayor was indeed running for the presidency. Duterte at that time was still all denial that he was interested to become president, but Masanguid and the seven or so other Davao City barangay heads, when they came to my program entitled “Tambalang Batas at Somintac” where DZEC Malacanang reporter Vic

Somintac is a co-host, were already positive he was running. Since then, I robustly campaigned for him and agreed to be the legal counsel of two organizations campaigning for him, and even pushed a struggling Christian church named Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo (Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ) to support him and then Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. through block voting by its members nationwide. -oooWHY IS DUTERTE BEING REPRIMANDED BY HIS SUBORDINATES, IN PUBLIC YET? Because of this, I am pained and saddened to see Duterte being mindlessly reprimanded by his own trusted men---those whom he had appointed to sensitive positions as his alter egos---on many policy statements he had been making, in the guise of explaining what he, as the President, truly said or meant. My concern is that, would not these reprimand or corrections against Duterte, even if supposedly laced with good intentions by his mere appointees, result in

Kakampi mo ang batas

Atty. Batas Mauricio

the erosion of his credibility? Indeed, as the Chief Executive, the Chief of State, and the undisputed head of the government and the country, Duterte should have the last say on anything---even if he is wrong! -oooBUT WHY IS DUTERTE ALLOWING SUCH REPRIMAND? But what pains me and saddens me all the more is the silence of Duterte when his officials are rebuking or correcting him, in public yet! The image I am getting from all these is no longer that of a strong and no-nonsense President which is what Duterte really is, but that of a small child, unable to think and say things by himself,

being sternly rebuked by his elders, with a pinch on one ear, to boot. The fact is, it is as if I could even hear the words, “you naughty child, what mischief are you blabbering about?” every time Duterte’s subordinates claim to clarify or correct or rebuke him. -oooFIRE THOSE WHO TRY TO CORRECT THE PRESIDENT IN PUBLIC: This is greatly humiliating, and a nauseating spectacle among the men and women, 16 million of them, including me, who voted for him. I say, Duterte should now tell his men to put a stop to this practice, because it not only degrades the presidency, but greatly insults and distorts likewise his own personality. If anyone in the Cabinet, or anyone else for that matter in the Duterte government, thinks or believes Duterte should be corrected in whatever he had said or did as President, the correction, if any, must be done in private. Otherwise, anyone publicly going against what the President said, whether in the form or a correction or otherwise, should immediately be fired from See batas, page A7

PSC to employ ‘sports science’ to produce world-class athletes DAVAO City--The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) will employ proper “sports science” to support young Filipino talents and produce world-class athletes. “For quite a long time, there’s no science in Philippine sports,” lamented PSC chair Butch Ramirez last Monday. He said that had Manny Pacquiao not been able to receive care from physiologists, psychologists and good nutritionists, he “could have been a different Pacquiao.” Ramirez added that the

PSC will hire more physiologists, nutritionists, and psychologists to improve the performance of the athletes who will be competing in national or international games. P S C c om m i s s i o n e r Charles Raymond Maxey said that they will try to assess the mistakes in the past administrations to address better the complaints when it comes to handling the athletes. “Through Philippine Sports Institute (PSI), we will monitor the nutrition

1st Surigao ultra marathon Wage hike long to kick off on September 24 overdue: bishop SURIGAO City--All is set for the longest foot race ever in this city, the 1st Surigao City Ultra Marathon Race 2016, slated for September 24-25. Ultra Marathoner Cherry Rose Betonio, the event organizer, said this charity run will cover a total distance of 65 kilometers. The event is among the three leagues being organized, which will be followed by Siargao Island Surfing Capital 360 (80 kilometers) scheduled for April 15-16, and from Butuan to Surigao (120 kilometers) slated for June 10-11, 2017. “Participants will get to see and experience for themselves the charm of

Surigao,” Betonio said, adding that the race is an expression of their desire to promote Surigao del Norte not only as a destination for runners to get together and be fit but also as a place where visitors can take a deep breath and appreciate its stunning beauty. The 65-kilometer race will start and finish in Surigao City, the race course passing through the municipalities of Sison and San Francisco in Surigao del Norte, bringing the runners through picturesque destinations like Punta Bilar, Lipata and Day-asan villages. Betonio disclosed that the proceeds of the run will benefit poor families

in Surigao del Norte. Like the previous successful run she organized, she gave sacks of rice to poor families in Dinagat Island. Betonio said that registration has already closed as there are only limited slots. The race is rain or shine, the gun will signal the start at 10 p.m. of September 24 and will end 12 hours later. All participants, Betonio said, must be at the starting area two hours before the gun start and must be fitted with mandatory gear like reflectorized vest, hydration bag, headlamp or flashlight. Support vehicles are welcome but not mandatory.

T h e re w i l l a l s o b e lechon and a cold tub of water waiting for the runners at the finish line. “Runners have been requesting me since last year to organize these events. These runs will support different charities. The first successful charity that I had was the Run for Cab-ilan Island in Dinagat Island that accumulated almost 50 sacks of rice which I gave to the poor families in the island,” the multi-awarded ultramarathoner said. The event is sponsored by 2XU Philippines and Fitness First Philippines, also supported by Surigao Runners Club. (Roel N. Catoto / MindaNews)

NEED CASH? P100k-P10M NO Co-maker

A CATHOLIC bishop has thrown his support behind a proposal for a P125 acrossthe-board wage increase in the private sector. Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said the amount may not be enough but it could help ordinary workers cope up with their daily needs. “It is already better than nothing,” Pabillo said. “Our call has always been to increase the salaries of workers because of the rising prices of basic commodities,” he said. The prelate said the wage

increase proposal is “long overdue” because there’s a lot of low income people. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has ordered the review on the legislative measures proposing for a P125 wage hike DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello III instructed all Regional Wage Boards to convene and study the measures, saying that all workers “deserve equal treatment under the law.” The consolidated findings from the consultations

and P255 for those in retail and service establishments. Dela Cruz said the newlyapproved wage adjustment mainly integrated the cost of living allowance or Cola set in the previous wage order. He said workers in the non-agriculture sector will get a P20 increase, bringing their daily wages to P295. For those in agriculture and retail sectors, he said they “simplified” the previous rates by eliminating the P2 difference and set them to a uniform P257. Adding the approved P15 adjustment, he said the daily pay of workers in both sectors will increase to P272. The RTWPB-12 earlier launched a series of consultations for the wage increase after the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines submitted a proposal in late April for a P143 adjustment. The board, which is chaired by Department of Labor and EmploymentRegion 12 director Albert Gutib, has two representatives each from the management and labor sectors in the region. Dela Cruz said they also made comprehensive studies on the region’s socio-economic condition, restoration analysis on the purchasing power of the peso, effects of the changes in the consumer price indices and the inflation rate. “We made our decision based on these factors,” he said. But the labor group Alliance of Progressive Labor (APL)-Sentro described the new wage adjustment as a “paltry.” “It is unfair and unjust for our workers here in the region as we were not properly consulted before this decision was made,” said Herbert Demos, APL-Sentro coordinator for Region 12. He called anew for the “abolition” of the regional wage board and for the legislation by Congress of uniform wage adjustments for workers in the entire country. (MindaNews)

tion of Mindanao, said the lawmaker in his explanatory note. Spain, he said ruled the country for 333 years, but the Moros never recognized its authority. When the Americans came, they were ready to defy the new colonizers just as they defied Spanish colonization. The American colonial government preferred to call the massacre a “battle” and described it as a mere “legitimate armed confrontation between the military forces and a group of lawless fanatics.” United States President Theodore Roosevelt even commended the American Army for “a most gallant and soldierly feat” in the fight at Mount Dahu. But many American personages quickly pointed out the contrary. American literary luminary and social critic Mark Twain called the encounter a massacre. Twain referred to the US troops as uniformed assassins, and, the Moros as “helpless and weaponless savages in a hole like rats in a trap.” American historian Vic Hurley said, “By no stretch of the imagination could Bud Dahu be termed a ‘battle.’ The American troops stormed a high mountain peak crowned by fortifications to kill 1,000 Moros with a loss to themselves of twenty-one killed and seventy-three wounded. The casualty reflects the unequal nature of the battle.” On those unfaithful days, the community was surprised, when, from the edges of the crater, 800 American soldiers fired their guns into the crater. Based on historical accounts, Zarate said: “Our Muslim brothers and sisters fought desperately, but their wavy-edged swords called Kris, hunting spears, and rifles were simply no match against the Americans’ firepower.” Some of them, including women and children, were mowed down by as many as fifty bullets while others were impaled with bayonets.

Only six survived the fourday assault. Today, Zarate said the Bud Dahu massacre continues to inspire the Bangsamoro people in their struggle for self-determination. “They invoke the same spirit in resisting the continued presence of US military forces in Mindanao since 2002, under the guise of holding joint military exercises through the Visiting Forces Agreement,” the lawmaker added. “Indeed, more than a century after the Bud Dahu massacre, the Bangsamoro people are faced with virtually the same issues: the assertion of their right to self-determination, resistance to renewed U.S. intervention; and the quest for peace,” read Zarate’s explanatory note. “This bill seeks to rectify the government’s neglect in marking this important historical event. The victims of the Bud Dahu massacre should be included in our country’s list of martyrs of freedom. The government should hold commemorative activities of that massacre so that the nation can better appreciate our history of struggle in general, and that of our Muslim brothers and sisters in particular,” Zarate explained. “We must never forget the abuses and atrocities done against the Filipino people and we should learn from its bitter lessons,” said the progressive solon. “It is a disservice to the lives of our people who died and who were injured if we block or erase these incidences in our collective memory,” added the Davao-based solon. “For us to truly assert an independent foreign policy, we must be steeped in our history from the point of view of our people and continue to proclaim it around the world,” said Zarate.

yesterday. In a memorandum sent to the 86 barangays, Mayor Ronnie Vicente Lagnada has ordered the full implementation of waste segregation and waste reduction at source to all barangays. “The city government

shall limit the collection to residual and special wastes from barangay-designated Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) or, Barangay Pick-up Points,” Lagnada said. This would mean that it will be the responsibility of the barangays to pickup the segregated wastes from every household and be brought to their respective MRFs, he added.

accuracy should present the sides of the victors and those of the victims. Current people in power may claim the late dictator deserving of a hero’s burial in LNMB, but as long as his son, former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. denies the records revealing the massive corruption of his family and the thousand cases of human rights violations committed in his father’s regime, so should the injustice in his years in power not be hidden. The PCO may have also denied revising history in the photograph’s multiple edited captions, but the words’ subtleties may hint a subliminal attempt. Regardless, as long as the online community is aware of these changes and fight for the steadfast truth, historical accuracy will always stand firm – even on virtual grounds.

better than our Maker Himself. That’s why He gives us expectations and challenges that will push us to reach our full potential. Animals can be satisfied just to eat, sleep, run around a little, and call that successful living. But we humans can’t do that. We were made for much more. This is why Jesus Christ says we can only find a full life when we give it away—by loving Him and others. We were created to give and make a difference in the world with our own unique abilities and personality. That’s the only way we can ever be truly happy and satisfied. So it’s only logical that your Maker is the One Who can show you how to find and fill your special place in this world. He’s the One Who can give you something to do in life that’s worth your time and abilities. Something that will make a difference in the lives of people around you. Are you fully satisfied with your life? Do you really love how you’re living? Today, why not ask Jesus to take full control of your life every day? He can give you a purpose and passion for living that will enable you to win your battle with boredom. Just Think a Minute.
