Magnitude 6.5 quake jolts Davao, neighboring areas

AVAO City––Parents embraced their terrified children in an urban poor village here when a magnitude 6.5 quake struck this city and neighboring areas at 6:53 a.m. Saturday but there were no reported deaths, injuries or damage to property.

The quake, of tectonic origin, was felt at Intensity V in the cities of Mati and Davao; Intensity IV in General Santos City; Alabel, Glan and Malapatan in Sarangani; and Polomolok in South Cotabato; and Intensity III in Tupi, South Cotabato

and Cagayan de Oro City. The Phivolcs also reported aftershocks of 2.8 magnitude at 7:45 a.m., 38 kilometers southeast of Mati; 2.9 magnitude at 8:38 a.m., 45 kilometers southeast of Mati; and 2.3 magnitude at 8:49 a.m., 62 kilometers southeast of Mati. Twent y d ays ago, a magnitude 6 quake struck Talacogon in Agusan del Sur at 10:38 a.m. on Sunday, September 4, but there were also no reports of deaths, injuries or damages to property. (MindaNews)

THE government has urged caution against aftershocks that could occur after a magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck off Mati in Davao Oriental early Saturday. “Aftershocks are expected given the earthquake’s magnitude,” said Hermes Daquipa, science research specialist of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). Not all the aftershocks will be felt but communiAccording to Phivolcs, struck 41 km. south, 40 ties concerned must still be alert and prepare for these the 6:53 a.m. offshore earth- degrees east of Mati. The earthquake had a quake of tectonic origin accordingly, he noted.

depth of 42 kilometers, Phivolcs also said. “There’s no possibility for a tsunami,” Daquipa clarified however. He noted that the plate movement that resulted in the earthquake was horizontal, thus the occurrence of tsunamis from this event is far-fetched. Phivolcs reported that Mati and Davao City felt the earthquake at intensity 5 while General Santos City, Alabel, Glan and Malapatan in Sarangani as well as Polomolok in South Cotabato felt this tremor at intensity 4. Tupi in South Cotabato and Cagayan de Oro City felt the earthquake at intensity 3, Phivolcs added.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in its Earthquake Information No. 2 issued at 7:25 a.m. said it was not expecting any damage. The City Government of Davao announced through its Facebook ac-

count that “Central 911 Chief Emmanuel Jaldon said impact of the tremor in the city is being monitored. So far, 911 has not received calls or reports regarding this.” But the quake, felt at Intensity V in Davao City, prompted Fr. Joel Tabora,

on September 28, 2016. According to Leo T. Alicias, OCD-ARMM officer in charge, it is important for disaster workers to have advanced knowledge and warning of an earthquake “so it’s a must take on serious security measures ahead of time and be able to learn how to properly respond.” “We are going to conduct the ceremonial earthquake drill at Upi town in Maguindanao to be held at the municipal gymnasium around 9 a.m.,” Alicias said. Alicias also encouraged the participation of representatives from various line agencies and individuals during the conduct of the drill. “We invite everyone to execute and internalize the Duck, Cover, and Hold (DCH) for them to constantly recall how to react in the event of an earthquake,” said Alicias. Engr. Amier Ashan Aplal, Operations Officer of OCD-ARMM, said first responders must know and understand the procedures “so we can save more lives.” “When you are situated indoor, when a large earthquake occurs, you should avoid moving objects, objects that may fall and even broken glass. If you are outside, find an open space and avoid buildings and trees. Keep a safe distance from man-made structures that are taller than you and do the duck and cover head at least with hands.

Fact-finding mission vs killings of lumads in Bukidnon snowballs By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-For the killing of a pregnant lumad woman last July 30 which has yet to be resolved and the evacuation of dozens of families resulting from the shooting, a group will be conducting an investigation into the case in Barangay Kawayan, San Fernando, Bukidnon on September 27-29. The casualty was identified as Makinit Gayuran, said to be three months pregnant when she was killed due to the strafing allegedly on orders of Aldie “Butsoy” Salusad, said to be the leader of the New Indigenous People’s Army for Reform (NIPAR). Kalumbay tribal group l e a d e r D atu Jomor ito Goaynon said in an interview Saturday it’s been over a month since the displaced residents have camped out at the Bukidnon provincial capitol grounds in Malaybalay City as their prospects of going back home is still uncertain. In a dialogue with the evacuees, Bukidnon Gov. Jose Maria Zubiri Jr. has

promised them Salusad will be apprehended for what he did, but Goaynon said both the provincial and municipal police offices have not yet acted on the governor’s order. Goaynon said Gayuran’s family has already filed a complaint for murder against Salusad at the provincial prosecutor’s office in Malaybalay. According to lawyer Czarina Gold Musni of Higala Lumad Network, the mission will be participated in by various cause-oriented organizations to find out what really happened in the area. Dubbed as the Interfaith Solidarity Mission in Defense of Indigenous communities Fighting Impunity initiated by Kalumbay and human rights group Karapatan, participants in the fact-finding include representatives from Philippine Task Force for Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, International Indigenous Peoples’ Movement for Self-Determination and Liberation, and officials from the National Council of Churches in the Philippines.

Another scourge “WHO was woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who linger long at the wine, those who go in search of mixed wines? Do not look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart will utter perverse words. Yes, you will be like one who lies down in he mist of the sea, or like one, who lies on top of the mast, saying: ‘They have struck me, but I wasn’t hurt; they have beaten me, but I didn’t feel it. When I shall awake, that I may seek another drink!’” (Proverbs 23:29-35).

I joined the circle of many other fellows around, more or less regular social drinking, and/or habitual drinking with meals (beer or wine!). When I stayed in France, I couldn’t believe that for many Frenchmen a breakfast consists of bread (baguette), cheese, coffee and red wine! Anyway, for many of us, social drinking also means occasionally drinks to relieve stress or boredom. Once, we reach the addictive stage we are already in danger. Gulping drinks and secret drinking daily to relieve stress makes one lose control, and being unable to stop drinking creates drinking habits, Danger is with us, if we lose control over when, where and how much we drink.

When I recopied this part from my bible I got the idea to write about this topic. The writer of these proverbs expressed very well the effect of alcohol. Alcohol is, as we all know, a depressant. It slows down the function of all the body parts. Vital functions can be slowed down to the point of death. Under its influence, people choke to death at family picnics, drown at the beach, fall asleep while driving a car, hurt and even kill other people. The devil alcohol creates a feeling of freedom without worries and euphoria. Our feelings are really free flowing, everyday worries are replaced with a carefree spirit. Wow, I really feel on top of the world today.

look into how this Arayat shabu laboratory was built and then operated. I am sure a shabu laboratory of this magnitude could not have been built and operated without the permission and participation of government, police, and military officials, whether national or local. Indeed, the scandal affecting the National Penitentiary in Muntinlupa City greatly pales in comparison with the “accidental” discovery of the Arayat shabu laboratory, especially if it is considered that similar huge shabu laboratories have been found also in Pampanga since March 2016 (see http://newsinfo.inquirer. net/…/arayat-shabu-labshut-down-b…). -oooDRUGS MONEY FUNDED VOTE BUYING IN 2013, 2016 POLLS: I think that shabu drug syndicates could indeed be behind the

massive vote buying that marred the 2013 and 2016 midterm and presidential elections in the country. Politicians, whether gunning for national or local positions, engaged in vote buying in these two elections using money coming from drug syndicates. Surely, the money that have been distributed to voters (most of whom were even photographed lining up for hours on end at houses of politicians a day or two before election day) could not have come from the legitimate businesses of the candidates, for no candidate would ever dare spend their hard-earned millions just to buy votes. The money could not have come from illegal gambling like jueteng or masiao either, because there was simply too much of it that got distributed to greedy voters.

Walk the talk, interfaith dialogue

MARAWI City––Davao was full of visitors attending various government events such as Sulong Pilipinas where mayors from all over Mindanao and Visayas attended . I was on the other side of the SMX attending the Mindanao Interreligious Dialogue (IRD) Solidarity Conference at Mandaya Hotel organized by Catholic Relief Services in time for September Peace Month. Back in Marawi, I still worry about the impact of the jailbreak of so-called ISIS youth. What is society doing so that their grievances are addressed? They are few but their disgruntlement cascades in violence that affects the innocent. Upon my arrival from the airport just 30 minutes from Cagayan de Oro, we passed by Roxas Avenue

wracked anymore by any terror-maker. Beside me was Aleem Adilao, a prominent Muslim voice of Davao, a UK priest who I met at my UK trip in the past who spoke so well in Tagalog and very inspirational personalities who dedicated their life to dialogue. Professor Hamid Barra shared anew on the value of respect and tolerance in Islam. Fr Bert Layson urged we go grassroots in dialogue work so that conflict can be redressed.

Host Jannah of Cagayan de Oro voiced firmly the aspirations of the youth to be heard. In our social media society which values celebrity as role models, indeed we need alternative role models in faith leaders. The successor generation too must be given their platform to be heard in faith discussions. The message in the IRD conference confirmed the time-tested call to protect life at all costs. Archbishop Fernando Capalla chronicled the long history of interreligious dialogue in the Philippines, in Zamboanga, etc. There was a strong discussion in my gender and IRD panel on the niqab wear because it was a heated issue in Davao where the concerned facially covered women are supposedly asked

to show their faces. In my sharing on Gender IRD perspectives, I replied that faith is definitely a personal decision, we must learn to socialize than withdraw if we embrace our faith deeper. This is one observation and concern of Zamboanga professor Alih Yacub. More engagements and platforms for Islam and democracy research must be presented by the religious leaders.

Group on World Bank offer to ‘assist’ in tax reform program

‘Thanks but no thanks!’ BAYAN Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate yesterday warned that the World Bank’s recent offer “to assist” the Finance Department on the Duterte administration’s tax reform plan “may just be yet another attempt to interfere with our country’s affairs and make our tax system more regressive and anti-poor.” “As it is now, the revenue generation proposals being floated by the DOF, in lieu of the proposed adjusted income tax base, like the additional oil excise tax and the further expanded VAT-base, are already anti-poor and would be an added burden to consumers,” said the Davao City-based progressive

solon in a press statement. “The DOF said that it wants to impose a tax of Php6 per litre on diesel, among others, which is commonly used by public utility vehicles and by trucks transporting goods, as well as on LPG and kerosene which are directly consumed by poor households. It may also raise existing excise taxes to up to Php10 per litre or kilogram,” Zarate said. “For decades, the country’s economic policies are already under the baton and influence of multilatetal agencies like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Yet, instead of alleviating the situa-

tion of our people, particularly the majority poor, they become the beneficiaries of the harsh economic prescriptions of these agencies,” the lawmaker noted. He also raised concerns that Finance Undersecretary Karl Kenneth Chua, the World Bank’s former senior country economist, “might be bringing along with him to the DOF his conflicted positions.” “Change must also come to the DOF. We must be very careful. We must ensure that our push to have lower income taxes would not be offset by more expanded taxes in the long run that would just wipe out the gains of lower income tax

to consumers,” he added. “We agree with the research group IBON that along with the IMF, the World Bank is the primary agency responsible for designing the regressive tax system, including providing incentives for liberalization. This has primarily benefited the interests of the wealthiest and big corporations at the expense of poor Filipinos,” he added. IBON said among the conditions of World Bank structural adjustment loans and IMF stabilization programs since the late-1980s was the imposition of the value-added tax (VAT) and lowering of income taxes includ-

ing on the rich. For instance, former President Cory Aquino, under the advisement of the IMF-World Bank, swiftly passed Executive Order (EO) 273 which applied a 10% VAT on basic commodities. The VAT was later expanded under succeeding presidents Ramos and Arroyo also with pressure from the IMF-World Bank. “Along with IBON, we believe that the World Bank’s latest offer to the DOF is part of its long-standing advocacy of taxing the poor while unburdening the country’s wealthiest oligarchs, as well as the large foreign and local firms,” he said.

Climate group lauds Duterte’s openness to clean energy VILLANUEVA, Misamis Oriental--The Climate Reality Project Philippines (Climate Reality), a global movement founded by Nobel laureate and former United States vice president Al Gore, lauds President Rodrigo Duterte’s statement on renewable energy potentials of the country during the inauguration of Misamis Oriental coal thermal plant. “We are glad that the president recognizes the importance the availability and potentials of renewable energy in the country,” Rodne Galicha, country manager of Climate Reality and director of Ecoteneo of the Ateneo de Davao University. In his speech, President Duterte stressed that there is still a need to utilize coal for energy for the country to catch-up with other countries to develop, however, he also emphasized that the “second and third generation will suffer would still suffer if we are not really able to utilize, what I would say, the solar and the wind...” “If we want to industrialize our country because we were left behind by so many generations, you have to keep up with developments and... right now is to use coal, cheap, it’s available although it is maybe deletorius to the whole of the climate of planet Earth,” said Duterte. President Duterte further explained that there is a challenge to stabilize electricy requirement and that in due time available renewable energy sources such as solar can be utilized with better technology and quick return of investment. “But more or less, it should be stabilized for now. But we never thought that Mindanao would develop so fast that in a few years, we would be starting again to

tinker with, maybe, in the fullness of God’s time, we would have something like solar or better technology but not expensive. There’s no question, they are available.” said Duterte. According to Gailicha, the statement of the President Duterte may be viewed in the principle of common but differenti-

This is one of the highlights of the Paris Agreement on climate in which, the Philippines with very minute carbon emission, is asked to determine and act on its greenhouse gas emission reduction contribution depending on its

own realities. “It must be clearly understood that President Duterte’s statements mainly echoes what our Philippine delegation fought for during the Paris negotiations last year especially on loss and damage mechanism, finance and technology, said Galicha. See energy, page A11

Photos by Kit Elton Pilla

As a brand that aims to be a partner to every individual who strives to shape his own destiny and of the world, Suzuki Philippines Inc. showcased young people who excel in their respective crafts in its “Drivers of Tomorrow” themed booth at the recently-concluded 6th

Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. The pioneer manufacturer of compact vehicles in the country offered five days of great experience for its booth visitors with the amazing automobile displays, loads of prizes, fun activities, and all-day festivities it has prepared, plus the chance to score free tickets to the upcoming AFF Suzuki Cup 2016 at the booth. One of the commitments of Suzuki Philippines is to continuously create and innovate its products based on its customers’ needs, now and in the future. This year, Suzuki centered its booth concept and activities on steering the vision of the future. Foremost among its exhibits were the Suzuki Celerio CVT which emerged top-notcher at the Department of Energy’s Fuel Economy Run 2016 (Overall Gasoline Category), the all-

new Ciaz GLX which bagged the Best Fuel Rating in the Sedan/Gasoline Category in the same Fuel Eco Run, the newly-modified Ertiga, the Suzuki Swift 1.2, and the all-time favorite Suzuki Jimny. Guests also had the opportunity to see the New Suzuki Super Carry that will be officially launched in October. The Suzuki booth had daily themed shows, starting with Driving the Future of Arts with Spoken Word Artist Juan Miguel Severo; Driving the Future of Dance with grand winner of “Pilipinas Got Talent” season 5, Power Duo; Driving the Future of Fashion with bridal and luxe wear designer Yeye Pantaleon; Driving the Future of Music with The Bloomfields; Driving the Future of Sports and other surprise guests. One of the crowning points of the Suzuki exhibition at PIMS was the giving away of free tickets to the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016 so fans can get a chance to see the Philippine Men’s National Football Team play live at the Philippine

Sports Stadium during the tournament. The team, also known as the Azkals, who are driving the future of sports, represents the country in the AFF Suzuki Cup which the Philippines will co-host for the first time this year, starting with the Group rounds in November, and on to the final rounds in December. The AFF Suzuki Cup is a football competition organized by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). Suzuki has been the title sponsor of this biennial tournament since 2008. Apart from the celebrity guests, freebies and games, the booth also showcased Team Suzuki Philippines’ stunning modified Suzuki vehicles. Team Suzuki Philippines is an organization comprised of passionate Suzuki car owners, who will put on display their revamped, well-loved vehicles whose designs also reflect the “Drivers of Tomorrow” theme. Shuzo Hoshikura, General Manager of Suzuki Philippines for Automobile, shared his excitement for this year’s International

Motor Show. “We have many reasons to be enthusiastic about our participation in the Philippine International Motor Show this year, and we can even say this is our best and biggest exhibit so far. Not only did we displayed our latest innovative models there; we are, more importantly, letting tomorrow’s achievers take center stage with our theme, ‘Drivers of Tomorrow’,” Mr. Hoshikura shares. “Our full support also goes to PIMS, as this annual event is a nod to the development of the automotive industry,” he continues. The 6th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) was organized by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) to bring together the country’s leading motoring industry players to show off their latest vehicle releases, services and cutting-edge technologies.

The pupils and the social media By Lornie S. Elemento, Teacher III Paniangan Elementary School

The social media has indeed greatly impacted and affected our lives today, greatly including the lives and behavior of our young ones, our school children, our pupils. In this digital age, mostly everyone of us have cellular phones, Twitter, Facebook, and are knowledgeable enough to handle and manage differing and various social media sites in the world wide web. Yes, it has advantages and disadvantages. Further, these social networking sites may contain images and pages that would not be suitable to the young ones. However, once you used it, one does not have the control to screen what should come out and what should not. Although there are some settings in the Facebook that can, still you have no control to what pictures, ideas and videos that would be shared by your friends that would popped out in the newsfeed. Thus, at home, parents should always be vigilant. On the other hand, at school, we can always integrate the use of the internet and the social media to our pupils. We can give them sites and pages that they can study over and visit and learn something from it.

That is why, teachers must do the research first, check the page or what before suggest it to the pupils. We must be the one who will screen it first. As we cannot control what these pupils would do while using the internet, it is of great deed that should remind them of the pros and cons when doing such. We should always lead to social networking sites that would best fit their taste. Also sites that would uplift their moral and good values is best plus they can read and learn short stories and then probably encourage them to apply and follow it. Exactly, we do not have the control over our pupils but we can always remind them to be always good and be responsible when using the internet, the most encourage them to think before they click sites and pages. As teachers, we should always remind them to use this new technology for their own development and betterment. As these new discoveries have positive effects, we should not forget that they will surely have negative impacts as well and that it depends on them on how they will use it. The best, we should always guide our pupils and bring them to their desired path.

Ensuring trust and confidence from pupils By Gina P. Madriaga, Teacher 1 Paniangan Elementary School

Having the class's trust and confidence is one of the utmost paramount teachers should have. It can be the parameter that as a teacher we are trusted not only by the pupils but the parents and the community as well. Trust and confidence are big words everyone should have from anyone; whether from our partners, employers, family, relatives, and even friends. Through this, we can assure that we can be respected and trusted by everyone, of course, to all aspects it may include. As a teacher, there can be many issues that can be attached to our core functions and positions, yes, it is not an easy job, it is never an easy job. That is why it is very important that we can ensure the trust and confidence from our pupils. Their trust and confidence that we can deliver things as expected. Their trust and confidence that we can set as a good example to them and better lead and bring them to their academic success and successes in their life's endeavours. As a teacher, here are some ways on how we can ensure trust and confidence from our pupils. One, respect your pupils. As teachers, let us always bear in mind that as much as we want to gain respect from our pupils, they too need our utmost respect. Respect them in a way that they will feel that we lovr and care for them. Respect them in a way that they will find their strengths and not their weaknesses. Respect them and learn from them.

Two, set as a good example not only in the school but also in the community you live in. Yes, teachers are expected to be of high moral standards. We should always protect and stand for our name because the moment our names are tarnished with malicious acts and issues, it will affect our relationship with everyone, the most, with our pupils. Let us live by example that our pupils would follow. If we can live of high moral standards, we can also gain the trust and confidence of the parents and the community. And third, communicate with your pupils. Communicating with our pupils is but a normal act as a teacher but it will surely have a big impact to the pupils. Once they will know that we are always here to listen, console and able to communicate with them, they will see us as their confidante and that they will easily share their thoughts and ideas, even their feelings to us. Yes, we definitely stand as their second mothers and fathers in the school, that is why their expectation of parents, of us should be meet or even surpass it. Let us not disappoint our pupils. Let us not disappoint our beloved parents and the community. As teachers, number one challenge is to ensure trust and confidence from our pupils. I encourage everyone to do our job committedly and compassionately so that we would be able to produce skilled and competitive pupils ready to compete with other individuals in the outside world. I pray.

Instructional Processes, Psychological Attributes and School Environment of Students in Araling Panlipunan By RAIHANIE B. MARUHOM Teacher I MSU-LNCAT

lem can be ascribed to many factors including the kind of instructional processes, psychosocial preparation of the students and the school environment. The school administration of Lanao del Sur I Division could also make use fo the outcome of this study. Hence, curriculum evaluation and resource development could be established to improve and support the teaching-learning contexts in ARaling Panlipunan, especially in providing guidelines to effectively express and administer the learning modules of the subject. The study utilized two research designs, the descriptive-correlational and causal-comparative research methods.

THIS study generally sought to determine the performance of students in Araling Panlipunan among 488 Grade 7 learners in Lanao del Sur I Division. Specifically, it aimed to determine the level of students’ performance in Araling Panlipunan, assess the level of instructional processes in the teaching and learning of Araling Panlipunan, identify the level of school environment of students in Araling Panlipunan, correlate the students’ academic performance to instructional processes, psychological factors and school environment, identify the variable that best predicts students’ performance and develop a causal model of students’ performance in Araling Panlipunan. The study was conducted because results of the NAT in Lanao del Sur were not encouraging. This prob-

Based on the f indings of the study, it was discovered that Grade 7 students are positively motivated to learn and have a moderately positive attitude towards Araling Panlipunan. Learners also had a positive outlook in their school environment specifically on the facilities and equipment available, classroom climate conditions, learners’ interaction, cultural relations and administrative support. Moreover, learners’ performance is correlated to instructional processes, particularly curriculum. Yet cultural relations is the best fitting model on learners’ performance. Because of that, it is highly recommended that parents are urged to help promote the morale and expectations of their children order to encourage them in their academic

studies and help them become well-adjusted to their school environment by providing meaningful actions at home. Meanwhile, teachers are encouraged to provide alternative choices in their instructional designs and teaching styles. Teachers are also encouraged to create varied learning activities that will engage and motivate their students. In addition, quality instructional materials may be developed for use in the teachinglearning of Araling Panlipunan. Also, it is noted that cultural relations may be considered in reviewing the curriculum framework in order to make appropriate and acceptable instructional resolutions that will promote students’ learning.

discussions on the LGU’s sectoral issues and problems on social services, infrastructure, the environment, local economy, and institutional systems.

He further said that the President’s call is also our call for climate justice which requires developed countries to act on climateaffected nations for loss and damages and provide finance and capacity building, support and facilitate technology development and transfer for our mitigation and adaptation efforts. Our commitment to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions is conditional and we are not obliged to do so. It is dependent on external financial and technical assistance which the Paris Agreement assures. The way forward for a sustainable Philippines is to start a just and equitable transition to renewable energy such as solar, wind and geothermal and we hope that the President and the Senate shall collaborate as soon as possible to look at the benefits of the climate deal.

after he steps down from power in 2022, assuming he lasts that long. By then, it would be back to business for drug syndicates. We should therefore expect that in 2022, or even before that should anything “bad” happen to Duterte in the meantime, God forbid, shabu and other illegal drugs would return and proliferate all the more and thereby victimize more Filipinos. The question is, how do we prevent this from happening? One way of prevention is bringing back our countrymen to God through a systematic learning of, and compliance with, His commands, either from the Christian Bible or from the Muslim Koran, or from any other holy book of other denominations. We should endeavor, while we still have the time, to teach our people---rich and poor, young and old, men and women---fear and love of God in all their lives. -oooPLEASE WATCH OR LISTEN: “Tambalang Batas at Somintac”, a newscommentary radio program, aired at DZEC 1062 kHz and other Radyo Agila provincial stations nationwide, and is aired live by Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ RadyoAgila1062/?fref=ts, 6 to 7 in the morning, Philippine time.

“The mission aims to document the string of cases of human rights violations against the concerned indigenous communities and assist them in filing charges against the perpetrators before judicial and quasijudicial bodies,” a joint statement from Kalumbay, Karapatan and Higala sa Lumad said. The fact-finding team said they aim to “unearth the circumstances around the series of killing perpetrated by Salusad and his group, and investigate why Salusad has become ‘immune’ to arrest.” Aside from that, the mission will also conduct psychosocial and medical services for the victims to address the traumas experienced by the affected residents and the worsening health situation in their makeshift evacuation center. Goaynon said the most pressing problem of the displaced families is their health, most especially the children. Report said two children have already died due to pneumonia in the evacuation camp. “The [evacuees] have vowed not to go home until Salusad has not been arrested,” said Goaynon. “They would rather endure the hardships and hunger in the city where they are not used to rather than risk the safety of their lives back in the community. As long as Salusad is free, more killings can be expected.”

banded together to go after those colorum buses, vans, taxis, and cars-forhire. LTFRB chief Martin Delgra appointed Guro replacing Mandangan Darimbang, who opted for an early retirement. Darimbang has been with the LTFRB-10 since the time of the late President Corazon Aquino. On one hand, Guro said the impounded vans-forhire are now kept at the premises of the LTFRB-10. He said those vehicles impounded were plying the routes Cagayan de OroCamiguin, an island province in Mindanao; Cagayan de Oro-Baungon, a town in Bukidnon province; and Cagayan de Oro-Iligan, a highly urbanized city within the province of Lanao del Norte; and in Lanao provinces, Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur. He said LTFRB-LTO

enforcers seized the vans after its drivers failed to show any pertinent papers. He admitted that the LTFRB does not have enough enforcers to play hide-andseek against those erring drivers and operators of colorum public utility vehicles. “They [drivers and operators] will hide once, they will notice our enforcers on the road,” Guro explained. To get rid of these colorum vehicles, he said the LTFRB is now conducting some sort of an inventory called as “Tagging” system. It is where stickers are put on the car’s window frame. Guro is optimistic that the “tagging” will be completed in 2-3 months. To avoid penalty, he warned erring drivers and operators of car-for-hire services to stop from their illicit business, otherwise the LTFRB and the LTO will not hesitate to apprehend them and impound the vehicle. Guro said penalties for colorum buses are pegged at P1 million, vans (P200,000), t axis ( P 1 2 0 , 0 0 0 ) , and jeepneys (P50,000). He pointed out that the moratorium in regard to accepting the application for PUV franchise is still in effect thus there is no reason for any operator to operate illegally.

In his discussion, XU faculty-in-charge Roel Ravanera encouraged the MPMRD students to deepen their understanding in using relevant tools to enhance agricultural productivity in light of the goal of achieving sustainable and inclusive development amid the food security challenges in Asia and the rest of the world. Civil society expert Antonio Quizon from the University of the Philippines - Diliman, whom Xavier tapped as the resource speaker on asset reform and natural resource governance, provided a simple yet in-depth take on the “Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land.” He also tackled the state of fisheries and forests in the context of the National Food Security of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Committee on World Food Security.

Judge, aid survive ambush attempt

BUTUAN City––A regional trial court judge handling a significant number of drug cases and his driver bodyguard survived an ambush attempt early Friday, after a group of men with highpowered firearms blocked their way and fired at their vehicle. Caraga regional police director, Chief Supt. Rolando B. Felix said during a press briefing held at his office on Friday afternoon that Judge Hector Salise, Regional Trial Court Branch 7 presiding judge based in Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur province, was on his way to his office on board a red Innova car (SKF 719) manned by his driver-escort Police Officer 3 Edmund Narvasa. They were blocked by the armed men who were on board a gray Sports Utility Vehicle when they reached the diversion road at Purok 3, Barangay Lemon in this city. The armed men who had taken positions at the ambush site, suddenly fired at their vehicle, hitting Salise and his driver. Narvasa, though wounded, was able to maneuver their vehicle back and sped away until they reached a community police assistance center (COMPAC) in Barangay

Villakanangga. The armed group did not follow them but fled towards the direction of Agusan del Sur after the incident. A police force at the COMPAC responded to the crime scene while members of the Butuan City Public Safety Company rushed Salisi and his driver to the MJ Santos Hospital here. Responding police investigators gathered 15 spent cartridges of M16 rifle and .45-caliber pistol at the scene of the crime. Salisi sustained four gunshot wounds in various parts of his body while his driver has three. The two were declared in stable condition after undergoing an operation. Felix condemned the act and announced a thorough investigation to identify and arrest the suspects. He also said that adjacent municipalities had been ordered to put up checkpoints and prepare for hot pursuit operations. Felix said they still have to establish the motive of the suspects. Judge Salisi hears a significant number of drug cases at his sala and he is also responsible for the issuance of anti-illegal drug search warrants. (PNA)

like to invite you for her fundraising event in Davao tonight. Also, you could support the fundraising event for the family of the bombing incident (that) happened in Davao.” The mayor reiterated her earlier warning that she has

not authorized anyone to solicit money and that there are no fundraising activities either for the typhoon victims of Batanes or the September 2, 2016 bomb explosion in Davao City. “For the information of the public, donations for the victims of the Davao bombing were either directly received by families of the victims, by officials of Davao City LGU, or deposited to Davao City LGU’s official Land Bank of the Philippines account,” the mayor said. The mayor “deplores the folly and heartlessness of some people and how they take advantage of a tragedy to financially benefit themselves,” the CIO added. (MindaNews)
