THE peace and order situation in the city remains manageable and far from "alarming" as a university here has claimed, authorities said Friday In a statement, Lt. Col. Surki Sereñas, Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO) deputy director for operations, urged the public to "be circumspect in their statements while authorities endeavor to synergize factsfellowsituation."interventionsappropriatetothepresent"WeinviteourKagay-anonstogetthestraightbeforemaking generalizations. Cagayan de Oro City is still a peaceful place," Sereñas said. The statement was in response to the memorandum issued by Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (XU) to its faculty and staff that it will revert to online classes from 4:30 p.m. onwards from Sept. 1 to 9 due to "alarming criminal cases." The memo, signed by Dr. Juliet Dalagan, XU vice president for higher education, said on-site classes will resume "based on the objective evaluation of the situation." The school memo is believed to have stemmed from the Aug. 31 night stabbing along Hayes Street, which is just beside the XU property, and around 200 meters from the COCPO main headquarters in Barangay 40. Sereñas said the suspect, Jesus Delit, 45, is being pursued by police operatives with the cooperation of the suspect's family.

DAVAO City – First Congressional District Rep. Paolo "Pulong" Z. Duterte has proposed the grant of a taxexempt P2,000 allowance each per month within the school year to public school teachers to cover expenses for supplies and materials. “Public school teachers will have to cope with even more expenses to carry out their responsibilities once full face-to-face classes are implemented. Our proposal will help ease these financial woes,” Duterte said in a statement Tuesday. Duterte, along with Benguet Rep. Eric Yap, filed House Bill No. 3543 to institutionalize the grant of the P2,000 “Teaching Supplies Allowance” which will cover public school teachers in the basic education sector. “Teachers serve as the nation’s modernday relatedteachingofintoP2,000andathemembersthemtoprovidingheroes—tirelesslyatpareducationtheyouthandhoningtobecomevaluableofthesociety,”twolawmakerssaidinjointstatement.DuterteYapsaidtheirproposedcashallowancetakesaccounttherisingpricescommodities,includingaidsandothermaterials.Thebill states that the allowance “shall be exempt from income tax.” Under the measure, the cash allowance covers the purchase of both “tangible and intangible” teaching supplies and materials for the various learning delivery modalities “within the school year.” While teaching is a profession that serves as a foundation of all other professions, the lawmakers argued that the salaries that educators receive, particularly public school teachers, are not commensurate to the sacrifices they make in helping shape the future of the country’s youth. Adding to the rigors of teaching, they said, are expenses for supplies and materials that public school teachers frequently buy using their own money. Under the bill, the Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd) is mandated to “conduct a periodic review of the teaching supplies allowance, taking into account the current prices of teaching supplies and materials, and, if warranted, recommend the necessary increase in the amount of the allowance.” Currently, the grant of the cash allowance to augment the teaching expenses of public school teachers, formerly known as the “chalk allowance,” is given based on the provisions indicated in the national budget. Under the 2020 General Appropriations Act (GAA), the cash allowance was P3,500 per school year. This was later increased to P5,000 annually under the GAAs for the fiscal years 2021 and 2022. (PNA)

BSP vows to fight broadening price pressures
THE Monetary Board has approved the amendments to the minimum capitalization of rural banks that would enable them to enhance their risk management systems, upgrade resources and manage operational costs, meet prudential standards, and accelerate digital inrequirementsrevisedofandoperations,aimsProgramRuralinitiativesThistransformation.ispartoftheundertheBankStrengthening(RBSP),whichtoenhancethecapacity,competitivenessruralbanks.“Theminimumcapitalshallresultstrongerandwellcapitalized rural banks, underpinning a Philippine banking system that is stable, sound, resilient, and inclusive for Filipinos,” Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Felipe Medalla said in a statement Friday. “With a strengthened capital base, rural banks would be able to withstand adverse financial shocks and at the same time, tap opportunities to enhance income potential, expand banking operations, and provide better credit facilities and services responsive to the needs of their clients and the banking public.” The minimum capital levels of rural banks are P50 million for the head office only and those with up to five branches; P120 million for those with six to 10 branches; and P200 million for those with more than 10 branches.Giventhe liberalization in branching regulations and digitalization of banking services, the tiering of the new minimum capital requirements for rural banks only considers these banks’ network size, as indicated in the number of branches (including head office), and no longer considers their area of operations. Affected rural banks, including those already authorized by the Monetary Board to establish a rural bank, shall be given five years to comply with the new minimum capital requirements by referring to the available options under the RBSP. These include merger/ consolidation, acquisition/ third party investment, voluntary exit/upgrade of banking license, capital build-up program (CBUP), and supervisory intervention.Ruralbanks availing of the capital build-up track under the RBSP must submit to the BSP an acceptable CBUP within prescribed timelines.

BROADENING price pressures due partly to higher oil prices continue to accelerate domestic inflation rate but the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) committed its readiness to do necessary policy actions to ensure price stability.This, after the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported on Friday that domestic rate of price increases rose further to 6.4 percent last July, the fourth consecutive month it breached the government’s 2-4 percent target band, and the highest rate since October 2018.The average inflation in the first seven months this year stood at 4.7 percent. Inflation last June stood at 6.1 percent while it was at 3.7 percent in July 2021. In a statement, the BSP said the inflation print last month is within its 5.6 to 6.4 percent target range for July and is consistent with its “assessment of elevated price pressures over the near term on firmer indication of second-round effects.” It said emerging second round effects like hikes in minimum wages and transport fares due largely to the elevated global oil and commodity prices, and the rising inflation expectations broaden price pressures.

The BSP said risks are coming from the impact of the Russian-Ukraine conflict on prices of non-oil commodities in the international market, as well as the potential secondround impact of elevated oil prices on prices of goods and services.“Domestic food prices also pose upside risks due to shortages in the supply of several key food items,” it added.TheBSP said “a slowerthan-expected global recovery due to tighter global monetary policy conditions and the continued uncertainty from the Covid-19 (coronavirus
Solon refiles bill requiring state-run lenders to open bank accounts for Filipinos
A BILL requiring staterun lenders to open a bank account for every Filipino to fast-track the delivery of public and social services, such as aid for qualified beneficiaries, has been refiled at theSenateSenate.Bill 808 or the proposed One Filipino One Bank Account Act authored by Senator Sherwin T. Gatchalian and filed on July 25 mandates government financial institutions Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) and Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) to open and maintain a bank account for every Filipino free of related fees and charges beginning Jan. 1, 2023. The same bill was filed in the 18th Congress but remained pending with the Senate Committee on Banks, Financial Institutions and Currencies until the session adjourned sine die. “The bank accounts so created will be used for the delivery of the government’s public and social services, and will be linked with the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys),” Mr. Gatchalian said in the bill’s explanatory note. “Under this proposal, the distribution of aid will be made easier because financial aid will be directly deposited into the bank account of the beneficiaries and there will be no need to stand in line,” he said in a Tuesday statement. “Through this, our countrymen will learn to use bank and online facilities for various transactions, such as paying bills and orders, as well as savings.” The proposed measure will apply to all Filipino citizens who are covered by the UnderPhilSys. the bill, the LANDBANK and DBP will automatically open and maintain bank accounts for Filipinos registered with the PhilSys upon presentation of their national ID. For those not registered with PhilSys by Jan. 1, 2023, they may proceed to any branch of the two banks and submit other identification documents to open their accounts.These bank accounts will also be automatically linked with the AccountsPhilSys.for underage Filipinos and those unable to give consent will be linked to those of their parents, legal guardians or persons exercising substitute parental authority.LANDBANK and DBP are mandated to coordinate

Music can raise some one's mood, get them excited, or make them calm and relaxed. Music also - and this is im portant - allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we experience in our lives. Music is one of the most important and powerful things in my life. My life without melodies and harmo nies would be totally empty. Listening to and playing different tunes helps me to de-stress, relax and it can also help to motivate me in trying times. It is the expression of deep emotions and feel ings.” “Music calms me down, lifts me up and always makes me feel a certain way. Explains things when words fail; Music speaks. Music means something that's inspiring and can match your moods Music helps me connect to life. The music matches our mood, or it can help us change it too— it's as we wish, since we choose its purpose. Music's ability to change our mood into the direction we want, to understand and comfort us, to soothe or stimulate us in whatever way we need— is power ful and life-enhancing.

the Rotarians manifests the truism that there is no greater grandeur sight on earth than the oneness and inter-connectedness of all of God’s creation. The presence of successful cooperatives in full sup port of healing the blighted bay back to life has given credence on the genuine essence of cooperativism which is one of service, sustainability and social justice. The rehabilitation of Macajalar Bay has the whole-hearted support of the MASS-SPECC led by its CEO Bernadette Toledo, the FICCO led by CEO Edgardo Micayabas, the Oro Savings & Sharing Cooperative led by Chair Clem Neri and COO Maricel Agan and the Oro Integrated Cooperative led by CEO Rene Hilot . Indeed, these cooperatives who are exemplifying to the highest degree the essence of a transformative coop erative for people, planet, prosperity and peace in consonance with the United Nation’s Sustainable De velopment Goals are in obedience to the appeal of His Holiness Pope Francis to hear the cry of the poor and that of Mother Earth. Hearing the cry of the Thank You Coops, Rotarians, Eagles & Maritime Police poor fisherfolk is so urgent as the coastal communi ties have been painfully witnessing the fading away of the bay‘s fishery and aquatic resources. They are vehemently condemn ing the massive ecological degradation as it deprives them of their legitimate livelihood. Let us not sac rifice the bay to the altar of greed and profit through corporate globalization that have treated the bays as their waste pits wors ened by open-pit mining operation as thousands, if not millions of tons of top soil have silted the bays. Of the 13 bays in the country, 10 are already biologically dead. Thus, we must now hear the cry of the poor. We must also hear the cry of GAIA (Mother Earth). As attested and declared by thousands of concerned sci entists and environmental ists, we are now in the state of planetary emergency and GAIA is now in severe pain. If GAIA is a human being, she has no more lungs (the forests), her veins (the riv ers) are either dried-up or polluted, her stomach (the oceans & bays) are acidified, her head is bald as the ozone

Joey and her friends offered to help the U.S. prisoners of war by bringing them food, clothing, medicine, and important messages. Later Joey even volunteered to serve as a spy and, in fact, became one of the most effective spies the Americans ever had. On her first mission she explored and drew maps of enemy camps. Her only weapons were paper and pencil which she used to record everything she saw behind enemy lines.
It is scientifically proven that music en hances brain function, our brains are most active as we listen to music. Some people consider music as a way to escape from the pain of life, bringing relief from all forms of stress. At the age of four, I started playing the pi ano at home. I listened to several worldwide operating radio sta tions. I was honored to be invited to Ra dio Moskow during the early 1980s. My record library, which contains about more than 20,000 different pieces, accompanied me with my book library to the Philippines. I enjoy them up to this moment.While every country has its own ways of communicating, there’s only one language we can all understand: the language of mu sic. We don’t even need words to understand what music is saying. Every year people from diverse backgrounds come together for live performances and fes tivals. When the music is being played, it seems every one understands what’s coming out of the speakers as they move in unison. In a time of deep divisions music stands to be the magnetism that is able to draw humanity to gether.During the last years, I was able to share my passion for music dur ing innumerable ra dio shows hosted in the Philippines. My listeners love to tune in and leave a lot of comments and music wishes. It made me re ally so Musichappy.isall around us intersecting our lives, regulating our moods and bringing good vibes to those who are listen ing. It raises your mood, bringing excitement, or calming you down. It allows us to feel all the emotions that we experience in our lives. It has the profound abil ity to help those who struggle to express how they feel Musicianstoo. provide a powerful therapy that helps the listener make sense of the world we are living in. People have always found mu sic significant in their lives, whether for enjoy ment in listening, for an emotional response, performing or creat ing. This is no different for classical music or contemporary music performers.Musicplays a very important role in bring ing people together. Whether it’s a festival, concert or a club night, people come together to enjoy the music that’s being played. It doesn’t matter where you come from, everyone is the same.

Tom Oliver, consultant to top Fortune 500 chief executive officers and chairman of The Tom Oliver Group, said in his keynote speech that “very few” companies were able to tap the full potential of digital technology and most retail companies were not able to use the online space efficiently.“Youhave to understand that the future of retail is –it’s physical and digital. It’s a combination of click and brick and mortar —it’s click and mortar... The future of retail is this seamless, intuitive harmony between experiencing your brand online and experiencing it in the stores,” Oliver said. (PNA)

DMCI Power Corp. (DPC), the power generation arm of DMCI Holdings, Inc., is looking at the use of hybrid systems to help reduce fuel importation, a company official said last week. “In a recent discussion initiated by the [Department of Energy’s] Renewable Energy Management Bureau, the agency and DPC agreed to explore the possibility of using hybrid fuel (biomass and coal) in Masbate,” Antonino E. Gatdula, Jr., president of DPC, said in an e-mail.Mr. Gatdula said that if its plan is proven effective, the company will replicate the planned hybrid system in its other service areas. Based on DPC’s website, the company operates in three provinces, namely: Masbate, Palawan, and Mindoro. It also ventured into power generation in the province of Sultan Kudarat in 2016.
THE Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) remains optimistic with the retail sector’s growth trajectory despite the rising inflation rate.During the 28th National Retail Conference and Stores Asia Expo 2022 in Pasay City Thursday, PRA president Rosemarie Ong said the sector is getting back from the setbacks of the pandemic and is “showing dynamic growth recovery” amid challenges, such as inflation and supply bottlenecks.Inflation rate in July was 6.4 percent, higher than the 6.1 percent in June. The rising inflation also tamed the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the second quarter of the year at 7.4 percent, lower than the 8.2 percent in the first quarter. “I think it will continue given that there is inflation, because really, we saw the excitement of people as we go back outside. But of course, I’m still very positive that we will achieve even more,” Ong said at the sidelines of the Sheevent.added some retailers have expanded double-digit coming from a low base in 2021 as they were challenged by pandemic-related concerns like coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) Delta variant and stricter community quarantine.“Byandlarge, in retail, we are all good. We see people going back to the physical format, they are going back to face-to-face now,” Ong said, adding that the continued mobility will support the recovery and expansion of the Theindustry.PRA executive also encouraged its members to adopt innovation and tap the opportunities brought by digital technology.

20. That not only did the Respondent abuse Petitioner in front of his family, friends and other persons, he also displayed a character of being a domineering husband. Whatever Respondent wanted or desired to have, he would acquire the same at the expense of Petitioner. Respect is an issue never present with Respondent vis-a-vis petitioner. The family members of Respondent likewise did not show respect or recognition on Petitioner even from the beginning of their marriage. This is brought about by Respondent’s treatment of Petitioner as a slave instead of as a wife; 21. That in totality, since the start of their marriage, Respondent failed to fulfill his marital obligations to petitioner by observing mutual love, respect, fidelity, rendering mutual support and/or providing support, advice, counsel, companionship and understanding with petitioner. He also failed to give moral and spiritual guidance. These failures were due to the fact that respondent is somehow suffering from a deep-rooted incurable and permanent psychological incapacity; 22. That given the gravity of the present case, there is now the urgent necessity to have the marriage between parties declared null and void. As between the parties both have fallen out of love with each other. Through the number of years that respondent refused to return to the house, Petitioner is of the strong belief that there is no more reason for her to insist on respondent to respect the marriage vows he made before men and God. This psychological malady is so enshrined in the mind of respondent apparently even during his childhood days. He brought along this malady into the marriage. Without Petitioner having knowledge of this malady, she married Respondent. Even the confrontations between petitioner and respondent only resulted to the discovery by petitioner that respondent no longer considered her as his wife. This psychological imbalance is therefore deep-rooted, prevalent, and incurable. It is so grave that respondent has been blinded by this malady to the reality that he is married to Petitioner; 23. That Petitioner will prove all foregoing circumstances and related events of the unfortunate episodes in her marital life to establish conclusively the psychological incapacity of Respondent when the instant case is tried in court; 24. That Article 36 of the Family Code governs psychological incapacity as a ground for declaration of nullity of marriage. It provides that “(a.) marriage contracted by any party who, at the time of the celebration, was psychologically incapacitated to comply with the essential marital obligations of marriage, shall likewise be void even if such incapacity becomes manifest only after its solemnization”. By virtue of this provision, the petitioner humbly posits that he is entitled to this remedy. The circumstances elucidated above shows facts of psychological disorder suffered by herein respondent. The sufferings endured by petitioner were caused by the psychological incapacity of respondent to fulfill the marital obligations, and the same is of such incurable gravity, traceable from his upbringing, and incredibly serious that to force petitioner to stay in the marriage would be to do away with his sanity; 25. That Art. 127 of the Civil Code of the Philippines states that: The spouse who leaves the conjugal home or refuses to live therein, without just cause, shall not have the right to be supported; 26. That Art. 101 in relation to Art. 128 states that: A spouse is deemed to have abandoned the other when he or she has left the conjugal dwelling without intention of returning. The spouse who has left the conjugal dwelling for a period of three months or has failed within the same period to give any information as to his or her whereabouts shall be prima facie presumed to have no intention of returning to the conjugal dwelling. (167a, 191a);27. That there are no real properties involved in this petition; 28. That both petitioner and respondent have closed all possibilities for the reconciliation and preservation of their marriage. This is because of respondent’s psychological imbalance, and the root cause of Respondent’s psychological incapacity could be traced to her upbringing in life. PRAYER WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that after due notice and hearing, this Honorable Court shall issue an order declaring Respondent as psychologically incapacitated to perform towering marital obligations with Petitioner and thus their marriage be declared an absolute nullity. Other reliefs and remedies as may be just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for. This 10th day of December, 2020 at Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines.

7. That Petitioner grew up with parents and siblings in Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte. They were supportive of each other. Petitioner’s childhood was teeming with affection, pampering and care. Her orientation in life is for the preservation of the family as a basic social institution; 8. Respondent on the other hand, grew up in a well-off family. Provided with his needs and wants. But he is an immature, narcissistic and self-centered person. He grew up in an atmosphere where he always had disgusting arguments with his parents. This was brought about by his inherent dominant and forceful character. However, during their sweetheart days, Petitioner did not notice these traits and Respondent did not as yet display them to the petitioner; 9. After their marriage, Petitioner and Respondent rented a room for them to live in. As with most regular couples, the husband usually allocates time for his wife. But in this case, the Respondent did not. Instead, he always spent a lot of his time with his barkada and other individuals. Petitioner as a public school teacher, worked hard in order to support her family and Petitioner’s parents as well. Respondent at that time, was gainfully employed as an LGU Employee of the Municipality of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte. He earned a salary enough to help the family they built with Petitioner. But this would not happen because the salary he earned became his own, spent only for his satisfaction and wants. This is already violative of Articles 68 and 69 of the Family Code which are quoted hereunder as follows: Art. 68. “The husband and wife are obliged to live together, observe mutual love, respect and fidelity, and render mutual help and support. (109a)”. Art. 69. “The husband and wife shall fix the family domicile. In case of disagreement, the court shall decide. The court may exempt one spouse from living with the other if the latter should live abroad or there are other valid and compelling reasons for exemption. However, such exemption shall not apply if the same is not compatible with the solidarity of the family. (110a)”. But this provision was never complied with or observed by herein10.respondent;Thatinthe course of their union, Petitioner started to notice that Respondent often engaged in verbal arguments over petty matters. Respondent would shout at Petitioner without any reason and would not want to back off. Petitioner expected the respondent to give in during fights but respondent would even get angrier than her, not wanting to lower his voice; 11. Moreover, Petitioner discovered that Respondent is the dominant, immature and controlling type. He wanted things his way and would be very angry when his wants are not granted or met. Petitioner realized that she and respondent are incompatible with each other. She already wanted to separate from him but she could not do so because they already have a child; 12. As a married woman, Petitioner knew all the while that she has all the responsibilities to her new family. She showed respect, love, affection and concern towards the Respondent. Petitioner always allocates her monthly salary to Respondent. She also spends most of her off-duty periods with respondent and their child; 13. Just like every family they really wanted that their family will stay in only one dwelling. This would not happen because every now and then Respondent would leave the conjugal dwelling for a couple of months. He would stay in the house of his parents or barkadas. There were instances that Petitioner and Respondent had verbal confrontations because of this attitude of Respondent. The painful part of this situation is that instead uniting them as a married couple, Respondent often padlocks the door of the room that they were renting. And respondent always found joy when he leaves the conjugal dwelling; 14. Respondent is not the one who personally takes care of the welfare of his child. He always relies too much on person to take his responsibility as a father; 15. Petitioner feels sorry for herself for she presumed that the money she was giving to Respondent as savings and purchase of appliances or property was never properly spent. But all these were mere presumptions because her target for use of the money was never realized. It was misspent by Respondent. Also, it came to the point that their relationship turned sour and their dwelling became a house that was no longer a home. Petitioner was left alone at their dwelling for almost one (1) year; 16. That worst, Petitioner discovered about Respondent being a womanizer. This revelation really surprised Petitioner to the max because respondent had an affair with someone else while Petitioner was eking out a living just to support the family. It dawned on petitioner that Respondent intentionally abandoned the dwelling. Petitioner lived in the house, or their conjugal dwelling while Respondent lived in Poblacion, Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte in his parent’s house after he left Petitioner. Until now Respondent stays with his parents, without the intent of returning; 17. Respondent cannot fulfill and comply with his marital obligations to Petitioner. He had other priorities, his paramour, barakadas and his parents, not his wife and child. Respondent took the marriage vow he made with Petitioner as a quip. He violated the provisions of the Family Code, particularly Art. 100, Art. 127 par (1) and Art. 128 by abandoning her husband; 18. During the period of their union, Respondent did not display any indication that he loved the petitioner. Whenever they were together, Respondent demanded from petitioner money to buy personal belongings that would benefit only the Respondent. The petitioner’s salary was the only source of the family for every day’s expenses. Respondent’s salary was kept or even used for his own satisfaction without addressing the needs of Petitioner or his child; 19. That moreover if and when Petitioner refused to give him the requested money, Respondent would tongue-lash the petitioner and this tongue-lashing would normally happen in front of different individuals. All this tongue-lashing incidents greatly humiliated the petitioner. She felt no longer as the wife of respondent but as his slave. The treatment by Respondent on Petitioner included physical violence in front of his relatives, friends and neighbours. Respondent never displayed any caring attitude toward petitioner inside and outside their residence;

John Vincent Pimentel, president of the host Tandag Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Pimentel said the local chamber officials have met with the general manager of Surigao del Sur Electric Cooperative II to ensure that there would be no power interruptions during the four-day event. “Few days before, there were no power outages. It was done in good faith considering that preparations were done one month in the making,” he said, Engr. Frederick Portillo, technical services manager of Surigao del Sur Second Electric Cooperative said a device called cutout tripped, disrupting the power lines to the venue and causing the sudden power outages. He said this technical gap could not be prevented since the trouble on the cutout device could not be foreseen even if electricity load is Pimentel,sufficient.however, was grateful that the provincial government and the school administration came to the rescue by providing the standby generators so as not to disrupt the discussions during the plenary sessions. He also took the mishaps as a sign of the local host business group’s resiliency to face unexpected adversity. “When we hold such big events, huge aspirations, there is also challenge,” he said. Pimentel, the event head organizer, admitted that during the preparation he thought of giving up. “But I though I have a big moral responsibility,” he said. The local chamber took the challenge to accept the offer of PCCI to host the event after two years of hiatus since their counterpart in Surigao del Norte, which was supposed to host it in Siargao Island, declined saying they Opening... from page 1 are still recovering from the damage wrought by typhoon 431Odette.requests for assistance (RFA).
