Kibawe lass wins “Pantawid Pamilya Exemplary Child” provincial quest

By Mary Krezelle S. Mamon

MALAYBALAY CIT Y, Bukidnon — Axl May T. Patagoc, a sixteen year old Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiary from Kibawe town was declared champion of this year’s provincial quest for exemplary child dubbed “Kaya ko! Search for the Exemplary Pantawid Pamilya Children.”

Patagoc bested four candidates from the different local government units namely Jessa Mae Tomopong of Sumilao, Isaraelle Praise Eslabon of Sumilao, Clarenz Palmares of Don Carlos, and Albern Jay Alumbro of Impasug-ong.

As Bukidnon’s 2014 Exemplary Pantawid Pamilya Child, Patagoc received plaque of recognition from Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Christopher S. Capinpin, Pantawid Pamilya Provincial Link in Bukidnon, said the event, which was recently held in Malaybalay City, is a celebration of great young minds. “ This is a venue to recognize the good deeds of children that even at young age, they set excel-

lent examples at home, in school, and in the community where they belong.

The event also acknowledged the parents of their worthy upbringing despite difficulties in life,” he said.

Patagoc is the province’s bet to the Regional Search for Exemplary Pantawid Pamilya Child tentatively scheduled this July in Cagayan de Oro City.

The boards of judges were members of the provincial inter-agency committee for the welfare of family namely Rosario Patriarca, PopDev Officer; Pastor Roberto S. Mah of National Auxiliary Chaplaincy Philippines; and DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilya Provincial Link Christopher S. Capinpin.

The chi ldren were judged based on their special talents, scholastic records, compliance to 4Ps set conditions for school and health, leadership and good moral.

The Search for Exemplary Pantawid Pamilya Child in Bukidnon started in 2012 initiated by the DSWD to discover role models and inspire all 4Ps beneficiaries. (MKSMamon/RLRB, PIA 10 Bukidnon)

Repairing the grounds of Iba Elem School

By LETECIA L. OGA SIC Iba Elementary School, Cagayan de Oro City

Ground Development of IBA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The latest development that has become another source of pride for the Higaonon Community is the ground repair of Iba Elementary School.

The school leadership, faculty, parents and pupils have acknowledged the magnanimity of the City government under Mayor Oscar Moreno, and the City Engineers’s Office under Engr. Rolando Pacuribot for the timely repair of the school grounds and road.

The Sitio’s tribal folks were in awe when various equipment (bulldozers, payloader, grader, road compactor and 3 dump-

trucks) came to the school and started the work of making the grounds beautiful, and the roads conveniently passable to vehicles and people.

The school ground development was realized after the school head and the barangay council sent a letter to Mayor Moreno requesting for help.

The immediate and favourable response of Mayor Moreno was made possible thru the cooperation of the City Engr’s Office under Engr. Pacuribot. The workers even came on time. At exactly 7:30 in the morning you can already see them

manning the equipment and making their hands busy on the job.

The road going to the school is about 180 meters from the junction of Iba barangay road. You can now see Higaonon children happily bounding on the road in going to school even in barefoot. The repaired school grounds, on the other hand, will soon see school children playing various sports and games.

Truly, there is so much to thank the city government and the Dansolihon barangay for their support to the school.

A Low-interest rate DepEd housing loans for ‘homeless’ teachers

Public school teachers who are “homeless’ may soon have the opportunity to have a house of their own through a housing loan with a fixed interest rate of five-percent (5%) per annum. This is good news to our impoverished modern day heroes.

This is just one of the features of the housing loan that Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City) proposed under a bill which he authored together with his brother, Rep. Maximo B. Rodriguez Jr. (Party-list, Abante Mindanao).

House Bill 4061 which seeks to institutionalize the Public School Teachers Housing Program should be approved. If said Bill becomes a law, public school teachers would have the

When US President Barack Obama visits the country next week, the Philippine government intends to “seek a ‘clearer understanding’ of its ‘strategic partnership’ with Washington” in light of China’s aggressiveness in claiming territories likewise claimed by its neighbors.

But before the Philippines seek such understanding, it would be to its interest if it first seeks a definitive understanding with Washington of what partnership is to them. Personally, I don’t believe the Philippines and the United States have a common understanding of the term partnership.

While it is a fact that we have a relationship with the United States dating back since the beginning of the 20th century, that relationship is far from being a partnership. In fact, that relationship started as a relationship between a conquered nation and its conqueror.

There is no debate, in this regard, that our relationship with the United

opportunity to build their own homes through housing loans which shall be administered by the Department of Education (DepEd).

Aside from the l ow - i nterest rate, the housing loan is payable within a period of 20 years to 30 years, depending upon the age of the teachers at the time of approval of the housing loan application according to Rodriguez.

Another special feature of the housing loan is payment of equity of not more than five-percent (5%) of the total purchase price of the property.

The measure will finally enable the creation of a Housing Secretariat in

Strategic partner?

A deeper view

Jesse E.L. Bacon II States that started at the turn of the century was not a partnership. It was a relationship between the exploited and its exploiter, between the oppressed and its oppressor.

America, by any stretch of the imagination, could never be considered as having come to the Philippines to become its partner but to exploit its rich human and natural resources by conquering them through persuasion, force and intimidation. If that relationship could be likened to a marriage, that relationship was entered into as a shotgun marriage.

Relationship to blossom into a real partnership

should start with courtship. If after the courtship the object of the courtship agrees, the couple is then engaged. And if during the engagement they decide to be united as one as they continue with their journey here on earth, then they enter into marriage.

Marriage is the union between two parties, man and woman, as taught by status quo adherents of the Christian faith, and between two individuals regardless of gender as far as the teachings of the more liberated faction within that faith are concerned. The intention of such union is for the two contracting parties to turn their relationship into

Under the bill, financing schemes of the program include the purchase of lot and construction of a residential unit thereon; purchase of brand new or old existing units, housing properties being disposed of through public bidding or negotiable sale; and purchase of a fully developed lot within a residential area; construction of a residential unit on a lot owned by the beneficiary and housing units offered at housing fairs by government financial institutions, NGOs and private development corporations or entities.

This is a very laudable financing scheme for teachers who nned housing loans.

a partnership.

Admittedly, in our relationship with America partnership is never part of the equation, if by partnership we mean equality in the treatment of each other and commonality of intentions and purposes.

America’s intentions here and elsewhere never consider the intentions of the Philippines unless the latter’s intentions happen to be the intentions of the former as it pursues its interests in the country. If America seems to be on our side now in our colliding claims over the West Philippine Sea with China, it is not because America shares with us in our claim but because American interest in the country is at stake.

As husband and partner to my wife united as one with her, we both share the same intentions in life. We mutually love and care for each other. We both pursue the same goals and objectives in life by regularly discussing our plans for See bacon, page 11

DRIVING in big cities is not a joke for beginners.

It’s an ordeal, especially driving during heavy traffic hours. One must know where to go and which way to take. Otherwise, one’ll end up bumping somewhere somehow.

But, driving a car in a small village, where roads are simple, is for neophytes an enjoyable one. No traffic, or less traffic, no traffic lights, no complicated ways.

In the same way, railroads can make train drivers ill at ease when they are also in big cities. I remember Munich in my home country Germany, where railways appear like spider’s cobweb.

They go to several direc-

The way of life Have my say Klaus Doring tions. No wonder, accidents happened many times.

In life we, too, have roads which lead us to several directions. To go to heaven, man’s eternal destiny, one can either choose the shortest road, or one can make detours. Not so much, perhaps fall by the way and end up in eternal damnation.

There are some of us, Christians, who take the

shortcut road to heaven.

This is the road of suffering, of the actual practice of Christian virtues, of serving God and our neighbor. Others take the circuitous road of easy life, thinking, that at the end they still have time to amend themselves and lead a good life. This is risky, since no one can guarantee that an opportunity will be given at the eleventh hour.

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio release the details of the affidavit of Napoles which was given to him, especially the names of the lawmakers and the other officials who were linked by her to the P10 billion pork scam.

Lacson owes it not just to the Filipino people to disclose right away the contents of the Napoles affidavit, but more so to himself if he wants to maintain his claim as a “no-nonsense, anti-pork barrel, and fearless crusader” against graft and corruption and criminality, and especially to God, who will ultimately judge him and all mankind.

-ooo-

NAPOLES AFFIDAVIT ADMISSIBLE AS EVIDENCE: There is no legal obstacle to Lacson’s releasing the contents of the Napoles affidavit, even if, as he claimed, his copy was not signed by her, has not been notarized, and is actually wanting in many other details. In fact, that affidavit, even if unsigned and unnotarized and still incomplete, can be admitted as evidence in any court proceeding.

We must remember that it was Napoles herself and her family which submitted it to Lacson, in an attempt to disclose the details of the

Unfortunately, there are still others, who prefer to take that opposite rod, which leads to eternal damnation.

P10 billion pork scam. It was the Napoles family which sought out Lacson for this purpose. It was the Napoles family which prepared the affidavit, consisting of about one-fourth ream of coupon bond (more or less 125 pages, if one ream consists of 500 pages or pieces).

Then, the details of the Napoles affidavit given to Lacson came from the Napoles family. In addition, supporting documents and other evidence, including a USB containing a phone conversation involving a public official, were also submitted by them to Lacson. In short, the affidavit contains factual details which only Janet Napoles and her family could know, so that, ultimately, that affidavit contains the truth about the case.

Phivolcs urges LGUs to utilize REDAS for disaster preparedness

Z

AMBOANGA CITY – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has urged the city and municipal engineers in the country to utilize the software called Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS) for disaster preparedness.

REDAS was developed through Department of Science and Technology's (DOST) grants-in-aid pro-

gram and supported by the Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research and Development.

Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum, Jr. said REDAS is a tool use to generate critical information that could guide civil defense officials and disaster managers for quick, timely, and reliable decisions in deploying rescue and relief operations.

The software is a simulation tool that can rapidly estimate possible earthquake hazards and impacts to population, buildings,

lifelines, road networks, and other elements at risk.

“We can actually estimate the percentage of buildings that will be damaged, the casualties, and even economic losses,” Solidum said.

“If we are able to predict the impact, then we can recover fast because we can respond fast,” he added.

He said Phivolcs is willing to help any local gov-

ernment unit who wanted to utilize the REDAS. He said the software will be given for free and “the LGU will just have to train the person who will handle the REDAS.” Solidum and other top officials of the DOST are in this city as they launched the Wednesday two-day Iba na ang Panahon: Science for Safer Communities program (ARMM leg) in this city.

ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Department of Agriculture (DA) through its Support to Emergency Livelihood Assistance Project-II (SELAP-II) has recently turned over P7.2 million worth of projects and equipment to the municipality of Panglima Sugala in Tawi-Tawi.

The farm-to-marketroad is located in Barangay Thumbhill, Panglima Sugala, connecting to Sitio Siola that covers 250 hectares of agricultural areas planted to banana, cassava, coconut and rice.

The trading post was constructed in Barangay Batu-Batu where it serves as the center for market in the entire municipality.

The eight units cassava grater and presser were distributed to the different farmer associations.

The two projects and the cassava grater and pressers were realized and purchased through the joint effort of DA through SELAP-II and the local government of Panglima Sugala that provided more than P700,000 counterpart fund.

Rebels free captive soldier

D

AVAO CITY – Communist rebels have freed Wednesday a government soldier they captured in the southern Philippine province of Compostela Valley, the army said.

It said Sergeant Jeric Bucio Curay was released to Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who negotiated with the New People’s Army for the soldier’s freedom.

Curay, a member of the 72nd Infantry Battalion, was captured by rebels at a checkpoint in the village of Andap in Laak town on April 4.

According to the 10th CMO Battalion, Curay was released in the village of Casoon in Monkayo town.

“Sergeant Curay was unarmed during the time of his capture. His abduction was a CARHRIHL violation. Sergeant Curay will undergo physical and psychological stress debriefing at the Camp Panacan Station Hospital for further evaluation,” it said in a brief statement released to the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.

CARHRIHL refers to the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, the first substantive agreement by the Philippines and the National Democratic Front, the political wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, signed in 1998 in The Hague.

The army quoted the soldier’s wife – who was reunited with him in Davao

City - as saying that “Curay is a dedicated soldier, responsible father and a good husband.”

Kilab Multimedia also reported that the Exodus for Justice and Peace served as third-party facilitator for the safe release of the soldier. “I am so thankful that they released me and I really missed my family, my children right now,” it quoted Curay as saying.

It said Bishop Modesto Villasanta, of the EJP, praised the rebels for the release of Curay. He appealed to the government and the rebel group to resume long-stalled peace talks.

The bishop said the soldier’s wife sought help for the release of the prisoner.

“Without hesitation or doubt, we expressed to her our willingness to act as facilitator. EJP’s mandate is to actively initiate and participate in various human rights and peace efforts especially in pursuing the need for the resumption of peace talks between the Philippine government and the National Democratic Front.”

“We believe that the on-going civil war in the country is complex and deeply-rooted. The worsening impoverishment characterized by hunger, landlessness and jobless-

ness of the majority of the Filipino people are results of system that purports unequal distribution of wealth and resources,” he said in a separate statement to the Mindanao Examiner.

He said the resumption of the peace talks will address the systematic problems assailing the country; the problem on peace and human right abuses, the

inaccessibility of justice mechanisms, and most especially, the reeling socioeconomic woes suffered by the population.

The rebels have declared Curay as prisoner of war and interrogated him to determine his involvement in “counterrevolutionary and anti-people” activities in Laak town.

The capture of Curay

coincided with the NPA’s renewed campaign against the 72nd Infantry Battalion whom the rebels accused along with the 60th Infantry

Bacon...

We valiantly and courageously fought with America against Japan. But at the height of the war whenthe Philippines needed America most, America decided to abandon the Philippines for it considered the defense of Australia more important than the Philippines. But when the military might of Japan nosedived and they were already on the brink of losing its grip of the Philippines because Filipino guerillas continued the fight, America came and claimed victory over Japan. Does this fact show two partners working for each other’s benefit and welfare?

And here we are continually deluding ourselves that America is a partner when the latter clearly does not consider us as such. The American attitudinal treatment toward the Philippines, I believe, is simply that of a prostitute whose services they can buy anytime they want.

And as proved by a survey, the Filipinos are more than willing to be such given their love for America more than the Americans love their country.

future and our courses of action for the present.

I certainly do not see this in our relationship with America.

We waged war against Spain for 300 years. America came, waged a farce war against Spain, it was a farce because in reality the two countries had already agreed in the Treaty of Paris for America to buy the Philippines to the tune of $10 million from Spain. It is for this reason that what America and Spain did when America came was a merely a mock battle in Manila Bay to seal America’s claim over our country.

We fought for our liberation from Spain and America came to conquer and subsequently subjugate us. Can we see any commonality of purpose here between America and our country?

While being colonized

by America, Japan came and conquered us during WWII. Doubt is now being raised if Japan would have conquered and colonized us for over three years if we were not a colony of America at the time war erupted between the Allies and the Axis.

3.74 million passengers from January to March 2014, an increase of about 6% over 3.5 million passengers flown in the same period last year.

CEB attributed its passenger growth to increased presence in key markets, strategic seat sales offering the lowest possible fares, and continuous network expansion.

“With the recent lift of the EU ban and the FAA Category 1 upgrade for the Philippines, CEB is in a stronger position to explore the possibility

of serving even more of our kababayans and travellers in new markets like Guam, Hawaii, and the EU,” Atty. Jorenz Tañada, CEB VP – Corporate Affairs, said.

CEB achieved notable Q1 2014 passenger growth in several international tourism and trade markets, such as Indonesia, Japan and China, contributing to foreign tourist arrivals in the country. The airline recently launched a daily service between Manila and Tokyo (Narita) and a four times weekly service from Manila to Nagoya in Japan.

For bookings and

inquiries, guests can go to www.cebupacificair. com or call reservation hotlines (02)7020-888 or (032)230-8888.

The latest seat sales can also be found on CEB’s official Twitter (@cebupacificair) and Facebook pages.

CEB’s 51-strong fleet is comprised of 10 Airbus A319, 30 Airbus A320, 3 Airbus A330 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft.

It is one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world. Between 2014 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 11 more brand-new Airbus A320, 30 Airbus A321neo, and 3 Airbus A330 aircraft.

Simplicity S pecial G ospel of t h e da y : M a t thew10:7-13 (April25, 2014-Friday) Matthew 10:7-13- Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you: In our Gospel, Jesus instructed His disciples to preach the gospel of God. Romans 1:16-For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. But we must bear in mind that there are two kinds of preaching, verbal and non verbal preaching. What is the difference of these kinds of preaching? “Verbal” is using our mouth to speak, while “non verbal” is preaching through our “good deeds” to become “living saints.” This is a concrete proof that all human beings can preach the words of God either of the two ways. How about you, in what way you can preach? In Romans 12:6-8-having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity. These are the gifts from God and we are “encouraged to share this for the sake of others.”1 Timothy 4:16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhDTony Jordan - CDO.

Primavera Residences unveils investment solutions for condo buyers, launches ‘green’ activities in CdO

Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental – Primavera Residences will introduce investment opportunities and solutions for condo buyers in Cagayan de Oro at the launch of its new booth at SM City CdO on April 25. In addition to introducing its affordable and eco-friendly condo units, Primavera Residences will debut a host of exciting ‘green’ activities including monthly raffles and giveaways.

Primavera Residences is a two-tower mixed-use condo property located in a prime address beside SM City in uptown CdO. Its first tower is complete and ready for occupancy while the second tower is slated for completion in September of this year. “ Un i t s a t P r i m a v e r a Residences are ideal investments for people who want to experience green

living in a booming residential and commercial part of the city. On top of the building’s eco-friendly design, it is also equipped with energy-saving and energy-producing features making this investment doubly relevant at this time of rising electricity costs,” said Cheryll Bariga, general manager at Primavera Residences.

“At 110 meters above sea level, Primavera Residences’ position assures buyers of a flood-free location,” she added.

The booth launch activities will start at 3:00 PM and will see the unveiling of the 10 finalists of the Primavera Residences’ E ar t h D ay Photo g r aphy Contest. The contest started last March 1 and called for amateur photographers in Cagayan de Oro to submit entries following the theme of green living and sustainability.

Submission of entries ended in April 22 coinciding with Earth Day. Out of the 10 finalists, three will be chosen in a final judging round beginning April 25 until May 3. The winners of the contest will be announced at a gala dinner starting 6:00 PM in the function hall of Primavera Residences.

The photo exhibit of winning entries will be open for viewing at the Primavera Residences booth at SM City until May 3.

Included in the year’s lineup of fun and exciting activities for visitors of the booth will include a Mother’s Day promo in May. For more information about Primavera Residences, visit its website at: www. primaveraresidences.com or call(088) 310-8173, 09177921078.
