Five suspected kidnappers nabbed

Oil firms rake in P147mdaily from overpricingBAYAN Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño yesterday said oil companies rake in approxi-mately P147 million every day from overpricing the local pump price of diesel alone.

Casiño said almost 78 percent of this amount will go to the four biggest oil companies in the country (Petron – P55 million daily extra profits from over-priced diesel; Shell, P38 million; Chevron, P15 mil-lion; and Total, P8 million).

PPDCI President Erwin Garcia, himself a leading industry player said the time has come for the national government to recognize oil palm farming as a solution to overcome rural poverty. Oil Palm is widely known today as “Asia’s miracle farm tree” due to its tremendous

potential for high yield and farm income.

“PPDCI seeks the sup-port of government par-ticularly the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Philippine Coconut Author-ity (PCA) in promoting the country’s emerging palm oil industry,” Garcia said.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY’S 2nd Congressional District has implemented a total of 34 infrastructure projects costing some P 104 million during the first quarter from January to March this year, Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez on Thursday.

Rodriguez said these projects are mostly concreting and road repairs, farm to market roads and upgrading of damaged paved national roads.

These projects were implemented in practically all of the 56 barangays in the city’s 2nd congressional district, notably along the east coast barangays of Bugo, Puerto, Agusan, Cugman, Gusa and Lapasan.

Rodriguez that construction of multi-purpose pave-ment, concreting and repair of roads were also undertaken in the city’s inner Barangays of Camaman-an, Nazareth, Macasandig and Indahag.

He said maintenance and upgrading of damage paved national road were also undertaken at the city’s port areas of Barangay Puntod, Barangay 23 and Barangay 25.

According to Rufus, the project also included reha-bilitation of the South City Central School costing P1 million and the construction and improvement of the drainage system in Barangay Puntod costing P4.7 million.

2nd district implementsP104m infra projects

The resolution that calls for the full disclosure of the city’s time deposits was ap-proved by the majority in the city council, including councilors allied with the mayor.

The city treasurer’s office has declined to answer these calls from the city council.

Councilor Rommel Agan said, “The city government cannot continue and pursue the projects because the cost estimate of the projects is not anymore realistic given the many years it remained

Dads want disclosureof P2.1B time deposit

• Anybody can scrutinize details of the banking account since it is a taxpayers’ money • Mayor denied request made several times in the past

Z A M B O A N G A City––The city coun-cil called on the city treasurer’s office and the mayor of Zambo-anga on Thursday to furnish the council with details of some P2.1 billion in time deposits of the city government in local banks.

idle. So the funds need re-version,” Agan pointed out.

The councilor said the funds deposited in banks are public funds and anybody can scrutinize the details of the banking account.

“The bank secrecy law cannot be invoked here because the account is not a personal account of any official in the city,” he added.

Agan explained that this week’s resolution is the third that the city council ap-proved this year to call for disclosure. The first request was made last January, an-other last month and the third last Thursday.

“The public ought to know as to the details of the time deposits. It should

not be kept in secret to the people,” Agan stressed.

Councilor Mel Sadain also said that these calls for disclosure of the city’s time deposit has been made several times for the past five or so years but the city mayor’s office has repeatedly denied the request.

This P2.1-billion time deposit kept in several banks in this city has been accumulating for the past years. The city mayor’s of-fice has not taken any step to ask the city council to reprogram these funds for other pressing projects in the city.

In the case of the P200-million fund intended for an Integrated Bus Terminal

(IBT) for the city, the project cannot be implemented be-cause of a court case against the city mayor while the money has been approved for the projects since four years ago.

There is a P100-million fund for the construction of a multi-level parking lot behind city hall that has been “sleeping in the bank,” for almost four years.

Sadain said there are also several other multimil-lion- peso projects unimple-mented through the years.

Councilor Sadain said the city council only wants to know these “forgotten projects” as the funds have been deposited back in the banks as it is considered idle funds. It is only the city council that can ap-prove projects and thus, the councilors must see the listing of these projects so the councilors can abandon or use the money for other pressing projects in the city.

T H E O F F I C E R - I N -CHARGE (OIC) governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) wants a solar energy power plant established in Basilan province to augment current power supply provided by generators of the Basilan Electric Cooperative or Baselco.

ARMM-OIC Gov. Mujib Hataman said he will sign a Memorandum of Under-standing with a Korean in-vestor this week willing to put up a solar power plant that can generate at least 10 megawatts.

Hataman, who was ap-pointed as Acting Gov. ARMM, hails from Basilan. He said the company will need at least 20 to 40 hectares of open land where they will install the solar panels to generate electricity.

Hataman said the com-pany is willing to put up the solar power plant but said the details for the project will still be ironed out with the Korean investor.

There is a shortage of electricity in Basilan prov-ince and Baselco can produce electricity from its generators and standby power barges just enough to light up the cities of Lamitan and Isabela, with a few lines extended to some other nearby mu-nicipalities in the island province.

In addition to the two

Army personnel, dependents get anti-Filariasis treatmentCAMP Evangelista, Cagay-an de Oro City––A total of 895 personnel of the army’s 4th Infantry Divi-sion, their dependents and other residents inside the camp received medicines as prophylaxis for Lym-phatic Filariasis here on

Wednesday.Lymphatic Filariasis also

known as Elephantiasis is a disease that is character-ized by the thickening of the skin and underlying tissues, especially in the legs and male genitals.

In some cases the disease

can cause certain body parts, such as the scrotum, to swell to the size of a softball or basketball.

The disease is caused by the thread-like parasitic worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori, all of which

are transmitted by mos-quitoes.

Some 120 million people in the world are infected with this disease while 40 million of them were incapacitated by it.

In the Philippines, 30 out of 80 provinces in the

country are endemic to Lymphatic Filariasis which has been the reason for this campaign to eliminate the disease.

MGen Victor A Felix AFP, Commander, 4th In-fantry “Diamond” Division said, “We had done so many

medical missions, but let us not forget to care for the health of our personnel and those who are close to our hearts.

There is no vaccine for this disease that is why it is better to prevent its occur-rence as early as possible.”

Solar power plantin Basilan mulled

cities, there are also seven municipalities in the island province that are still without electricity or are provided with power only on certain hours of the day.

The acting governor of ARMM said he already discussed the matter with the Korean investor who is interested in the project.

“We are going to fi nalize the deal with them (Korean Investors) by signing the MOU. I have also discussed with the diff erent govern-ment units of Basilan to help look for the 20 to 40 hectares of land as our counterpart,” Hataman said.

Just like other provinces and towns in Mindanao, Basilan is and has been suf-fering from brownouts due to shortage of power supply.

Th e power barges cannot meet the growing demand for electricity in the island province, forcing Baselco to impose daily blackout schedules.

Aft er signing the MOU, Hataman said he has sched-uled a meeting with the Ko-rean investor to be attended by the diff erent LGU offi cials in Basilan and offi cials of Baselco.

Basilan is about 14 nauti-cal miles from this city and the plant, although said to be expensive, would be either an overhead cable over the Basilan Straits or a subma-rine cable. Wire report

Displaced danger zoneresidents get assistance

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte––WITH the unforeseen chal-lenges that a farmer has to surmount in their respec-tive farming ventures, the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 10 (DA-10) through the Re-gional Agriculture and Fish-eries Information Division (RAFID) has produced 97 graduates on the School-on-the-Air (SOA) program.

A modular discussion aired over the radio that seeks to convey agricultural topics to farmers in far-flung areas, the three-month long SOA on Organic Agricul-ture formally culminated through a graduation rite on March 9, 2012 at the Macapagal Training Center of this municipality.

The program was aired over radio station Radio Natin, Love Radio FM from December 2011 to Febru-ary 2012 as it aimed to advance organic farming as a lifestyle to guarantee food security and self-sufficiency

Parale said the sus-p ec ts were onb oard a black Mitsubishi Lancer vehicle with plate number TRH-530 prior to their arrest in a checkpoint in Barangay Marawi in Marawi City at 10 p.m. on March 2.

He said that a check from the suspects’ car yielded two .45 pistols bearing serial numbers 1098855 and 2103120 and one magazine loaded with five live bullets.

The suspects, he added failed to present any legal documents for the two firearms that they were carrying.

Kills...from page 1

Biju Kolara Veetil, 36, was reported to have been killed by his captors for a still unknown reason de-spite ransoms paid to the Abu Sayyaf by his Filipina wife.

“We have intelligence reports about this but need to get a confirmation from his wife or find his body,” Freyra told the Mindanao Examiner.

He said Veetil’s wife, Elena Asanji, would not speak to the police about the fate of the foreign. “She and family would not speak to us and the last information we got was that the woman is no

longer in Sulu,” he said.Veetil and his wife were

visiting the woman’s family in the village of Tempok in Patikul town when four gunmen seized the for-eigner in June last year.

Freyra said the woman’s family had paid at least P800,000 to the Abu Sayyaf for Veetil’s safe release, but the militants did not free the foreigner.

He said a Malaysian gecko trader - Mohammad Nasaruddin Bensaidin – who was also kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf in April last year, had been released after a local negotiator paid ransom to the gang.

The kidnappers had originally demanded P5 million ransoms for his

safe release. The 38-year old Ma-

laysian arrived in Sulu in April last year from Kuala Lumpur and had been liv-ing in a house in the village of Kajatian in Indanan town when he was kidnapped.

“We are trying to lo-cate the negotiator and get details of the release of Mohammad, but we can’t trace him anymore,” Freyra said.

He said another Japa-nese hostage, Katayama Mamaito, 63, is still being held by the Abu Sayyaf. Mamaito, a treasure hunter, was kidnapped in June 2010 on the island-town of Pangutaran in Sulu.

“He is still alive and being held captive by the

Abu Sayyaf,” he said.Aside from the Japanese,

the Abu Sayyaf is also hold-ing two fishermen, Renato Panisales and Wennie Fer-rer – all employees of the Mega Fishing Corpora-tion in Zamboanga City – after they were seized at sea off Sulu in March last year. Their companion, Jonald Ocsimar, was freed in July after his family paid P300,000 ransom.

Another faction of the Abu Sayyaf is still holding an Australian national, Warren Rodwell, 52, in the Muslim province of Basilan, after he was kid-napped in December last year from his seaside home in Ipil town in Zamboanga Sibugay province.

The kidnappers de-manded $2 million ran-soms in exchange for his freedom, but his Filipino wife, Miraflor Gutang, 27, said they cannot afford to pay. Rodwell’s fate remains unknown.

In 2009, Abu Sayyaf gunmen also kidnapped three members of the Inter-national Committee of the Red Cross – a Swiss, Italian and Filipino – who were inspecting humanitarian projects in Patikul town. They rejected offers by the military and police to provide them with security when gunmen seized them. They were also freed after huge ransoms were report-edly paid to the militants. (Al Jacinto)

BUTUAN City––Eight government agencies gave employment and liveli-hood assistance to dis-placed residents of danger zone residents here.

Led by Butuan City Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr., the group attended to the needs of the resi-dents who lost their homes as the local government implemented its policy of moving people in flood-prone areas to higher and safer sites before disasters occur.

Task Force Likas was tasked to implement the program.

Gracing the activity were the line agencies’ offi-cers including Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Caraga director Ofelia Domingo, Techni-cal Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda)-Agusan del Norte director Florencio Sunico Jr., Philippine Overseas Employment Adminis-tration (POEA)-Caraga OIC director Marietta Lu-mawag, DOLE-13 assistant

director Joel Gonzales, Caraga Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) Secretary Earl de la Victoria, Direc-tor Estrella Malik, Ronnie Azura, PESO Manager, Atty, Romualdo Florente, Atty. Nicodemus Palangan, Executive Labor Arbiter, Ms. Annette Lovete.

Amante pointed out that the city government wanted to assure that it was doing what was best to help the displaced resi-dents through employment and livelihood assistance.

More farmers learn organicfarming via school on the air

while upholding an ecolog-ically-sound environment, improving the health of producers and consumers alike, and augmenting the income of farmers within the province.

Accordingly, it would contribute in the agency’s clamor in propelling and implementing organic ag-riculture practices within the country as mandated in Republic Act No. 10068 or the Organic Agriculture Act of 2010, which is prin-cipally authored by no less than Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala.

Farmer-graduates came from the municipalities of Baroy, Kapatagan, Tubod and Sapad, wherein Agnes B. Padua claimed the coveted top spot after complying a series of quizzes and the final assessment exam with distinguished marks.

Next to Padua in the honor roll is Fe B. Panti-nople (2nd honors), Severa S. Bacaling (3rd), Margarita

B. Santarita (4th), Marcelita B. Slayan (5th), Merlyn C. Rosal (6th), Teresita T. Calago (7th), Myrna M. Calago (8th), Elisa A. Ma-calisang (9th) and Teresita M. Bacalso (10th).

In attendance to confirm the graduating class is DA-10 RAFID Chief Mary Grace B. Sta. Elena, who put to mind the farmer-graduates to apply and replicate the knowledge, particularly on technologies obtained from the department. Otherwise, she added that their learn-ing will not measure up to the efforts exerted behind the people of the program, if and when, they will not employ them in their re-spective farms.

During the graduation ceremony, DA-10 likewise conferred the honorees with plaques of recogni-tion and one bag of corn seeds, apiece. Meanwhile, participating students, mu-nicipalities, agriculturists and technicians were given

certificates of completion and recognition, assorted vegetable seeds, sprinklers and other freebies, courtesy from the agency and the province’s agriculture office (PAOs).

Also joining the occasion is Provincial Agriculturist Letecia G. Ditucalan and Sangguniang Panlalawigan member and Vice Chairman on the Committee of Agri-culture Honorable Tawam-tawam M. Cauntongan.

For this year, DA-10 RAFID is targeting to con-duct a total of three SOA programs which intends to bring agricultural impact to around 600 farmer-bene-ficiaries and an additional of two regular Agri-Pinoy radio programs.

Furthermore, the di-vision would carry on in initiating such program in coordination with the different agriculture offices in the various provinces within the region. Joanne L. Olson of DA-10

THINK a minute.A proud man who

thought he knew it all, liked to say: “You can disagree with me. After all, you have the right to be wrong!”

Freedom is probably the most valuable thing we can have.

Many of us are free to choose our own leaders and government.

We’re free to choose to study hard and get a good education.

We don’t like to be forced to do anything, do we? We don’t want someone to mar-ry us just because their parents forced them.

We want our husband or wife to choose to marry us because they love us and want to live their life with us.

God could easily have made us like robots or ma-chines, so we’d have no choice but just do exactly what He wants.

The right to choose

It’s because God loves us that He wants us to freely choose to love Him in re-turn, and to enjoy living His right way. But we all rejected God’s love and His right, happy way of living.

We chose to live our own way. We’ve chosen to do many things wrong: wrong thoughts and words, wrong attitudes, and wrong living.

Just look at all the prob-lems around us because of people’s greed and selfish-ness, vicious gossip, angry, hurtful words, violence, immorality and lack of self-

control, as well as dishonesty and corruption.

When you and I choose to live our own way, Jesus said that we’re also choosing where we’ll live after we die: separated from God in Hell.

In Hell, evil, pain and suffering will never end. You see, just like light and darkness cannot be in the same place together, God, who is perfectly good and right, simply cannot live together with any kind of wrong.

Otherwise He wouldn’t really be God! Would you

believe in a God Who says stealing, rape and murder is OK? Of course, not!

It’s not God who sends us to hell, it’s you and I who send ourselves to Hell by rejecting God’s gift of forgiveness and new life.

We condemn ourselves by refusing His right way of living, which He made for our own happiness and good.

In fact, God loves you and me so much that He gave His own innocent life on a criminal’s cross, just so He could save us from living in Hell forever—away from Him. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you right now and choose to start living for Him everyday, for the rest your life? You can do it, with His help and power.

Remember, you have nothing to lose and every-thing to gain.

Just Think a Minute.

AFTER validating the information, perhaps, it is now safe to say that Cong. Bambi Emano of Misamis Oriental’s 2nd District is definitely running for the gubernatorial post come 2013 elections.

Talk about Bambi Emano as possible gubernatorial candidate float as early as 2010. Although the information then came from Bambi’s inner circle, its validation remained uncertain until two years later.

There are many considerations why Bambi may opt to finish his last three-year term in Congress. At the moment, Bambi is still in his second term. The 2013 elections complete Bambi’s three-term in Congress. It is equivalent to nine years.

One of the reasons why Bambi may decide to fin-ish his last three-year term in Congress is the juicy position for senior members of the house. Chairmen of various house committees are usually reserved for most senior members of Congress. A senior member of the house is one who is on his final three-year term.

Holding or being chairman of various committees in Congress means one is in control of various pro-grams and budget allocation for projects under these committees. No doubt, being a chairman of a house committee means additional responsibility. It also signifies seniority which enjoys preferential treatment by the House Speaker.

In spite of the foreseen privilege, Bambi appear to be head on leaving one of the most lucrative and

The next honcho in Misor politicsmemorable years of his life as a legislative member of the Lower House. Bambi has set his eyes for the gubernatorial post in Misamis Oriental.

In Congress, the young Emano represents only half of Misamis Oriental’s 25 municipal towns which include the two component cities of El Salvador in the west and Gingoog in the east. To be a governor would mean serving the two provincial congress districts. It would also mean greater responsibilities.

As a young legislator and having been in public of-fice for more than 10 years, Bambi Emano is capable of running the affairs of the provincial government.

Bambi Emano joined public service as a fresh graduate in college at a very young age as town Mayor of Tagolo-an. Bambi’s experience as a public servant grows along with his development as a person and as future leader.

The young Bambi is lucky to have been honed by his father, ‘Dongkoy Emano,’ a battle-scarred political leader and an astute politician in his own right. Dong-koy Emano is the leader of the indigenous Padayon Pilipino political organization that has survived during the pre-Martial Law era.

With the counsel of the years gradually conquering the grand heydays of his political exploits, ‘Dongkoy’ believes that ‘Bambi’s’ time has come. To fulfill this mandate, Bambi must first become Governor of Misa-mis Oriental.

It is only by becoming Governor that Bambi can ably carry out the mandate of his manifest destiny as Misamis Oriental’s next political honcho.

PORK NEED NOT BE GIVEN TO LAWMAKERS: Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda just con-firmed that, really, there is no need for pork barrel funds to be coursed through congressmen and senators, with his disclosures that those funds can actually be directly poured into the congressmen’s and sena-tors’ bailiwicks without the lawmakers’ participation. So, why are administration lawmakers still receiving their “pork”?

-ooo-CRIME DOES NOT PAY,

Last partAccording to Vinod Kothari, “securitisation in its

widest sense implies every such process which converts a financial relation into a transaction.” It can serve as a financial tool that can be used to generate cash or other benefits. Essentially, there are asset-backed and mortgaged-backed securities and now, intellectual property-backed securities. While the first two are based on revenue streams of existing loans such as real estate, cars, and credit cards, the third is based on expected future flows of income gained from patents, trademarks or copyright. As such, IP-backed securities can be characterized as highly speculative since future streams of income may fluctuate, as opposed to the first two types which are based on a verifiable stream of income.

Securitizing IP can be used 1) to generate cash as in the case of David Bowie or it can be used for 2) “other benefits such as brand protection, risk minimization, assistance in collection of licensed-out brand revenue streams and other benefits. In brand [trademark] se-curitization transactions, the value of a brand’s future revenue stream represented by its brand valuation is converted into a financial vehicle that is sold to investors along with the brand as an asset and its market risk in exchange for cash or other brand management options.”

THE Department of Trans-portation and Communica-tions secretary Mar Roxas today announced that the government is allocating about P500 million to con-struct and upgrade exist-ing berthing facilities in key ports in the country in line with the government’s thrust to provide reliable and responsive port services and sustain the develop-ment of the country’s port community.

“Together with the PPA, we have identified key port areas in Iloilo, Ormoc and Tabaco where cargo han-dling capacity are projected to increase as a result of growing shipping activities in those areas,” Roxas said. “Lahat ng gagawing pagsa-sa-ayos sa mga nasabing daungan ay para dagdagan ang espasyo na kung saan mabilis na madidiskarga ang mga cargo na duma-dating mula sa iba’t ibang lugar.”

These projects would improve port operations in terms of goods and pas-

DOTC allocates P500 million to upgrade key sea ports

senger movements as well as foster a more productive, efficient, safe secure and comfortable port experi-ence.

“We are constructing additional 3,653 sqm of cargo handling space in

the port of Tabaco, Albay. This will enable faster off loading and boarding of cargoes,” Roxas said.

The estimated cost of the project is P83.7 million.

The Iloilo Commercial Port Complex will also be

upgraded by construct-ing additional 13,720 sqm cargo handling space to accommodate the increased throughput arising from the closing down of berths along Iloilo River. The estimated cost is P307.6 million.

The government is also

upgrading the Ormoc port where an additional back-up area of 3,791sqm will be constructed including a Roll-on Roll off (RORO) ramp to accommodate the projected increase in vessel traffic.

Ormoc port recorded

948 vessels traffic as of 2010. Currently, the Ormoc port can only accommodate 1,095 vessels. It is projected that within five years, traffic vessel traffic in the port will reach 1,533. The esti-mated project cost is P109.9 million.

MotoringCar of the Year - scores & rankingsONE thing that the SA Guild of Motoring Journalists chair-man Danie van Jaarsveld was quick to assure us during the pre-announcement speech, held at the gala banquet in Midrand on Th ursday night, was that there would be just one winner this time around.

Systems put in place meant that there would no longer be a repeat of last year’s controversy where two cars drove away with Wesbank/SAGMJ Car of the Year ac-colade.

In fact, when the winner drove onto the stage later that evening it signalled a positive milestone - this being the fi rst time that a Korean car has taken the title.

Being a far more trans-parent competition since it was reinvented last year, the SAGMJ also revealed the scores allocated to each car, allowing us to see the overall ranking and here we see that Korea in fact took the top two spots:

10. Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 - 3

After putting each ve-hicle through its paces at the Gerotek test facility, the 30 jury members had 25 points at their disposal, which they had to divide between no more than fi ve cars and no less than three - the same way it’s done in the European

COTY competition.Judges are urged to deter-

mine how well each car fares against its natural competitors (rather than its fellow COTY fi nalists) in areas like value for money, driving dynamics, technology, safety and style, among other factors.

THE WINNERTh e Hyundai Elantra 1.8

GLS has received a fair amount of positive press since be-ing launched last year for its combination of style, quality and value.

Priced at R224 900 for the six-speed manual model, it’s well priced in relation to its rivals, which include the R259 900 Honda Civic 1.8 Elegance, R269 500 Toyota Corolla 2.0 Exclusive and R289 420 Mazda3 2.0 Individual.

Th e spacious Elantra is fi t-ted with goodies like dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensor and automatic wind-screen wipers and is powered by a 1.8-litre petrol engine that pushes 110kW and 178Nm. Th ere’s also a lesser-specced 96kW 1.6 GLS available for R199 900.

Good tradeA WOMAN is driving home in Northern Arizona when she sees a Navajo woman hitchhiking.

Because the trip had been long and quiet, she stops the car and the Navajo woman climbs in.

During their small talk, the Navajo woman glances surreptitiously at a brown bag on the front seat between them.

“If you’re wondering what’s in the bag,” offers the woman, “It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.”

The Navajo woman is silent for a while, nods several times and says, “Good trade.”

THE theory behind the ba-sis of acupuncture is that en-ergy (called qi) flows through channels in our body called meridians.

According to traditional Chi-nese medicine (TCM), each of these channels are connected to

a specific organ system. During acupuncture, nee-

dles are inserted at various points along the meridians to promote the energy flow. (NIH). (extracted from Lisa Fayed’s article in About.com Guide)

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte––Ten life-size robotic dino-saurs were put on display at the cavernous Mindanao Civic Center (MCC) gym-nasium, Sagadan, Tubod last March 9 to 15, 2012.

Th e forest-themed ex-hibit dubbed as ‘Dinosaurs Alive’ featured animatronic dinosaurs specially cre-ated to educate primary and secondary students on the giants that lived during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

“As a biology teacher, this exhibit is very timely because my students no longer need to imagine how these giant creatures look and sound. I am truly thankful to Gov-ernor Khalid Dimaporo for helping bring this ex-hibit here in our province,” MSU-Baloi teacher Nor-ain Ampang expressed.

THE partnership of Alas-ka Milk Corporation and FrieslandCampina dates back four decades ago when in 1972, the first can of Alaska evaporated filled milk was produced in the country through the col-laboration of the Uytengsu family and the Dutch dairy co-operative.

Today, that partnership was further strengthened through the increased invest-ment of FrieslandCampina in Alaska Milk.

Royal FrieslandCampina is the leading dairy company in Netherlands and ranked 5 among the largest dairy companies in the world with annual turnover of EUR 9.0 billion.

A PARTNERSHIP TO NOURISH 100 MILLION FILIPINOSAlaska Milk marks 40th year milestone with FrieslandCampina

Currently, Friesland-Campina employs 19,000 people in 25 countries with products sold in more than 100 countries.

To Alaska Milk, the part-nership presents a host of possibilities from an opera-tional standpoint.

FrieslandCampina brings to the table a portfolio of dairy products ranging from raw material ingredients to valued-added dairy prod-ucts such as infant formula, cheese, butter, yoghurts among others.

It also affords Alaska Milk to compete globally through the possible dis-tribution of Alaska Milk products in territories out-side of the Philippines.

The partnership also offers learning through ex-change of best manufactur-ing and marketing practices, including exchange of tal-ents, culled from years of solid experience by both companies.

This partnership is ex-pected to usher an era of unprecedented develop-ment for the domestic dairy market in terms of transfer of technology, research and development and will elevate food and security awareness in milk processing in the Philippines.

Alaska Milk also sees the partnership in line with its strategic goal of doubling the business by 2014.

Alaska Milk posted com-pounded annual growth of

9% from 1999 to 2010 and average double-digit earn-ings before interest and tax (EBIT) since 2001.

“We expect this historical agreement to propel Alaska Milk to its next stage growth and the products developed by FrieslandCampina will strengthen our position in all dairy categories. The intended integration will provide Alaska Milk with access to an international dairy company. It is a tes-tament to our aspiration to bring our business and products regionally,” said Wilfred Steven Uytengsu, President and Chief Execu-tive Officer of Alaska Milk.

For forty years, Alaska Milk has shown consistent brand leadership in the

liquid canned milk cat-egory, a strong and growing position in the powdered milk and value-added milk products such as ready-to-drink milks and ready-to-use products. Recently, Alaska Milk expanded its product portfolio in the non-dairy coffee creamer category and sterilized milk segment. The

Company has likewise established a strong part-nership with its trade and business partners in pro-viding its consumers with the highest level of service.

A l a s k a M i l k a n d Fr ies landCampina are both committed to lead the growth of the domestic dairy market. They share the same passion of providing

consumers with affordable and world-class products that play an important role in people’s nutrition and well-being.

Forty years ago, Alaska Milk set forth to provide quality and affordable nu-trition to Filipinos and today that commitment remains true and is fur-ther reinforced through this renewed partnership. Working together to help the country and its people move forward in life with natural dairy nutrition. The heart of soul of Alaska Milk remains stronger than ever. “My heart remains here and I will continue to lead the management team of Alaska Milk for the foreseeable future.” Mr. Uytengsu adds.

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte––After being declared by PBA Commissioner Chito Salud as the ‘Home of the PBA’ in Mindanao, Mindanao Civic Center (MCC) gymna-sium situated in the capital town of Tubod, Lanao del Norte will again hosts another exciting battle between Meralco Bolts and Barako Bulls on March 17, 2012.

Although both teams are in the lower half of the team standings, both are eager to resuscitate their bid in the on-going PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

Meralco is hoping to make it two-in-a-row after handing crowd-favorite Barangay Ginebra its second loss (89-80) during their latest duel at the Smart Ara-neta Coliseum Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, the Barako Bulls will be depending on the basketball prowess of point-guard Willie Miller who is the league’s second top scorer averaging 16.1 points per game. Miller is also the PBA’s steals leader at 102.

“We hope to hosts at least one PBA game per conference. This would translate to three games in a year. We are happy that PBA has considered Lanao del Norte as its partner in promoting the PBA brand of basketball here in Mindanao,” Governor Khalid Dimaporo expressed.

The preliminary game which is scheduled at 3 p.m. will pit the senior varsity teams of MSU-Marawi against Saint Columban College of Pagadian City.

The main basketball event will immediately follow at 6 in the evening.

MCC gates will open at 2PM to accommodate bas-ketball fans from Lanao del Norte, Ozamiz City, Iligan City, Pagadian and nearby provinces.

Ticket prices are pegged at 150, 300, 400, and 1000. Tickets outlets include Dunkin’ Donuts branches in Iligan City and the Provincial Treasurer’s Office in the Capitol building, Tubod.

Meralco Bolts’ defense will surely be tested by Barako Bulls guard Willie Miller, who is the second top scorer of the league, during their scheduled out-of-town game in Lanao del Norte on March 17, 2012.

Palm...from page 1

and accelerate the de-velopment of coconut and other palm oil industry in all aspects. Oil palm, being a member of the palm family, should not be treated as an unwanted crop by the PCA. Oil palm, in many aspects, compliments and serves to covercrop the weaknesses of coconut trees.

To mitigate climate change, oil palm should be made as priority crop under E.O. 26 – The Na-tional Greening Program by converting millions of hectares of unproductive grass and brush lands into oil palm plantations, he added.

In a paper presented dur-ing the forum, Dr. Pablito Pamplona, a retired pro-fessor of the University of Southern Mindanao and a known expert in oil palm farming urged local industry players to prepare strategic localized road map in the ex-pansion of oil palm farming and implement the proven successful techniques used in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand in overcoming rural poverty.

Pamplona said the gov-ernment should create an interagency cooperation from among key players of the industry to include the DA, DENR, DAR, PCA and non-government organiza-tions (NGOs) to maximize the potentials of oil palm farming as a tool in poverty alleviation.

Oil palm farming has been extensively cited to have helped overcome poverty and promoted ru-ral prosperity in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. These Asean countries are now the leaders in the in-dustry, supplying the world market with unlimited busi-ness opportunities derived from oil palm farming, he said.

He added: “If we are to extrapolate the monthly earnings of oil companies on their overpriced diesel then it would amount to P4,410,000,000 or approxi-mately P4.5 billion, a very huge amount that can be used by drivers to buy more food for their families.”

He asked: “The daily income of jeepney drivers is eroded by P96 per oil price hikes this year. Their esti-mated daily consumption of diesel is P1,443, while P1,200 is the total amount loaded in a Pantawid Pasada card. How cruel can the government get?”

“Aside from this the gov-ernment of is collecting a huge windfall revenue from additional VAT on oil at the expense of the public interest,” said Casiño.

“Considering that there is a P1 billion additional VAT revenue for every $1 increase in Dubai crude, there is already a P4 billion VAT windfall for the first quarter of the year alone,” Casiño explained adding, “assuming that there is no

huge change in the volume of consumption and the level of price for the rest of the year, we can say that the projected windfall VAT revenues for 2012 is P26 billion.”

Casiño based his es-timates on the February 2012 Dubai crude average of $116/bbl (IMF commod-ity data) and using $90/bbl BESF 2012 programmed Dubai cost.

“Sobrang laki pala talaga ang nakukuha ng pamaha-laan dito sa VAT kaya ayaw ibigay sa mamamayan. Pero nakakalula na talaga ang kita ng mga kumpanya ng langis at ng gobyerno at dapat naman nilang isipin ang interes ng mas nakararami. Kumbaga nga e “they should moderate their greed,” said the progressive solon.

“The Aquino govern-ment should forego this gigantic windfall, which is gained in exchange for the suffering of the people. Consumers need immediate and concrete relief, and the president should listen,” he said.

The estimated immedi-ate reduction in the pump price of diesel if the VAT on oil is removed is almost P6 per liter; almost P7 per liter for gasoline; and as much as P110 per 11-kg tank for LPG.

“Again we demand that marathon hearings should be done to fast track House Bill 2719 to scrap the VAT from oil products and to fast track House Bill 4355 to again regulate the oil industry,” said Casiño.

Exercises...from page 1

“Approximately 4,500 U.S. personnel and 2,500 Armed Forces of the Phil-ippines personnel from all

services are planning to participate in the exercise. This year’s exercise is unique in that it is the first time that Balikatan will include multilateral engagement: an additional 20 participants from Asean and 15 col-leagues from partner nations plan to contribute to the Command Post Exercise (CPX). In addition, 385 lo-cal health professionals will support the humanitarian and civic assistance (HCA) activities,” U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas said.

The scenario includes a response to a large scale natural disaster centered on the Metro-Manila, Thomas said.

“As our military forces train together, our civil and military leadership will practice planning and decision-making during a natural disaster scenario,” he said.

Aside from CPX, the drills will also involve mul-tiple field training exercises, and medical, veterinary and engineering humanitarian and civic assistance.

AFP chief of staff Lt. Gen. Jessie Dellosa said this year’s Balikbayan will be the third humanitarian assistance disaster response-focused bilateral exercise since 2008. He said the exercise are based on the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Philippines.

“The exercise is designed to enhance the AFP and the U.S. Armed Forces inter-operability in the conduct of not only on traditional military training but also on non-traditional aspects that reach out to countries in need of urgent assistance. The activity is conducted every year to serve as a

venue for joint and com-bined training between the Philippines and U.S. militar-ies,” Dellosa added.Securitization...from page 4

Dengue...from page 4

An IP-backed secu-ritization, specifically, a trademark-backed secu-ritization, can be in the form of a 1) true sale or 2) a synthetic securitization. In a true sale, the brand or trademark, together with all the associated risks and market value, is actually sold to a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which can then license it out or re-sell it to another institution. In a synthetic securitization, the trademark is still owned by the originator and the SPV can function as a brand protector and litigator or the entity in charge of col-lecting from existing license agreements. Whether the securitization is a true sale or synthetic, both types of contracts have a fixed term or an expiry date and both types render the intellectual asset bankruptcy-remote as the IP is placed beyond the reach of the originator’s creditors.

ONCE MORE WITH FEEL-INGS: Cecilio Bacolo, 19, and Roderick Soliveres, 28, were the latest proofs that commit-ting crimes---heinous ones at that, such as raping and killing a seven-year-old girl---does not pay. After they were arrested and detained, they were killed, under an excuse which has become almost a cliché in police stories---attempting to wrest away the gun of policemen and trying to escape. This should be a grue-some warning to all!

-ooo-DOTC NOT HELPING TRANS-

PORT SECTOR: Indeed, I cannot understand the refusal of the

lack of standardization in IP valuation, and other risks such as litigation, liquidity, obsolescence of technology and competition.

The inadequate aware-ness on the part of small and medium-sized enterprises also proves to be a challenge in as much as IP owners merely seek protection and monopoly over their cre-ations rather than expand other uses of IP assets.

Nevertheless, IP secu-ritization is an emerging option for many business entities as securitization shifts to a larger, future-income based scope. IP valuation will bring about options that were otherwise not available to businesses.

Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) to even just look at the difficulties being encountered by mass transport drivers and operators in view of escalating oil and gas prices. If drivers and operators are spending much, much more on oil and gas, are they not entitled to collect higher fares so they could at least earn something?

Yes, increasing fares will make life harder for more Filipinos whose only way of mobility is public transportation and, yes, we should avoid doing this. But then, why is DOTC trying to al-leviate the sufferings of Filipinos at the expense of the transport sector, in general, and of drivers and operators, in particular?

This goes to show the intel-lectual bankruptcy of the DOTC, and its outright bias against the public transport sector. While DOTC officials are unable to solve the problem of escalating high prices and the increasing imposibleness of operating a public utility vehicle precisely because of these high prices, they are nevertheless keeping their stranglehold on the transport sector by not allowing fare hikes.

-ooo-WRONG ILOILO DENGUE

PROGRAM: Someone should tell Iloilo City officials that they have it all wrong with their “4 p.m. habit” program to combat dengue. Dengue mosquitoes do not thrive in murky and dirty surroundings. They do thrive in clean water and clear environ-ment. What Iloilo City should do, if it wants an effective dengue campaign, is to read the Bible, because dengue is Biblical (see “Life’s Inspirations” today).
