LIVING IN PARADISE - Balut Island in Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat remains sparsely inhabited. White sand beaches dot the island surrounded by scuba diving and snorkeling sites. MindaNews photo by Bong S. Sarmiento

KALAMANSIG, Sultan Kudarat (MindaNews– One of the best-kept secrets in Mindanao beach lovers ought to explore this sum-mer or anytime of the year can be found in this rustic remote fishing town –at an unspoiled and enchanting island facing the Celebes Sea sparsely inhabited by people. Locals call it Balut Is-land, although it also goes

The unspoiled and enchanting Balut Island of Kalamansigby the name Donauang Island, about an hour away by motorized boat from the poblacion. That gives Mindanao two fantastic Balut Islands, one here and the other in Saran-gani town in Davao del Sur.Unlike Balut Island in Sa-rangani with hundreds of households, Balut Island here hosts only 15 house-holds of Manobo and Tau-sug ethnic tribes living in peaceful harmony. “We have beautiful div-

ing and snorkeling spots around the island,” Datu Kiram Ajijul, village coun-cilor of Barangay Paril, told MindaNews. Scuba divers from as far as Cebu City have gone around the diving sites in the island and found an amazing underwater eco-system, he added. Balut Island, so named because of its egg-shaped form, is part of the Paril-Sangay Marine Protected Area.

With turquoise waters front-ing Balut Island’s stretches of white sand beachfront, swimming and sunbathing are all the more fun as big waves dash towards the coastlines. And the good thing is this: tourists can enjoy the island for free. Yes, no entrance fees. Pitch a tent, grill by the bay and swim to your heart’s content – some of the best things in life are still for free in Balut Island.

THE LATEST investment grade, coming out amid news of unchanged pov-erty and rising jobless-ness, only aff irms that credit ratings are not an indicator of an improving economy.

It also debunks gov-ernment’s claim that the

WITH few days left before the May 2013 midterm elections and candidates in both local and national posts, including partylist groups, are now in the stage of intensified campaign to get the approval, and therefore the votes, of the masses.

Elections have come and gone. But the people’s aspirations remain unrealized: we are still country of deep poverty and exploitation. We remain vic-tims of a rotten system lorded over by exploitative local and foreign elites. But there is hope; it is in us, the people. It is in our unity and collective action. It is in our strength and determination to overcome obstacles. It is the hope that unites us in Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan.

The Makabayan coalition, with its definitive vision for change, believes that the real battle, the real gauge of genuine service, is not during the campaign period but after the elections.

It is deeply gratifying for our coalition that we have leader in our community who expressed their willingness to share in the hope to liberate the people from the oppressive system of governance. These leader have manifested their long – term commitment to adhere with Makabayan’s ten – point basic people’s agenda, which, when advanced in our government, could portend genuine and meaningful change.

On this basis, our coalition proudly endorses the following candidates in the senatorial, partylist and local coalitions:

For senator, we endorse Teddy Casiño, who represents a new generation of Filipino leaders – principled, incorruptible and with a heart for the masses. A consistent voice against corruption and abuse, Teddy is best known for upholding the rights of the poor and marginalized sectors as a three – term party list representative of Bayan Muna. For partylist, we endorse the tried and tested, and genuine voices of the marginalized and underrepresented; these partylists have proven their brand of service to the people, proof of which is the consist top rating of two our partylists Bayan Muna and Gabriela, and all the rest having very good approval of the sectors they represent for delivering quality service:

These partylist groups include Bayan Muna, Gabriela, Anakpawis, Kabataan, ACT Teachers, Piston, Katribu, Migrante, and Akap Bata.

The second nominee of Bayan Muna, lawyer Carlos Isagani Zarate; the first nominee of Gabriela, Prof. Luzviminda Ilagan; the second nominee of Kabataan, Bai Ali Indayla; the third nominee of ACT Teachers, Prof. Mae Fe Ancheta – Templa; the second nominee of Piston, Edilberto Gonzaga, and the second nominee of Anakpawis, Joel Ma-glungsod are from Southern Mindanao Region.

For Davao City Mayor, we endorse incumbent vice mayor Rodrigo Duterte, on the basis of our long history of alliance and shared vision for the welfare of the people; for Davao City Vice Mayor, we endorse incumbent city councilor Paolo Duterte, for his willingness to forward pro – people legisla-tions in the city council;

For Davao City 1st District Representative, we endorse Louie Bonguyan, and for Davao City 3rd District Representative, we endorse incumbent congressman Isidro Ungab, for their commit-ment to bear the people’s agenda in the House of Representatives;

For Davao City 2nd District Representative, we endorse Joji Ilagan-Bian, for her commitment to forge a long – term partnership with Makabayan in order to advance the people’s agenda, particularly on women empowerment and education;

These candidates and partylist groups we are endorsing have manifested their serious effort for the coalition’s ten – point agenda, which gears to empower the people, fight for good governance, develop a pro – Filipino economy, lift the majority of the Filipino from poverty, protect the environ-ment, build fair foreign relations, defend demo-cratic and human rights, promote nationalist and progressive culture, uphold women’s rights gender equality, and advance the peace process.

Our coalition is endorsing these candidates and parylist groups not because they promised to be the messiah of the masses, but because they believe that the masses, when unite in hope and aspirations, are capable of effecting genuine social transformation.

Group endorses Teddy, 9 partylists

Ibon says PH newest credit rating uselessTHE CREDIT rating agency gave the positive rating just days

after the latest official poverty statistics were released, show-ing that the poverty situation was unchanged since 2006.

upgrade is another affir-mation of the economy on the right path.

S&P earlier raised the country’s credit rating to BBB-, the second invest-ment grade after Fitch’s credit upgrade last month.

But while the admin-istration has hailed the

upgrades, research group Ibon stressed that credit ratings only grades the country’s capacity to re-pay its debts to f inan-cial institutions, and has little to do with the actual performance of the real economy.

In fact, the credit rat-ing agency gave the posi-tive rating just days after the latest official poverty statistics were released, showing that the poverty situation was unchanged since 2006.

Government data also shows that the share of ag-riculture and manufactur-ing in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) is steadily declining—mak-ing these sectors a laggard in Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, the econo-my saw record-high unem-ployment figures despite

registering high growth in the last quarters.

Ibon added that his-torical ly, credit rat ing upgrades have never been seen as a measure of an improving economic situ-ation.

In fact, during former President Arroyo’s time, credit rating agencies also gave the Phi l ippines a stable outlook amid soar-ing unemployment, pov-erty incidence, and social unrest.

According to Ibon, the absence of any positive development in the real economy only further af-firms that such indicator is empty and insignificant to Philippine economy, especially in terms of de-veloping the countr y’s productive sectors and improving job generation and people’s welfare.

THE GARMENTS industry is hurting from the increas-ing cost of doing business in the country, particularly expensive labor and power costs.

According to Marites Agoncillo, executive direc-tor of the Confederation of Garment Exporters of the Philippines Inc. (CON-GEP), labor is the highest cost component in garment manufacturing and is also a major factor that influences decisions in investment locations.

At the moment, opera-tions of most members of CONGEP are concentrated in Regions 3, 4A, 4B and 7 where CONGEP is discuss-ing possible wage flexibili-ties with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). If this is approved, Agoncillo guarantees that about 3,000 workers may be employed.

CONGEP is also agree-able to the two-tier wage system that the DOLE is promoting, she said. The system combines a fixed “floor wage” or entry-level wage for new entrants and low-skilled workers, and a flexible wage above this floor level based on worker productivity and industry or enterprise performance. This may be negotiated between the employer and the workers.

During a recent round table discussion on manu-facturing, she also shared the news about a garment firm that “brought in Coach bags” and in the near future, even shoes, because these products use the “same sourcing and manufactur-ing pattern anyway”, she noted.

In fact, this factory has already set up trial opera-tions in Bataan with an initial 500 workers projected

Congep calls for lower labor, power costs to help the garments industry

to grow to 3,500 by the end of the year, she added.

Agoncillo also stressed the need to address smug-gling and high power cost which makes up 15 to 20 percent of a textile com-pany’s expense.

Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, with 3.9% share in the total ex-port receipts, ranked fifth export performer with value posted at $144.70 million in February this year. It slightly went down by one percent from $146.17 million re-corded value compared to February 2012, according to the National Statistics Office (NSO).

Meanwhile, combined garment and textile ex-ports from the Philippines amounted to US$1.74 billion in 2012, down a significant 16.34 percent from the $2.08 billion recorded the preced-ing year.

Overseas shipments of garments fell to $1.57 bil-lion, a decrease of 17.03 percent. Fabric exports dropped 7.26 percent to $170.36 million, said a new industry report from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

The lower export num-bers are also attributed by the DTI report to the appreciation of the peso

and the low utilization of preferential tariff rates by the industry. Exporters are reportedly reluctant to go through the process of ac-quiring preferential tariffs since doing so was

MARAWI City––Poll moni-tors and observers play a vital role in ensuring the credibility of the upcoming May 13 elections.

This was highlighted during the Election Reform Summit held on Thursday at the Mamitua Research Center in Mindanao State University here.

Police Supt. John Rod-erick Morales, deputy for administration of the Lanao del Sur Police Office, said the help and cooperation of all election stakeholders, especially poll monitors and observers, are needed to ensure the conduct of secure and fair elections.

He said even if numer-ous security personnel are deployed in the polling places, it will still be hard to achieve secure and fair elections without the eyes and the voice of monitors and observers.

He thus hopes for more monitors and observers from non-government or-ganizations and private organizations during the elections.

Assemblywoman Samira Gutoc-Tomawis, Autono-mous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) legisla-tive assembly women sector representative, reiterated the same sentiment, say-ing that the gains of the electoral reforms imple-mented in the region will

be re-echoed during the elections through the help of poll watchdogs and in-ternational monitors.

She said the 103rd In-fantry Brigade will also place closed-circuit televi-sion (CCTV) cameras at strategic places to monitor polling areas.

Gutoc-Tomawis added that the reformed ARMM will be tested with the com-ing elections.

Lawyer Michael Ignes, acting election officer of Marawi City, meanwhile re-minded the Citizens CARE or the Citizens Coalition for ARMM Electoral Reform to immediately submit a list of monitors to his of-fice for authentication and issuance of identification cards.

He is now detained at the GLMPS and will soon be turned over to the is-suing court.

Meanwhile, a 31-year old resident of Purok Mabini, Surigao City was cornered by the police on April 29 after almost ten years of hiding.

BUTUAN CITY - With nearly a week before the local and national elections, the city Comelec office has recognized 107.8 Power FM of the Philippine In-formation Agency (PIA)-Caraga as its official radio station.

Comelec recognizes PIA-Caraga’s Power FM as official radio station

By Robert E. Roperos

“As such, the said radio station shall become the official carrier of whatever changes in election-related schedules and activities, of-ficial results and situationer reports,” according to City Election Officer Ernie F. Palanan.

Palanan himself visited PIA-Caraga Office and is-sued a certification, recog-nizing 107.8 Power FM, as the official partner station of Comelec Butuan.

Meanwhile, Palanan said that BEIs and teach-ers on election duties will receive their honorarium fast through their respec-tive bank accounts with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP).

With this, BEIs are en-couraged to submit the nec-essary requirements to the City Comelec Office earlier.

He also said, they are into regular coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to ensure the conduct of a secured and free elec-tion (SAFE), particularly in the conduct of checkpoints in relation to the Comelec

gun ban.“Necessary charges in

court have already been filed by us against gun ban violators,” he disclosed.

This, while consistently informing the political par-ties of the measures being implemented by the Comelec in ensuring smooth conduct of the elections, he stated.

Furthermore, he said that the Precinct Count Opti-cal Scan (PCOS) machines have already arrived and are now stored at the Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU).

Testing and sealing will be on May 5 for those ma-chines to be used in hinter-land barangays, and May 6 for those to be deployed in the city proper.

Palanan then called on the BEIs to proceed to FSUU for the testing and sealing even as he enjoined the po-litical watchers to witness the testing and sealing processes to avoid complaints during the election day.

Only BEIs are autho-rized to operate the PCOS machines during the May 13 elections. (RER, PIA-Caraga)

BUTUAN CITY – Mem-bers of the Regional Di-saster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC-Caraga) have hurdled the Integrated Planning Course Train-ing on Incident Com-mand System (ICS), April 29 to May 3, this year.

Spearheaded by the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) being the chair of the Regional DRRMC, the activity was also par-ticipated in by officers of the city and provincial DRRMs in the region.

OCD-Caraga Regional Director Liza Mazo said the five-day training has somehow enhanced the knowledge and skills of the participants, particu-larly the planning chiefs and unit leaders, in or-ganizing their respec-tive resource, situation, documentation and de-mobilization units.

The training was pre-sented in eight modules by C ol . Mar io-Verner Monsanto of the Davao City Vice Mayor’s Of-fice; Mr. Radny Pabon of

the Amity Public Safety Academy; F/Sr. Insp. Noel Nelson Ababon of the Bureau of Fire Protection (Agdao Fire Station); and Mr. Ryan Castañeda of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

The ICS ensures a systematic and orderly response in time of emer-gencies and disasters . (With report from Jen-ni fer P. Gaitano/PIA-Caraga/Arjay S. Felicilda, member of Mindanao Press Alliance for Sustain-able Development)

Industry...from page 3

expensive.The garment and textile

segment is now trying to improve its overseas per-formance by pushing for the passage of the Save Our Industries Act (SAVE ACT).

The bill, first filed in the U.S. Congress in 2009 and then reintroduced in 2011, is expected to be reintroduced to the Congress this year.

If passed, SAVE ACT would give a range of Phil-ippines-made apparel duty-free access to the U.S.

The U.S. imports 70 per-cent of Philippine garments exports.

The Philippines is also seeking to avail itself of the European Union’s Gener-alized Scheme of Prefer-ences Plus (GSP+), an ar-rangement that will allow countries to get more tariff reductions from the EU market from 2014.

To gain GSP+ status, a country must meet two conditions: the non-diversi-fication of exports and low proportions of EU import, and the ratification and implementation of 27 in-ternational conventions on human and labor rights as well as environment and governance principles.

The Philippines has met the first condition but still needs to comply with the second one, noted the paper.

The DTI said it is cur-rently consolidating docu-mentary evidence on the country’s compliance with the 27 conventions.

Some 18 percent to 20 percent of Philippine gar-ments exports goes to the EU.

“We will get an instant lift if granted the EU GSP+ privilege,” said Agoncillo.

GENERAL Santos City––Saying it could be the country’s “next Boracay,” movie and television celebrity Kris Aquino expressed interest Thursday of putting up an investment in the famed white sand beaches of Gumasa in the coastal town of Glan in Sarangani province.

Aquino, who joined the cam-paign sorties here of administra-tion senatorial bets re-electionist Senator Francis Escudero and Grace Poe, disclosed that she made some inquiries to possibly acquire a prop-erty along the popular beach strip.

The presidential sister said she is presently looking at bringing in a partner to jointly invest in the development of a resort in the area.

“I think we should promote

more the tourism here because you have a beauti-ful airport and beautiful roads,” she said in a press conference.

Aquino hinted that she has been trying to work out an investment arrangement in Gumasa with Escudero whom, she said, has been “looking for some-thing to procure” for his girlfriend, ac-tress Heart Evangelista.

“I’ve been calling some of my friends (to help out) so we can procure that gift for their first year anniversary,” she said.

Aquino said she was immediately smitten by the pristine white sand beaches of Gumasa during her first visit in the last week of January to shoot her birthday episode for her

daily talk show Kris TV.She added she was spe-

cifically charmed with the beauty of the place, the good food and the amiable folks in the area.

Aquino, who spent some time then at the Ro-sal beach resort, pointed

out that it only takes about an hour and 10 minutes from this

city to reach Gumasa and enjoy its natural

beauty.“It’s less hassle to get there than

going to Boracay,” Aquino said, referring to the world-famous Boracay Island in Aklan.

Aquino said it’s been her “dream” to put up a resort project, noting she has found “the opportunity to make it happen in Gumasa.”

“Who knows? I hope it will

become our next Boracay,” she said.Gumasa, which was christened

by locals and visitors as the “Bora-cay of the South,” boasts of natural white sand beachfronts that are lined with lush greenery.

Its clear waters have been popu-lar among tourists for swimming, diving, snorkeling as well as other leisure and adventure activities.

The area hosts seven beach resorts that had been declared by the Department of Tourism as “tourist-ready.”

On May 24-25, Barangay Gu-masa’s seven-kilometer beachfront will take anew the center stage as the main venue of the 8th Sarangani Bay (SarBay) Festival.

Around 70,000 local and for-eign tourists are expected to join the SarBay fest, which is dubbed as the “biggest beach party in the country.”

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess…” (Deuteronomy 28:63, the Holy Bible).

RIGHT, TOURISTS MEAN MORE JOBS: Better employ-ment opportunities, and more regular and stable source of income for Filipi-nos. These, undeniably, are what fancy beach resorts, like those which can be found in the various islands that make up El Nido in Palawan, have been giving to many of our countrymen, especially the natives and residents of El Nido and its nearby towns of Taytay, San Vicente, and Roxas.

Because of this, I hope the Aquino government

Kris Aquino is right: tourists mean jobs

will try to draw in more tourists to places like El Nido and Taytay. In this regard, media personality and presidential sister and probable 2016 presidential candidate Ms. Kris Aquino is absolutely correct, and on the right track. If she can help bring in more tour-ists, as she said in General Santos City the other day, that will mean more work for our countrymen, and she will certainly be fondly remembered for this.

-ooo-AYALA-OWNED EL

NIDO RESORTS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING: If given

the opportunity, Filipinos should aspire to visit the different island resorts in El Nido, especially those owned and operated by Ayala Land Inc. These re-sorts are bound to take one’s breath away, with world-class amenities and first class facilities, as well as pristine beaches unspoiled by mechanical development, and water that is so clear that one can see the bottom of the sea, even if it is colored blue and green. I can say that El Nido beaches are far better than the beaches of Phuket, Thailand and even of Boracay.

HOUSE BET, BATS FOR HIGHER WAGES: On the occasion of Labor Day last May 01, 2013, Cebu City North District congressional bet Junex Doronio vowed to press for significant wage increases for ordinary work-ers, public school teachers, nurses, policemen, soldiers, and other government em-ployees, which he said will be one of his priorities in the event he is elected into the 16th Congress.

At the same time, Do-ronio, a former president of the Journal Employees Union (JEU), also called for the urgent repeal of Article 106 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, which al-lows contractualization of laborers---or the giving of specific periods during which a laborer can work for his employer---which

BECAUSE of too much elections and politics in our newspaper today, I have decided to share some re-freshing and insightful views bout how we live and what we should be doing.

Life is not all work and not all fun. And certainly nor all politics. During these embroiling times, let us not forget to live life, not jus eat and drink and breathe. I sincerely wish this column would inspire you to live life, really.

Today, we have higher buildings and wider high-ways. But shorter tempera-ments and narrow points of view. We spend more time, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time.

Think a minute.Some young children

were asked this question: “What is a conscience?”

A six-year-old boy said he thought it was “the bad feeling you get when you kick girls and puppies.”

A nine-year-old said your conscience is “a voice inside that says ‘No’ when you want to beat up your little brother.”

A guy was giving his friend advice on how to make a decision.

He said: “You’ve got to follow your conscience. It’s like the little man inside you telling you what’s right and wrong. Just do whatever your little man tells you to do.”

His friend answered: “No, that won’t work for me. My little man’s an idiot!”

It’s like the popular song about a person who’s com-mitting adultery that says: “How can this love be so wrong if it feels so right? If

Don’t follow your conscience’

lovin’ you is wrong, I don’t want to be right!”

Our feelings and con-science are NOT always a good guide to show us what’s right and wrong.

Since everyone one of us has the tendency to be self-centered in one way or another, we’ve damaged and confused our conscience.

So we often tell ourselves that certain wrong things are right so we won’t feel guilty about doing them.

A person can be very wrong even though he doesn’t feel wrong or guilty.

For example: Adolph Hitler had 6 million Jews

tortured and murdered just because of their race! But he did not show any guilt for all the evil he did. Does that mean he was not guilty of all those wrongs, just because he didn’t feel guilty?

Of course not! You and I can tell a small lie, cheat on our taxes, school exams or customs duty, or get away with a little stealing. But that does not mean it’s right, or that we will never be caught and punished. The fact is we’re still guilty of doing those wrong things, even if everybody else is doing it.

So because we cannot depend on our conscience

or feelings every time, we need Jesus Christ to be our guide Who can clearly show us what’s right and wrong every day.

Today, even though you have not felt very guilty, you now understand that you are guilty of living your own way.

You know that you’ve done wrong things: wrong thoughts, words, and ac-tions. Maybe they were even things you thought were not wrong because many other people do them.

Yet the good news is Jesus Christ will still forgive you and start changing your life if you let Him.

So why not ask Him to take full control of your life and help you start living His way every day?

It’s the way you can fi-nally have real peace in your conscience, and the satisfaction of living the right, successful way.

Just Think a Minute.

Pointers of the hidden gate

tom Libre Caballero

Thinking it over

We have more knowledge, but less judgment, we have more medicines, but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate to much. We reached the Moon and came back. But we find if troublesome to cross our own street and meet out neighbors. We have

conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.

We have higher income, but fewer morals. These are times with more liberty, but less joy, with much more food, but less nutrition. These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. These are times of inner houses, but more broken homes.

That’s why I propose that as of today; you do not keep

anything for a special occa-sion, because everyday that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit in front of your porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs. Pass more with your family. Eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn’t only survival.

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best per-fume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Take out from your vocabulary phrases like “One of theses days” and “someday let’s tell our families laughter and joy to our life.

Everyday, hour, and min-utes is special and you never know if it will be your last.

CANTILAN, Surigao del Sur ) – A Manobo chieftain who headed an anti-illegal logging group was shot dead early Thursday morning on his way home from a neighbor’s wake. Nokie Calunsag, informa-tion officer of Green Mind-anao Association Inc. said Datu Manuel “Kajugjug” Gardigo, a Manobo chief-tain from Brgy. Agsam in the town of Lanuza, was shot by still unidentified gunmen five times in the different parts of his body at around 2 a.m. Gardigo was chair of the Lanuza-based Kalasag, a group known for its anti-illegal logging campaign in the area and its opposition to the logging concession of Surigao Development Corporation in 2006 until the company’s closure last year. A MindaNews source who asked not to be named for security reasons, said Gardigo was supposed go to the bank with his colleagues Thursday morning to with-

draw an undisclosed amount for a tree-planting activity initiated by the National Greening Program of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Meanwhile, in Prosperi-dad, Agusan del Sur, Sol-diers under 75th Infantry Battalion and Policemen from the Special Action Force encountered more or less 10 fully armed rebels in Road 88, Brgy. Bunawan Brooks, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur at about 12:18 pm last Monday. The soldiers and police-men were on a joint security patrol in the area when they encountered the armed group believed to be from Section Committee 14 of the North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee. The encounter resulted to one wounded on the govern-ment side and undetermined casualty on the rebel side. Col Gregory M Cayetano, Commander of 401st Infan-try Brigade, has ordered the 75th Infantry Battalion to launch pursuit operations to catch up with the fleeing rebels. “Again, we thank con-

cerned citizens in the area who have tipped us off about the enemy presence in their barangay. We highly appreciate their effort to help us round up these crim-inals the soonest possible time. We assure everyone that the information that the people will provide us will be treated with utmost confidentiality”, said LTC Danilo Benavides, Com-manding Officer of 75th Infantry Battalion. “We appeal to the families and loved ones of these rebels to help us in encour-aging them to abandon the armed struggle and return to the folds of the law and to normalcy. For more than four decades now, we have all felt the pain and loss that the armed struggle has brought us. It has never been a solution to our coun-try’s problem. in fact, it has been one of the deterrents to our development and progress. The AFP’s concept of Bayanihan is far better than the revolution’s idea of complete overthrow of our government. In Bayanihan, we are all benefitted, while in armed struggle we are all lossers”, said Col Cayetano.

"Five months of awesome to build a great product." This is the promise of Launch-garage, the accelerator pro-gram steered by incubator company Kickstart Ventures, Inc. and web engineering firm Proudcloud. Launch-garage recently announced the opening of applications from May 1 to 31, 2013, for the second program run, which kicks off in early July and culminates in a Demo Day in November 2013. “Launchgarage guides Philippine startups from the idea stage, to the build, and the launch. We provide much-needed support and resources for early stage startups in the Philippines, helping them find the fast-est, most efficient technical and business solutions, as well as the mentorship and community support that ev-ery startup founder needs,” said Jay Fajardo, Project Director of Launchgarage and founder and CEO of Proudcloud.

Kickstart, ProudCloud open doors to new RP startups

Minette Navarrete, Strat-egy Mentor of Launchgarage and co-founder and Presi-dent of Kickstart Ventures, concurs. "Innovation and entrepreneurship are tough, and startup founders face challenges every step of the way. The Launchgarage program guides founding teams through the earliest, most difficult part of the startup journey, creating the momentum to launch an actual product out into the market, and help it to scale intelligently." The program runs from July 1 to November 30. It starts with each accepted team being handed seed funding of US$30,000 (more than Php1.2 million) as their operating capital, represent-ing Launchgarage's 15% equity in the business. In addition, team members -- called "Garageheads" -- are given hands-on workshops, training and consultation sessions focused on sub-jects, skills and philosophies

ranging from Lean Startup to relevant legal issues and business principles needed to launch and operate a successful venture in the Philippines and the region. Startup teams have ac-cess to various resources from partners and sponsors including Globe Telecom, Amazon Web Services, Ze-ndesk, and the Globe, Ayala and SingTel Regional Seed Network executives. Likewise, teams are ex-posed to a network of men-tors composed of veteran founders, industry analysts, tech business executives, angel investors, and venture capitalists, both from the Philippines, and from other regions around the world. The mentors provide one-on-one advice to the teams to help refine their product and provide valuable insight on direction and viability. Throughout the program, mentors help the teams re-fine their pitch. Each team is given multiple opportu-nities to pitch to a panel of venture capitalists for early critiques and maybe even additional interim funding. The program culminates in a final pitching day in front of venture capitalists, angel investors, and peers. The first batch of Launch-garage teams or Garage-heads ended their f ive month incubation period last April 15 and have all launched products into the market, and have been part of Echelon Philippine Satel-lite 2013. Launchgarage is being run by Fajardo and Na-varrete, together with Chris-tian Besler, Lean Startup Specialist and Commu-nity Engagement Head of Kickstart Ventures; Dan Siazon, Finance Ninja and Finance Head of Kickstart Ventures; and Pia Angeli Bernal, Manager for Social Enterprise Investments of Kickstart Ventures.

Search for Corn Quality Awardees begins

Following the lead of the Agri-Pinoy Rice Program’s Rice Achiever Awards, the Department of Agriculture (DA), this time, launches the first ever nationwide search

for the set of Agri-Pinoy Corn Quality Awardees. According to Larry ER. Paraluman, regional corn program coordinator of DA-10 said, the competition which nearly has P 29 mil-lion prizes at stake is open to all provinces, cities and

municipalities, provincial and municipal corn coor-dinators, and agricultural extension workers (AEWs) part in the implementation of the DA Agri-Pinoy Corn Program. The search, he added, seeks to recognize the achievement of top perform-ing local government units (LGUs) with outstanding contribution to the corn industry; thereby intensi-fying the strong DA-LGU partnership in the produc-tion of quality and safe corn and sustaining awareness of the LGUs to the DA’s initiatives for corn. Paraluman further said that the Corn Quality Awards will commence in 2013 for two cropping sea-

sons. Initially, the search shall grant P3M to the top five provinces and P500,000 to the top 25 cities/munici-palities in terms of infra-structures, farm equipment and machineries, etc. Meanwhile, the top 5 provincial and 25 municipal corn coordinators will each receive P20,000 and P 15,000 cash prize, respectively. Top 100 AEWs, on the other hand, will get P10,000 each. Paraluman also explained that region 10 agreed to the following timeline of activities: April 30, 2013 – submission of letter of intent for those interested; May 15, 2013 – submission of all technical and admin-istrative requirements to the DA-10 office; May 16-30, 2013 – evaluation period by the region; and June 15, 2013 – submission of final nominees to the national steering committee. The awarding rites is slated to be held some time in October of this year. # (Joanne L. Olson, DA-10)

Burglars break into home of Heat’s Udonis Haslem

Sports-2dayJohn Lloyd Cruz says ‘no’ to doing

a sitcom with Sarah Geronimo

Show-bizz

After the box office success of I t Takes A Man And A Woman, John Lloyd Cruz told Push.com.ph that he’s no longer interested in doing a TV sitcom with leading lady Sarah Geronimo.“No. Ako ayoko. Hindi dahil sa ayoko katrabaho s i Sarah, pero more on the business aspect

of it. We’re also aware na hindi naman kami baguhan. We want to protect yung [na-achieve namin] with our movies.” Apparently, John Lloyd just wants to make the most out of their box office team-up especially as It Takes A Man And A Woman nearly reached the 300 mi l l ion-peso mark in t icket sales. The talented actor went on to clarify that “Hindi naman kami nagdadamot,” while Sarah jokingly added, “Siguro kapag mga 50 (years old) na tayo. Hahaha!” When told that he was the one who previously thought of doing a comedy series with Sarah, John Lloyd admitted that he belatedly realized that it’s not

the right project for them for now. “I know. Inisip ko lang nun sobrang random lang. Pero nung pinagaralan ko na. Parang hindi yata.”. At the end of the interview, John Lloyd stated how grateful he was to the Popstar Princess for the success of their team-up as well as their friendship. “Siguro hindi niyo kilala si Sarah. Lagi ko sinasabi yun na I’ve had this privilege of being here with Sarah and knowing her intimately, professionally, as a friend. Hindi siya, pwede sana s iya napunta kahi t kanino… Very vocal naman ako. I just wanted to give her something special. She’s very instrumental kung nasaan man ako ngayon.”

MIAMI (AP) -- Mi-ami Heat forward Udonis Haslem’s home in South Florida has been burglarized, al-though authori-t ies say it’s not clear if anything was taken. Ac-c o r d i n g t o a Broward Sheriff’s Office report re-leased Thursday, someone broke into the house April 13 by prying open a side garage door. Deputies responded after a home alarm activated, but no one was inside when they arrived.

Closets in the house had been ran-

sacked and alarm boxes had been r i p p e d o f f t h e w a l l s . D e p u t i e s say some belong-ings were found in trash bags and o t h e r v a l u a b l e i tems were le f t untouched. Au-thorities surmised that the thieves left hurriedly when deputies arrived.

No arrests have been made.

Thieves also st ruck the home of Haslem’s teammate Chris Bosh in early April, making off with $340,000 in jewelry and other items.

By CARoLYN o. ARGuILLAS

PARANG, Maguindanao (MindaNews) – The Phil-ippine National Police in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) has come up with creative ways to help ensure there is no failure of election, including deploying an all-women provisional company to Lanao del Sur, Chief Supt. Noel delos Reyes, chief of the Police Regional Office-ARMM, said. “One of the innovations we’re doing right now, based on past experiences, is to come up with a provisional all-female company,” delos Reyes told MindaNews in his office late Tuesday af-ternoon. He said based on experi-ences in previous elections, some women were reported to have started the trouble that eventually led to the declaration of a failure of

ARMM to deploy women cops in Lanao elections

election in their areas. “Eh hindi mo naman pwe-deng hawakan yung babae, bawal yan (But [if you’re a male policeman], you can-not touch the women, that’s prohibited) so we are com-ing up with a provisional all-female company,” he explained. He said the all-women team would be about a hundred. They have been identified and are ready for deployment. Delos Reyes said the women will be deployed initially in the Quick Reac-tion Forces which would be moving around on election day. He said experiences in past elections also showed that trouble also ensues when voters deliberately prolong the period for lin-ing up so that the others in the queue cannot vote. When a failure of elec-tion is declared in an area,

a special election will be held at a later date. Another practice in past elections that led to the dec-laration of failure of election was the non-appearance of members of the Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs). To address this problem, delos Reyes said they iden-tified 750 policemen for training as BEI member. They will be deployed on standby in case the BEIs assigned to the precincts do not show up, he said. Delos Reyes said the 750 policemen who will be trained as BEIs will be coming from the neighbor-ing regions – 9 (Zamboanga region or Western Mind-anao), 10 (Northern Mind-anao) and 12 (Southwestern Mindanao which is often refered to as Soccksksargen). Those who will be de-ployed to BaSulTa (Basi-lan, Sulu,Tawi-tawi) will be coming from Region 9;

while police personnel from Region 10 and 12 will be deployed to Lanao del Sur. Records of the Com-mission on Elections in the ARMM as of January 21, 2013 show that of the 1.3 million voters in the ARMM, the vote-richest province is Maguindanao with 439,455 followed by Lanao del Sur with 350,269. Sulu has 249,289; Basilan has 136,383 and Tawi-tawi has 125,084. According to the “Consol-idated Project of Precincts” of Comelec-Maguindanao, Maguindanao has 439,678 registered voters. The ARMM has 7,000 police personnel. But delos Reyes said they need 13,000 forces to deploy and have coordinated with the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He said they have also asked the main headquar-ters for an augmentation force of about 700 police personnel.

“provisional seat” of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao since 1990 but is not a member of the ARMM. Its voting population is 105,975. Isabela City is located in the ARMM province of Basilan. But it voted against inclusion in the ARMM in the 2001 plebiscite. It is supposed to be included in Region 9 but the Comelec lists it separately. It has a voting population of 63,130. Region 12 has a poverty incidence of 37.5%. Cota-bato City’s poverty incidence in 2012 was 41.5% while Isabela was 19.4%. Region 9 or the Zambo-anga region (also refered to as Western Mindanao), has 1,981,427 voters. It is composed of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay and the cities of Zambo-anga, Dapitan, Dipolog and Pagadian. Its poverty incidence is 36.9% as of 2012. Region 13 or Caraga, which comprises Agusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur and the cities of Bayu-gan, Butuan, Cabadbaran, Surigao, Bislig and Tandag, has 1,445,729 voters. Caraga was the poorest region among 17 regions nationwide in the NSCB’s poverty incidence study in

Islam. It’s also best to first co-ordinate with Alijul or the elders in Purok Mangga and register at the visitors’ logbook as courtesy to the locals. Purok Mangga is adjacent to Balut Island and about 10 minutes apart by motorized boat. Purok Mangga, which is inhabited by Tausugs, is itself already a beautiful beach destination with its white sand coastline and the enticing turquoise waters. The purok, and eventu-ally Balut Island, would be easier to access by land once the Kalamansig-Palimbang road is completed. Here, sun-dried dilis (anchovies) can be bought as pasalubong for P100 per kilo (can be cheaper if you’re good in bargaining). It is a must to bring food and water to Balut Island or Purok Mangga,or tent if you’re planning to stay overnight, as there are no resorts or restau-rants. Currently, although there are plans to build cot-tages for tourists in Purok Mangga, the area is a plain unspoiled island paradise. For now, boat ride, which can be rented for P1,500 the whole day, is the most convenient way to reach Balut Island. There is a daily passenger boat that charges P40 per head from the poblacion to

He also reiterated that there’s no excuse if someone doesn’t know these rules by Comelec because information related to/or from elections are downloadable from their site at comelec.gov.ph. “If a public officer works on improving people’s lives, one must follow simple in-structions, which the Come-lec hopes for this election,” Niese stated.

S outhern Mindanao comprises the provinces of Davao del Norte, Davaodel Sur, Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley and the cities of Davao, Tagum, Samal, Panabo, Digos and Mati. Northern Mindanao has the second highest number of registered voters in Min-danao, at 2,458,123. The region comprises Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental and the cities of Malaybalay, Valen-cia, Iligan, Ozamiz, Oro-quieta, Tangub, Gingoog, El Salvador and Cagayan de Oro. Northern Mindanao’s pov-erty incidence as of 2012 was 35.6%. Region 12 or Southwest-ern Mindanao (also referred to as Soccsksargen) has 1,985,062 voters. The region comprises South Cotabato, Sarangani, Sultan Kudarat and North Cotabato and the cities of Koronadal, GeneralS a n t o s , Ta c u r o n g , Kidapawan and Cotabato. But the Comelec record treats Cotabato and Isabela cities separate from the re-gions, owing to their unique situations. Cotabato City, which is contiguous with Ma-guindanao, has been the

2006 and 2009. Its poverty incidence in those years was a steady 43.3%. In 2012, Caraga’s poverty incidence dropped to 34.1%. From the “country’s poor-est,” it is now sixth poorest. The ARMM, whose mem-ber-provinces are Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-tawi, Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao, is now the country’s poorest region, at 46.9% The region was the second poorest re-gion after Caraga in 2006 and 2009. The ARMM now has 1,300,479 voters, down by about 200,000 from the earlier listing. The region’s book of voters was nullified and a re-registration was ordered last year to purge the region of its alleged “ghost voters” or underage voters. The ARMM was referred to in past elections as the country’s “cheating capital.” It served as “reservoir” or “vote bank” for candidates in national polls -- for Senator, Vice President, President and party list representa-tive -- who wanted to win or wanted to improve their ranking.

Just a word of caution though: do not bring pork because there are Tausugs in the island, believers of

Barangay Paril, from where tourists can hire a boat to reach Balut Island less than 30 minutes away. The one-hour boat ride from the poblacion to Balut Island offers a breathtaking view of the coastal villages of the town where rock for-mations and cliffs abound with greeneries. This town is about four hours away from Cotabato City, the closest urban cen-ter, and travelling the long, winding and mountainous road offers yet another spec-tacular experience with the stunning view of the rolling valleys dotted by greeneries. There are daily passenger vans plying the route from Cotabato City at P350 per head. Several lodging houses

operate in the town, charg-ing less than P1,000 per room or P250 per head either way. Cellular phone signal is strong both for Smart and Globe subscrib-ers. Minutes away from the poblacion, there are beaches that tourists can also splurge on like the Santiak and Poral Beach Resorts. Other things to see in the locality are the mini-zoo housing wild animals right close to the municipal hall and the various waterfalls around town. And oh, don’t ever come here without a camera. Sunrises and sunsets are magnificently spectacular back-dropped by the sea. Go and find out. (Bong S. Sarmiento / MindaNews)

he said has been abused over time. He said there is a need to immediately end labor

contractualization, describing it as “exploitative and oppressive”. Doronio noted that with the contrac-tualization of labor, only employers stand to benefit because unions and strikes are literally outlawed as workers who work for only five months or less cannot join unions, even as most of them do not have benefits such as PhilHealth and SSS.

-ooo-“BUSINESSMEN SHOULD MOD-

ERATE THEIR GREED”: Doronio said business owners should learn to “moderate their greed for profit” and appreciate that without the workers, no society can be fully developed. “It is hypocritical for this present Aquino administration to announce that the country’s economy has improved, yet the masses, the ordinary workers, teachers, nurses, policemen and soldiers, cannot say that the quality of their living conditions has also improved,” Doronio said.

Doronio cited a recent study conducted by the Ecumenical In-stitute for Labor Education and Research, in which it was found that a family spends an average of P10,850 monthly for food and non-food requirements, such as rent, electricity, water, transportation, toiletries and mobile phone load.

Doronio said if elected, he would file bills that will ensure full employment without age or gender discrimination, as well as scholarship programs, skills train-ing and talent development for the youth, healthcare for all, affordable and decent housing projects, and support for the micro, small and medium enterprises.
