ACCORDING to DSWD-10 representative Daisy Ramos, as early as April 2012, the city was able to turnover houses to IDPs affected by the December 2011 calamity. She said this was the fastest turnover and transfer process ever experienced by the DSWD. Families no longer passed through transitory hous-es but were immediately

transferred to permanent houses, she added.

Ramos stressed that this would not have been possible without the sup-port and cooperation of Mayor Emano and the city government.

For her part, the rep-resentative of Habitat for Humanity Philippines also hailed Mayor Emano and city officials for the sup-

port given, which enabled the city to rise from the calamity.

During the turnover ceremony, Toots Besinga of Gawad Kalinga thanked the city mayor and city councilors for working hard to fac i l i t ate the speedy construction of houses for calamity vic-tims in Cagayan de Oro. (LCR)

axy/Camacawan road and along the old road.

According to baran-gay officials, there are illegal parking viola-tions such as double parking and overnight parking along the old road from the junction portion of the old road and national highway up to the gasoline station. Dumptrucks, ten-wheel-er trucks, delivery vans, PUJs and even trail-ers have been parked

for a number of weeks ignoring the “No Park-ing” signs installed in the area.

This has reportedly caused much trouble to motorists as the road has become too nar-row endangering the lives and limbs of the pedestrians, the resolu-tion cited.

In addition to this, ba rangay o f f i c i a l s claim that early warn-ing devices to caution passing motorists and pedestrians are not be-ing installed and that drivers and operators repetitively park at their own whims and caprices not minding the immi-nent danger that their vehicles has posed to the community and the irreparable damages that it may inflict.

It was learned that barangay officials, mem-bers of the barangay police and Karancho, an organization of mo-torists, have undergone seminars regarding traf-fic rules and regulations.(APD

IMPORTANT bills on governance, money laundering, and taxation approved by the Philippines’ two legislative houses in their 15th Congress were some of the bills signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III over the past three years, reports Acting Senate Secretary Edwin Bellen. On good governance and anti-corruption, Republic Act No. 10149-or the GOCC Governance Act of 2011-was approved by the President on June 6, 2011. The law creates an oversight body to advise, monitor, and supervise government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) as well as formulate and impose sanctions on erring GOCCs and their of-ficers. GOCCs are also mandated by this law to comply with the full-disclosure requirement, Bel-len said in a presentation at a forum organized by the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines early this month. Meanwhile, the Anti-Money Laundering Law, or R.A. No. 9160, was amended during the 15th Congress to increase the investi-gative powers of the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC). R.A. No. 10167, signed into law June 18, 2012, amends sections 10 and 11 of R.A. No. 9160 to en-able the AMLC to probe deposits, investments, or accounts that are

suspected of being used in money laundering activities. It also allows the freezing of monetary instru-ments or property for probable cause. R.A. No. 10365, enacted Feb-ruary 15, 2013, is another anti-money laundering regulation, which expands the list of enti-ties required to report financial transactions to the AMLC. Now on the list are pre-need companies, money changers, real estate agents, and dealers of precious stones and metals. The law likewise enlarges the scope of money-laundering crimes listed under trafficking in persons, bribery, counterfeiting, fraud and

other illegal exactions, forgery, malversation, environmental crimes, and terrorism and its financing. Relatedly, R.A. No. 10168, or the Terrorist Financing Act signed June 18, 2012, reinforces the fight against terrorism by outlawing and penalizing the financing of terrorism. Bellen added that under this law, the AMLC is now authorized to investigate the property or funds of persons suspected of financ-ing or engaging in terrorist acts. The Sin Tax Law, or R.A. No. 10351, signed December 20, 2012, increases the excise tax on alcohol and cigarettes beginning January

1 this year. Bellen said the law will help gener-ate funds for the governmentâ€™s health-care program and provide assistance to local government units. Most recently, the President signed on March 7, 2013 R.A. No. 10374, which exempts foreign carriers operating in the country from paying the common carriers tax and gross Philippine billings tax in a move seen to boost the global competitiveness of the country’s aviation and tourism industries. Bellen’s talk also touched on the national budget allocation for 2013, “an important tool to pump

economic growth, especially now that the administration is talking about inclusive growth.” Congress approved a P2-trillion budget for this year, with two departments-education and public works and highways-given the biggest allocations. The education department re-ceived P293.32 billion since “Con-gress has recognized the impor-tance of education in nurturing the youth,” said the official. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) was given a P152.4-billion bud-get “to strengthen our system of roads and bridges, some of which have taken the brunt of natural calamities,” he continued. “Infra-structure development supports the requirements for commerce to grow and government’s obligation to its taxpayers.” For the third straight year, Mindanao got the biggest slice of the government’s infrastructure budget at P27.6 billion, or 26 percent of DPWH’s infrastructure funds. To date, 288 bills are wait-ing for approval by President Aquino, including the freedom of information bill, amendatory law on the Insurance Code, and the bill on infusing foreign eq-uity in rural banks, Bellen said. The 15th Congress adjourns on the first week of June this year. -- Mel Ascutia, PHILEXPORT News and Features

Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Jesus died, He was buried, the women wept. Where, then, is our hope? It rests not on Good Friday or in the long hours of that lonely Saturday. Our only hope may be found in what happened early on Easter Sunday morning. If Jesus was nothing more than a man, then we have no hope at all. And our dreams of immortality are just that – idle dreams. But there is good news from the graveyard this morning. There’s an empty tomb in the cemetery. It’s the tomb of Jesus Christ. He died on Friday af-ternoon, they buried him on Friday evening, and by

II Timothy 1:10b “but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Sav-ior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immor-tality to light through the gospel”. Who is afraid of death? Of all the fears that rule the hearts of most men, no fear is greater than the fear of death. We know how to kill but we don’t know how to die. When we face the prospect of our own death, we don’t know what to say or what to do. People say that nothing is certain but death. We cannot avoid death or put it off. When your time is up, your time is up. This is a subject we’d rather not talk about, es-pecially on such a happy occasion. But if we can’t talk about death on Easter, when can we talk about it? The very essence of this day is a celebration that one man has slipped through

The death Jesus died for you

the grave and come back to tell us about it. Death could not hold him. And now he holds the keys of death and hell. If death has been abol-ished, why do we still die? I think the most obvious answer is that we die be-cause of sin. Romans 5:12 tells us that death came to the world because of Adam’s sin. First there was Adam, then there was sin, then there was death. Sin always leads to death and as long as sin exists in the world death will never be very far away. How certain is the fact of your death? So certain. Let’s pause to consider the bare facts surrounding

Sunday morning his tomb was empty. This is God’s good news – that death could not hold him, that the grave could not keep him, that he is the Lord of life, the King immortal and eternal. How did he destroy death? He could only con-quer death by entering the realm of death, unlocking the door, and marching out on Easter Sunday trium-phant over the grave. He died like we die. He was really dead, actually dead, completely dead. He wasn’t partly dead or mostly dead. He was as dead as any person could be. And from that state of death God raised him back to life. He himself walked into that dark valley alone. He faced cold death and looked into its awful face. He stared down death, broke its power, and walked away victorious. One day death will die! O God, let that day come soon!

SA miaging semana, atong nakita sa usa ka television station dinhi’s dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro ang nagpungasi nga political ads ni Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno.

Mibutho dayon ang mga pagduda nga kabahin sa gibayad sa nahisgotang television ads ang gikan sa PhP193 milyones nga casgh advances sa kapi-tolyo, o kaha kabahin sa P150 milyones ka pesos nga kunohay nawalang kinitaan sa MisOrtel.

Dako ang commission mao nga na-short sa pag-ka-on. Bisan ang ginsakpan sa media nga mi-cover sa maong kalihokan, wala naabti sa pagka-on. Kung duna man ugaling taga-media nga nakaka-on, kadto rang dool sa ilahang dughan. Pastilan, kagrabe gyod diay sa panapi diha sa kapi-tolyo, no?

TRAVERSING THE TOURISM HI-WAY

by: PED T. QUIAMJOT

What has happen to our cityCRIMINALITY on the rise? Travelers are alarmed by the series of events pulled from Police report that dampen human spirits and strike fear of safety to our citizens. It reminds us of a famous line uttered by the illustrious son of Misamis Oriental, the late Vice President Emma-nuel Pelaez who was in the brink of death after he was ambushed and wounded in the streets of Manila in the late 70’s. Criminal activities are no longer confined in the big cities of the National Capital Region but have gone to as far as the corridor of a friendly city that is now poised to equal if not sur-pass the crime rate of bigger cities in the metropolis. From our deep slumber we would like to think and

welcome bearer of good news instead of sensational crime stories in the local dailies and radio flash re-ports. Time is fast changing with the economics and population of our city that has not been prepared and strategized as growth comes. We allowed dark alleys and overcrowding of city dwell-ers with informal settlers’ crowding every corner of a vacant public space. Mendicancy and begging are tolerated even in the perimeter of church yards, major road intersection and the vicinity of public build-ings. Disorderly situations and lack of jobs contribute to criminality. With no immediate and firm solutions to the series of crimes that hit the city,

children may be forced to imagine the arrival of the Power Rangers intervening to fight the Predators or old folks resort to prayers for divine intervention never mind if there is a saying that goes this way, “man has to do his best and God will take care of the rest”. Do we really need those teeny bop-pers’ characters in our midst to fight criminality or have we done our best effort to prevent crimes? The sporadic incidents reported in the

local newspaper headlines points to a breakdown of peace and order. It is not an isolated incident but it now appears as a daily grind that cowered the innocents and disturb the business community. Criminality strike fear among helpless citizens and the travelling public. Much more drive away invest-ments especially if foreign nationals are the victims. It

MARAWI CITY - Stake-holders from several sectors, including peace advocates in the municipality of Kapa-tagan, have renewed their commitment to peace by entering into a covenant last March 18.

The covenant calls for the continuous unification of Muslims and Christians, reconciliation of tribal and family differences and re-spect for the different cul-tures and traditions for a

peaceful and progressive Kapatagan.

The renewal of com-mitment marked the town’s 11th anniversary of being a peace zone.

Barangay Daguan was the first to be declared as a zone of peace in March 18, 2002. The declaration was later expanded to cover the other 14 barangays of the municipality.

Municipal Mayor Nhaz-ruddin Maglangit said the

declaration was made pos-sible under the leadership of his wife and former town mayor Raida Maglangit, now a commissioner of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF).

He said the town was dubbed as a "No man's land" 10 years ago because it was plagued by armed conflict and clan wars. He added that there was only one school and mosque left then in Barangay Daguan.

Today, the town is thriving with improved infrastructure facilities and livelihood projects.

Police Senior Insp. Bar-lowe D. Espiga, Kapatagan chief of police, said the town has also obtained a zero mortality rate when it comes to rido (family feud) because disputes were settled immediately.

Reports reaching the Mindanao Star Daily said the penitents, led by Fr. Amalla himself, were at the fourth station when fired upon by the rebels.

Accusing the NPAs to have disrespected the so-lemnity of the ceremony, Fr. Amalla asked, “why do they attack us?”

One CAFGU member, who was part of the govern-ment force sent to secure the said religious activity, died in the attack.

“We pray for the soul of our soldier, who died while protecting us,” Fr. Amalla stated.

For his part, Lt. Col. Potenciano C. Camba, com-manding officer of the 3rd Special Forces Battalion, Philippine Army, com-mented that it was not the time and place for fighting.

“We were there to ob-serve the season of lent and to pray for peace,” he said even as he sent out

Siya nagtoo nga misin-formation ang nadawat sa kaparian, ilabi na kabahin sa isyu sa IDPP.

Sayo pa niana, gipasabot sa mayor nga wala’y igong pundo ang siyudad sa pag-

Ac-tivities will involve the ex-ecution of the Responsible Mining Act, strict monitor-ing and evaluation of illegal mining activities; appre-hension of illegal miners, as well as the planting of giant bamboos along seven major rivers and five creeks in the city, among others. Also in line with disaster mitigation and prevention, the CDRRMC will work on the development of hazard mapping assessment and monitoring and vulner-ability assessment of the city’s 80 barangays. The Power learned that priorities this year also in-

reinforcement troops to the area to track down the attackers.

Wh i l e gove r n m e nt troopers were exchanging gun fires with the rebels, the penitents continued to the 14th station, saying “the NPAs cannot stop us from praying because we know that God will always be there to protect us.

is retrogression to business because crime is a disease which adds costs to security and endangers human lives. We still have to hear a marching order from those who are in-charge directing the Police to capture and bring to justice the perpetrators. In Davao City, the marching order is capture and punish. Criminals are given 24 hours to surrender or get out before they are dead. A city government with unaudited intelligence funds and direct Police supervision should be made accountable to the public for this rush of crimes. Have they exhibited their visibility and lend their multimillion discretionary funding to help the Police effort prevent and find the solutions? Fighting criminal-ity for our elected officials is winning public support. Their lack of sincere actions or the absence of it deserves public

alienations because peace and order are the joint effort of those who enforce the laws and those who created them. Do we need new heroes in our time to breathe augurs to our drive for an orderly city? The public is aware that it is an election period, campaigns and accommodations are the priorities of those who govern many are now running to keep their post. The more that that they should be sensitive to public issues and act according to their sworn oath of protect-ing and serving their citizens. The late Arsenio Lacson, a former Congressman and erstwhile Mayor of Manila in the early 60’s use to walk in the streets of Manila in the even-ing with the foot patrol of the Manila Police Department to have a grasp of peace and order. Ramon Magsaysay when he was still the Secretary of National Defense before being elected as the 5th President of the Philippine Republic visits far flung villages in Central Luzon to reach out to the leaders of the Hukbalahap movement to convince them to return to the fold of the law by offering land reform beneficiaries to the com-munist rebels. Those were the leaders whose contribution to achieve peace and order mat-ters most to our elders even if in their times the “intelligence funds” were not yet invented.

WHILE political aspirants in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao have started campaign activities, the health department in the ARMM, also started its own campaign - campaign to address maternal and infant health care needs in far flung communities. The Department of Health in the ARMM have deployed 68 more midwives to Lanao del Sur as part of the agency’s Midwives in Every Community in ARMM (MECA) project. Dr. Kadil Sinolinding, Jr., DOH-ARMM regional secretary, said the MECA project will help address maternal and infant care needs of villagers in far-flung areas in the autono-mous region. ARMM is composed of the provinces of Maguin-danao, Lanao del Sur and the island provinces of Basi-lan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi, and the cities of Lamitan and Marawi. “Under the ECA Project, midwives were trained to provide basic health ser-vices, including care of

pregnant women, infants, and lactating mothers,” the DOH-ARMM regional health chief said in a state-ment. In November last year, the DOH-ARMM has hired and deployed more than 300 midwives to communities in the five component prov-ince to attend to the health needs of Moros living in remote villages who could hardly go to town centers for their medical needs. Sinolinding said hsi of-fice will continue to hire registered midwives to help prevent maternal death and help mothers come up with healthy babies. What is unique in the MECA project, according to Sinolinding was that DOH-ARMM midwives will have to reside in the com-munities where they serve to effectively implement the government projects. Aside from their basic duties as midwives, these health workers will also educate women and moth-ers on the reproductive health. (PNA) DSP/NYP/EOF

more than 370 candidates for the May 13, 2013 elec-tions in Misamis Occiden-tal during the recent Peace Covenant Signing initiated by the Provincial Joint Security Control Center (PJSCC). Foremost in the cov-enant was the commitment by the candidates in the congressional, provin-cial and municipal level to abide by all election laws, rules and regula-tions promulgated by the Commission on Elections (Comelec). The Covenant also asked the candidates to commit to the following: To conduct a high level campaign, explaining their program of government, qualifications, reasons for seeking public office and provide the people with accurate information that will help them assess the candidates’ fitness for public office. To treat their opponents as they would want them to treat the candidates and

to campaign on issues, only, and that character assassination and false promises will not be part of their strategies. To refrain from using guns, goons and gold to win in the elections and to strongly admonish their followers and supporters to desist from using vio-lence, deceit and fraud and other unfair and dishonest practices to ensure their election. To remember always that as God’s steward on earth, they must promote Safe, Clean and Healthy environment and a un-equivocal reverence of life and to refrain from imploring methods that would thwart and subvert the will of the people and endanger the sanctity of the ballot. To avoid any and all illegal drug business, all forms of illegal gambling, extra judicial killings, vote-buying and any form of cheating in the elections, exorbitant campaigning

and to abide by the deci-sion of the majority and be magnanimous in victory and grateful in defeat. With Burdeos to wit-ness the signing were the Election Officers (EOs) of the different LGUs of the province led by Atty. Stalin A. Baguio, Provincial Elec-tions Supervisor (PES) and Archbishop Jesus Dosado of Ozamis, represented by Rev. Fr. Arnold Daplin of the Holy Rosary Parish. Also present were P/Sr. Supt. David Umbao, deputy regional direc-tor for Operations, Phil-ippine National Police (PNP), Region 10; Brig. General Felicito Virgilio M. Trinidad, asst. divi-sion commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Phil-ippine Army (1ID,PA); and Lt. Col. Rommel B. Almaria, commander of the 55th Infantry Bat-talion (55IB), represent-ing the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). (RCAguhob/PIA10-Mis-amis Occidental/jdelpf)

Cu has been the driving force be-hind the success of Globe, sustaining the company’s momentum with record-high revenue growth and increased number of subscribers in 2012. For his sterling performance as CEO last year, Cu was named CEO of the Year (Service Provider) by global business research and consult-ing firm Frost & Sullivan in its 2012 Asia Pacific ICT Awards. Globe Telecom on the other hand was named CNET Asia Readers Choice Awards’ Best Telco in the Philippines, as well as Frost & Sullivan’s Philippines Telecom Service Provider and Broadband Service Provider of the year.

For the past two years, Globe has attributed the success, growth, and undisputed leadership of its postpaid business to My Super Plan.

Lastly, Globe, through its flagship corporate social responsibility (CSR) program Globe Bridging Communities (BridgeCom) is also shortlisted in the Best Community Telecom Project Category. Globe BridgeCom, the company’s multi-awarded CSR program has been providing significant contribution in addressing issues involving the marginalized sectors of the country through its five advocacies—good governance, excellence in social services delivery, entrepreneurship, environment and sustainability, and active citizenship through volunteerism.
