ANGELES CITY – Another round of rice price hikes afoot?

Plans of the National Food Authority (NFA) to increase its rice selling price to P27 per kilo only to limited outlets would adversely aff ect the poor and only boost sales of higher costing imported rice.

This was the lament of Anakpawis Partylist Rep.Ari-

Rice price hikes seen in new NFA policyel Casilao who, in a statement yesterday, decried the move as “indisputably a degenera-tion of the national food secu-rity brought about by Republic Act 11203 or the Rice Liberal-ization Law.”

“Poor consumers are again to be deprived of the cheaper rice, and they would be forced to procure the pricier commer-cial rice. This is outright vio-lation of the people’s right to

food and food security in the country,” he said noting

Casilao said “the Duterte regime has undermined the country’s food security via the RA 11203, by decoupling the major functions of the NFA. The law prohibits the NFA from retailing rice and the market is totally left to the domination of the private sector.”

“We should seriously note that the lowering of retail pric-

es of rice this fi rst quarter was triggered by the upsurge of NFA procurement, reaching to more than 4 million bags, or about 5,600 percent increase from last year’s,” he noted.

He said that without the NFA’s retailing function, “pri-vate traders will hike their pric-es, as competition that pulls it down has been eradicated.”

Casilao said that under the new NFA policy, its rice would

be sold only to selected agen-cies and local government units.

“We should expect the prices of rice to skyrocket, as the NFA rice exits the retail market. The Duterte regime should be held accountable for tinkering the rice industry to its worse anti-people ori-entation, only to condemn the poor sectors to poverty and hunger,” he said.

IN COMMEMORATION of the fi rst unfurling of the Phil-ippine Flag on May 28, 1898 in Alapan, Kawit, Cavite, SM City Tarlac participated in the nationwide simultaneous event by holding a fl ag cer-emony at 8am on May 28, Tuesday. In an eff ort to pro-mote awareness to the coun-try’s foremost symbol, SM City Tarlac has installed Flags at the major street islands of the mall where they will re-main until June 30, 2019.

“Let’s all set aside all our diff erences, and stop and sa-lute our Filipino Flag,” said Mr. Darrel N. Ramos, SM

MORONG, Bataan – Forty-four passengers, including the driv-er and conductor, were hurt when the mini-bus they were riding crashed into the perimeter fence made of galvanized iron wire of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant and hit a tree along the road here Friday afternoon.

Authorities said 30 were brought to the Morong Municipal Health Center and 10 at the nearby Bagac Medicare Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

As of Saturday, four with fractures either at the foot, arm or shoulder remained at hospitals in Balanga City, police said. Some with minor injuries returned to the Morong center for checkup.

Jayve Gervacio, a passenger, said she came from Manila with her two small children. “Nang sumadsad ang sasakyan, kinober ko ang dalawang anak ko kaya ito tumama,” she said pointing to her wounded nose. She was one of those treated at the Bagac hospital.

“Pababa na ako, pag-apply ko ng preno hindi na gumagana. Tinapakan ko uli tatlong beses, wala, kaya nagdesisyon na ako na ideretso ko kesa sundin ko kalsada. Mabubuwal yon, baba-ligtad,” minibus driver Roberto Pencil, 60, said.

He said that what he thought best was to crash the vehi-cle into a tree. “Kung hindi ko idudumog sa puno, didiretso sa bangin,” the driver said. Pencil has swollen wounded foot and injuries on the forehead and chin. Medical staff at the Morong center attended to him.

The bus was traversing a curve, downhill road towards the Morong Poblacion when the mishap occurred. The portion of the perimeter fence along the road it crashed into is about a kilome-ter away from the mothballed BNPP in Napot Point.

Police Captain Larry Valencia, Morong police chief, said in-vestigation was still going on and that investigators were still checking on injured passengers.

44 hurt in road mishap

ORANI, Bataan -- Two masked men riding-in-tandem shot at close range a former security guard at the side of his residence here at dawn of Monday.

Police report showed that Mike Rosallosa, 32, former security guard, died of multi-ple gunshot wounds from two still unidentifi ed men wearing black jackets and on board a black motorcycle.

The scene of the crime in Sitio Liwanag, Barangay Don-na was being processed by police to determine the gun used and the number of bul-lets fi red and hit the victim.

Ex-security guard gunned down

“Pumasok ang dalawang lalaki at binaril kami. Nakat-akip ang mukha. Walang sa-bi-sabi, maraming putok,” the victim’s live-in-partner Eden Rosallosa said. She was un-hurt in the shooting took place at about 5 a.m.

Eden said her husband used to work as a security guard in a residential area but had stopped. He left three chil-dren. She said she was not in-formed of any threat on the life of victim.

Police Captain Leobaldom Bacon, Orani police chief, said investigation was still going on. – Ernie B. EscondeN A("' M. G")"

CABANATUAN CITY - Kala-boso ang isang 35-anyos na construction worker matapos ituro na siya di-umano ang bu-maril at nakapatay kay baran-gay chairman Beato Pascua ng Ganaderia, Palayan City kamakailan.

Ang suspek na sinampah-an ng kasong murder sa Pa-layan City Prosecutor’s Offi ce ay nakilalang si Carlito Reyes, residente ng Barangay Pula, Talavera, Nueva Ecija.

Ayon kay Police Col. Leon Victor Rosete, provincial di-rector ng Nueva Ecija police provincial offi ce (NEPPO), naaresto si Reyes sa isang

Suspek sa pagpatay arestadosubdibisyon sa Barangay Valle Cruz ng lungsod na ito nitong Miyerkules, isang araw mata-pos paslangin si Pascua.

“Solved na ang kaso da-hil nahuli at nasampahan na-tin ng kaso ang suspek,” sabi ni Rosete. Ayon sa kanya, si Reyes umano ang bumaril kay Pascua gamit ang 9mm pisto-la bandang alas-9 ng umaga nitong nakaraang Martes.

Namukhaan raw ito ng il-ang testigo lalo’t bumalik pa raw sa lugar at nagtanong kung talagang patay na si Pascua. At mula sa nalikhang artist sketch ay nai-match sa rough gallery ng pulisya.

Isang tao rin na nagkataon na nahuli ng Sta. Rosa PNP

ang nagsabi sa pulisya na si Reyes ang pumatay kay Pas-cua.

Gayunman, hindi pa rin na-tutukoy kung sino ang nag-utos o nagbayad kay Reyes na patayin ang biktima. Hindi pa rin nakikita ang baril na gin-amit sa pamamaslang.

Kumbinsido si Rosete na matibay ang kado laban kay Reyes, bagama’t ay wala pang pahayag ang suspek.

Pero giit ng ilang netizen na nanagsasabing kilala nila si Reyes, imposible raw na magawa nito ang krimen. An-ila. isa lang ordinaryong con-struction worker ang suspek at posibleng napagkamalan la-mang ito.

What empowerment?

R"#$%&'( A() N*. 11291

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR A MAGNA

CARTA OF THE POOR

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress assembled:

S!"#$%& 1. Title. – This Act shall be known as the “Magna Carta of the Poor”.

S!". 2. Declaration of Policy. – It is the declared policy of the State to uplift the standard of living and quality of life of the poor and provide them with sustained opportunities for growth and development. It shall adopt an area-based, sectoral, and focused intervention to poverty alleviation where every poor Filipino must be empowered to meet the minimum basic needs through the partnership of the government and the basic sectors.

“…every poor Filipino must be empowered…” Yeah.

By the enactment of the TRAIN Law, and its more vicious phase 2 ironically, aye, sarcastically dubbed TRABAHO Bill that shall further take out whatever morsel left on the poor man’s table.

By opening local employment to the Chinese horde at the expense of Filipino labor.

By controlling the minimum wage to the lowest low, and enabling the rampant rise in fuel prices and cost of prime commodities.

By the greater promotion of mendicancy and indolence with the 4P’s, the subjugation of the poor to deeper political patronage.

By endemic corruption in government. Indeed: “Mahirap kayo? Putang ina,

magtiis kayo sa hirap at gutom, wala akong pakialam.” As that character elected president by the poor shouts back at them.

Early birdsAS YET to hit the ground, so to speak, they are already raring to run, if not actually sprinting.

Not so much out of excitement to fi ll hizzoner’s chair, as to deliver on the promises made during the campaign that – to them – was the real key to their victory.

Giant killer Abundio “Jun” Punsalan – conqueror of returning three-termer Digos Canlas, dubbed “the lord of wetlands reclamation” – has already declared his fi rst executive order: Shut down D’Meters Field, reported as a cattle farm and subject of numerous complaints from the community where it is located.

“Hindi po tama na ang isang bakahan ay nasa barangay. Ang alam ko ang bakahan, rancho yan, dapat nasa bundok o nasa malayong lugar para hindi makaperwisyo sa mga tao.” So was Punsalan quoted in Sun-Star Pampanga, articulating the plaints of his constituency against the farm, from odor most foul to fl y infestation, to respiratory ailments.

And enjoined the company, thus: “Lumipat na po kayo dahil hindi ko na po kayo papayagan diyan. Umalis na lang kayo para hindi na lang po tayo magkasamaan ng loob. Marami na kayong naperwisyo, marami ng nagkasakit kaya nakikiusap ako, umalis na kayo.”

Also, in the immediate agenda of Punsalan is the inspection of all industrial sites along Quezon Road “to ensure that they are compliant with building and environmental codes, among others”.

Among others there presumably had everything to do with the police, NBI, Customs, and BIR raids on warehouses where fake cigarettes and other contraband running to hundreds of million pesos have been all-too-routinely seized.

Lest he be thought otherwise, Punsalan was quick to say: “I am not anti-progress. I am also a businessman and I assure them that they will not be shooed away as long as they follow all the rules.”

Love MagalangThe object of Magalang Mayor-elect Romulo

Pecson’s attention, if not aff ection, are the senior citizens, and health services, particularly to the most indigent among his constituency.

Pecson does not stop at mere compliance of all concerned – pharmacies, restaurants, public utilities, grocery stores, among others – with the 20 percent senior citizen’s discount. His standing vow is to extend fi nancial subsidy to the elderly.

“All of them (senior citizens) will receive regular allowance from the local government,” Pecson declared during a recent News@Hues forum of the Pampanga Press Club at the Park

Inn by Radisson Clark. “Number two (priority action) is we will not

let health centers run out of medicines, freely available to our poor townmates, no matter their political preferences,” Pecson said, lamenting that the administration he unseated held back medical services to those identifi ed with him.

“I saw their management style. That is why I returned,” he said, adding that his coming administration will adhere to their campaign slogan of “Love Magalang.”

Ing MalugudEven as love also permeates the political

atmosphere in Candaba – Ing Malugud (The Loving One) being Mayor-Elect Rene Maglanque’s campaign monicker – it is infrastructure development that is fi rst in the agenda of the incoming administration.

Maglanque is reviving the proposal he already presented to the Department of Public Works and Highways in his fi rst stint at the mayorship in 2013 but conveniently shoved under the rug with his loss in 2016. This is a new road network to Candaba that will bypass traffi c-gridlocked Sta. Ana.

“Kung dadaan tayo sa Sta. Ana ngayon, lalo na kapag Lunes na araw ng palengke nila, aabutin tayo ng mahigit isang oras para makapasok ng Candaba na kung tutuusin ay napakaikling distansya lamang,” Maglanque said.

His proposed road of about seven kilometers length directly links Barangay Pasig in Candaba with the roundabout in Barangay Sto. Domingo in Mexico, accessing San Luis and Sta. Ana towns, the old Gapan-Olongapo Road (Now Jose Abad Santos Avenue) to the City of San Fernando, and the Quezon Road going to San Simon and the North Luzon Expressway. Travel time from the capital city to Candaba is expected to be cut to 45 minutes from the now hour-and-a-half, Maglanque estimated.

The once Department of Transportation and Communications assistant secretary sees his road fruiting to greater developments: “Kapag may bagong daan, kasabay noon ang development. Pwedeng mai-convert into commercial or industrial iyong mga lupa na nakatiwangwang na dadaanan ng bypass road at pwede rin maging residential.”

Very promising. Maglanque and Pecson unexpected to squander the second chance given them by their constituents. Punsalan, though a novato, showing some mettle in besting a seasoned politico.

Worth watching, all three.

ON MAY 28, 1946, Manuel Roxas was inducted into of-fi ce as third (and last) Pres-ident of the Commonwealth having been elected on April 23, 1946. Roxas took his oath of offi ce in a temporary struc-ture built near the ruins of the Legislative Building. Outgoing President Osmeña, following the American tradition, con-ducted him there but left be-fore the ceremonies, retiring to his private residence.

Roxas was sworn in at 9:10, received a 19-gun salute, and delivered an address in which he contrasted the prosperity and happiness of the country before the war with the pres-ent tragic situation.

He declared that during the years of the Japanese occu-pation, Philippine hearts and

convictions had never faltered, that the “Filipinos discharged their debt of allegiance to the United States with a payment of loyalty which was never sur-passed”, and asked the peo-ple to have faith in the justice of America.

“I have faith in the wisdom of our people. I have trust in the goodness of God. Let us to-gether maintain our faith in each other, in liberty and in the ways of democracy, and give strength to one another as we advance in our search for the ever-green pastures of peace and well-be-ing for all. With the help of Al-mighty God, let us build in this our land a monument to free-dom, liberty, and justice, a bea-con to all mankind.”

Early in his speech he mentioned as sources of inspi-

ration the late President Que-zon, “that mighty champion of independence and great friend and benefactor of the mass-es” and the “spotless integrity and noble patriotism” of Pres-ident Osmeña “who grasped the banner of leadership when the incomparable Quezon was taken from us”.

Elpidio Quirino who was in-ducted as Vice President on this same day, was appointed by the President as secretary of fi nance.

Roxas became the third and last President of the Com-monwealth and fi rst President of the Republic of the Philip-pines on July 4, 1946. Quiri-no the fi rst Vice President of the new republic was also ap-pointed secretary of foriegn af-fairs on July 6, 1946.

Delayed prophecies?WARNINGS FROM the various apparitions of the Blessed Mother have been a long time coming. Almost the entire world anticipated something like apocalypse by the year 2000, but nothing happened.

Some prophecies, such as those given to the late Fr. Estafano Gobbi, warned of unfolding by the end of the 20th century, yet despite the increasing number of environmental unusuals, the world seems intact. Only those who keep tabs on video footages of extraordinary happenings on YouTube (not only unusual weather, but mystifying observations such as UFOs in endless varieties, ghostly apparitions, various animals in mass deaths, etc.) have not yet shed vigilance over foretold “end times.”

But God is Divine Mercy. To St. Faustina Kowalska, Jesus said: “I

am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation.”

In the Blessed Mother’s messages to Fr. Gobbi, she stated “Many times have I intervened in order to set back further and further in time the beginning of the great trial, for the purifi cation of this poor humanity, now possessed and dominated by the Spirits of Evil.”

At another time, the Blessed Mother again told Fr. Gobbi: “... thus I have again succeeded in postponing the time of the chastisement decreed by Divine Justice for a humanity which has become worse than at the time of the fl ood.”

To think that the dire prophecies have been shelved altogether it to err against the worsening indications of our times. In the US, God is being erased offi cially in the name of inclusivity. So many things that the world used to regard as morally unacceptable have become standards. Evil has so triumphed that the innocent has to suff er (as when your bag is inspected before entry is allowed under suspicion that anyone, including you, could be criminal).

While a Medjugorje visionary has said that the events of the prophesied “last times” have started, our days so far seem generally still under the scope of Divine Mercy.

Indeed, last May 25 in Medjugorje, the Blessed Mother conveyed the following message:

“Dear children! God permitted me, out of His

mercy, to be with you, to instruct and lead you towards the way of conversion. Little children, you are all called to pray with all your heart for the plan of salvation to be realized for you and through you. Be aware, little children, that life is short and eternal life waits for you according to your merit. Therefore, pray, pray, pray to be worthy instruments in God’s hands. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Let me single out the following important phrase in this message: “...life is short and eternal life waits for you according to your merit.”

That’s dedicated to people who are wont to repeat the phrase “life is short,” but with the implication that one should thus seek as much pleasure in this world as if there is only blank and black after earthly life.

The end times may have began to roll, but Divine Mercy has yet to be lifted, it seems. From Heaven, there call for action to save each other from nonstop damnation in the afterlife.

And then, as the prophecies warn, Divine Justice.

Here, I quote, again and again, the warnings of the Blessed Mother in words so explicitly shocking in her apparition to Sister Agnes Sasagawa in Akita, Japan. If the Queen of the Universe herself can be so candid, I fi nd no reason to censor. Nothing after all can be more important as one’s eternity.

In 1973, the Blessed Mother told the Japanese nun: “As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will infl ict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will fi nd themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.”

CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija – Novo Ecijanos has so much more to off er this week from May 20 until 26, as two SM malls here exhibited locally made products like foods, or-ganic hand-madesoaps, home décors, fashion items from na-tive materials and many others to choose from.

The Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP), in a statement, said Republic Act 11291 or the Magna Carta of the Poor “will not even make a dent to address the ever-growing num-ber of families falling be-low poverty levels.”

“State policies contin-ue to favor the econom-

Magna Carta of the Poor fails to address poverty

and hot as the rest of the country, air-con’d malls (12 of them so far) off er a huge potential tourism jackpot – especially in a province where locals not only take pride in their al-ready established culi-nary reputation, but are so generous as to readi-ly off er visiting guests the plethora of dishes hand-ed down through many lolas, if not lolos.

So last Saturday, the DOT and SM City-Tela-bastagan took concrete steps to realize the po-tential of mall and chef and food, in a mixture cooked to lure more both local and foreign folk to the perfect tandem of malling and eating, feast-ing maybe the aprt term considering the scale of culinary delights off ered.

The SM City-Telabas-tagan’s location is per-fect enough between An-geles and San Fernan-do cities. That’s part of the equation settled; the other part is not as easy, considering the number of Kapampangans seat-ed on culinary thrones. The mention of Chef

Chef Vince twins malling, feasting...F!"# $%&' 1 Vince, however, readily

completed the equation.K a p a m p a n g a n

restaurateur and chef Leonard “Vince” Garcia, if not his dishes, was the highlight of the culinary event that day at the mall.

With the cameras of media trained on him, Chef Vince, on a stage backdropped by a huge TV monitor focused on what he was to cook on stoves and ovens from sponsor UNOX, an-nounced he would fi nish in less than two hours fi ve dishes: Salmon En Croute, Braised Lamb Shank, Seafood Pael-la, Grilled Cajun Chick-en, and Cream Puff Pas-try (caps and lower case planned).

“International dish-es the Cabalen way,” he quipped.

It was as if Chef Vince was conductor of the Manila Symphony Orchestra as his every move – suave and svelte – was obeyed by every ingredient until the fi ve dishes, one after the oth-er, were done and laid on a platter, with a promise the audience would have

taste of each at the end of the concert, rather, cooking.

Meanwhile, other sponsors walled the au-dience with booths that showcased their prod-ucts: Blu Coff ee, La Cim-bali Hida, Le Culinaire, ISCAHM, Mama Sita’s, Philippine Wine Mer-chants, La Rose Noire, Bakels, BlizzardRef, Rainforest Kichene, Vel-vet Ganache, En Croute Cafe, E-derm Centers, Pick&Go Meatshop, The Shots Studios and Quedy Media Web Development and Digital Marketing.

Chef Vince is exec-utive chef of Rainforest Kichene in the City of San Fernando, Velvet Ganache in SM City-Tel-abastagan and En Croute Cafe in Clark.

He is the spirit behind the Chef Vince Garcia Culinary Group whose mission is to act as cat-alyst of the local restau-rant and food-related in-dustry through innova-tive production, distribu-tion, and branding.

The group has its eyes on leading enter-prises that “off er and pro-mote the local culinary

and entrepreneurial tal-ents of Kapampangans.”

Meanwhile at SM City-Telabastagan, Chef Vince did better than he promised. He fi nished the fi ve dishes in less than two hours, to the delight of an audience made famished by the smell and sight of his food. They stood up, in wait for his go signal to taste the fi nished dish-es arranged on the table down the stage.

Finally, small plates were distributed and hungry Chef Vince fans stabbed the dishes with forks to fi nally partake of his food. Between bites, tasters comment-ed “Manyaman.” Some looked at strangers also munching, to ask, “Manyaman ne?” with nods as replies. The questions were not tak-en as search for con-fi rmation, but affi rma-tion of what’s deliciously Kapampangan, regard-less of the dishes being international.

The twin of Pampan-ga malling and eating, okay, feasting, was thus born offi cially.

vow to let their children pursue schooling in the new school year.

Lirio noted that “our city and municipal links conduct house visitations to initiate a purposive dialogue with the chil-dren and their parents or guardians.”

She said that as of last count, there are 224,519 households be-ing monitored by DSWD in Central Luzon and that 96.5 percent of them are compliant with the 4Ps requirements.

“We also conduct reg-ular assessment to iden-tify availability of supply side which are contribu-tory to the compliance of these children. Gaps are

62,789 kids under 4Ps in CL out of schoolF!"# $%&' 1 then lobbied to the local,

provincial and regional committees,” Lirio add-ed.

This, as the DSWD launched the Bata Balik-Eskwela Campaign in time for the opening of classes in Central Luzon.

“The objective of this campaign is to ini-tiate collective eff orts in encouraging school-aged children to attend school,” Lirio said.

Meanwhile, some 3,000 policemen are to be deployed in all school areas in Central Luzon for the opening of class-es on June 3.

At the Oplan Balik-Eskwela regional launching and mid-year media conference of the Department of Education

(DepEd) at Camp Olivas here, regional police in-formation offi cer Lt. Col. Fe Grenas said “police assistance desks will be visible in schools should there be queries for as-sistance and in the case of any eventuality.”

“We are also coordi-nating with local chief ex-ecutives for the manage-ment of traffi c because of the volume of stu-dents that will fl ock roads during the school open-ing,” she added.

Grenas also said “air-ports, seaports and land transport terminals will likewise be monitored for security purposes.”

At the same time, the Department of Pub-lic Works and Highways (DPWH) in the region

has reported “assisting public schools in prepar-ing their facilities in time for the opening of class-es this June.”

“We repainted pedes-trian lanes, particularly those in front of schools, as well as the classrooms and we also initiated veg-etation inside and out-side the school premis-es,” engineer Janet Nero of DPWH regional offi ce said during the DepEd press conference.

“Our engineers con-ducted inspection of the school buildings in ar-eas that were aff ected by the recent 6.1 magnitude earthquake that struck the region, to check on their structural integrity,” Nero added.

ic elite,” the group said, adding that “RA 11291 is a mere codifi cation of what is already suppos-edly being implemented or should be by agen-cies.”

BMP chair Leody de Guzman noted that the new law defi nes the poor as “persons whose income falls below the poverty threshold as de-fi ned by the National

Economic and Develop-ment Authority (NEDA), and those who cannot aff ord their minimum ba-sic needs of food, health, education, and housing.”

“Despite its overarch-ing scope, RA 11291 is a classic case of double-speak. Its ambiguity only highlights its deafening silence on the factors that contributed to pover-ty,” he said.

He cited “the contin-ued practice of contrac-tualization and circum-vention of constitution-ally guaranteed labor rights and the regional-ization and municipaliza-tion of wages in industri-al hubs as the obstacles to achieving the law’s ob-jective.”

“The recently enacted laws such as Tax reform law and the Rice import

tariffi cation law will only exacerbate the misera-ble conditions of those living below poverty lev-els,” he also said.

He also pointed out that the “TRAIN Law has been discovered to have contributed to infl ation by the state think-tank Phil-ippine Institute for De-velopment Studies and the Rice import tariffi ca-tion law deprived Filipino

farmers 95 billion pesos in income as per the Phil-ippine Chamber of Agri-culture and Food Inc.”

“Not unless this ad-ministration veer away from the path of neo-lib-eral globalization and the socially generated value is equitably distributed, the man-made crisis of privation will worsen be-yond Duterte’s six-year term,” he said.

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINESREGIONAL TRIAL COURTTHIRD JUDICIAL REGION

BRANCH 58ANGELES CITY

IN RE: PETITION FOR CORRECTION OF ENTRIES IN THE CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH OF MINOR AISHLENE DE GUZMAN MACAPINLAC,

R-ANG-19-00084-SPANALYN DE GUZMAN FAJARDO, by herself, and as Attorney-in-Fact of ANETTE FRANCO DE GUZMAN,Petitioners,

-vs-

THE MUNICIPAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF MAGALANG, THE CIVIL REGISTRAR GENERAL OF THE PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY (PSA), OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR GENERAL (OSG), OFFICE OF THE CITY PROSECUTOR OF ANGELES CITY, MARLON TAYAG MACAPINLAC and ALL PERSONS WHO HAVE A CLAIM OR INTEREST IN THE PETITION,Respondents.

x----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------xAMENDED ORDER

In their verifi ed Petition dated January 7, 2019, petitioners Analyn De Guzman Fajardo, by herslf, and as Attorney-in-Fact of Anette Franco De Guzman, prays that after due notice, publication and hearing, the Local Civil Registrar of Magalang, Pampanga and the Civil Registrar General be directed the eff ect the correction in the Certifi cate of Live Birth of Aishlene De Guzman Macapinlac in the following manner, to wit:

a. Entry No. 1 – the registered Last Name “Macapinlac” to her mother’s maiden name, “De Guzman”;

b. Entry No. 1 – the registered Middle Name “De Guzman” to “Blank”;c. Entry Nos. 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 – the registered Father’s name

as “Marlon Tayag Macapinlac”, Citizenship as “Filipino”, Religion as “Roman Catholic”, Occupation of “Farmer” and Age at the time of this birth with “26” years, all to “Blank”;

d. Entry No. 18 – Date and Place of Marriage of Parents registered as “July 11, 2002 Mexico, Pampanga” to “Not Applicable”; and

e. Entry No. 20 – Informant registered as “Anette D. Macapinlac” to “Anette F. De Guzman”.

Petitioners state that petitioner Analyn De Guzman is the full-blood sister of petitioner Anette Franco De Guzman. During Anette’s high school years, she met respondent Marlon Tayag Macapinlac. They became sweethearts and lived together. In 2002, Anette and Marlon begot their fi rst child, Stepen carl De Guzman, while Anette was still a minor. She again fell pregnant to their second child, Aishlene De Guzman Macapinlac, when she was already of legal age. Respondent Marlon and his father, Pablo Macapinlac, constantly prodded petitioner Anette to use their surname as the last name of Aishlene. They advised her that she simply make up any date just so she and respondent Marlon would appear to be married on Aishlene’s Certifi cate of Live Birth, the same would show the following discrepancies, to wit:

a. Entry No. 1 – the registered Last Name “Macapinlac” instead of her mother’s maiden name, “De Guzman”;

b. Entry No. 1 – the registered Middle Name “De Guzman” instead of “Blank”;

c. Entry Nos. 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 – the registered Father’s name as “Marlon Tayag Macapinlac”, Citizenship as “Filipino”, Religion as “Roman Catholic”, Occupation of “Farmer” and Age at the time of this birth with “26” years, instead of all “Blank”;

d. Entry No. 18 – Date and Place of Marriage of Parents registered as “July 11, 2002 Mexico, Pampanga” instead of “Not Applicable”; and

e. Entry No. 20 – Informant registered as “Anette D. Macapinlac” instead of “Anette F. De Guzman”.

That the truth of the matter is that petitioner Anette and respondent Marlon are not legally married. The reason for the erroneous information is due to respondent Marlon and his father’s prodding for Aishlene to be able to use their surname and by petitioner Anette’s honest and sincere belief that by supplying details under Entry No. 18, the same is the was for her child to be able to easily use respondent Marlon’s surname. In addition thereto, she wised to spare her child of the specter of public humiliation that she is not a legitimate child and to free her child from being treated as an object of ridicule by her peers.

That since the parents of the minor Aishlene are not legally married and the biological father did not acknowledge the minor as his child in any public or notarized document, Entries Nos. 1, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 should be deleted and/or corrected.

Finding the Petition to be suffi cient in form and substance, the Court hereby sets the case for hearing on June 26, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. Any person interested in this Petition is hereby ordered to appear on said date and time before this Court and to show cause, if any, why the Petition should not be granted.

The petitioners, at their expense, are hereby ordered to cause the publication of this Order once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the Province of Pampanga and Angeles City in accordance with P.D. 1702 before the date of hearing.

Petitioners are likewise ordered to serve copies of the Petition and its annexes upon the Offi ce of the Solicitor General, the Philippine Statistics Authority, and the City Civil Registrar of Angeles City, within seventy-two (72) hours from receipt of this Order.

Let copies of this Order be furnished to the petitioners and their counsel; to private respondent Marlon Tayag Macapinlac; to the Offi ce of the Solicitor General; the Municipal Civil Registrar of Magalang, Pampanga; the Offi ce of the City Prosecutor of Angeles City; and the Philippine Statistics Authority.

KC CONCEPCION says “diet” can also apply to non-food, like getting rid of toxic situations, thoughts, and people from your system.

It is because she pays more attention to her inner life than to her physical appearance.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, May 26, KC writes about what’s important to her well-being, her way of showing others how to feel and look good at the same time.

She says, “Although I love to be surrounded by pretty things, what matters most is what helps you glow from the inside—taking care of your thoughts, soul and body.”

Pointing out that “diet” can also be applied to toxic situations, thoughts, and people, KC stresses, “Being on a diet isn’t always what you eat.

“Doesn’t it also mean eliminating (or at least avoiding) toxic situations, people + thoughts from your everyday life?

“It’s actually simple. What you invest ur energy in, good OR bad, will grow.

“Everyday I try my best to watch what I think, and to stop when I feel self doubt.

“Everyday I try to surround myself with people who make me feel good, not otherwise.

“And I love being around people who I care about and admire.

“Hoping we all make it to living our best lives and get to share our energy wisely!!!”

Of late, the 34-year-old actress/entrepreneur has been focusing on Avec Moi, her own jewelry line.

Early today, May 27, KC has announced in her Instagram stories that after staying for a few months in the U.S., she is back in the Philippines.
