In its weather advisory issued at 10 in the morning yesterday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pag-asa) said the LPA was estimated ––based on satellite and sur-face data––at 860-kilometer East of General Santos City.

If it will develop into a tropical depression, it will be the first typhoon to hit the country in 2012––and

THE House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading a bill imposing life imprisonment to people engaged in illegal logging in the country.

House Bill 5485, authored by Rep. Rufus B. Rodri-guez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City) shall provide protection, rehabilitation and sustainable management of the country’s forests.

Under the proposed Sustainable Forest Management Act of 2011, harvesting, gathering or collecting timber or other forest products from any forestland with a mar-ket value of more than P500,000 and without authority from the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will be declared illegal punishable with life imprisonment.

Rodriguez said any person who shall buy logs, flitches and lumber from economic saboteurs and use them in government infrastructure projects will also get life imprisonment.

THE government’s weather bureau is keeping a close eye on the new Low Pres-sure Area (LPA) and wind convergence that is affecting Southern Mindanao and eastern Visayas.

will be named as “Typhoon Ambo,” said Pagasa Admin-istrator Nathaniel Servando.

These weather systems will bring mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain-showers and thunderstorms over Visayas and Mindanao becoming cloudy with wide-spread rains over Eastern and Southern Mindanao which may trigger flash-floods and landslides.

On one hand, the Philip-

pine Coast Guard, District of Northern Mindanao (PC-GDNM), has directed all its detachment command-ers to take more proactive measures before the onset or during severe weather conditions.

This was explained by Commodore Elson Her-mogino, PCGDNM Com-mander, who said one of these measures include forewarning, notifying or recalling fishermen to return to base after a gale warn-ing has been issued by the Pag-asa.

“The PCGDNM is do-ing this, to ensure a high state of preparedness in its respective stations, detach-ments, operational units and

disaster response assets,” Hermogino said.

He said the PCG detach-ments are always reminded to make sure that their sta-tions, promptly initiate and encourage public informa-tion dissemination through the use of tri-media and the local government units (LGU’s) to warn the coastal residents and local fisher-men.

To prevent untoward incidents, al l districts are advised to remind all the shipping agencies to strictly follow Headquarters PCG Memo 01-09 or the Guidelines on Movements of Motorboats/Vessels in the Absence of Weather Bulletin and HPCG SOP

No. 002-09 on the Interim Guidelines on PCG Alert Condition/Levels.

Meanwhile, he said fish-ing boats and other small sea crafts have been advised not to venture out into the sea while larger vessels were alerted against big waves, after PAGASA issued Gale Warning No. 60, on Dec. 31, 2011.

The Office of Civil De-fense (OCD) in Northern Mindanao has warned the public and the local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (DRRMC) concerned to take appropriate precautionary measures to help mitigate the effects of this weather system.

VICE President and Hous-ing and Urban Develop-ment Coordinating Council (HUDCC) chairperson Je-jomar C. Binay ordered the National Housing Authority (NHA) to fast-track the provision of housing assis-tance to families affected by storm Sendong in Cagayan De Oro (CDO), Iligan, and Dumaguete.

The NHA is coordinat-ing with concerned local government units (LGUs) as well as other government and private sector organiza-tions on plans to provide houses to affected families.

BUTUAN City––Kung ‘information techmology’ dinhi sa Mindanao ang hisgotan, walay makalu-pig sa Butuan City Police Office (BCPO), sumala sa napanid-an ni Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr.

Karong bag-o, gisugdan paggamit sa BCPO ang ‘electronic blotter’, isip kabahin sa Crime Incident Reporting System (CIRS).

Subling pagbaha sa Vismin angay pangandaman: Pag-asaulan base sa low pressure area (LPA) ang namatikdan diin dunay gikusgon nga 860 kilometros sa sidlakang bahin sa dakbayan sa Gen-eral Santos.

Milihok na usab ang panagkurambos sa makusog nga hangin didtong dapita sa sidlakanon nga bahin sa Bisayas.

Tungod niini gipahi-mangnoan sa Pag-Asa ang mga residenteng ana sa makuyaw nga lugar o dapit nga pangandaman ang posebling kalit nga pagbundak sa makusog nga ulan nga maoy hinungdan sa pagbaha o sa pagdahili unya sa mga yuta ilabina sa Bisayas ug sa Mindanao.

Sa pagka karon ang National Disaster Risk

Reduction and Manage-ment Council (NDRRMC) nagpahimangno na nga kinahanglan mag-alerto gayud ang mga lokal nga pangagamhanan kabahin sa atong nasinate nga da-utang dagan sa panahon karong panahuna ilabina sa Bisayas ug Mindanao.

Sigun sa pamahayag ni NDRRMC executive direc-tor Benito Ramos, matud

pa gipahimangnoan na nila ilabina ang mga lugar sama sa Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, Saran-gani province ug ang mga kasikbit nga mga lugar aron sa pagpangandam sa pagbundak sa makusog nga ulan ug sa pagdahili unya sa mga yuta nga gikan sa bukirang bahin niini.

Nagtoo usab si Mayor

Amante nga kini makata-bang kaayo “sa kapolisan sa pag-implementar sa kahapsay og kalinaw sa atong syudad.”

Samtang si PDG Bar-tolome mainiton kaayong nagpasalamat nga ang BCPO nakadawat kanun-ay og suporta gikan sa gobyerno sa dakbayan, sama sa computers, multi-purpose hall ug uban pa. (uban sa report nila ni Sat Calooy ug Jennifer Michelle Divinagracia, CMO-PIO/OIC)

ShelterBox is an interna-tional disaster relief charity organization specializing in emergency shelter which provides life-saving supplies to families around the world who are adversely affected by disasters at the time they need it most.

It has responded to earthquakes, volcanic erup-tions, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, conflicts and other emergencies; pro-viding shelter, warmth and dignity following more than 150 disasters in over 75 countries.

Through its local affili-ate, ShelterBox Philippines Foundation, Inc. (SBP), it has deployed to date 3,722 Disaster Relief Boxes to about 38,000 victims dis-placed by typhoons in the past three years offering shelter; warmth; comfort; and dignity at a cost P160 million in disaster areas in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Benguet, Pangas-inan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Isabela, Rizal, Bicol, Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro City.

ShelterBox helps house Sendong victimsCAGAYAN de Oro City––ShelterBox Inter-national is deploying shelters for families in Iligan and Cagayan de Oro rendered homeless by the recent Sendong calam-ity with the help of Rotarians and other volunteers.

Governor Fe “Bing” Juarez, a member of ShelterBox Philippines Inc. Board of Trustees, said the organiza-tion contacted Rotarians for the ocular inspection of the affected areas following ShelterBox International’s call to its affiliate chapters based in the United King-dom, Australia and USA.

“Rotarians from both cities briefed SBP Chair and Founder PDG Jesus Nicdao and PP Abner Tayco, a member of the ShelterBox Response Team (SRT), on the situation on the ground and toured them to the affected areas and various evacuation centers,” Ms. Juarez said. “Right away, they committed to deploy shelter boxes in a govern-ment designated area in Tambo Bus Terminal area in Iligan City and immediately delivered 80 ShelterBoxes on December 23 for this purpose.”

Rotary District Governor Nominee George Hamoy reports that 60 tents are now up and occupied by qualified beneficiaries at the Tambo Terminal ShelterBox Village

in Iligan City. Volunteers from the Philippine Army, Rotarians and Rotaractors will continue to complete installation of the 80 tents on site, he added.

“The assistance we have had from Rotary has been invaluable here,” said PDG Nicdao. “It is possible for Abner and me to set up the tents ourselves but it would have been a much slower process. Now that we have shown the Rotarians how to do it, they will be able to help us set up camps rapidly. This will allow families who have lost everything to soon begin to rebuild their lives, offering them shelter, warmth and dignity.”

Though Rotarians were taught how to assemble the tents, their participation has been limited to support, like providing provisions for the Marines/Navy, student ca-dets and Police, PDG Juarez said. RC Club of Cagayan de Oro (Mother Club) Presi-dent and City Councilor Ian Mark Nacaya and PE Mar Paano are in charge of supervising the area.

As of January 1, 2012, some 317 ShelterBox tents of 409 units delivered aboard BRP Bacolod City on De-cember 20 have been de-ployed with the assistance of the 73rd Naval Reserve Group, 8th Marine Brigade under 1L.t Tito Ranara;

Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO) ; Philip-pine Navy, student cadets from Capitol University and Rotarians from various clubs in Cagayan de Oro at the 3.5 hectare ShelterBox Village in Sitio Calaanan Phase 2, Barangay Canitoan.

The DWSD said the Ca-laanan relocation site can accommodate up to 1,900 homeless families displaced by Sendong but the number of tents to be put up depends on the space available in the 3.5 has. relocation site.

SRT volunteer Abner Tayco said: “The evacua-tion site conditions are so unbearable, like the one in Macasandig Basketball

Court where there are 2,521 families. You cannot move to the other side without step-ping on someone’s sleeping mat, it is so dense. Children are the ones most affected.”

Joining the team last De-cember 31 was SRT volun-teer Arnold Kelly from New Zealand who has deployed to the region before. Arnold said: ‘The Philippines can certainly throw up chal-lenges for us in all aspects of our job.’ Arnold will be assisting with the ongo-ing needs assessment and delivery of aid in the area.

At the heart of every ShelterBox is a disaster relief tent for a large family. It is custom made for ShelterBox by Vango, one of the world’s leading tent manufacturers, designed to withstand ex-treme temperatures, intense UV light, high winds and heavy rainfall.

“Internally, each tent has privacy partitions that allow recipients to divide the space as they see fit,” PDG Nicdao said. “Our tents become more than simple shelter, they become homes.”

“Although ShelterBox has been deployed to the Philippines eight times in the last five years after sev-eral typhoons, this is its first deployment in Mindanao,” Ms. Juarez said. “These tents are ready for occupancy,

According to its website http://www.shelterbox.org/index.php, ShelterBox is a registered charity and a Global Rotary Club Project.

“ShelterBox’s seeks to be in the “front end” of disasters; in the immedi-ate aftermath to the relief and recovery phase,” said PDG Nicdao. “We typically are able to respond within the first 24-72 hours after the calamity to meet the emergency shelter needs.”

will get a prison term of 12 years and a fine of not more than P500,000.

“As of year 2000, the leading cause of forest dis-turbance is illegal cutting, with a total of 4,920 hect-ares of land destroyed, the highest incidence since the 1990s,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said the coun-try lost resources worth P48.6 billion to harvesting and other logging activities while the conversion of forestland to non-forest use accounted for P20.4 billion in losses.

“Also contributing to the decline in stocks were forest fires, accounting for P439 million, and the natural death of trees, which ac-counted for P5.9 billion. Demand for agricultural land is also one of the main reasons that forests continue to be erased at the rate of 13 million hectares a year. By 2005, forests were esti-mated at 47 percent of the total land, from 51 percent in 1990. From 1990 until 2000, the rate of deforesta-tion of the Philippines is 1.4 percent,” Rodriguez said.

“Therefore, the bill seeks to restore our forest to its old grandeur and richness by implementing a plan for sustainable forest manage-ment,” Rodriguez stressed.

“The use of natural re-sources requires a balanc-ing act between present and future consumption, especially amidst scarcity and depletion,” Rep. Susan Yap (2nd District, Tarlact), one of the authors of the bill, said. “The government must be mindful of the needs of

future generations and must therefore practice conser-vation to ensure long-term sustainability,” Yap said.

“Forests house diverse species and natural re-sources that contribute to economic well-being, them being the source of income for many local communities as well as for daily consump-tion,” Yap said.

A ShelterBox is designed for disaster victims who cannot rebuild their homes within six months after a calamity. The ShelterBox is in a green box, 23” x 33”, weighing 54 kilos. The tent is made of Denier Breath-able Polyester, fire resistant (inner) but not fire-proof; 170 Denier Polyester with 5mm rip stop (outer). The floor is 140g/m2 polyeth-ylene. The poles are made of fiberglass.

TO assess the actual extent of damages and the plight of the thousands that suffered the aftermath of Typhoon Sendong, the second high-est official of the country visited Iligan and Cagayan de Oro last December 29.

Vice President Jejomar Binay visited some evacu-ation centers like MSU-IIT Gym, Luinab Elementary School and Iligan City East High School Gym at Santa Felomina, Iligan City where he distributed assorted relief goods.

Binay visits typhoon victims in Iligan, C. de OroAccompanied by his Al-

pha Phi Omega fraternity brothers and sisters in Iligan City and Lanao del Sur, he also took time to huddle with some of the evacuees.

In a luncheon meeting with Rep. Vicente F. Bel-monte Jr., Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz, Vice Mayor Henry C. Dy and other Iligan city officials together with offi-cers and members of Alpha Phi Omega (APO) Ranao of Marawi and Lanao del Sur and Iligan and Lanao del Norte Alpha Phi Omega

Professionals (ILNAPOP), Binay announced that all the agencies under his Office will assist the victims of the said typhoon especially those who completely lost their homes.

He said that the National Housing Authority will see to it that all the affected families shall be relocated from the danger zones.

He added that building of houses in danger zones shall be prohibited throughout the country.

His office will closely coordinate with the local officials in assuring that

the typhoon victims are rehabilitated, he said.

ILNAPOP officers and members who met with the Vice President were headed by President Edito Seares.

and former Commercial Attache Rex Sansarona and many others.

Cheering APO Ranao officers and members loudly hailed Binay as the next President of the Philippines.

Editorial THINK a minute.You’ve heard of people

who try to raise their stan-dard of living at almost any cost.

They’ll go without many things to get a higher edu-cation, hoping it will later get them a higher-paying job and career.

Some even move their family to another country to raise their standard of living.

Still others will only let their children marry someone whose standard of living is the same or higher than theirs.

Many of us spend much of our life working to raise our standard of living in terms of money and status. Then when we finally reach the standard of living we want, we still have to work hard to make sure we stay there!

But there are people whose standard of living

Raise your standard of living

Katalagman panahon sa kapaskuhan

Maayo moserbisyo ang taga-Cowd

Bag-ong tuig

never changes, whether they have a lot of money or not.

They always enjoy a high standard of living in their own character and daily lifestyle.

They’re always honest, loving, and kind. They’re quick to forgive others who wrong and hurt them.

They’re in control of their physical desires for pleasure, so they always have great fun in life without hurting their own bodies or other people. They enjoy real happiness and closeness every day in their marriage and with their kids.

You see, the kind of per-son we are inside is what gives us our real standard of living, not material things or status!

So what kind of character and daily lifestyle do you have? What kind of mar-riage and family do you have? What kind of friends?

There are many people who have heaps of money and status, but they have a low standard of living, be-cause of the low level of their own personal character.

T h e y ’re d i s h on e s t , greedy, competitive, and jealous of what other people

have.They gossip and use

people to get what they want. They don’t have much

love and forgiveness in their heart for people who wrong and hurt them.

There are heaps of rich people who do not possess real love, peace, and satis-faction in their marriage and family!

This is why our Maker is the only One Who can give us the power, honesty, and love we need to raise our standard of living by raising the level of our character.

It’s only when we ask Je-sus Christ to start changing us that we can start enjoy-ing a truly high standard of living. So why not ask Jesus to take complete charge of your heart and way of living?

It’s only then you can start climbing the ladder of REAL success and satisfac-tion for the rest of your life.

Just Think a Minute.

MILABAY na gyud ang 2011 ug 2012 na gyud.

Gibiyaan na gayud sa katawhan ang pinakapa-it nga tuig 2011 para niadtong nabiktima ni bagyong Sendong.

Ang mga dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro ug Iligan nga maoy nagrabehan mihimo og kasaysayan, usa ka mapait nga ka-saysayan nga dili gayud daling kalimtan ilabina niadtong nawad-an sa ilang mga minahal sa kinabuhi.

Apan adunay linya sa kanta nga nagkanayon: “Bag-ong tuig, bag-ong kinabuhi...”

Bisan pa sa mapait nga nasinatian, angayan nga mopadayon kita sa unahan––ug limtan, bisan sakit, ang mga mapait nga mga kagahapon.

Bag-ong tuig, bag-ong kinabuhi.

Angay natong hinum-duman nga dili tanang higayun sa atong kinabuhi nga kita mag-antus––ug

dili tanang higayun kita magmasulob-on.

Kanunay na gyud nga atong kaluha ang prob-lema––ug kanunay sab kita moingon nga “Gi-noo aduna akoy dakong problema.”

Mas maayo tingali nga karong 2012 ato na kin-ing usbon nga linya ug nga maoy atong litukon kanunay ang linya nga: “Problema, aduna akoy dakong Ginoo.”

Kinaiya usab sa ubang tawo nga ayha ra maka-hinumdum og Ginoo kung aduna nay dakong problema.

Mosangpit kita Kaniya panahon na anaa kita sa kalisod ug nag-atubang og dagkong problema. Malimtan nato ang Ginoo panahon nga anaa kita sa paghudyaka––sa kalipay.

Matud pa sa Ginoo: “Lihuk tawo kay tabangan ko ikaw.”

Ang Bag-ong Tawo

Alex A. PodadorAlex A. Podador

ADUNAY mga panghita-bo nga mo abot sa atong kinabuhi nga dili nato dam-hon nga mahitabo. Kinsay magdahom nga samtang ang kadaghanan mahinanukon nga nahikatulog sa tunga sa kagabhion ug sa kalit lamang mabati ang singgit sa mga silingan nagayo ug pakitang tungod sa hagunos sa tubig nga mitabon ug mianod sa halos tanang mga kabalayan nga duol sa kasubaan sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro ug kalakbit nga mga lugar niini.

Unang bagyo kadto nga gikatala nga mikalas ug gatusan ka mga kinabuhi, kabalayan ug mga kabtan-gan dinhi sa Dakbayan. Sakit nga palandungon apan kamatuoran nga angayan dawaton. Makapangutana ka kung ngano nahitabo ang maong katalagman sa panahon sa kapaskuhan.

Duha sa mga ayaan sa akong asawa ang apil sa maong na biktima ug mipanaw. Nahitabo kini taliwala sa ilang pag suway pag salbar sa ilang mga kaugalingon ug sa ilang pinalangga nga Inahan. Sa ilang pagpaningkamot paglikay sa kamatayon sa pagkalunod, napakyas sila apan naluwas nila ang ilang Inahan. Giisip namo sila

nga mga bayani.Kini ug daghan pang

mga masakit nga kaagi ang akong nadunggan sa pait nga kasinatian dala sa bagyong si Sendong niadtong kaadla-won sa Decembre 17, 2011, mismong adlaw natawhan sa lola sa akong asawa.

Sa tanang mga butang nga gaka panghitabo sa atong palibot, adunay rason nganong nahitabo kini. Gi-ingon sa Eccelesiates 3:1-8 Adunay panahon alang sa tanang butang, ug panahon alang sa tagsatagsa ka tuyo ilalum sa langit: Panahon sa pagkatawo, ug panahon sa pagkamatay; panahon sa pagtanum, ug panahon sa pag-ibut niadtong natanum na; Panahon sa pagpatay, ug panahon sa pag-ayo; panahon sa paglumpag, ug panahon sa pagtukod; Panahon sa paghilak, ug panahon sa pagkatawa; panahon sa pagbalata, ug panahon sa pagsayaw; Pa-

nahon sa pagsalibay ug mga bato, panahon sa pagtigum sa mga bato; panahon sa panaggakus, ug panahon sa pagpugong gikan sa panaggakus; Panahon sa pagpangita, ug panahon sa pagwala; panahon sa pagtipig, ug panahon sa pag-usik; Panahon sa pag-gisi, ug panahon sa pagtahi; panahon sa paghilum ug pa-nahon sa pagsulti; Panahon sa paghigugma, ug panahon sa pagdumot; panahon alang sa gubat ug panahon alang sa pakigdait.

Kining panghitabo karon pagbuot kini sa Kahitas-an. Bunga man kini sa Iyang kasuko kanato tungod sa atong mga kalapasan diha Kaniya. Bunga man kini sa atong kapabayaan sa atong kinaiyahan. Bisan unsa man ang rason sa ma-ong panghitaboa, walay mamahimong rason nga dili na nato Siya simbahon ug pasalamatan. Ang atong

mga kinabuhi ug ang tanang ania kanato, dili gyud kini atua kundili gipahulaman lang kini sa Ginoo nganhi kanato busa walay rason nga dili kita mo padayon pag simba Kaniya.

Padayon kita nga moila Kaniya sa Iyang dakong gugma ug grasya. “Ang nga-lan sa Dios maoy usa ka malig-ong torre; Ang mata-rung magadagan nganha niana ug may kaluwasan,” (Proverbio 18:10). Usa kini ka hulagway nga moduol kita sa Dios kanunay sama sa usa ka malig-on nga torre nga madaganan ug mataguan kun moabot ang katalagman.

Kanato nga giiwas sa maong unos, ipakita nato ang walay hunong natong pag-ampo ug pagpakita sa atong tabang ug suporta sa mga pamilya nga nawad-an ug naga bangutan. Si Apostol Pablo nag-ingon, “Ug kinahanglan dili kita managhunong sa pagbuhat ug maayo, kay sa moabot nga panahon kita magaani, kon kita dili magakaluya. Busa, sa mabatonan ta ang kahigayonan, buha-ton ta ang maayo ngadto sa tanang mga tawo, ilabi na kanila nga mga sakop sa panimalay sa pagtoo.” (Galacia 6:9-10).

USA na ka tuig ang mila-bay apan wala pa gihapoy kasigurohan kung kanus-a mabalik sa normal ang supply sa tubig dinhi sa Cagayan de Oro.

Sama sa miaging tuig, bilar ug walay kasigurohan kung makaligo ba ang na-ghulat kung kanus-a mak-abalik ang agas sa gripo nga ga-suplayan sa Cagayan de Oro Water District (Cowd).

Ingon ana ka maayo moserbisyo ang taga-Cowd. Kung usbaw gani ang his-gutan, abtik pa sa kilat nga

mo-implementar apan kung serbisyo na gani, ambot kung galihuk ba sila.

Ako pa ninyo diha sa Cowd, ayaw na lang na ninyo ayoha ang nadaut ninyo nga mga pasilidad tutal bisan

walay agas padayon man mo maningil––ug dili man gyud mo kabalo maulaw.

Billing lang mo, bisan walay agas. Unya kanang inyong giingon nga naning-kamot mo, sige lang paning-

kamot gyud mo diha bisan og walay gipaningkamotan.

Paningil lang gud mo, kay maayo man ang inyong serbisyo, yawat makatigum og salapi para karong Di-syembre pohon!

Sa kadugay ng serbisyo sa Cowd, P30-milyones lang ang damyos, kalapait na dayon. Ginansiya ba kaha ng Cowd operation o ginansi?

Hinoon, unsa may labot sa Cowd kung walay tubig nga ilang i-supply, problema na kana sa ilang kunsimidor.

FIFTEENTH CONGRESS )REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES )

FIRST REGULAR SESSION )

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESIntroduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez

and Representative Maximo B. Rodriguez, Jr.

House Res No. _____

A RESOLUTIONDIRECTING THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC ORDER AND SAFETY TO CONDUCT AN INQUIRY, IN AID OF LEGISLATION, ON THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE PHILIP-PINE NATIONAL POLICE WHEREIN THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN FIREARMS AND SOME POLICEMEN RESORT TO PURCHASING THEIR OWN FIREARMS

WHEREAS, according to the most recent National Statistical Coordination Board statistics, for 2009, 545 crimes committed in the Philippines per 100,000 people which is the highest it has ever been;

WHEREAS, this shows that now more than ever, we need a more efficient, ef-fective and visible police force to deter criminality;

WHEREAS, one problem that plagues our Philippine National Police (PNP) is the lack of equipment, more particularly firearms, that are needed to combat criminality in the country;

WHEREAS, according to Chief PNP Director General Nicanor Bartolome, a third of the 140,000-strong police force does not have government-issued firearms and he was quoted as saying that, “right now 66 percent [have] short firearms. Now you may wonder what the other 34 percent do. They buy their own handguns”;

WHEREAS, as for long arms, General Bartolome said their target is provide these to 70 percent of policemen only as the policy of the PNP is that not all police-men should be armed with long firearms and at present only 63 percent have government-issued long firearms;

WHEREAS, recent data from the PNP show that:

WHEREAS, it is clear that our PNP is definitely short-changed and it is trouble-some to know that our policemen have to purchase their own guns using their meager salaries just so they can perform their duties properly or that at the very start of their employment they may have to “beg, steal or borrow” in order to secure their handguns ;

WHEREAS, the government is duty bound or obligated to provide the handguns at the time the policeman starts work for them to effectively carry out their responsibilities;

WHEREAS, the problem becomes even more glaring if one considers the fact that the PNP estimates that there are at least 600,000 unlicensed firearms in the country that could potentially be used to commit crimes;

WHEREAS, there is a need to look into this situation and determine what can be done in order to aid our PNP specially considering that the PNP has a P2 billion a year modernization fund.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives, to direct the Committee on Public Order and Safety to conduct an inquiry, in aid of legisla-tion, on the above issue and thus serve notice to all concerned, particularly the PNP and other agencies and entities which may shed light and resolve the issue.

Adopted,

RUFUS B. RODRIGUEZ

MAXIMO B. RODRIGUEZ, JR.

• A storm is brewing that threatens the hold on power of Mayor Vicente “Dongkoy” Y. Emano, who is accused of not taking ac-tion despite storm warnings and of mishandling relief operations in the aftermath of the devastation caused by Tropical Storm “Sendong.”

• Concerned residents here took to the pulpit over the weekend to discuss the state of the city after a concelebrated Mass at St. Augustine Metropolitan Ca-thedral officiated by Arch-bishop Antonio Ledesma, SJ.

Mayor Emano’s accountabilityThey then led churchgoers on a peaceful march on the Misamis Oriental Capitol Park to protest the way the city government was handling the calamity.

• Senator Aqui l ino “Koko” Pimentel III sent word to organizers to an-nounce to residents that he would lead a Senate inves-tigation of the culpability of officials in the unprec-edented scale of devastation and death that befell the city on December 16 and 17.

Manuel Valdehueza Jr., a city resident who gained

national prominence as an advocate of transparent governance in barangays, branded Emano as the “la-ziest” public official in the country.

Valdehueza organized a group of citizens who for months appeared at city council sessions to check Emano’s attendance.

An administrative case for Emano’s nonattendance at city council sessions was filed in 2009 but this was not acted upon by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who had counted Emano as one of her closest allies.

IN an interview with ANC News, President Benigno “P-Noy” Aquino III said that he might pardon ex-prez Gloria Macapagal Arroyo if she showed remorse for the anomalies and scandals that had hounded her nine years in power. Yep, P-Noy told Gloria, “No remorse, no pardon!”

After seeing P-Noy’s interview on her TV in her detention suite at the Veteran Memorial Medical Center, Gloria went to work and wrote her New Year’s Resolution.

My investigative report-er James Macaquecquec, through his connections with Gloria’s jailers, got a copy of Gloria’s 2012 New Year’s Resolution and sent it to Global Balita.

My New Year’s Resolution

First of all, I would like to thank President Aquino for offering to pardon me provided that I showed re-morse for the anomalies and scandals during my presidency. I am glad that P-Noy is keeping up with the tradition that I established when I pardoned former President Erap Estrada after he was convicted of plunder in 2007. I did it then out of my Christian upbring-ing, “To err is human; to forgive is divine.” I have always felt that my ascen-sion to the presidency was a divine providence; thus, it was just natural for me to forgive those who erred.

But what bothers me is that P-Noy offered to pardon me even before I was convicted of bogus charges of election sabotage in 2007! How could I have sabotaged the elections in 2007 when I was not even a candidate? P-Noy claimed that I cheated because all the 12 candidates on the administration slate won in Maguindanao. Well, there’s only one explana-tion why all my candidates

PerryscopeBy Perry Diaz,

San Freancisco, CA

Gloria’s New Year’s Resolution

won – it’s because of divine providence! There is no other reason. I did not err.

However, in the spirit of Christmas, I have decided to demonstrate that I’m still a human being prone to making mistakes just like anybody else. In the nine and a half years that I was President, I made a lot of grave mistakes, to wit:

1. I regret ousting Erap from the presidency in 2001. As his Vice President, I should have helped him succeed instead of plotting to remove him from office.

2. I regret appointing Leila de Lima as Chair-person of the Commission on Human Rights. Had I known that she would bite me like a pit bull, I would have sent her to Tawi-tawi instead.

3. I regret appointing Jun Lozada as technical consultant on the national broadband project. He turned out to be a whistle-blower and exposed all the anomalies involving the NBN-ZTE project. Now, he’s going to testify against me in court.

4. I regret not declaring martial law when I had a chance. If I did that I would still be in power and enjoy-ing life in theEnchanted Kingdom. Now, my life is confined to a hospital suite with no kitchen, no telephone, no computer, and I am not even allowed to use a mobile phone.

5. I regret not cheating P-Noy of the presidency in 2010 by fixing the Smart-martic automated election system. Mike promised me that if we did not cheat P-Noy, he would not prosecute us for graft and corruption. Mike was wrong!

6. I regret coming back from my trips to Spain and Switzerland. If I did not return, I would have been free as a bird in Portugal where there is no extradition treaty with the Philippines.

With my friend Merci Gutierrez impeached and re-signed as Ombudsman and my protector Chief Justice Renato Corona impeached and may soon be convicted in a Senate impeachment trial, I have come to terms with my fate.

With this silly gadget wrapped around my head and neck, I don’t have any options left except to put myself at the mercy of P-Noy. Yes, Mr. President, I am sorry for all the anomalies and scandals during my presidency. I was weak and indecisive and I allowed my husband Mike to the run the government the way he wanted it and did all those shenanigans. I tried to stop him but he became too powerful to be stopped. If there is one person who should go to jail, it’s Mike.

I hope that P-Noy would pardon me. In good faith, I resolve to do the following:

A. I will resign as Rep-resentative of Pampanga’s Second District.

B. I will not get involved in politics for the rest of my life.

C. I will ask Susan Roces for her forgiveness for cheat-ing her husband Fernando Poe Jr. of the presidency in 2004.

And since P-Noy only asked me to show remorse, I will keep the money I earned during my presidency.

God is my witness,Gloria

Sen. Chiz on the P5.6M misused COA, P193.6M in donations for victims of various typhoons from 2004 to 2010 sleeping in the bank: This is a crying shame! Misuse of donations for victims of calamities should be considered a heinous crime. It is not simple misappropriation, malversation or corruption when money intended for calamity victims are misused given that such help will decide whether a person may live or die. To gamble and take advantage of money intended to help save lives is a higher level of betrayal that to my mind should be meted the highest penalty.

Sa Bagyong Sendong “Ika-upat nga Yugto”

ADUNAY panahon nga makasaka sa balay ang pipila namo ka suod nga mga silingan, moingon dayon nga grabe daw ko kay nag-adam na daan sa dakong sulbabida.

Ako silang gitubag nga maayo ang mangandam daan aron makabantay. Ayha na ba kita magkarag-karag kung moabot na ang mga emerhensya, dugang pagpasabot nako ngadto kanila. Igo lamang nila g i k at aw - an a ko Kuy a Sonny.

DEAR Kuya Sonny, maayong adlaw ug Happy New Year kanimo ingon man sa imong mga suking readers. Tagoa lamang ako sa pangalan nga usa ka George, 26 years old, ulitawo ug ania mag-puyo dinhi sa lalwigan sa Bukidnon.

Nagsugod kining kaagi ko sa TEXT2X sa dihang

TEXT2x EXPERIENCEgihatagan akog cell # diin gipanag-iyahan kini sa usa ka maanyag nga bihuhat kinsa hinatag ra usab gikan sa akong suod nga higala.

Siya mao si Nits, 22 years old dalaga ug taga Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Sa dihang nagka-uyab na kami sa text, mibisita dayon ko sa ilang lungsod ug didto akong na-

sota nga maanyag man diay si Nits.

Nanuroy gilayon mi diha sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro sa may Mall duol sa Provincial Hospital. Tungod kay bag-o pa man ako na-halinan sa yuta, nagshopping dayon mi ug giregalohan nakog mga gamit si Nits. Love kaayo ming duha Kuya

ug nagsinaaray nga kama-tayon lamang ang utlanan sa among gugma.

Karon Kuya Sonny, nagplano na kami nga mag-pakasal sa umalabot bulan sa Marso 2012. Thanks and more power. (George)

DEAR Kuya Sonny, maayong adlaw kanimo. Ang akong suliran nga buot nakong ipatambag kanimo mao ang kabahin sa duha nako ka mga uyab kinsa pulos managsuon. Wala sila kahibalo nga ako silang gilumpong ug ako ra ang nasayod niini. Maayo ba

Medyo lain ang buot sa akong silingan pagkasu-nod adlaw niana kay dili naman niya ako balibali-hon apan nagpahi-ubos lang gihapon ako.

Ang taol sa iro nagpasabot kana nga nakita og kalag sa tawo nga nagsuroysuroy nianang dapita kinsa namatay atol sa Bagyong Sendong.

Nangligid pa ang mga adlaw, ako nalang na-sayran nga nabuslot ang sulbabida ug mohiyos kini.

Apan diay aksidente nga nahulogan sa kutsi-lyo sa akong asawa mao gidalidali nako kini sa pagpabulkit ngadto sa vulcanizing shop kay ilabi na nga nakadungog ako sa balita sa buhatan sa PAG-ASA nga adunay coming nga usa ka bagyo. (Atangi gyud ninyo ang sumpay ugma niini kay kulbahinam kaayo kini)

REIGNING unified Inter-national Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Association (WBA) light welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson is willing to fight eight-time world division champion Manny Pacquiao in 2012.

According to Barr y Hunter, Peterson’s trainer, the 140-pound super cham-pion is more than willing to go up in weight for a possible showdown with the international boxing superstar.

“If the opportunity is there,” said Hunter in an interview aired by RingTV.com.

But ever ything sti l l depends on whether the 27-year-old champion will be asked to defend his IBF light-welterweight belt against Amir Khan next year.

Peterson wrested the 140-lb version of the IBF from Khan on December 12 in a highly-disputed split decision after two points were deducted by referee Joseph Cooper from the

Peterson-Pacquaio fight loomsLamont Peterson Manny Pacquiao

former champion from Bolton, England for exces-sive pushing.

Peterson’s optionsOscar De La Hoya’s

Golden Boy Promotions—Khan’s handlers—has al-ready offered a $1 million purse to the Washington, District of Columbia na-tive for a rematch in 2012. Peterson earned a career-record $650,000 in beating the 25-year-old Khan.

But definitely, a bout with the reigning World B ox i n g O r g a n i z at i on (WBO) welterweight cham-pion Pacquiao is truly one huge opportunity that can-not be passed up, even if it meant going up in weight.

“If there’s an opportu-nity and it makes business sense, and if it’s a situa-tion that we feel we could go into and have a good chance of coming out on top, then we’ll take a shot at it,” Hunter said.

The 5-foot-9 Peter-son enjoys a 2-1/2 inch height advantage against Pacquiao. He needs to add seven pounds to make the

147-lb welterweight limit, although he weighed-in at 155lbs on the night he fought Khan.

Hunter also mentioned a possible return match with reigning WBO 140-lb titlist Tim Bradley, who scored a unanimous decision win over Peterson in a 2009 title fight.

“There’s always an open book. We don’t want to limit ourselves to just one thing. Bottom line is, he is here now, and we didn’t get here to just be satisfied with where we are,” said Hunter.

Pacquiao-Peterson in May 2012 possibleMichael Koncz, Pac-

quiao’s Canadian adviser and close confidante, said Peterson’s name was added to the possible list of op-ponents by the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter after their choices had been limited with the 90-day jail sentence given to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“I’ve had a brief dis-cussion with Manny, and I’ve mentioned all of those

names to him, including Lamont Peterson. Lamont Peterson is a champion now, so he’s just another option,” said Koncz.

“We’ll continue to talk about him and the other options if Floyd’s out of the picture. Lamont Pe-terson’s just a name that’s been thrown out there, and Manny and I will consider him as another possibility. But we’re not going to sit down and have an in-depth conversation until I go back on January 8,” Konz added.

Koncz said Pacquiao eyes a possible ring return by May or June.

Freddie Roach, Pac-quiao’s Hall of Fame trainer, already said that he prefers to have Peterson as the Pacman’s next opponent.

“I think Lamont Peter-son is a great opponent for Manny Pacquiao if the fight (with Floyd Mayweather Jr.) does not happen,” said Roach, who, ironically, was also in Khan’s corner as chief trainer during the controversial loss to Peter-son. — JVP, GMA News

THERE is no stopping actress Erich Gonzales and Thai actor Mario Maurer from doing their much anticipated Star Cinema film.

In an interview with Push.com.ph, Gonzales said they will start shooting the movie next year.

“Tuloy na tuloy na po talaga siya. Next year na po siya magsa-start. Kumbaga tatapusin ko na lang po yung ‘Maria la del Barrio’ and mag-Star Magic Tour lang po kami tapos magsho-shoot na po kami ng movie,” she said.

Just like Maurer, Gonzales said she has an idea of how the story of their film would go.

“Noong first meeting po namin parang naging [story conference] na rin siya sa aming dalawa kasi nandoon na rin yung writers at inexplain sa amin yung story, yung tatakbuhin, kung saan kaming dalawa galing. Sobrang nakaka-excite at ang ganda po talaga ng story,” she said.

Asked how different would this be from her previous films, Gonzales said: “Kakaiba dahil po siguro unang-una kasi yung leading man ko Asian heartthrob tapos isho-shoot siya sa Thailand tapos dito din po. I know it’s going to be fun kasi si Direk Rory (Quintos) ang magdi-direct.”

Meanwhile, Gonzales is not worried her fans, who prefer Enchong Dee as her partner, would react nega-tively to her film with Maurer.

Gonzales and Dee have been paired for several tele-vision projects.

“Kasi po sobrang blessed ako dahil yung mga sup-porters ko, mga supporters namin open sila talaga. Kumbaga kahit yung mga individual projects namin sinusuportahan po nila from the beginning, kaya alam kong walang magiging problema kumbaga kahit nga tinatanong na nila kung ano yung block screening, super excited din po sila,” she said.

HURRICANES and typhoons could contribute to other natural disasters that occur long after the rain and winds subside. A new study led by University of Miami (UM) scientist Shimon Wdowinski finds a link between earthquakes and tropical storms, and shows that they may have actually initiated some major temblors, including the recent 2010 quakes in Haiti and Taiwan.

“Very wet rain events are the trigger,” said Wdowinski, associate research professor at the UM Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. “The heavy rain induces thousands of landslides and severe ero-sion, which removes ground material from the Earth’s surface, releasing the stress load and encouraging movement along faults ... the reduced load (can) unclamp the faults, which can promote an earthquake.”

Wdowinski and a colleague from Florida International University ana-lyzed data from major quakes in Taiwan and Haiti and found commonality between them, with a number of large earthquakes happening within the four years following a very wet tropical cyclone season.

Their research identified a handful of such instances from the past half-century: In Taiwan, the 2009 Morakot typhoon was followed by a magnitude 6.2 quake in 2009 and a 6.4 in 2010; Typhoon Herb in 1996 was followed by a 6.2 in 1998 and a 7.6 in 1999; 1969’s Typhoon Flossie was followed by a 6.2 in 1972; the 2010 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti devastated the nation just a year-and-a-half after two hurricanes and two tropical storms drenched the island nation in the span of less than a month.

According to the researchers, earthquakes are only likely to be trig-gered by tropical cyclones - including hurricanes and typhoons - along so-called inclined faults, where one side is above the other.

A similar study, published in 2009 in the journal Nature, found a link between typhoons in Taiwan and “slow quakes” - less violent temblors that release their built-up pressure over the course of hours or days instead of a few seconds.

Both studies are tied to the theory of hydroseismicity, first put forth in 1987, that suggests a link between localized variations in rainfall and seismic activity. Some supporters of the hypothesis have called for the deployment of more stream gauging stations to one day complement earthquake monitoring and forecasting.

The researchers from the University of Miami and Florida International University say they plan to analyze patterns in other regions that suffer from tropical cyclones and earthquakes, such as the Philippines and Japan.
