CLARK FREEPORT - Pres. Duterte’s suspen-sion of land use conver-sion should cover the 36,000-hectare Clark Green City project in Tar-lac, and the 200-hect-are MRT 7 inter-modal station in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.

This was the view ex-pressed by the partylist Anakpawis after the fi rst meeting in 10 years of the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council (PARC) which led to the decision

Duterte’s suspension of land conversion to cover Clark Green City, MRT 7 projects

of the President to order a moratorium on conver-sion of agricultural lands, as well as the condona-tion of penalties on the arrears of farmer-bene-fi ciaries (FBs) with Land Bank of the Philippines for their land awarded under the agrarian re-form program.

“We welcome Pres. Duterte’s pro-farmer di-rectives, and recognize the eff orts of Agrarian Reform Sec. Rafael “Ka Paeng” Mariano, who

was instrumental for this development. Ka Paeng and the President are undoubtedly partners for change benefi ting the poor Filipino farmers,” Anakpawis Party-list Rep. Ariel Casilao said in a statement.

Casilao noted that “Anakpawis has long been opposing land use con-version projects, such as the 36,000-hectare Clark Green City project in Tar-lac, and the 200-hectare

CLARK FREEPORT - A group advocating mar-ket-oriented reforms, property rights, consum-er welfare and good gov-ernance cautioned yes-terday the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on a proposal for a higher national min-imum wage.

The Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) said such a move “will only drive invest-ments and jobs away from the countryside.”

Scrap military treaties with US to resolve sea confl ict with China

FISHERS’ GROUP ASKS DUTERTE

B! D"#$ C%&'(#)%*

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - A fi shermen’s group challenged yesterday Pres. Duterte to “abrogate unequal military treaties like the Visiting Forc-es Agreement (VFA), Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) and the Enhanced Defense Coopera-tion Agreement (EDCA)” with the US government.

The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said the US “is the biggest threat to the peaceful resolu-tion with China with whom we have a dispute over West Phil-ippine Sea.”

The group lamented the continuing suff erings of small Filipino fi shers arising from the confl ict with China in the West Philippine Sea.

“These agreements are a threefold blow to the ordinary Filipino civilians who always serve as collateral damage in America’s unjust and absurd war against its own-instigated terrorism. With the US military in the country, we will always

be the ground zero of state enemies of the Americans,” Fernando Hicap, Pamalakaya chairperson said in a state-ment.

Hicap said Chinese ag-gression in the West Philip-pine Sea is in reaction to US military presence in the re-gion.

“Beijing increases its mili-tary presence in the disputed sea because they are threat-ened with the U.S. military presence in the region. In-stead of having a peaceful conclusion with China through diplomatic and bilateral talks, White House continues to in-terfere, making the situation even worse,” he said.

“We welcome Pres. Dute-rte’s anti-imperialist stance but such thing should not re-main a posture, he should completely cut all the one-sid-ed economic and military ties with the US and pursue a gen-uine independent Philippine foreign policy that will truly up-hold and protect our national sovereignty and national inter-est,” Hicap also said.

CABANATUAN CITY - Judge Anarica Castillo-Reyes, pre-siding judge of Regional Trial Court Branch 88 that hears the human traffi cking case against the alleged re-cruiters of Mary Jane Velo-so, may fl y to Indonesian jail anytime this month to observe the proceedings in taking her deposition.

Veloso deposition to be taken this month

Lawyers (NUPL), said Reyes ruled during the last hearing of the cases fi led by Veloso against Ma. Cristina Sergio, Julius Lacanilao and uniden-tifi ed other that she will ob-serve the process which will be undertaken by the Philip-pine consulate in Indonesia.

The next hearing in RTC is set on Oct. 27, 2016.

Deinla daid there was no timeline set for the resolutio-on of the case but the pros-ecution is targeting the most

expeditious pace, Deinla said.

Sergio and Lacanilao have the Public Attorney’s Offi ce (PAO) led by Atty. Persida Acosta for their de-fense

“If everything goes as we’re hoping -- such as the court granting leave to take the deposition with no further objections from the defense - deposition taking may be-gin within the month,” Deinla said.

BALANGA CITY -- Bataan po-lice on Tuesday announced the death of three suspected drug traders in separate buy-bust operations before mid-night of Monday and dawn of Tuesday in the towns of Orion and Dinalupihan.

Chief Inspector Eduar-do Guevara, Jr., Orion po-lice chief, identifi ed the fatali-ty in the town as Eric Acuna, 38, who he said was listed as pusher in the Barangay An-ti-Drug Action Council (BAD-AC).

Chief Inspector Ricardo Santiago, Jr., Dinalupihan po-lice chief, said those killed in his area were Roy Sanqui and Boy Toledo, Top 1 and 5, re-spectively, in the BADAC list.

Guevara said Acuna fi red but missed at his buyer when he sensed that he was trans-acting with a police offi cer. Other police operatives who were hiding retaliated and

Scene of the Crime Oper-atives recovered in a remote sitio in Barangay General Lim in Orion a .22 revolver with six live ammunitions and two spent shells and seven sa-chets of shabu, Guevara said.

Santiago said Toledo even shouted invectives and pulled his gun when he realized that he was dealing with a police offi cer in Barangay Roosevelt in Dinalupihan at about 12:30 a.m. of Tuesday.

Before Toledo and Sanqui could fi re, back-up operatives shot the two, the police chief said.

SOCO found at the crime scene two .38 revolvers with live ammunitions and six sa-chet of shabu, Santiago said.

The three became the 19th, 20th and 21st suspected drug off enders killed in buy-bust op-erations by the Bataan police since July 1.

MEXICO, Pampanga--- Na-kahanda ang National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) Central Luzon offi ce at tiniyak na ligtas at matatag ang lahat ng kanilang trans-mission towers sa mga bagyong pumasok sa Philip-pine Area of Responsibility.

Ayon kay Ernest Vidal, re-gional corporate communica-tion and public aff airs offi cer Region 3, handa ang NGCP sakaling may toreng maapek-tuhan ng bagyo at may mga precautionary measure ng

NGCP handa sa 2 bagyong pumasok sa PAR‘Huwag titira malapit sa mga transmission tower’

nakalatag ang NGCP para dito.

Ang malakas na hangin bunga ng bagyo ang pan-gunahing dahilan kung bakit nabubuwal ang isang tore at siniguro ni Vidal na nakah-anda na ang kanilang work-ing team upang hindi maba-lam ang serbisyo ng pagpa-padaloy ng kuryente sa mga tore patungo sa Region 1 at 2 sakaling manalasa na ang bagyo.

Ayon kay Vidal, nabuw-al sa Bagyong Nona noong 2014 ang ilang tore ng kump-anya sa bahagi ng Nueva

Ecija sanhi ng pagbaha at kaagad itong natugunan ng restoration team na siya ring tutugon sakaling magkaprob-lema sa bagyong paparating.

Nagpaalala si Vidal sa mga residente sa ibat ibang bayan sa rehiyon na iwasang tumira sa ilalim ng tore dahil lubhang delikado lalo ngay-ong may bagyo.

Ani Vidal, sa kabila ng may bagyo ay nananatiling normal ang kanilang operasyon sa ngayon at wala namang anu-mang masamang epekto ang pumasok na mga bagyo sa bansa.

Top franchise taxpayer is the San Fernando Electric Light & Power Company (Sfelapco).

The City of San Fernando hailed these corporate citizens for their faithful adherence to their civic duty that, Mayor Edwin Santiago said, helped boost the city’s economy “tremendously.”

It’s a puzzler for us though why the names of the city’s famously rich and ostensibly famous and that of their conglomerates are sorely missing in this honors list of top taxpayers.

Calling the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

It ain’t fairEDGARDO PAMINTUAN was 8th in the World Mayor Prize 2012, already a hall of famer in the Most Outstanding Mayor of the Philippines search of Superbrands Marketing International, and is the national president of the League of Cities of the Philippines – just to cite the most manifest recognition of his excellence in governance.

Yet, Angeles City has just been tagged as among the worst cities in the world to drive in, ranked 147th of 186 – in descending order, with only Manila at 170th and Cebu City as the worst of the worsts, among Philippine cities. The tagger – Waze, a popular traffi c and navigating app used by cab drivers and commuters.

Has not Pamintuan, time and again, initiated traffi c innovations such as the creation of a traffi c management council with a traffi c czar to boot, the holding of traffi c summits, traffi c re-routing like that at Koreatown, etcetera, to decongest the city roads and ease traffi c fl ow?

That ain’t fair. To the excellent Pamintuan.“So, who will pay for this? Mayor Ed

Pamintuan, your move.”So we wrote in an editorial on the cracks

on the Clark perimeter road parallel to the Capillion Green Frontier project and followed up in a news story saying: “No action was apparently undertaken by Pamintuan and the city government who exercise jurisdiction on the road. Calls to his offi ce remained unreturned at presstime.”

So the mayor texted us Sunday: “I checked all possible calls from you (to) both city hall staff in charge of receiving calls, mine and Jay (Pelayo) and city executives regarding my comment on the damaged road. Sadly, we never got any calls from your end. Be that as it may, this (is) my comment (which) I’m sure will be given a space as my offi ce and my position as mayor was cited.

“When I saw on FB a photo of the Clark perimeter road on August 31, 2016, I texted at once Sec. Art Tugade and reported to him the cracked cemented road and he answered on the same day, August 31 at 8:18 PM…’Yes Brod Mayor.’

“The following day, Sept.1, at 7:13 am, I got another text message from Sec. Art – ‘Txt from Noel Manankil – Good morning Sir, pinapa-rush na po namin yung pag-seal ng mga cracks sa daan at kausap na po namin yung mga engineers ng Capilion.’

“Hope this clear issues as to my lack of interest in bringing the matter to whoever was responsible for the damage and repair…”

Yes, for Punto! reporting his apparent inaction on the cracked perimeter road, that ain’t fair to Pamintuan. He texted, he acted.

Fair and square, need we still ask for more quarters?

Just last week, the Angeles City Police Offi ce was “honored” as the Best City Police Offi ce in the whole of Central Luzon – by no less than PNP Director General Ronald de la Rosa himself – and Top 2 in the entire country.

No less than the city’s top cop, Senior Supt. Sidney Villafl or has given due credit to Pamintuan’s all-out support to the police for this signal accomplishment.

Why, in two months’ time alone (July 1 to August 31) the ACPO registered no less than 20 “drug personalities” in anti-drug operations, 197 others arrested and 1,514 surrendered.

Now, for the nitpicking malcontents to still raise the issue of three shabu laboratory raided in Angeles City only this year and lay this down at the feet of Pamintuan just ain’t fair to the truly hardworking, crime-fi ghting hizzoner.

For these muckrakers to cry “unfairness” in Mabalacat City Mayor Marino Morales shamed as a narco-politician for the proliferation of drugs in his domain vis-à-vis Pamintuan’s squeaky-clean image despite the shabu labs found in his city, is just…well, really ain’t fair. To Pamintuan, duh!

It is not though in being mayor but in his peace panel persona where the unfairest slash of all on Pamintuan these recent days was delivered.

“Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, adviser of the government’s peace panel, had earlier condemned the killings. He alleged that the CPP’s armed wing, the New People’s Army, and its political wing, the National Democratic Front (NDF) are behind the killings due to land disputes.”

So reported Jessica Bartolome in gmanews.com, getting the swiftest response of a threat of civil suit from the mayor.

“I never said that! That is a case of malicious reporting. The reporter twisted the truth,” said Pamintuan. “The victims were progressive farmer leaders. How can I accuse the NPA and NDF of masterminding the slaying when I know for a fact that the revolutionary forces and progressives (sic) organizations have almost similar goals and will never harm each other.”

Malicious reporting. Twisted truth. It ain’t fair. And Pamintuan knows that for a fact. In

fairness, as the sosi is wont to say.

ON SEPTEMBER 15, 1898, the Malolos Congress opened in Barasoain Church with 95 delegates from various parts of the country, gathered to be-gin the national convention of the Philippine revolutionary government.

Pedro A. Paterno, the man whom the revolutionists had so satirically admonished for his leaning towards Spanish sov-ereignty less than 4 months before, was elected President of Congress. He was chosen to guide the political destinies of this budding democracy and preside over their republican

legislative body.Benito Legarda was cho-

sen to be Vice-President and Pablo Ocampo and Gregorio Araneta were secretaries.

Election of the Malolos Congress delegates was held between June 23 and Sep-tember 10 following the dec-laration of independence from Spain on June 12, 1898 at Kawit, Cavite, and the trans-formation of the dictatorial government to a revolutionary government on June 23.

One of the fi rst acts of the Malolos congress was the rat-ifi cation on September 29, of

the “June 12 Declaration of in-dependence”.

The congress then draft-ed a Constitution, a decision which was opposed by Apoli-nario Mabini, the Prime Minis-ter of the revolutionary govern-ment or President of the Coun-cil of Government.

The resulting Malolos Con-stitution was ratifi ed on No-vember 29, 1898, signed into law on December 23, ap-proved on January 20, 1899, sanctioned by President Emilio Aguinaldo on January 21, and promulgated on Jan-uary 22 1899.

‘Preventive measures,’

ang posibleng solusyon

MAKABULUHAN at lubhang mahalagaitong ‘Summit’ na pinangunahan ninaGovernor Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pinedaat Vice Governor “Delta” nitong Pampanga.

Kung saan ang naging paksa ng nasabing‘Summit or conference’ ay kwenta updatingnitong pagsugpo sa drug addiction pa rinat iba pang dapat na matutukan din

Upang kung hindi man lubos masawata sa lalong madaling panahon ika nga,Yan paunti-unti lilipas ding kusakapag ginabayan ng ganap na tiyaga.

‘Preventive maintenance’ ang isa sa dapatisulong upang ang lango na ang utaksa bawal na gamot ating mailigtassa pamamagitan ng wastong pag-rehab.

At para ma-detect itong kung sino r’yansa nag-surrender na ang hinihinalangdi pa rin tumigil sa katarantaduhan,gawan na natin ng mabisang paraan.

At drug test ang suhestyon ng Kapitolyo na pinaka-the best na unang remedyo,upang masagip sa pagkalulong pihoang ating Kabalen sa lintik na Shabu.

(Kaysa ipakulong ng ating gobyernoat pakainin ng libre sa presidio,ang nakararaming drug addicts na ito,na nasa bingit na ngayon ng impyerno).

Mas mabuti-buti dito sa Pampangakumpara sa ibang bayan at probinsyaang kalagayan ng lulong na sa drogadahil maagap si Governor Pineda

Sa pag-asikaso at pagkilos agadupang ang anumang problema malutasnang maaga kaysa kumbaga sa silab,malaki na bago kumilos ang lahat.

Pero kumpara sa ibang lalawigan,(partikular na r’yan sa parteng Bulakan)Ang atin higit na maliit ang bilang ng mga pushers at users na napatay!

Nang dahil na rin sa higit na maramimarahil ang mga protectors din patisa iba pang lugar… kung kaya’t posiblena ang casualties d’yan ay higit ang dami?

At ang isa pa riyang nakababahalaay kung bakit itong nag-surrender na ngaat nangakong di umano gagawang labag sa batas, pero hayan yata

At patuloy pa ring sa ganyang iligalna aktibidades ang mangilan-ngilan,kaya kung di natin sila tututukankailan pa natin yan mapagbagong tunay?

Kaya tama lamang ang ating Governorat si Vice Guv sa ninanais isulong;Na ang pangunahin umanong solusyonay dili’t iba nga ay preventive measures!

At upang ang ganyan ay di lumalaat humantong sa pagkapariwara,agapan upang di na maging sugapasa droga – ang lipi nitong Inangbansa!

ANGELES CITY- This city’s local chief executive and League of Cities of the Phil-ippines President, Mayor Ed-gardo Pamintuan, vowed to complete his Contract with the Angeleños (CWA) during the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) meeting, held Wednes-day at the Shanghai Palace, this city.

The CWA is an eight-point agenda that serve as the de-velopment platform of the Pa-mintuan administration for An-geles City from 2010 to pres-ent. Among these agenda are education, arts and culture, health, good governance, en-vironment and economy.

“We will double our eff orts to fi nish the unfi nished proj-ects and surpass whatever achievements we had during my previous term as local chief executive of this city. We will make this possible as we craft a new ELA for Angeles City,” said Pamintuan.

According to Department of the Interior and Local Gov-ernment (DILG) City Director Martin Moral, the vision of the city should be aligned with the national policies, plans, and goals of the President. Thus, conducting ELA will help in monitoring the progress of the activities in the city paral-lel to the national government goals.

EdPam vows to complete his Contract with the Angeleños

“The Executive-Legislative Agenda is a document that ar-ticulates the government pro-gram of the executive depart-ment. It contains the devel-opment priorities of the local chief executive towards the at-tainment of the LGU’s vision,” Moral explained.

“It contains the priori-ty projects, plans and activi-ties (PPA’s). It is the roadmap or blueprint of the campaign promises of the government offi cials that is put into a docu-ment as a reference and guide of the diff erent departments for the programs to be done for the next three years.” he added.

City Planning and Develop-ment Offi cer Engr. David Da-vid said that the focus of the ELA is to determine the PPA of the local government and what are the needed things to be done in achieving these goals.

David added that some of the major regional signifi cant project that is being undertak-en by the current administra-tion are the development of the Abacan Growth Corridor; development of road infra-structures such as the circum-ferential road, and bridges that will link the diff erent parts of the city for easier access.

Also included in the road network development program of the “social contract” is the building of linking roads to SC-

TEX that will be connected in the center of the city.

“The ELA is a term-based agenda that will be the picture of what and where will Ange-les be in the next three years,” said David

Meanwhile, the Sangguni-ang Panlungsod members led by Vice Mayor Bryan Matthew Nepomucenoo, expressed support to the development goals of the current adminis-tration.

“The main role of the city council is to aid the execu-tive branch in achieving the development goals aimed for the betterment of the city. We are here to assist our mayor through legislative actions,” said Vice Mayor Nepomuceno.

“Identifying the necessary ordinances that are needed in implementing the diff erent ac-tivities included in the ELA is one of our duties,” said incum-bent city councilor Amos Rive-ra.

Every three years, the local government hold the Execu-tive-Legislative Agenda where the diff erent plans and projects of the city are being reviewed in collaboration with the diff er-ent offi ces of the city govern-ment.

To date, 60% of Pamintu-an’s Contract with the Ange-leños was already accom-plished. –Angeles CIO

ABOITIZ Power Corp.’s fi rst energy educational facility, Cleanergy Center, continues to generate awareness on re-newable energy among Filipi-no and foreign visitors since its inauguration last August 28, 2013.

During its three years of operation, the Cleanergy Cen-ter has accommodated more than 20,000 visitors that in-clude students and profes-sionals from the government offi ces, non-government orga-nizations and industries.

“Education is one of the pri-mary thrusts of our corporate social responsibility. With the Cleanergy Center, we hope to increase awareness on the importance of renewable ener-gy and encourage Filipinos to adopt a more sustainable life-style,” said AboitizPower pres-ident and COO Antonio Mora-za.

Earlier this year, the cen-ter was visited by the Institute for Applied Geophysics and Geothermal Energy of RWTH Aachen University in Germa-ny.

Dr. Sonke Reiche of Aachen University described his group’s visit to the Clean-ergy Center as “insightful,” particularly on the history of

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Region IV-A, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Texas Instruments, Chevron, and the Economy and Educa-tion Programs for Southeast Asia also visited the Cleaner-gy Center this year.

“The tour was very infor-mative and exciting. I’ve re-quested Regional Director Rebecca Labit of the Depart-ment of Tourism to include the Cleanergy Center as a tourist destination, and even invit-ed state universities and col-leges, especially those with engineering courses, to visit the Cleanergy Center as part of their learning program,” said Luis Banua, Regional Director of NEDA-IV A.

To help raise environmen-tal awareness, the Cleanergy Center also put up an exhibit of its Cleanergy E-bike in the celebration of the Philippine Environment Month at SM City Sta. Rosa last June. The event was organized by the Depart-ment of Environment and Nat-ural Resource - Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) Laguna.

The Cleanergy Center, op-erated by AboitizPower wholly owned subsidiary AP Renew-ables, Inc. (APRI), is located inside the MakBan Geother-mal Power Plant in Brgy. Bitin, Bay, Laguna.

It features basic tools used in power generation, educa-tional videos about the diff er-ent types of energy sources, a tour of a working geother-mal power plant guided by an in-house curator and an in-teractive room, where visitors can enjoy activities like mak-ing their own wind turbine, charging phones by biking while burning some calories, among others.

Cleanergy Center also has VIP lounge room, viewing deck, audio-visual room, and a 100-seat amphitheater, which is being off ered as a free ven-ue to host seminars and fo-rums of various stakeholders.

To experience the Clean-ergy Center, contact APRI through their offi cial Face-book page at www.facebook.com/CleanergyCent er and/or email at [email protected]. Cleanergy Center is open Mondays to Fridays, except holidays, from 9am to 4pm. Prior reservation is re-quired. –Press release

You are hereby summoned and directed to fi le your Answer to the Notice of Valuation dated September 10, 2015 issued by herein petitioner, PARPO Eden B. Ponio, which is now fi led before this offi ce for the conduct of summary administrative proceedings for the determination of just compensation copy of which is herewith served upon you, within a non-extendible period of fi fteen (15) days from receipt thereof, furnishing a copy to the Petitioner pursuant to Section I, Rule VII of the 2009 DARAB Rules of Procedure, attaching therein your sworn answer and affi davits/counter affi davits of your witness/es and other documentary evidence, if any.

The summit was dubbed: Updates on the Anti-Illegal Drugs Cam-paign in the Province of Pampanga and was held at the Kingsborough Convention Center here where almost all the 505 barangay captains in Pampanga were pres-ent and most of its may-ors as well as municipal health offi cers (MHO), municipal social welfare and development offi -cers (MSWDOs); chiefs of police; and city, munic-ipal and barangay licens-ing offi cers took part.

Board Member Rosve Henson, who chairs the committee on public or-der and security in the provincial board, made the welcome remarks noting that it has been 50 days since some 10,200 drug surrenderees were herded at the Bren Z. Guiao Sports Complex here last July 21.

Now, Pineda wants concrete municipal and barangay action plans as well as regular moni-toring of drug surrender-ees. She also cautioned municipal and barangay licensing offi cers to be wary of applicants espe-cially if they are foreign-ers.

“Four years ago, I al-ready told licensing of-fi cers, mayors and ba-rangay captains… be-fore you give business permits or licenses, es-pecially if they are for-eigners who would like to operate piggeries, you need to look and inspect their premises,” she said.

“Do not issue licens-es if they refuse to be checked even if they pay you, you should check regularly and randomly to prevent these unscru-pulous groups from turn-ing their business into a criminal activity,” she warned.

During the summit, Pineda grieved over the gruesome murder of a mother and her son which happened just hours earlier right in her hometown of Lubao as she warned barangay captains to be aware of drug users and pushers in their villages.

She said she knew the victims’ family well coming from a coastal village in Barangay San Jose Gumi - the father of the victim was a former village chief while her late mother was a district supervisor of the Depart-ment of Education.

The governor also said a friend from Vir-ginia, USA told her that Kapampangans abroad are now very wary in coming home because of what happened during the recent town fi esta

Pineda presses mayors, village chiefs on action plans vs. drugsin Apalit where a balik-bayan was mauled to death by suspected drug addicts.

Pineda said the vic-tim’s wife is in Australia and up to now the sus-pects are still at large. “But we are looking for them and in fact I have put up a reward money of P100,000 per head for any information leading to the arrest of the three suspects,” she declared.

“That is why we are here today. It is not enough that we lec-tured the surrenderees that are now more than 11,000,” she said.

“We need to make municipal and barangay action plans. How can we report to President Duterte on what we did with the 11,000 surren-derees. Where’s the fol-low up?” she asked.

“Ito na ang pinaka-matinding campaign ng ating presidente. Hin-di lang pagka surrender ng 11,000 tama na, stop na tayo. Hindi pwede yon. Sinabi ko na sa inyo noon, dapat may-roon kayong action plan dapat active ang Ba-rangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council (This is the most intensive campaign of our president. It is not enough that we caused the surrender of 11,000 and then no more, we stop. That’s not accept-able. I told you before, you need to accomplish an action plan and your Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council should be active),” Pineda said.

PNP reportChief Insp. Michael

Jhon Riego from the Provincial Police Offi ce, said 10,627 users and 560 pushers for a total of 11,187 have surren-dered. And out of the 11,187 surrenderees, 5,532 participated in the physical fi tness program while 2,670 did not be-cause they were work-ing, according to Riego.

But Pineda wanted to know what happened to the more than 2,800 un-accounted surrenderees. Riego could only specu-late that they might have moved to other towns or provinces.

However, Riego not-ed that the crime sta-tistics drastically went down because of the war on drugs.

He reported that those killed in Pampan-ga from July to August are now 14 coming from the towns of Lubao, San Simon and Guagua and the City of San Fernan-do. He said the police are moving in line with PNP chief Director Gen-eral Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa’s “double barrel” strategy versus illegal drugs.

PDEA reportGlenn Guillermo,

public information offi cer of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Authori-ty (PDEA) Region 3, re-ported that some P1.7 billion worth of shabu weighing more than half a ton, have been seized by the agency since July.

Guillermo said there were fi ve shabu labora-tories dismantled in the province and the fl oat-ing laboratory onboard a vessel in Subic.

The PDEA also said six incidents of dumping of shabu ingredients and equipment along the SC-TEx and TIPLEx have so far been recorded.

“If you will look at the seized chemicals, PDEA can put up a mega sha-bu factory,” Guillermo noted.

He also said the PDEA is conducting a seminar for OFWs on the dangers of being a drug courier which is incorpo-rated in their pre-depar-ture orientation seminar.

PDRRM reportAngie Blanco, Pro-

vincial Disaster Risk Re-duction Management (PDRRM) offi cer, gave an update on the imple-mentation of the “Dalan ning Pamagbayu (The road to change) pro-gram” of the provincial government as to the status of drug reforma-tion centers.

Blanco said the di-rector of the Central Lu-zon Drug Rehabilitation Center (CLDRC) in Ma-galang has agreed to sign a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the use of three buildings in the center to house the reformation center of the province.

Blanco said the tech-no center of the Depart-ment of Trade and In-dustry and Technology Resource Center in Ba-rangay Pio, Porac which is now under the De-partment of Science and Technology and once designated as an evacu-ation center will now be used as a reformation fa-cility.

The provincial gov-ernment has already put up 24 toilets for male and female and a big kitchen in the facility, she said.

Blanco said the Pal-mayo techno center in Floridablanca has also been identifi ed as a ref-ormation facility and a MOA between prov-ince and the LGU will be signed for this purpose.

Blanco reported that the provincial govern-ment organized the Nan-ay Community Workers whose 8,581members will function as commu-nity drug watchers to help the village chiefs in

monitoring the activities of drug surrenderees.

She said in line with this, the briefi ng of all BA-DAC members in Pam-panga numbering 4,040 members including the barangay captains have also been done.

PHO reportDr. Jose Antonio

“Jay” Rivera, OIC of the Provincial Health Offi ce, discussed the manage-ment of provincial reha-bilitation centers and the importance of seamless coordination between the MHOs and the chiefs of police.

Rivera said the eval-uation made by MHOs on the surrenderees will lead into either, “they go to the physical fi tness or reformation centers or they go into rehabilitation centers.”

Rivera stressed the importance of aware-ness, identifi cation and interaction so that the problem of drug abuse will be nip in the bud.

He said MSWDOs and MHOs are properly trained to assess surren-derees - the former get their history and profi le while the latter to deter-mine their addiction from the medical point of view.

Compassionate and proper medical manage-ment is important to treat drug addiction, he said.

“If they surrender to the police, they should immediately be coordi-nated with the MHOs or rural health units for as-sessment,” he said.

He said all surrender-ees should be seen by the MHO or RHU evalu-ating team to determine who among the drug de-pendents goes into reha-bilitation and those that are qualifi ed for the ref-ormation program or out-patients.

Rivera said he was glad that there was a “meet and greet” be-tween the MHOs and chiefs of police during the summit even if they have been long acquainted with each other because their proper coordination is necessary in the fi ght against illegal drugs.

Before they undergo reformation, the surren-derees should under-go another examination to determine if they are physically fi t. This is im-portant because most of the surrenderees are not physically fi t, Rivera said.

“Some suff ered sei-zures or bouts of epilep-sy because their electro-lytes are not balance so a little bit of perspiration and their electrolytes goes down and they suf-fer epilepsy,” he noted.

Rivera also said only the Diosdado Macapagal

Hospital in Guagua is ac-credited by the Depart-ment of Health (DOH) for the standardize drug testing. But the hospital can test only three sur-renderees per hour or 24 surrenderees per day or 192 per week.

Meanwhile, DOH re-gional director Leonita P. Gorgolon announced the ongoing construction of the Treatment Rehabil-itation Center (TRC) in Fort Magsaysay, Laur, Nueva Ecija.

Gorgolon said the mega TRC for drug sur-renderees, which has a 2,200-bed capacity, was donated by China and will be operational by November where severe cases of drug dependen-cy will be treated.

She said experi-menter and moderate drug dependents will be confi ned to the half-way houses or reforma-tion centers that were already identifi ed by the provincial government.

MRT 7 inter-modal station in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.”

“We are hopeful that the President’s order be realized all over the country, to give hope

and diff use the anxiety of farmers over displace-ment,” Casilao said.

“May this develop-ment serve as a warning against the landlord oli-garchs who scheme of displacing farmers in or-der to rake up profi ts from

land speculation. We urge the various sectors to support this presiden-tial measure, for the pro-tection of farmers’ rights, as well as the country’s food security,” he added.

Anakpawis,the partyl-ist which Mariano used

to represent in Con-gress, has also been lobbying for the Genu-ine Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB) that pushes for free distribution of lands and prohibits conversion of agricultural lands.

Brillante Mendoza’s Ma’Rosa entry to the 2017 Oscars Awards

HIGHLY ACCLAIMED director Brillante Mendoza’s Ma’Rosa is the offi cial submission of the Philippines to the 2017 Academy Awards.

The Film Academy of the Philippines chose this drama fi lm to vie for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 89th Academy Awards.

Jaclyn Jose earned the Best Actress trophy at this year’s Cannes Film Fest for her portrayal of Rosa, a family matriarch who uses their sari-sari store as a front to sell illegal drugs. She and her husband (played by Julio Diaz) are detained by corrupt policemen while their children (played by Andi Eigenmann, Felix Roco and Jomari Angeles) try to raise funds for their freedom.

The Film Academy of the Philippines picked Ma’Rosa among other shortlisted fi lms, including Gil Portes’ Ang Hapis at Himagsik ni Hermano Puli, Lav Diaz’s Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis, Erik Matti’s Honor Thy Father, Derick Cabrido’s Nora Aunor-starrer Tuos, Eduardo Roy’s Pamilya Ordinaryo, and Joel Lamangan’s Felix Manalo.

Another Lav Diaz fi lm was added to the shortlist: Ang Babaeng Humayo. Starring Charo Santos Concio and John Lloyd Cruz, it recently won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Fest.

Director Edgardo ‘Boy’ Vinarao serves as the head of the selection committee of the FAP while the members include director Jose Carreon, Director Mike Sandejas, actor/scriptwriter Ed Rocha, cinematographer Lee Meily, actor Michael de Mesa and actress Cherie Gil.

The 89th Academy Awards will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on Febr uary 26, 2017.

In a phone interview with Direk Brillante Mendoza, .“I’m very happy. I’m very glad na fi nally na-recognize ako ng Academy after 10 years. Masaya ako dun..

He explained, “Nagulat talaga ako kasi hindi naman ako nage-expect.”

What can he say about the strong Oscar buzz for Ang Babaeng Humayo (The Woman Who Left)?

‘That’s why hindi na ako nag-expect kasi ine-expect ko yun ang kukunin nila.’

What are his immediate plans for the campaign? “As we speak, pinapalabas ang Ma’Rosa sa Toronto,

na alam natin ang Toronto ay gateway sa North American premiere. Dun sila lahat nagkakampanya for consideration.”

The veteran fi lmmaker believes chances are high for Ma’Rosa since its distributor is the same company that

distributed Son of Saul. This Holocaust movie from Hungary emerged as the Best Foreign Language

Film in last year’s Academy Awards. q q q

JAMES REID denied the rumors involving his sister’s name Lauren Reid in the Gab Valenciano-Tricia Centenera break up.

“All I have to say is it’s not true!“She’s the one who told me

(about it).“She said, ‘You know this

is out, blah, blah, but it’s not true.’”

Has Lauren been aff ected by the issue?

“No. Nakalimutan na niya.

Are they friends? Lauren and Gab?

“They’ve met. And that’s it.”

Some speculates that the real cause of Gab and Tricia’s split up are Cosplayers like Alodia Gosiengfi ao, Issa Pressman (younger sister of Yassi pressman), and model Dani Camcam.

Issa denied the issue linking her with Gab, while

Alodia and Dani hasn’t spoken up.

“Holidays are truly bigger and brighter at Widus as we commit ourselves in making this Christmas season merri-er for our guests by enhanc-ing our entertainment off erings with new casino games, the latest slot machines and more luxury prizes.”, Widus Casino Vice President for Gaming Op-erations David Lawrence said.

Widus Casino excites with early yuletide offeringsTHE PHILIPPINES’ leading

carrier, Cebu Pacifi c (PSE: CEB), remains committed to the development of the Clark International Airport (CIA) in Pampanga.

Beginning December 16, 2016, CEB will increase its Clark-Cebu-Clark operations from three to six times week-ly while Clark-Hong Kong-Clark will be up from seven to 10 times weekly. These additional fl ights may now be booked via CEB’s offi cial website, mobile app, reser-vation hotlines and ticket of-fi ces.

By adding more fl ights between Clark and Hong Kong, CEB hopes to further stimulate economic trade and investments from one of Asia’s largest fi nancial hubs to North and Central Luzon. On the other hand, increased fl ights from Clark to the Phil-ippines’ second largest city, Cebu, will boost domestic tourism opportunities.

CEB is the only Philippine carrier that operates fl ights out of Clark and has done so since November 2008. CEB currently operates 21 fl ights weekly from Clark to Cebu, Hong Kong, Macau, and Sin-gapore, utilizing 180-seat-er Airbus A320 aircraft. This further growth in Clark op-erations will increase CEB’s commitment to 27 weekly fl ights.

“As one of CEB’s six stra-

CEB expands operations at Clark International Airport

tegic hubs in the country, CEB will continue to grow Clark to serve the needs of North and CentralLuzon. The additional frequencies and further invest-ments strengthen our commit-ment to the development of the country’s airports. We sin-cerely look forward to the pro-gression of fl ight and ground operations at Clark as well as a furthering of incentives that Clark will off er to the carriers,” says Atty. JR Mantaring, CEB Vice President for Corporate Aff airs.

Aside from operating fl ights, CEB has also estab-lished its own maintenance, repair and overhaul provider, the SIA Engineering Philip-pines (SIAEP), at the CIA. In-corporated in 2008, the state-of-the-art facility is a joint ven-ture with the SIA Engineer-ing Company of Singapore (SIAEC), and features three hangars that serve to perform base maintenance, line main-tenance, and air-worthiness approvals for CEB.

The airline also utilizes the Philippine Academy for Avia-tion Training (PAAT), another joint venture with the global civil aviation and defense train-ing leader CAE, at the Clark Special Economic Zone. The training center off ers type-rat-ing and recurrency training for the Airbus A320 family.

In 2015, CEB carried over 330,000 passengers to and from Clark. The robust fi gures

continue into 2016, which saw CEB fl ying more than 190,000 passengers to and from Clark from January to July.

CEB off ers fl ights to 36 domestic and 30 internation-al destinations, covering an extensive network that spans Asia, Australia, and the Mid-dle East. Its 57-strong fl eet is comprised of seven Air-bus A319, 36 Airbus A320, six Airbus A330, and eight ATR 72-500 aircraft. Be-tween 2016 and 2021, CEB expects delivery of 32 Airbus A321neo, two Airbus A330, and 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft.

For bookings and in-quiries, guests can vis-it www.cebupacifi cair.com or call the reservation ho-tlines (+632)7020-888 or (+6332)230-8888. The latest seat sales can be found on CEB’s offi cial Twitter (@Ce-buPacifi cAir) and Facebook pages.

“The Department of Transportation and DOLE took the lead for the establishment of the said Center at CFZ. The Clark Development Cor-poration also provided support for the establish-ment of the facility,” said a statement from CIAC which also helped put up the center.

CIAC said the project is “in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) commitment to streamline government processes particularly for OFWs.”

“The one-stop-shop center will provide ser-vices such as the pro-cessing of the Overseas Employment Certifi cate (OEC), NBI clearances , the processing of Pag-IBIG OFW members contributions, PhilHealth payment premium con-tributions and members registration, SSS regis-tration and membership data amendment includ-ing acceptance of loans and benefi ts claim appli-cations, PSA’s process-ing and issuance of birth certifi cate, marriage cer-tifi cate, death certifi cate, and certifi cate of no mar-riage,” CIAC said.

The center would

also be venue for Ma-rina’s issuance and re-validation of seamans’ book, issuance of PRC’s professional licenses and TESDA’s issuance of training certifi cations and applications for scholarship programs.

Wifi signal is also available for free in the area, CIAC also said.

CIAC has been urg-ing OFW’s from all re-gions north of Metro Ma-nila to fl y from or land at the Clark airport here, instead of travelling far-ther and adding to traffi c congestion at the Ninoy Aquino International Air-port in Manila.

“In order to encour-age investments in la-

which will reduce the country’s high unemploy-ment problem, we urge the modernization of the labor code to relax the code’s short and strict labor security provisions and to allow for workers and companies to free-

ly negotiate wages,” the FEF statement said.

The group also urged the Duterte administra-tion “to consider the cre-ation of special econom-ic zones where labor-in-tensive industries can be set up, exempted from the mandatory imple-

mentation of legal mini-mum wages.”

It noted that “ labor-in-tensive industries like garments and light man-ufacturing are avoiding the Philippines because of its high minimum wag-es and they now prefer Vietnam and Indonesia.”

lice, were still holding a press conference at the Lubao Municipal Hall as of press time presenting the suspect identifi ed as Ronel Canilao,22, a res-ident of Sitio Mabuhay in the same village. The suspect was reportedly drunk when he commit-ted the heinous crime.

According to Ma-sangkay, they got a lead on Canilao and fol-lowed it up until they got to Cavite and then to Baclaran. But when the suspect sensed that he was being followed, Ma-sangkay said he went back to Pampanga and was fi nally nabbed in Floridablanca town.

Masangkay said Canilao admitted to the crime and that he used to take illegal drugs but

said they are now in pos-session of a watch that belonged to the victim and Canilao has agreed to tell the police where he kept the victim’s cell-phone and ipad tablet.

It was supposed to be the 10th birthday celebration of Dwayne Joss Garcia until trag-edy struck even before he could wake up on Wednesday leaving him brutally murdered with a slit in his throat and his mother Jenny, 41, sprawled next to him with several stab wounds in their own bedroom, ap-parently a victim of rape.

On Wednesday, Pi-neda, who was attend-ing the anti-illegal drugs summit here, rushed to Lubao as soon as he got wind of the news.

According to a police

report, one Jose Pineda y Roncal, a resident of the same barangay, in-formed the police upon the discovery of the bod-ies of the victims.

Initial police investi-gation said the gruesome murder was committed between 9:35 p.m. and 7 a.m. The mother’s body was found without lower garments while her cell-phone and ipad tablet were missing, according to police.

However, other valu-able items and jewelry are still intact, the police said.

Pineda said the vic-tim was a teacher at the San Jose Gumi Elemen-tary School while her fa-ther is a former barangay captain during his time as town mayor and was even one of his leaders. Her mother was a retired

district supervisor of the Department of Educa-tion and was recently de-ceased.

Reports said Jenny was estranged from her husband, the father of their son, who is working in Saudi. But she has a present boyfriend who is working in Korea.

Meanwhile, Pineda said they are still con-fi rming if the suspect was a drug surrenderee.

“Karen pung kabalen ku eko pu migaganaka rare case ya pu ini pero kailangan tang dinan solusyun (to my town-mates do not worry this is a rare case but we need to solve this imme-diately),” the vice gover-nor said.

San Jose Gumi is a peaceful coastal baran-gay in Lubao, he said.

City Civil Registrar Rimando Umali said the city ranked 6th in the Top 10 Local Civil Registry Offi ce for the Extra Large Category in 2015.

“This signifi es an important advancement in the city because we even exceeded some of the coun-try’s highly-urbanized cities” Umali added.

The recognition was given during the 8th National Workshop on Civil Registration held in Iloilo City.

PSA holds the awarding every two years with the aim to distinguish LCROs that effi ciently manage data collection and administer civil registration in the country.

For his part, Mayor Edwin D. Santiago said the local government ensures fast and eff ective public services to the Fernandinos particularly in process-ing legal documents.

“We want to uphold and stress the importance of continuous recording of births, death, marriages and other concerns on the status of a person by provid-ing accurate and updated statistics,” Mayor EdSa fur-thered.

Other awardees include Cebu City (1st), Balan-ga City (2nd), Bacoor, Cavite (3rd), Batangas City (4th) and General Santos City (5th). While the cities of Muntinlupa, Manila, Marikina and Iligan landed 7th to 10th place, respectively. –CSFP-CIO
