According to Nars sa Nay-on Chief Ruby San Miguel, 2,686 of the benefi ciaries are patients undergoing dialysis while the remaining 598 pa-tients are undergoing chemo-therapy.

San Miguel said the provin-cial government will give addi-tional 4 sessions of dialysis to chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

“Aside from the 90 sessions of dialysis from Philhealth, the provincial government is also providing additional four ses-sions to CKD patients. We’re also giving medicines such as epoietin to patients whose di-alysis center is not accredited by the provincial government,” San Miguel said.

The Nars sa Nayon chief also disclosed that cancer patients are also receiving P10,000 to P15,000 worth of assistance quarterly for their chemotherapy.

Provincial Social Worker Elizabeth Baybayan said the distribution of assistance to the patients is a regular pro-gram of the provincial govern-ment to augment the resourc-es of the patients. – Liezel Cayanan/Pampanga PIO

Ang belen ay gawa sa mga indigenous materials tulad ng kawayan.

Twenty-eight schools and universities parad-ed their colorful ‘parols,’ made of indigenous ma-

terials, from Pampanga High School going to the city hall.

“Our city is known as the country’s Christmas capital for its well-craft-ed lanterns and we want to inspire the next gen-eration to engage them-selves in the art of lan-tern making so as to pre-serve the industry,” add-ed Mayor Edsa.

Meanwhile, Panda-ras Integrated School bested 11 contenders in the lantern parade com-petition for the elementa-ry category. San Fernan-

do Elementary School and San Jose Juliana Elementary School were awarded as second and third place, respectively.

For the high school category, winners were Lara Integrated School (1st place), Pampanga High School (2nd place) and St. Nicolas College of Business and Technol-ogy (3rd place).

Opinion

Déjà vuBUSINESSLIKE BUT not dour. In fact, they’re all smiles. That’s the photograph the Clark International Airport Corp. issued Wednesday of its still-OIC head signing a memorandum of agreement with the top brass of Philippine Airlines.

The caption said it all: “CIAC Acting President and CEO Alexander Cauguiran signs a memorandum of agreement with Philippine Airlines offi cials Stewart Lim, executive VP, treasurer and chief administrative offi cer; president and COO Jaime Bautista; PAL Express president Bonifacio Sam; and senior VP for airline operations Ismael Augusto Gozon at the PAL corporate headquarters in Pasay City specifying the commitments of both entities for the operation of domestic and international fl ights by the fl ag-carrier from the Clark International Airport (CRK) in Pampanga. The fi rst of these fl ights, a daily fl ight to Caticlan from Clark, will start on Friday, December 16. Flights to Cebu, Davao, Cagayan and Incheon, South Korea will follow in the fi rst quarter of next year.”

Wowoweeee!Everybody hereabouts is celebrating. But

not me. Have not only heard of but even been part

of this exhilaration that always comes with the happy news of increasing fl ights at Clark. Only to crash in disappointment, not so soon though thereafter.

So, PAL is fl ying Clark-Caticlan-Clark this Friday, Dec. 16.

Yeah, some portent to come in the timing there which is but a day to the very day this following piece appeared here three short years ago: Clark’s roar.

TIGERAIR PHILIPPINES starts today, Dec. 17, 2013, its thrice weekly Clark-Davao fl ights.

Reopening the route AirAsia Phil accessed on March 29, 2012, only to abandon in October this year.

This coming and going was foremost in the collective media mindset at Friday’s launch of this newest ticket at the Clark International Airport. Having been there in all the maiden fl ights of AirAsia Phil to both domestic and regional destinations, hearing – and feeling – its advocacy for the CIA as “most ideal” gateway.

“Clark International Airport is a vital location for our operations, especially in our fl ights in the Asia-Pacifi c region, and we intend to expand our presence in the area,” Tigerair Phil President Olive Ramos declared.

Qualifi ed the lady boss: “Tigerair will maximize its presence in Clark and as a hub for its fl ights because of its ideal location. Unlike the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Metro Manila, it is not as busy and congested.”

And then some more: “Operating in Clark off ers many incentives, such like the fuel is tax free, and fuel is 60 percent to 70 percent of the cost of operating carriers, that’s why it is cheaper to fl y out of Clark.”

Capped with the come-on: “With these fl ight, travellers from Northern and Central Luzon no longer need to drive all the way to Metro Manila to take their fl ights to these destinations.”

Haven’t we heard all these before? Actually, a recurring refrain in all of AirAsia

Phil’s maiden fl ights – Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Davao, Puerto Princesa and Kalibo too – alas, all gone.

Virtually verbatim at the Emirates’ daily Dubai-Clark-Dubai launch last October 1. Which moved Business Mirror’s Joey Pavia to ask, rather pointedly, Mohammed Mattar, Emirates divisional senior vice president: “How deep is your pocket? Will you not pull out (of Clark) once your planes fl y way below their passenger capacities?”

Rather than a straight answer, we heard Mr. Mattar tell the story of Emirates’ maiden fl ight to Mumbai with only fi ve passengers and the low, low pax volume in the succeeding fl ights, only to culminate to the now fully booked, fi ve-times-daily Dubai-Mumbai fl ights.

“We are sure that we will do good in Clark after many studies in the market. We are not worried and we will do good here in Clark just like in Manila.” So was Mr, Mattar quoted in news reports then.

While, far from fully-packed, the Clark-Dubai fl ight has markedly risen in capacity, and is expected to increase some more, with the holiday seasons.

Why, our family has been rather busy lately with arriving relatives from Saudi Arabia at Clark via Dubai.

Faced with the same Pavia poser, Tigerair’s Madame Olive did a Mattar: “We are here to stay. Focused as we are on what the people of Central and Northern Luzon need and want.”

Not only to stay – if we may give our one-way ticket’s worth – but to grow. As indeed Tigerair has – the Singapore-fl agged parent company opening at Clark with daily fl ight to the “fi ne” city-state, then veritably absorbing Seair, evolving into its present corporate body with expanded reach to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kalibo, and now Davao, seeking to reach further in 2014 to Incheon and Tokyo.

What mighty roar there. So that when Clark International Airport Corp. President-CEO Victor Jose Luciano was asked how viable has Clark remained in the wake of AirAsia Phil’s pull-out, his snap-of-the-fi nger answer: “Take a look at Tigerair.”

Yeah, right there is the new poster boy for the Clark airport.

ONLY, IN but a few months thereafter, there was no Tigerair to look at around Clark. After its absorption by Cebu Pacifi c Air, Tigerair Phil ceased all its operations in then-Luciano’s now-Cauguiran’s airport.

We do remember too that after so much pronouncements of bullishness, PAL Express, then called Airphil Express, did indeed put up some fl ights at Clark. Only to silently slip away in less than a year.

Still here’s hoping against hope that this time PAL’s fl ights at Clark will take longer spans, if not for keeps.

But sorry, I just can’t put down my guarded pessimism, having been burned so many times. Count now airlines that have come to and gone from Clark – Asian Spirit, Zest Air, Seair, Emirates, AirAsia Phil, AirAsia Berhad, Airphil Express, Tigerair.

Playing ScroogeSILENT NIGHTS maybe but the days are disquiet at the Clark Freeport of late.

Members of the Association of Concerned Clark Development Corp. Employees (ACCES) have been in protest mode for the last two weeks demanding that CDC management honor their collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

“For six years now we have not received the benefi ts due to us under the CBA. The previous CDC administration has taken away all benefi ts invoking Republic Act 10149,” charged Paul Mamangun, ACCES rank and fi le president.

RA 10149 is titled, rather lengthily, as “An Act to Promote Financial Viability and Fiscal Discipline in Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations and to Strengthen the Role of the State in its Governance and Management to Make Them More Responsive to the Needs of Public Interest and for Other Purposes.”

In short, RA 10149 is – to workers in GOCCs – a government mandate for penny-pinching.

“Ayaw nilang makipag-usap,” Mamangun lamented CDC management’s snooty stand to not come to the dialog table.

Though the CDC, in a statement issued by its Communications Department, has rather fi rmly, if succinctly, riposted: “ACCES offi cers have been told many times over that the CDC’s arms, as a government corporation, are tied by certain prohibitions imposed by the new prohibitions and rules against new economic benefi ts.”

“Prohibitions imposed by new prohibitions.” A double take there, if only to impact the stringency of RA 10149?

Furthered the CDC statement: “While it is everyone’s goal for better economic status, we are duty bound to uphold certain rules.”

Yeah, helplessly devoted to follow the law.

Even as, in the spirit, nay, dispirit, of the season, CDC perfectly plays the miserly Scrooge there.

Bah! Humbug!Here’s hoping no haunting at Clark by the

spirits of Christmases past.

ON DECEMBER 15, 1875, Emilio Jacinto, the so-called “Brains of the Revolution”, was born in Trozo, Tondo, Manila to Mariano Jacinto and Jose-fa Dizon.

Jacinto, one of the young-est members of the revolution-ary society at the age of 18, stopped his law schooling at the University of Santo Tomas to join the Katipunan.

Emilio Jacinto wrote the

“Kartilya ng Katipunan”, the primer of the revolutionaries, he was the founder and edi-tor of the society’s newspaper Kalayaan (Freedom) which voiced the aspiration of the people. He also served as Bonifacio’s secretary and fi s-cal, as well as supervised the manufacture of gunpowder to be used by the Katipuneros in battle.

After Bonifacio’s death, Ja-

cinto continued fi ghting the Spaniards but refused to join the forces of General Emilio Aguinaldo.

Jacinto was wounded criti-cally during one of the battles in Majayjay, Laguna and even-tually contracted malaria which led to his death on April 16, 1899 at the young age of 23.

His remains were later transferred to the Manila North Cemetery.

Emilio Jacinto is born in Tondo, Manila

Napag-uusapanLangFelix M. Garcia

‘Final term’ na, pero aktibo pa

NASA HULING term na ng panunungkulan

si ‘World Class City Mayor’ Ed Pamintuan,

ng Angeles, pero kung ga’no kasikhay

nang una, ‘yon pa rin sa kasalukuyan

Sa pagtalima niya sa tungkuling dapat

gampanan para sa mahal niyang kasiyudad;

at halos ay walang sinayang na oras

bilang isang responsableng ‘public servant’

Kaya naman halos ay di na mabilang

ang ‘awards’ at iba’t-iba pang parangal

na natanggap mula sa internasyonal

at panglokal nating ‘awarding bodies’ dyan.

Di minamaliit ng aba n’yong lingkod

ang nagawa r’yan ng unang nagsiluklok

bilang city Mayor ng kanilang lungsod,

pero kakaiba ang kanyang naging rekord

Pagdating sa ‘public service’ at iba pa,

na di mapantayan ng sinundan niya;

sanhi na rin nitong uri ng pagrenda

ni EdPam na lubhang kakaiba talaga.

Ilang alkalde na ang nagpalit-palit

umupo, natalo at muling bumalik?

Pero sino itong sa ‘spaghetti wires’

sa sentro ng Plaza Angel nagpaalis?

Kundi si EdPam na walang kapaguran

pagdating sa puntong palingkurang bayan?

(Di gaya ng ibang kapag ‘last term’ na n’yan

ay di na makapa halos sa tanggapan!)

Ang Pandan-Magalang Road ay nagawa rin

during his 2nd term – at itong Lazatin

Hospital, na dating ONA, patuloy ding

binibigyan niya ng matamang pansin.

Kung saan ay iba’t-ibang makabagong

‘medical instrument’ ang nakaya nitong

hingin ‘from friends abroad by means of donation,’

(at saka bigay ng kaibigang doctors).

Kaya naman halos ngayo’y kumpleto na

sa ‘medical apparatus’ at iba pa

ang naturang public hospital, liban sa

yan ay na-renovate sa panahon niya.

Imbes sabungan o isang ‘Sports Complex’

ang ipinatayo niya’y City College,

kung kaya’t ang dukha na taga Angeles

nakapag-kolehiyo dahil kay Mayor Ed.

Nasolusyon din ang ‘traffi c congestion’

papasok, palabas d’yan sa may ‘city hall’

dahil sa kalsadang bagong gawa ngayon,

na patungong Clark at iba pang direksyon.

At dahil wala na yatang mapaglagyan

ang maralita sa sementeryong bayan;

kabilang ngayon ‘yan sa tinututukan,

ni EdPam bago siya bumabang tuluyan.

At marami pa ring balak isaayos

si Mayor para sa mahal niyang kalungsod,

bago ang ‘fi nal term’ niya ay matapos,

bilang ‘Outstanding Mayor’ nitong lungsod.

At di nga kagaya ng ibang opisyal,

na kapag ‘last term’ na ng panunungkulan

ay di na makapa itong karamihan,

lalo pa’t wala nang balak tumakbo yan!

ANGELES CITY- A warrant of arrest has been issued here for the arrest of three securi-ty personnel for the killing of a policeman in the parking lot of SM City Clark mall here on the eve of Christmas Day last year, but the names did not include that of a retired gen-eral who was then the securi-ty chief of the Clark Develop-ment Corp. (CDC).

The warrant named only CDC security personnel Jake Machinal and mall security guards Wilson Laza and Hon-ey Bernardo, said a local po-lice source who asked not to be named for lack of authority to talk about the arrest order. The source also declined to reveal which court issued the arrest warrant.

The three were accused in the killing of PO1 Jomar Batul whom the CDC security depart-ment, then headed by retired

1 YEAR AFTER INCIDENT

Arrest order vs. suspects in killingof cop on mall lot excludes general

Air Force Gen. Ricardo Ban-ayat, accused of attempting to steal a motorcycle within Clark Freeport and then comman-deering a van up to the area of SM Clark where he was shot dead at the parking lot in the afternoon of Dec. 24 last year.

Batul, who was assigned at the Mindoro Oriental police, was vacationing with his family at the Fontana Leisure Park at that time.

The CDC claimed Batul was the fi rst to fi re at the secu-rity men, but paraffi n tests later showed negative results. The CDC also failed to produce the victim’s alleged gun, as well as his handbag that reportedly contained P40,000.

A copy of the paraffi n test result dated December 25, 2015 said that “qualitative ex-amination conducted on the paraffi n cast taken from both hands of the above-cited ca-daver gave negative result to the test for the presence of

gunpowder nitrates.”An initial report of the An-

geles police named Banayat among the suspects. Ban-ayat was recruited to head the CDC security department by then CDC president Arthur Tu-gade, who is now Transporta-tion secretary under the Duter-te government.

A CDC report claimed Ba-tul possessed drug parapher-nalia, including a tooter and aluminum foil and an empty plastic sachet purportedly con-taining shabu, but these were turned over to the police only fi ve hours after the shooting.

Suspects identifi ed by the police were noted to have ig-nored summons to shed light on the shooting.

Batul suff ered two gunshot wounds on his head, one on his right shoulder, one on his left arm and one on his foot. He died two hours after he was brought to the Ospital Ning An-geles.

CLARK FREEPORT— The offi cers of Clark Locators and Investors Association (CILA) lauded the appointment of Noel F. Manankil president and chief executive offi cer of Clark Development Corpo-ration during the 4th Quarter General Membership meeting (GMM) of the association.

Manankil was the guest speaker during the 4th GMM of CILA held at the Convention Center of Widus Hotel and Ca-sino here.

Manankil is an accountant and fi nished his baccalaureate degree at the Dela Salle Uni-versity in 1991 in Manila and taught part time accountancy subjects at the two universi-ties in Angeles City. Manankil started as a rank and fi le em-ployee of the state-owned fi rm

CILA lauds Manankil’s appointmentin 1995.

Before the presentation of Manankil on the plans and programs of CDC for the 2017, CILA President Joselito Go said that their group is looking forward to establishing a close working relationship with CDC to achieve more milestone in-side this Freeport.

“Congratulations to NFM as the new President and CEO of CDC. We are looking forward for continuing part-nership and more collabora-tive discussions on issues and concerns that will make the lives of locators and investors of Clark easier and more con-venient, worthy and produc-tive, Go said.

“Good luck to all the up-coming big projects and CILA will always work hand in hand

with you because we believe… Everything Clark!,” Go said.

Likewise, CILA Chairper-son Jeannie Ng said “he is unique (referring to Manankil) because unlike previous pres-idents who came from the out-side, he has been with CDC for 21 years and he rose from the ranks. Because of this, he has the potential to be the best president of CDC.”

In the meeting, Manankil presented to the CILA mem-bers programs lined-up for 2017, especially during the ASEAN Summit which will be held in this Freeport.

Manankil in his 10-min-ute presentation also updated the group on various develop-ments inside and outside of the Freeport.

The two said they were entrapping Lam, but the plan backfi red when they were caught holding the bags con-taining P50 million in cash. The other day, they turned over P30 mil-lion of the P50 million to Justice Secretary Vitalia-no Aguirre II ostensibly for safekeeping.

ed as middleman, and P18 million was alleged-ly given to BI Intelligence Division chief Charles Calima Jr.

Fontana owner Jack Lam’s representative Wally Sombero was re-ported to have laughed off the claim of Argosino and Robles, intimating it was a case of extortion.

Clark BI one-stop-shop chief Karen Gan-darma cited reports that almost all of some 600 undocumented Chinese have already settled bail reportedly costing over P50,000 each. She said they paid bail last Dec. 5

and 6 at a temporary of-fi ce of BI Alien Registra-tion Division (ARD).

“I set up temporary of-fi ce for ARD here in my offi ce and they also used our biometrics for the bail process,” Gandarma said.

“That’s the only par-ticipation of my offi ce in the current Fontana con-troversy,” she added.

Gandarma said the rest of the arrested Chi-nese had proper work-ing visas based on the scrutiny of the Clark De-velopment Corp. (CDC) which manages this free-port and the Department of Labor and Emloyment.

She said that the

bailed Chinese are barred from leaving the country until they have been cleared by the BI. On the other hand, the other Chinese nation-als face downgrading of their visas from working to tourist as they no lon-ger have work at Fon-tana which was ordered shot down by CDC.

Pres. Duterte had or-dered the arrest of Lam, who had fl ed to Macau, on charges of bribery and economic sabotage, but later said Lam could return and resume busi-ness after complying with some conditions.

Cauiguiran also said Clark airport has been included in the Com-munications, Naviga-tion and Surveillance Air Traffi c Management (CNS-ATM) system of the CAAP.

“The CNS-ATM will improve the handling and transfer of infor-mation, extend surveil-lance and improve nav-

igational accuracy. This will lead to, among oth-er things, increased airspace capacity,” he said.

Cauguiran said “the integration of Clark Air-port in the state of the art communications, navi-gation and surveillance air traffi c management system will further en-hance the airports ca-pability to monitor the fl ight movements since more domestic and in-ternational airlines are expected to operate at

Clark.”“Starting Dec. 16,

Philippine Airlines (PAL) will start fl ying daily the Clark-Caticlan route. The daily Clark-Cati-clan route will depart at 11:30 am in Clark and 10:00am in Caticlan,” he announced.

PAL will also com-mence domestic fl ights to Davao, Busuanga and Cagayan De Oro and international fl ights to Incheon South Korea by January next year, he added.

Cebu Pacifi c and oth-er domestic and interna-tional carriers have also announced increased fl ights and new routes via Clark.

“Safety of our pas-sengers is above every-thing for us at CRK, our compliance with interna-tional aviation standards and the inclusion of the Clark Airport in the mon-itoring system and cov-erage of the CNS-ATM makes us a lot safer as an airport,” Cauguiran said.

BALANGA CITY – A six-year-old daughter of a tricycle driv-er was sexually molested by another tricycle driver here Monday noon.

Police arrested Raphael Urquiza, 36, of Barangay San Jose this city, after the frail girl pointed to him as the one who placed something on her pri-vate part.

“Hinatak ako ng lalake, pinadapa at may ipinasok sa pepe ko,” the victim’s moth-er said was the reply of her Grade 1 daughter when she asked why she was crying and had blood on her thighs.

She said that she brought her daughter at the Bataan General Hospital where the attending physician told her

“may pilit na ipinasok ang lala-ki sa ari ng anak mo.”

P03 Valentina De Lena, head of Balanga City po-lice Women’s and Children’s Desk, said the little girl accom-panied her to the place where the suspect grabbed her. “Vic-tim does not know what the suspect inserted in her ‘ari’,” the policewoman said.

She said that the victim and her younger sister were on the way home after taking a bath at a free-fl owing well near the village hall when the suspect grabbed the little girl and brought her inside his house.

De Lena said suspect was charged for rape in relation to Republic Act 7610 and is now detained at the Bataan provin-cial jail.
