INIHAYAG kahapon ni Audit Commissioner Heidi Men-doza na may mga nagbanta sa kanya sa gitna ngpaglilitis sa mga kasong katiwalian laban kay dating-Makati mayor Elenita Binay sa Sandiganbayan.

Sa pagpapatuloy ng pagdinigng Senado sa umano’y overpric-ing sa P2.8-bilyong Makati park-ing building, ipinakita ni Mendo-za sa mga senador ang mga ka-puna-punang resulta ng audit naginawa niya noong 2002 sa pag-bili ng Makati sa P70-milyong

halaga ng gamit pang-ospitalnoong 2000 at 2001, kung

kailan nagkaroon umano ng P61milyong overpice.

Bunga niyon, tumatayo siMendoza bilang testigo sa mgakaso laban sa maybahay ni BisePresidente Jejomar Binay.

Sinabi ni Mendoza sa mgasenador na makalipas ang 13

taon ay patuloy siyang naka-katanggap ng pananakot dahil

sa audit na iyon.Bandang alas-6 ng umaga ka-

hapon—bago siya tumungo saSenado—ay nakatanggap na na-man siya ng pananakot ngunithindi na niya iyon idinetalye.

Sa unang bahagi nitongtaon, habang tumitestigo siya samga kaso ni Binay, ay dalawangbeses pinasok ang kanyang ba-hay, ani Mendoza.

 Aniya, “suspicious” ang pang- yayari dahil walang mahalagangbagay ang nawala. Isinabog langumano ang ilang dokumento na

tila ba may hinahanap sa mga iy-on.  COAvendaño, KFMangunay

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2014 3F EATURES

Gov’t finally awards P65-B LRT1 contract

the LRT1 today, butupon completion of theCavite extension, thatfigure could rise toabout 800,000 people.

MPIC chair Manuel V. Pangilinan told re-porters that they aimed to deliver bet-

ter services to com-muters, noting that“Hong Kong is a goodmodel for light rail,”referring to the city’sMass Transit Railway,one of the few com-mercially successfulrailways in the world.

“An efficient trans-port system is a cata-lyst for growth andan extended LRT1running all the way toBacoor will generategrowth along the cor-ridor. The LRT1 hasbeen in operation forover 20 years and to-day’s event bringsforth the beginning of a new age for MetroManila commuters,”Pangilinan said in aseparate statement.

“As we assume theresponsibility for the

operations of thetrain line next year,

 we hope to be able todeliver in due time amuch improved ridingexperience that is safeand efficient for ourdaily rail commuters,”Zobel said in thesame statement.

The awarding yes-terday faced severalchallenges, including

a legal delay as theDOTC weighed theimpact of a SupremeCourt ruling barringthe department fromtransferring the loca-

tion of the LRT1 andMRT3 “common sta-tion” from an areanear SM City NorthEdsa in Quezon City to the Ayala Group’sadjacent Trinomashopping mall.

By Miguel R. Camus

THE CONSORTIUM led by conglomer-ates Metro Pacific Investments Corp.and Ayala Corp. signed yesterday aconcession agreement for a P65-bil-lion public private partnership (PPP)deal, paving the way for the extension

of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 inMetro Manila to Bacoor, Cavite.The project, the

eighth and largestPPP project awardedunder the Aquino ad-ministration, aims toopen up access to thesouthern parts of Metro Manila and toCavite province whenit is finished by 2019.

The deal also pro-

 vides new revenuestreams for the MPIC- Ayala consortium, which was awardedthe deal through their

 joint venture LightRail Manila Consor-tium last month.

Light Rail Manilais expected to takeover the existingLRT1 railway for 32

 years within 12months from signing,MPIC president Jose.Ma. K. Lim said yes-terday. This may alsotrigger a long-delayedfare increase ahead of the turnover, accord-ing to the Departmentof Transportation andCommunications,

 which is implement-ing the project.

Light Rail Manila was the sole bidder

for the LRT-1 PPP, which had to be rebida second time afterlast year’s failed auc-tion. During the latestbidding exercise in

May, other groupssuch as San MiguelCorp. and DMCIHoldings Inc. backedout, citing the pro-

 ject’s poor financialprospects.

Nevertheless, LightRail Manila offered aP9.35-billion premi-um, which comes on

top of the construc-tion cost, to win thecontract. MPIC and

 Ayala also bagged theautomated fare col-lection system PPP,

 which would imple-ment an electronicticketing system forall elevated railwaysin Metro Manila.

With the signingalso comes the hopefor a world-class masstransit railway amidthe poor state of some of Metro Mani-la’s elevated trainlines, particularly thecongested Metro RailTransit Line 3. This

 was an outcome thatconsortium officialshinted at yesterday.

Fernando Zobel de Ayala, Ayala Corp.president, said in a

prepared speech thatthe takeover would“redefine the rail expe-rience” for Filipinocommuters. About half a million people use

Table footballers come to lifeto help underdog foosball player

 win big. Irish Times’ Tara Brady hails it as “lively and consistent-ly funny.” Entertainment.ie:“Tone of the movie… goes frombeing grounded … to totally over-the-top bizarre.”

In detention, but independentcharacters are inspired by actu-al people,” he said.

Over the years, Oebanda hastaken part in Visayan Forum res-cues, raids and rehabilitation ses-sions. “In 2011, we rescued 40

people, with the help of the Na-tional Bureau of Investigationand the Department of Laborand Employment,” he said.“They were from different places,but most of the children werefrom the Visayas and Mindanao.”

In Tumbang Preso, his debutfilm, he zeroed in on thecanned goods industry— specif-ically, on a factory that usedchildren who, with their littlehands, packed sardines intosmall cans. He reported, “Chil-dren got injured on the job,sometimes losing their fingersbecause of the sharp cans.”

He introduced some of thecast members (including youngactors Kokoy de Santos, 14, andTherese Malvar, 13), to true-lifesurvivors, those the NGO rescued.“I wanted the actors to know thatthe supposed ‘victims’ didn’t seethemselves as helpless. They 

 were fighters. A lot attempted toescape from their captors,” Oe-

banda pointed out. “Curiously,

the victimizers seemed obliviousto their crimes. I found it inter-esting how traffickers, like thecharacters played by RonnieLazaro and Kean Cipriano, could

 justify their actions to themselves.

Most of them insisted that they got involved in human traffickingto provide for their families.”

He made certain to show thefilm to his mom, who is presi-dent of the Visayan Forum, andher colleagues. “I wanted to en-sure the accuracy of the portrayalof both victims and traffickers.”

Oebanda was nominated forBest Production Design at this

 year’s Urian, for Siege Ledes-ma’s Shift. He worked as assis-tant director in Jet Leyco’s

 Bukas n a Lang Sapagkat Gabi Na, Best Film winner at the Cin-ema One Originals festival last

 year. (Leyco is the cinematogra-pher and Ledesma, the assistantdirector, of  Tumbang Preso.)

For Tumbang Preso, Oebanda won the Best IFC Pitch at theManila Film Financing Forumlast year. “Among the prizes area premiere night and exclusivetheatrical run in SM Cinemas.”(Premiere was on Sept. 30; cin-

ema run starts Oct. 8.)

The filmmaker feels strongly about remaining involved in so-cial causes, shunning apathy, par-ticularly in these volatile and un-certain times. “I am afraid thatthe sacrifices of the people who

have lost their lives for democra-cy will be forgotten. Some revi-sionists are painting a rosy picture[of martial law], a truly dark timein our nation’s history,” he said.

His filmmaking is devoted totelling the Filipino story truth-fully, he said. “Human traffick-ing is one of the most urgenthuman-rights issues of ourtime,” he said. “We should allplay a part in solving this prob-lem. It happens right under ournoses—in our neighborhoods,ports and airport terminals. If 

 we remain vigilant, we can pre- vent women and children frombecoming modern-day slaves.”

Will he ever make a filmabout his family’s time inprison?

“Maybe in the future, if I amable to develop a rich enoughmaterial on the subject,” he said.“This is a deeply personal and se-rious story for me and I want togive it the research and creative

development time it deserves.”

By Bayani San Diego Jr.

C ASUALLY, indie filmmaker Kip Oebanda relatedthat he was born in prison. “My mom Ceciliawas pregnant with me when she was impris-

oned, with my father Ricardo, in the early 1980s,” herecalled. “My sister Malaya was also born while they were detained in Camp Delgado, in Iloilo City.”

Cecilia was a church catechistduring the martial-law years.“She had to go underground fol-lowing the military crackdownon activists and social workers.She joined the New People’s

 Army,” Oebanda said. Although they were in prison,

Cecilia made sure that her chil-dren’s spirits remained free.

Oebanda recounted: “Thecamp was a horrible place, butmy early childhood memories

 were full of love and tenderness.My mom would carry me up atree, from where she wouldshow me the road outside thecamp. This made me passionateabout freedom at a young age.”

When he was 4, after the Ed-sa people power uprising in1986, his whole family, along

 with other political prisoners, were r eleased.

 As a grown-up, he joined hismother in the nongovernmentalorganization (NGO), VisayanForum, “which seeks to save

 women and children from hu-man trafficking.”

Oebanda stressed, “It is ashame that in this day and age,slavery still exists. NumerousFilipinos have fallen prey to syn-

dicates that force them intoharsh and inhumane workingconditions in various industries.”

He added, “In a world that isfast shrinking because of global-ization, we ironically have noidea where the products we buy come from. The clothes we

 wear and the food we eat may have come from slave labor.”

By making the film Tumbang Preso, Oebanda takes his advo-cacy a step further. “The movieis based on real-life cases; the

Recipients see Tzu Chi prefab

shelters for the first time

thin wood or the roof.But in this house, Ican say we will havemore privacy sincethe families will nolonger live in homestoo close from each

other,” Mary Mae ex-citedly shares.The prefabricated

shelters are single-de-tached with the next-door neighbour abouttwo meters away.

The temporary housing project ispart of Tzu Chi Foun-dation’s mid-term re-habilitation programfor typhoon Yolanda(Haiyan) victims inthe province of Leyte.The Buddhist group iseyeing to install 3,000units of prefabricatedshelters in Tacloban,Ormoc and Palo mu-nicipality.

In Ormoc, 2,000units of temporary shelter are expectedto be put up in a 50-hectare land in Baran-gay Liloan; while 700

units will be installedin Barangay San Josein Palo, and 300 unitsfor Tacloban City.

Meanwhile, theprefabricated sheltermodel unit in OrmocCity Plaza was in-stalled by some menresidents of Barangay Concepcion and Can-untog as part of theirtraining under Tzu

Chi Taiwan volunteers.

These Taiwan-based volunteers are the de-signers of the said pre-fabricated shelters.They have been in theprovince for the lastfour days, teaching

two groups of Ormocresidents in buildingthe shelters as per Tzu

Chi founder MasterCheng Yen’s request.

On Sept. 28, thetrainee builders in-stalled the model unitof the 27-square me-ter prefabricated shel-

ter, which is for fami-lies with five andmore members.

THE MODEL unit of the prefabricatedshelter that is currently standing in Or-moc City Plaza has attracted the atten-tion of the locals who are passing by thearea since it was assembled on Sept. 27.

But on the follow-ing day, it were notonly passers-by butthe actual beneficia-ries of the shelters

themselves who really took time to go outinto the city just tosee a sample of thehome the Buddhistorganization haspromised them with.

Carlos ChristianGarbo, with his twochildren and wife,travelled 15 minutesfrom Barangay Can-untog to reach the

city plaza to lay eyes,for the very first time,their future home.

“It’s beautiful,”shares the 34-year-oldfather after marvel-ling at the exteriorand scrutinizing theinterior of the tempo-rary shelter. “I am

 very happy that thiskind of house will beour home soon.”

His seven-year-olddaughter, Mary Jane,is also very happy withthe prospect of movinginto this house.

“Thank you, MasterCheng Yen for thishouse you are givingus,” the young girl says.

Just like many of the would-be benefi-ciaries of Tzu ChiFoundation’s tempo-rary housing project,

the Garbos are cur-rently living in asmall unit of transi-tional bunkhouse intheir village. In thebunkhouse, there isonly one room, whichthe family simultane-ously uses as a livingroom, sleeping quar-ters, and dining room.

Under Tzu ChiFoundation’s tempo-

rary housing project,

however, a family of four members like theGarbos will receive a21-square meter pre-fabricated shelter.

This comes with a liv-ing room, two bed-rooms, a kitchen, anda toilet and bath-room. It also has ven-tilation and slidingdoors and windowsfor ease and comfort.

Such features weregreatly appreciated by the Itangs, anotherfamily recipient.

“In the bunkhouse

unit we live in at themoment, it is very hot.When we went insideTzu Chi’s temporary shelter, however, I sawit is really beautiful. Ithas bedrooms andthere’s a toilet. It is

 very comfortable,” saysRogelio Itang, who

 went to see the house with his wife, Jocelyn.

Meanwhile, 16-

 year-old Mary MaeImpas has alsodropped by the city plaza to see a sampleof the house whereher family will movein soon. For familieslike them who havesix members, Tzu ChiFoundation is giving a27-square meter shel-ter with a livingroom, three bed-rooms, kitchen, and

toilet and bathroom.In an interview,

Mary Mae said she is very satisfied with howthe temporary shelterlooks like and how it

 was designed with the well-being of its inhab-itants in mind.

“In the bunkhouseunit we live in rightnow, there’s not muchprivacy. Neighbors are

only separated by 

SOME of the would-be beneficiaries flash their ‘thank yous’ alongside Tzu ChiPhilippines CEO Alfredo Li in front of the temporary shelter model unit.

Mac Belo: FEU’s Unassuming HeroBy Patrick Leonard Mayo

IN THE UAAP, there are hardcourt heroes who bask in theglory of being in the spotlight,and there are others who wouldrather give the credit to hist e a m m a t e s o r e v e n t o L a d y  Luck. FEU’s Rey Mark ‘‘Mac” Be-lo would rather be part of thelatter, even after making thebiggest shot of his young basket-b a l l c a r e e r o v e r d e f e n d i n gchampion DLSU Green Archersand punching a final ticket forthe Tamaraws last Wednesday.

Though he couldn’t controlthe his teammates who chargedinto him in sheer excitementand jubilation after his epic,buzzer-beating three-pointerand the praises that came withit, the 21-year old North Cotaba-to native kept humble amidstthe pandemonium. ‘‘Tsamba,” hequipped, when asked about hisgame-winner.

Coming off a demoralizing

73-94 setback in their Game 1matchup against the Archers

 where he dropped a career high32 markers in 29 minutes of ac-tion, Belo became even hungrierthan ever, entering Wednesday’srubber match. It was a hungerfor redemption that has been fu-eled even by heartbreaks fromlast year.

‘‘Babawi kami, iyon lang ang

mindset ko before the game,”

said the 4 th year Hotel andRestaurant Management major.It was a hunger that reflected

even in practice.‘‘I can’t really compare him to

others, kakaiba talaga siya,” saidFEU head coach Nash Racela onBelo. ‘‘Yung focus niya is alwaysthere during practice and he al-

 ways gives his best. It is becauseof his work ethics he became abetter shooter this year.

‘‘Makukumpleto talaga yunggame niya,” added his coach.

W i t h a l o o m i n g f i n a l smatchup with vastly-improvedTroy Rosario of NU at the powerforward position, Belo takes onthe challenge upon him.

‘‘Magaling si Troy. May sizeadvantage, mabilis, at may out-side shooting din siya.”

With just two more wins sep-arating the Tams from the title,fans and supporters of FEU canexpect more from their unas-suming hero with or without the

fanfare.
