BIKOL REPORTER2 DECEMBER 13-19, 2015OPINION

Last December 9, Manila Archbishop

Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle openedthe Holy Door of the Manila Cathedral

signaling the start of the Jubilee Year of

Mercy of the Catholic Church.

The Jubilee Year of Mercy is a special

period declared by Pope Francis which

began last December 8 and will end on

November 20 next year. During this

period, Catholics are encouraged to do

more acts of mercy.

Among the acts of mercy raised by

Cardinal Tagle is respect, as he urged

the end to the exploitation and rape of

women and children.

His call is particularly resonant in the

recent revelation made by Camarines SurProvincial Police OIC- Provincial Director

SSupt. Walfredo Pornillos.

During the launch of the PNP’s Oplan

Lambat Sibat campaign last month,

Pornillos expressed concern over the

disturbing number of incestuous rape

cases in Camarines Sur which reached

233 in October this year.Certainly, 233 is more than just a

number. They are human beings whose

dreams perhaps, are now shattered to

pieces.

Certainly, any right-thinking human

being should not only express anger

over this bestiality, but should also do

something concrete.

For us in the media for instance,

perhaps, we should extend and stretch

the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence

Against Women (which started last

November 25 and ended December 12),

to a year.

Every day, we should pound on the

consciousness of everyone, through our

news on air and on print, that there are

laws which protect women from all these

unnecessary violence.

Yes, we should pray for mercy and pray

that we will not eventually want of it.

Atty. TONY (APA) ACYATAN

The PSE reminds stock investorsto open their own account with PSE-accredited brokerage rms andto transact only with said chosen

brokerage rm. SEC is also askingthe public to be wary of investmentsolicitations offering share prices atdiscounted prices. These schemesmay include supposed employeestock option plans. While these may

be offered at discounted prices, thePSE must rst approve them andprovided distribution is conned to

company employees. Keepsafeyour money always!

ARBITRATION: One of themost popular legal innovations incontracting is the inclusion of anarbitration provision (before engagingin court litigation). Amid the growingnumber of companies seekingarbitration against governmentagencies, there is now a call for

the Philippine government and theprivate sector to further scrutinize thecontracts being signed between themto avoid conicts that may eventuallylead to legal issues – and nally courtlitigation.

While businessmen believearbitration cases against thegovernment could negate the ow

of foreign direct investments (FDI)in the country, they also believe that

(Atty. APA – chairs Acyatan &Co., CPAs-DFK International – is

past chair of ASEAN Federation of

CPAs, PICPA past president andHall-of-Famer, and ACPAPP Lifetime

Achievement Awardee).

MIND-SETTING: There shouldbe a law regulating the conduct ofand free release of political surveyresults. Firstly, there must be strictguidelines on how the surveysare to be conducted, including thetype and manner of preparing the

questionnaires. These must not betilted to generate answers in favorof the survey sponsors. Thus, thesurvey rms must be required todeclare the name or the group whichcommissioned the survey.

Just like the warning required by theFDA in the sale of food supplements(that there are no proven therapeutic

guarantees) release of survey resultsmust contain the same “caveat”. Thisway – the readers of surveys resultswill be alerted on the potential swayand “bias” of the release. The so-called margin of error can be logicallyminimized if the minimum number ofrespondents for every survey can berequired by regulation. The areas

where the surveys are undertakenmust also be revealed.

SCAMS: The Philippine StockExchange, Inc. (PSE) advises thepublic to exercise caution in dealingwith individuals who are not licensedto solicit funds for stock marketinvestments. Reports of unscrupulouspractices perpetuated by scamagents indicated that losses to stock

market investors are aplenty.These practices do not only cheatvictims of their money but alsounduly stain the reputation of thestock market especially amongretail investors.

Campaigning Via Surveysarbitration is a practical way for

companies to settle disputes. TheInt’l Chamber of Commerce (ICC)said companies are now seekingarbitration from an internationalcourt to settle disputes with

government. They include the rateadjustment case of Maynilad andManila Water Co. vs. MWSS andthe P53B tax case between Shell

Philippines and COA.CLIMATE CHANGE: The

world is now aware of theadversities involving environmentaldegradation – caused by humanabuses against nature. During therecent world confab in Paris – Pres.P-Noy presented the Philippineexperience. Businesses wereurged to help communities to adapt

to climate change. From Filipinococonut growers whose trees werewiped out by Typhoon Yolanda

to palm oil prices squeezed by ElNiño-linked droughts, consumerproducts are being affected by theweather!

In the Philippines, industrialgiant Unilever has provided

storm-hit communities with newtree seedlings. In Tanzania, themultinational company is restoringdegraded land and supplyinghigher-yielding tea plants togrowers, as well as setting up afactory to buy excess productionthat are thrown away. Currently,there are excess banana harvestsin Mindanao and in some areas

in Luzon-Visayas. Government

must nd ways to deal with surplusharvests to insure continuing futureproduction.

WISDOM: When truth becomesuncomfortable to hear andinconvenient to bear, brute poweris resorted to!

Why? Because there was Death

Penalty The big drug Lord at that

time was Lim Seng and he was

sentenced to death by ring squad.

Since then, drug Lords especially

those from abroad were afraid

to bring their drug trade to the

Philippines.We only need to pass a law

imposing the death penalty on

those who violate the Anti-Illegal

Drugs Law.

I t is true we have the 5th

Commandment of God “Thou shalt

not kill”. But God did not say we

cannot kill to defend ourselves.

The law I am thinking is a

protection or defense against the

consequences of the availabilityand use of illegal drugs in the

country like the crimes committed

by drug addicts.

God will judge us on a case to

case basis. I believe God’s justice

will understand and will consider

this idea of a death penalty no as

a form of disobedience to Him but

only as a kind of self-defense and

to discourage illegal drug trade in

the country.

This is just thinking aloud

with this idea. It is better than

summary executions that are

happening and have happened in

Davao City without due process of

law as reported in the media.Judgment should be made by

the court and not by anybody

else. “Duterte’s Dirty Harry Style”

is not the right way to eradicate

criminality as it is not the legal

process. As the saying goes: “The

end does not justify means.”

It’s Christmas time, a time to

greet and honor Jesus Christ, our

Redeemer whose birthday falls on

December 25. Let’s thank Him forour loves and for the blessings he

has given us. I thank God for the

second life He gave me and for my

family and friends, my relatives,

my in-laws, doctors, nurses. I was

hospitalized for one week and now

I am back.

The birth of Jesus has made the

Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of

God and St. Joseph as his foster

father. Let us emulate their love,

care and respect for each other. I

have experienced the blessings of

having a family especially as sick

Mama. Let’s thank God for our

family. “Merry Christmas to all.”

*****We do not need death squads like

those of Davao City that is linked to

Duterte in order to eradicate illegal

drugs in the country.

Dur ing the pres idency o f

Ferdinand E. Marcos, illegal drugs

was nil. It was not a great menace.

No need for Death Squads like those

of Davao City, Death Penalty Law better

VigilantismoSaro sa mga patok alagad medyo gasgas nang mga tema kan

pelikulang aksyon sa Pilipinas iyo an vigilantismo kun saen anbidang aktor na arog ki Fernando Poe, Jr. o Lito Lapid naitutulodna magin vigilante ta kaipuhan nindang magbalos sa mga nang-abuso sainda o sa saindang mga padangat sa buhay.

Kadakli sa mga pelikulang ini nagpapahiling nin sarongklaseng hustisya na iyo sa paagi nin venganza. Halimbawa ngayasi agom, aki o magurang kan bida ginadan kan sarong gruponin mga kriminal tapos hahanapon kan bida si mga kagibo kankrimen para magbalos. Makikilaban si bida sa mga kontrabida(kaibanan na syempre si mga cheesy dialogues)sa paagi ninsuntukan saka badilan. Ugwa pang mga lamagan nin sasakyan(kabayo, motorsiklo, kotse o helicopter) asin special effects napasabog. Sa kinatapos-taposi kan pelikula magagadan si mgakontrabida pero minsan nagagadan man si bida sa huri.

Sa arog kaining tema nin pelikulang aksyon nagsikat asin

pinadangat si FPJ kan masa. Nabansagan pa ngani syang“action king” kan pelikulang Pilipino. Minirar na bayani siFPJ saka kadikit pa nganing mangana bilang presidente kanPilipinas. An papel sa peikula ni FPJ asin kan iba pang sikat naaktor sa pelikulang aksyon garo minasalming kan kolektibongkapahaan kan masa sa hustisya.

Minasimpatya an dakol na tawo sa mga vigelanteng bida sapelikula. Garo baga sinasabing inaako o akseptado kan mgaPilipino an arog kaining klase nin paghanap nin hustisya. Siguroining klaseng mentalidad kan dakol na Pilipino an pinaka dahilankun tano ta matonog na marhay an pangaran ni Mayor RodrigoDuterte na posibleng magin sunod na presidente kan satongnasyon.

Arog kan mga bida sa mga pelikulang aksyon dakolkontradiksyon sa pagkatawo ni Mayor Duterte. Ini mgakontradiksyon na garo mas nagparani sa saiya sa boot kan dakolna botante. Inot iyo an pagigin matagas asin maisog nya labandaa sa mga kriminal na ginaradan kan Davao Death Squad.

Aminado ngani si Mayor Duterte na dakol na daa syan nagadanna mga kriminal. Inihahambog nya pa ngani na pwedeng mag-abot daa sa 1,700 na kriminal na an nagadan o naipagadan nyasa Davao.

Minahanga man ngani an kadaklan ta garo man nangadepektibo an kamot na batbat sa Davao ta matuninong daa sakamauswag an syudad.Iniyong pagkakaigwa nin brutal na imaheni Duterte garo kabaliktaran daa kan pagigin malumoy an pusosa mga pobre asin sa mga biktima nin kalamidad. Minsan nganinaipahiling pa sa TV na napaluha si Duterte kan nagbisita samga nagin biktima kan bagyong Yolanda.

An pangaduwang kontradiksyon sa pagkatawo ni Duterte nanagustuhan sa saiya kan mga botante iyo an pagigin magaspangnya sa pagtaram na kadalasan ugwang kaibang muda. Ini sabalyo kan pagkakaugwa nya nin halangkaw na pinag-adalanbilang sarong abogado. Dae man sya mahilig magtaram niIngles asin nataram sya sa natural na ponto (accent). Mayongduda na intilehenteng tawo si Duterte dawa garo pang istambaysa kanto kun sya magtaram sa publiko.

An pangatulong kontradiksyon sa personalidad ni Dutertena mas nagparani sa saiya sa boot kan mga botante iyo ansaiyang kawawaran daa nin ambisyon na magin presidente.Itong garo napipiritan lang ta dakol nanganagpudan asinnagtutulod sa saiya para magkandidato. Urong-sulong nganibaga dati sa desisyon nya. Kun baga garo sarong bidang actionstar sa pelikula na pahuri-huri asin padaog-daog na muna bagominabanat nin toda.

Arog kan sarong bida sa pelikulang aksyon, hinuhuna kanmga botante na tunay na bayani si Duterte na garo messiahna masalbar sa nasyon. Alagad pano man maipapasunod nintultol an leyes kan sarong vigilante na dae nganing galang sabill of rights kan satonng konstitusyon asin dae man tataongmagsunod o nagtutubod sa due process?

Dakula an pinagkaiba kan vigilanteng bida sa pelikula asinan sarong aminadong vigilante sa totoong buhay. An paragadanna vigilante sa totoong buhay saro man na kriminal. Baka anhinuhuna tang solusyon mas magpalala pa lugod kan problemakan satong nasyon. Dae ta kaipuhan an klase nin vigilantismona minatumak sa satong leyes asin sibilisadong sistema ninhustisya.

Ola, Legazpi City – The Po-lice Regional Ofce here in-vited some members of thetri-media from CamarinesNorte, Albay, Catanduanes,Sorsogon, Masbate, Cama-rines Sur and Naga City forthe launching and brieng of“OPLAN LAMBAT SIBAT”recently.

PRO5’s increasing crimerate situation is already treated

by drilling down ‘what’s work-ing, what’s not and I wish ap-

proach on its anti crime campaign. From the traditionalstatus quo approach of “Ba-ra-Bara” (Ad Hoc), “Kanya-Kanya” (Silos), and “Ningas-Cogon” (Sporadic), the PNP’santi crime campaign shifted to“Pagbabago”.

The PNP, through the lead-ership of the SILG, started torespond to the crime situationin the country. This “Pagba-

bago” approach was put intoaction through the integratedPolice Anti Crime Campaignwhich launched a Deliberate,Programmatic and Sustained(DPS) approach with OPLANLAMBAT SIBAT. This saidcampaign had its rst pilot testin the National Capital Regionsince it has a highest populationand biggest economic activity,which transcends to a highercrime rate compared to otherregions. The PNP also testedthis campaign in Region 3 andRegion 4A wherein at the pre-sentation conducted by PSupt.Jonathan O. Panganiban, OIC-ROPD shows a great declineon the number of crime rateslisted. It also shows that fromDecember 30, 2014 to August

2, 2015, the crime volumeswere reduced from 18% to40%. PSupt. Panganiban alsosays that they will implementthis campaign on Region 4B,Region 5 and Region 13.

OPLAN LAMBAT is awide dragnet across the me-tropolis combined with “HIN-

DI PATSAMBA” Operationssuch as increased in CHECK-POINTS in those considered aschokepoint or crime hotspot,MOBILE PATROL within thedesignated land based convey-ance, BEAT/FOOT PATROLSwithin the designated beat onfoot, OPLAN BULABOG –conduct saturation drive at theBarangays especially in thosecrime prone places, OPLANBAKAL/SITA on persons at

bar joints and/or areas consid-ered crime prone or hotspots,INTENSIFIED SERVING OFARREST WARRANTS in tar-geting criminal suspects, gangsand syndicates listed in thePNP Watch List, OPLAN KA-TOK for physical verication

and accounting of registeredrearms through house visita-tion, OPLAN GALUGAD isto conduct a saturation driveat critical areas or place whereactivities like illegal drug

pushing, illegal gambling andother street crimes are rampant,AGGRESSIVE ANTI-CAR-

NAPPING OPERATIONS,FOCUSED INTELLIGENCEOPERATIONS and POLICECOMMUNITY RELATIONS.

The PNP uses the termLAMBAT to symbolize theanti-crime strategies imple-mented within a particular areaor community with the purposeof preventing and reducing

crime rates.OPLAN SIBAT is an action

Intel-driven target focused onarresting Most Wanted Persons(MWP’s). Oplan Lambat Sibatalso addresses murder, rape,homicide, robbery, theft andcarnapping incidents. With thementioned campaign, the PNP

can now address the surgingcrimes and generate more citi-zen’s information and coopera-tion.

The PNP uses the term SI-BAT to symbolize the targetingof a particular wanted criminalor specic person of interest.

At the forum, PSSupt. Mar-lon Tejada, Chief, CIDG5 hada presentation on cold caseswherein he explains that thesenumerous cases are those whowere not solved with in a pe-riod of six (6) months. Thisis due to some reasons thatsome of the cases are politi-cally motivated. He also sharesthat Masbate province has the

ignated focal person.

In the province there

P500.00 has been allocated

for this purpose giving prior-

STO. DOMINGO ALBAY VIES . . .

ters of which the Listahanan

list of poor households is the

primary tool used for such

concerns.

The Gawad Listahanan is

an award given to Local Gov-

ernment Units (LGU) for pro-

viding services and assistance

to the Listahanan-identied

poor families.

It aims to promote the

convergence of all social pro-

tection stakeholders on the

identied poor to effectively

address the different aspects

of poverty.

The competition is classi-

ed into municipal, city and

provincial categories. The

winner for each category will

receive a plaque and a cash in-

centive of P50, 000.

The sub-committee for Gawad

ment of Trade and Industry,

the Department of Education,

Philippine National Police,

the Bureau of Fire Protection

and EcoWaste Coalition have

joined hands in launching an

anti-recrack campaign along

the theme: “Sa Ingay Walang

Sablay, sa Paputok Goodbye

Kamay.”Last year, the BMC admit-

ted at least 4 patients injured

by recrackers, compared to

6 in 2013 and 9 in 2012.

Nationwide, the Fire-

works-Related Injury Sur-

veillance recorded zero death

last year and a total of 860

cases, 16% lower than the

2013 record of 1,018 injuries.

Of the 860 cases, 840 were

due to recrackers, 13 from

stray bullets, and 7 were due

to recracker ingestion. Pic-

colo with 32% caused most

of the injuries, followed by

kwitis (15%), unknown re-

crackers (11%), luces (7%),

and fountain (5%).

In a related story, Police

Senior Supt. Augusto M.

Marquez Jr., acting Philip-

pine National Police Bicol

regional director, on Friday

directed all the provincial

directors to launch a mas-

sive and thorough inspection

of all the establishments in

their respective areas of re-

sponsibility that are selling

recrackers.

Done in pursuit of "Oplan

Ligtas Paskuhan 2015”,

Marquez also ordered the

conscation of all bannedrecrackers like the Watusi,

Piccolo, Super Lolo, Atomic

Triangle, Large Judas Belt,

Marquez said victim Jay-

An Antonio De Vera, a stu-

dent and resident of Iraya

Norte, Oas, was rushed to the

Bicol Regional Teaching and

Training Hospital (BRTTH)

in Legazpi City.The reworks display was

done at about 2 p.m. in cel-

ebration of the feast of the

Immaculate Conception, the

patroness of the town.

After the event, De Vera

and his two companions de-

cided to gather the unspent

powder of the explosives,

place these in a can and ig-

nited the contents.

BOY, 11, INJURED IN FIRECRACKER . . .

The burning powder ex-

ploded, causing burns in De

Vera's face and body.

He is now being treated at

the BRTTH.

The victim's two friends

were spared as they were ableto run when the powder was

still burning.

"This should serve as a les-

son to those who still plan to

use recrackers in the celebra-

tion of Christmas and New Year

despite our strong warning and

strict implementation of the

recracker ban," Marquez said.

Authorities are investigating

the incident. - PNA

The order aims to bringdown or possible eradicate

the number of injuries, fatali-

ties and destruction to prop-

erties as a result of using py-

rotechnics.

Marquez also banned in-

discriminate ring during

the traditional celebrations

of Christmas and New Year

He said that in buying

recrackers, one should look

for the PS mark and check

if the reworks are properly

labeled with the name of

rework, classication and

intended use, brand or trade

name, name and address of

manufacturer, and the words

"Made in the Philippines".

This is part of the mini-

mum labeling requirements

under the Philippine Con-

sumer Act.

Those who are found

guilty of buying, distributing

and using illegal recrackers

and pyrotechnics will be pun-

ished by a ne of not less than

Php20,000 but not more than

Php30,000 and imprisonment

of not less than six months

but not more than one year or

both tantamount to the charg-

es he/she is facing.

The PNP, as mandated in

Republic Act 7183, regulates

the sale, manufacture and

distribution of reworks.

Under the law, any person

who desires to manufacture,

sell or distribute reworks

and other pyrotechnic de-

vices shall le his application

for the issuance of license

or business permit with the

Chief PNP through the pro-

vincial director.

But before the PNP can

grant a permit, he should

secure rst a Fire Safety In-

spection Certicate from the

city/municipal re marshal

having jurisdiction on him.The law also prohibits

the sale of imported nished

reworks and only Depart-

ment of Trade and Industry-
