MALAYBALAY City––Nineteen rebel returnees received cash assistance from provincial government of Bukidnon on May 23.

Governor Alex Calin-gasan personally handed over the checks to the ben-eficiaries.

Eighteen of them who surrendered with firearms received P15,000 each but those who surrendered with-out their firearms received only P5,000.

Calingasan said that he extended his assistance to the rebel returnees to as-sist them in starting their new lives.

He, however, explained that the assistance of the province is not handed over simultaneously because of its limited resources.

He said the province had other projects to at-tend to like the energy, and foot bridge of Barangay Kibongkog in San Fernando.

Calingasan wanted also the provincial agriculture to procure seeds of corn and coffee to assist them in their livelihood.

E arl ier, Ca l ingasan wanted the members of Sangguniang Panlalawigan members led by Vice Gov-ernor Jose Ma. R.Zubiri Jr. to reconsider his farm to market road projects in mountain barangay’s of the said municipality to answer the needs of the people.

BALIANGAO, Misamis Occidental––More than 500 children from the 15 barangays here benefitted from the Shine Medical Mission initiated by Mayor Svetlana P. Jalosjos-De Leon this week.

The Mindanao Daily News learned that of the three medical missions con-ducted, it was the biggest in terms of attendance.

500 kids benefit from free medical clinic

attended medical mission initiated by this adminis-tration,” she said.

Baliangao, a 6th class municipality, is receiving only P38 million from the national government via the Internal Revenue Al-lotment (IRA).

No government-run hospitals, Baliangaonons are mostly dependent to the Calamba Emergency Hospital that is more or less 15 kilometers away.

“That’s why this admin-istration has initiated to

rehabilitate its municipal health center with modern facilities and medicines that can accommodate the people’s medical and health needs and attention.” Mayor Jalosjos-De Leon added.

The Shine Medical Mis-sion supported by the vol-unteer Doctors and Nurses of the 7th Technical and Administrative Services of the AFP Western Mindanao Command under Brigade Commander LTC Amy C. Adona (MC) and the 2303rd Brigade(ARESCOM) PA

under Brigade Commander Col Nilo Conol MD(RES) was a big help.

Medical Consultation, Dental Extraction, Minor Surgery and Circumci-sion of the 500 Kids were conducted and given free medicine acquired by the Local Government Unit.

Congressman Rufus B. Rodriguez delivers his sponsorship speech of House Bill 2109 (AN ACT BANNING THE USE OF PLASTIC BAGS IN GROCERIES, RESTAURANTS AND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS, AND PROvIDING PENALTIES FOR vIOLATIONS THEREOF) before the Committee on Natural Resources. He filed said bill because of the harmful effects of plastic bags to the environment and in order to ensure that future generations still have a safe and healthy environment to live in. His HB2109 was eventually consolidated in House Bill 4840 (AN ACT REGULATING THE PRODUCTION, IMPORTATION, SALE, PROvISION, USE, RECOvERY, COLLECTION RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL OF PLASTIC BAGS) and was approved on third reading and transmitted to the Senate.

THINK a minute.Millions of children

today come from broken families. But have you ever wondered if children of divorced parents totally get over it?

Do they bounce back to live truly healthy, happy lives?

Or are there any long-term damages done to kids by their parents divorcing?

Recent statistics show that 90 percent of children from divorced families expe-rienced serious shock, grief, and fears. Fifty percent felt rejected and abandoned.

One third of the kids feared being left even by the parent they were still living with.

Two thirds experienced extreme loneliness for their other parent they were not living with. And surpris-ingly, 37 percent of the

Divide and conquer

children were even more unhappy five years after the divorce than they were when it first happened. In other words, time did not heal their wounds and pain.

After the children of divorced parents grew up, 40 percent of them never married, compared to only 16 percent of children who grew up with both their parents.

Children of divorce were more likely to use drugs and alcohol before age 14.

They had less social skills

and confidence, and were less successful at university.

They were also more likely to commit crimes. Girls whose parents di-vorced experimented with sex at an earlier age and were more likely to get pregnant as unmarried teenagers.

In fact, the evidence is very strong that the damage from divorce in one way or another lasts a lifetime.

You see, since marriage is the foundation of the family, it makes sense that if you destroy the marriage

you destroy the family.The old saying “Divide

and Conquer” has been working to hurt and destroy millions of children’s lives. That’s exactly what divorce in a family does.

But if you’ve already divorced, it’s never too late to start loving and putting your children first.

In fact, the only one who can help you fix and heal the damage to your family is the one who created families.

So why not ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for your mistakes and wrongs you’ve done to your mate and children? Then ask Jesus to help you start changing.

He’ll help you to love your mate and children without conditions, so they can become the strong, happy and successful adults you want them to be. Just

Think a Minute.

The country’s imperiled sovereignty

Drunk driving and the police

THE Corona impeachment and the Scarborough Shoal conflict are two important issues of the Philippine government today. Both the Corona and Scarborough Shoal issues involved national security concerns.

While most people are interested in the Corona impeachment, they have forgotten the national signifi-cance of the Scarborough Shoal. The Scarborough Shoal issue challenges the national security of the Filipino people – it challenges the very existence of the country as well.

Without doubt, the Corona impeachment is a politi-cal issue sponsored by the incumbent administration. The Corona brouhaha manifests the kind of politics that this country cherished in the name of democracy. Yes, many considered the Corona issue as an exercise of ‘democracy.’ It is an irony that one of the advantages in a democratic county is the unbridled exercise of freedom to destroy its very own institution. The Filipinos love it.

While the nation is focusing its energy on the trial of the Chief Justice, it has forgotten the most urgent problem of the country today. The Scarborough Shoal and the territorial conflict in the disputed islets of Spratly Islands are of more importance than Corona issue. However, this administration believes that with Corona at the helm of the Supreme Court, it feels helpless in addressing the Scarborough Shoal conflict.

Thus, it does not matter that while the impeachment trial is in progress, the Chinese are encroaching into the country’s territorial seas. Yesterday, news report had it that more than two dozen Chinese fishing boats had moored at the Scarborough Shoal. These Chinese anglers

are escorted by Chinese battle frigates. The Chinese an-glers had been harvesting the shoal’s treasured marine species including giant clams that Filipino anglers did not touch as part of marine conservation program of the government.

All the while, the incumbent administration is glued with unseating the Chief Justice of the High Court as a declared political enemy. The Chief Justice was also suspect of rendering judgments inimical to the interest of the country’s highest elected public official. Of course, we are talking of President Benigno S. Aquino III.

Sometimes, we ponder on thoughts that the judiciary branch of the government should be a rubber stamp of an incumbent administration so this country could move on. Never mind the legislative branch of the government. With a historic record as Malacanang’s rubber stamp, the legislative branch of the government is an institu-tion that moves only at the behest of the President. In other words, the legislative branch of the government is unreliable on matters of national interest. After all, the meaning of national interest is only significant as defined by Malacanang.

It is for this reason that Congress is seemingly si-lent on Scarborough Shoal issue. Remember the 188 congressional representatives who signed the impeach-ment of the Chief Justice? Certainly, these congressional representatives signed the impeachment complaint on suspicions that the Aquino administration bribed them in exchanged of juicy pork barrel.

Tomorrow, the Filipino people will wake up with the Chinese might on their doorsteps. No, do not blame yourself. Blame the people that this country entrusted the nation’s fate. It is unfortunate that with this kind of government administration our future generation faces a bleak future. React: [email protected]

WE miss so much governance in local government. I can only imagine how many more we miss with national issues.

Just this week on the news we had two separate car accidents claiming the lives of teenagers. I am assuming this was all drunk driving.

The merits of the accident are not the issue but “drunk driving” that continues to be a menace. This is in direct relationship to the drivers and worst of all, pedestrians who become collateral damage. While we all know too well that drunk driving is prohibited we do not penalize or regulate drunk driving on our streets.

Our police are too lenient especially to the favored (rich) class when they are accosted but worst of all police not being present. I remember in Sydney where they have what they call booze-busters who block main avenues for a check.

If I remember correctly there were so many appre-hended loosing their driver’s license they couldn’t afford to loose. The implementation of the law while strict at the least saved countless lives.

So why do we take these matters lightly and do noth-ing about it? There is also the all too convenient stores peddling booze everywhere at all times of the day and night. There is no restriction selling booze to minors. And for that matter insert cigarettes in as well.

It is very much like our pollution issues. Drive down EDSA and one could easily apprehend the many utility bus and jeepney drivers who ply it daily. Private motorists are not exempt especially with their poorly maintained diesel engines.

The implementation of the law is no longer in place and our bronchial deterioration degenerates but most especially the police who ply the streets are exacerbated. Then of course there are the speed driven crazies who think they are the fast and the furious.

There are of course the gun-toting citizens who

KUTA SANG-AN, Laban-gan, Zamboanga del Sur -- In support of national development and in helping save lives, the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, under the Command of BGen. Ricardo Rainier G. Cruz III, has donated 88,200 cc of blood to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC).

The event was partici-pated in by candidate-sol-diers (CS) and personnel from the division head-quarters, led by Lt. Col. Munoz.

“The blood you donated will help save and prolong the lives of others not only in war, but also in times when mothers suffer from unstable delivery situa-tions.” Gen. Cruz said. (JPA/GCC-PIA 9, ZamboSur/Capt. Alberto Caber/asf )

GLOBE Telecom, through its corporate arm Globe Business, pushes efforts to increase awareness and ac-celerate adoption of Car-rier Ethernet services in the Philippines on the back of increasing focus on busi-ness continuity and disaster recovery centers; importance of compliances, regulations and convergence; IP migra-tion, as well as the evolution of border-less enterprises.

In an Ethernet Forum for its enterprise customers, Globe Business educated its clients on the true benefits of Carrier Ethernet services. With enterprises operating in multiple locations around the world, they require in-terconnection among their service providers as they expect the same service func-tion and performance in all their branches.

Carrier Ethernet is cur-rently the leading technol-ogy for real-time services including VoIP, disaster re-covery, video conferencing

Globe pushes PH Ethernet adoptionand other enterprise applica-tions. The increasing usage of various applications such as core banking, broadcast-ing, PoS/ ATM applications and content is playing a key role in the Ethernet market growth. Bandwidth intensive applications like IT/ITeS are also generating traction in Ethernet carrier services.

Ana ly s t s show t hat worldwide Ethernet service is expected grow past the $40-Billion by 2015, as tele-com industry players adopt ethernet services, products, solutions and equipment to meet the demand for backhaul and content rich applications, which in turn is fuelled by rising smartphone and tablet adoption rates.

“Ethernet helps service providers with better usage of infrastructure and band-width utilization to meet the demands,” said Grace Jarin-Castillo, Head of Enterprise Segments at Globe Business, “Globe has always been a dy-namic and pioneering player

in the telco industry and we have been offering Ethernet services in the country for more than a decade now, benefitting to service pro-viders, equipment vendors and users more quickly with higher quality services at lower cost. We are proud to say that we have made sig-nificant investments in our network infrastructure in order to provide high levels of availability and performance to our Ethernet subscribers.”

Speaking at the forum were Tellabs’ Systems Solu-tions for APAC Neelaksh Sharma, who shared his in-sights on the latest market trends and cost benefits of Carrier Ethernet and provid-ed information on Ethernet access infrastructure for both Ethernet and IP services; Globe Business Technical Solutions Architect Gilbert Virtucio, on the other hand, discussed specific case stud-ies on successful Ethernet deployments.

He also spoke about the

next generation Carrier Eth-ernet, CE 2.0, which is char-acterized by three powerful features – Multiple Classes of Service (Multi-CoS), Inter-connect and Manageability.

To establish a solid foun-dation for its Carrier Ether-net services, Globe passed numerous compliance tests and has achieved certifica-tions from the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), the defining body for Carrier Ethernet. Backed by MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications, the company’s customers are guaranteed that the Carrier Ethernet services offered by Globe meet globally-accepted in-ternational standards.

In addition, Globe was the first local telco to have MEF Carrier Ethernet Certified Professionals (MEF-CECPs), with Globe technical per-sonnel successfully pass-ing the rigorous exams on professional knowledge of Carrier Ethernet technolo-gies, standards, services and applications since July 2011.

Globe goes green, supports the Green Archers Football ClubArchers United Football Club, a national football team currently competing at the United Football League’s 1st Division.

The Green Archers Unit-ed Football Club was born in 1998 when multi-titled De La Salle Santiago Zobel School and De La Salle University football coach Hans Smit brought together

a group of La Salle alumni to form the Alabang Grins.

In 2009, the Alabang Grins qualified as 6th out of 15 teams in the then newly-formed United Football League. After a year, the

team was opened to other football players and non-La Sallians from all over the country and soon after, changed their name to Green Archers United Football Club to better reflect the

diversity of the team.The Green Archers Unit-

ed Football Club is engaged in the promotion of the sport of football in the Philippines through clinics, training programs, and participation in football tournaments for its members. The United Football League is an an-nual event composed of a Cup and League tournament with 2 divisions, 22 teams, weekly televised games, and a growing base of viewers and spectators across the country.

“Globe is relentless in supporting sports teams especially those coming from the grassroots. We be-lieve that the Green Archers United Football Club has huge potential in steering the country towards excel-lence in the field of sports and athletics, particularly in football, with their passion, talent and determination,” said Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu.

Present during the cer-emonial signing are Globe executives composed of (1st row from left) Senior Advi-sor for Consumer Business Peter Bithos, Chief Financial Officer Albert de Larrazabal, and President and CEO Er-nest Cu, together with Green Archers Football Club Team Manager Monchu Garcia and Technical Director Hans Smit, including the coaching staff and team members of the Club.

Agrarian Reform Com-munity, Avanceña Beneficia-ries Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative (ABFMPC) submitted a proposal for ARCCESS funding, a rice production and palay trad-ing. It has already been reviewed at DAR regional office and forwarded for approval at the national level”, Hermoso revealed.

Hermoso said that af-ter the needs assessment, DAR will hire a professional service provider from the private sector and non-government organizations to coach the ARB organi-zation in day-to-day busi-ness operations of common service facilities and in or-ganizational strengthening activities.

He added that ARCCESS consists of a package of interventions to raise farm income and productivity to improve rural enterprises to become commercially viable.

In a related development, DAR-Agusan del Norte OIC chief of the Beneficiaries Development and Coordi-nation Division informed that DAR, in partnership with the Surigao del Norte College of Agriculture and Technology, has conducted a needs validation to de-termine specific interven-tions that DAR will provide through ARCCESS.

Miranda said ARC-CESS will be implemented as public-private partner-ship in which DAR will tap the expertise of the private sector and other private institutions to pro-vide professional services to ARB organizations and link these organizations to agri-markets.

On one hand, Mayor Jason Paredes Almonte or-dered the police to imme-diately arrest the suspects.

“Oro quieta City i s dubbed as the city of good life and moving towards development and progress does not condoned with any crimes; such as killings and other criminal acts that suppresses its vision as a peaceful city,” said Almonte as he condoled the families of the victim.

struggle to preserve their own culture, tradition and practices, the onslaught of modern technologies brought by “outsiders” into their tribal life caused them to “reject” being connected to the mini-hydro power plant.

“When we constructed the mini-hydro power plant, we wanted it to energize the whole community of 50 households. However, the people preferred to be connected to the Bukidnon Second Electric Cooperative (BUSECO) because they already have refrigerators, televisions, and other appli-ances that rely on electric-ity,” said ESSC Program Di-rector Eric “Popoy” Bruno.

The ESSC is a Jesuit re-search institute that pro-motes environmental sus-tainability and social justice through the integration of scientific methodologies and social processes.

Established by Fr. Pedro Walpole, SJ, the ESSC oper-

ates the Apu Palamguwan Cultural Education Center (APC) in Sitio Bendum as a response to the desire of the Pulangiyen people to read, write and be educated in the context of their culture and life.

The APC adheres to a needs- and culture-based education, a strong advocacy of Walpole, who believes that if one is to be a produc-tive contributor to society he/she needs to be deeply-rooted in his/her culture.

The APC also empha-sizes the importance of making education accessible to indigenous cultural com-munities and in making the education system responsive to the needs of the people.

It also recognizes the importance of integrating the community’s knowledge system and way of life in the school curriculum to sustain the culture and tradition of the Pulangiyen and other cultural groups in the area.

Bruno said the APC is the only structure in pic-turesque Bendum that is powered by the mini-hydro power plant.

He, however, sees a very good future for the hydro plant as it now serves as a model that a small sitio or even barangay can be energized by a small free-flowing stream.

“We just have to be re-sourceful in taking advan-tage of whatever resources we have. But in doing so, we have to keep in mind that these resources are finite and therefore we have to use them sustainably. It is also important that we protect our immediate environment because it is our resource base,” he stressed.

In the construction of the mini-hydro plant and

spring box, the ESSC made sure that no trees were felled or cut. The ESSC also main-tains a reforestation area upstream in order to make the mini-hydro power plant viable for many years in the future. (Bong D. Fabe)

“If political leaders re-ally want transparency, they should disclose all their as-sets. Let’s be open,” Pabillo added.

Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles also believes that taking Corona’s challenge would erase doubt on every politician’s credibility.

“The nation will benefit a lot if they will sign a waiver,” Arguelles said.

In yesterday’s trial, Co-rona made a surprise move when he signed a waiver that would allow the opening of his and his wife’s bank deposits, including dollar accounts, and to reveal to the public his assets, net worth, and business interests.

However, he said that he would submit his waiver of the Bank Secretary Deposits Law under RA 1405 and

“Let us face the people together. The nation is at a standstill. Our people are watching all of us. Our people have been drawn into this web of deception and divisiveness,” Corona told the lawmakers.

Retired Archbishop Os-car Cruz said that more than anything else, Corona’s dare “is but a statement that those accusing him of dishonesty in making his SALN are dishonest themselves.”

“That’s why the basis of this is let us know who have no sin and throw the first stone. That’s the message,” Cruz said. [CBCPNews]

Daleon, Intag, and Ata-ma were able to escape but not Sarmiento.

However, the wife of the owner of the tunnel belied the report as she refused to open the tarp that covered the tunnel.

“Daghan nga na natabu-nan diring lugara apan ihi-lum lang sa tag-iya sa mga tunnel aron dili sila ka pa-nubag sa balaod ug maka-padayon sila sa ilang iligal nga pama-agi sa pagmina,” said Timuay Edgardo Gui-namoay when interviewed by Mindanao Daily News.

call themselves civil so-ciety. The law is not exempt with the rogue police and military who contribute to this problem. Do you still see street signs should you need to trace directions to a certain location?

Are there even enough street lights? Then of course there is the media with the

poor morals they project on broadcast. The cross-dress-ers and the gay community are all so relevant on these mediums they promote their promiscuity. Listen to the AM-talk radios in the day time and you will hear all the gay-speak as if this was the norm.

We cannot blame the President for the many many issues local government has been remiss with. The elec-tions are around the corner and unless we vote on com-petent and working leaders to clean up the streets, the local laws, and for regula-tion to be implemented we will only deteriorate.

It is not all about the impeachment. It is not all about the celebrities and the prizes the masses pay attention to. Should the non-body politic continue to control our environment only we will suffer its con-sequence? May I suggest we all take an active stand for this election and vote the competent people who will do the job? We can go on and on but for what purpose – to bash governance? Are our streets safe? Are we paying good money thru our taxes (considering we are taxed daily with the EVAT law) only to be murdered in our streets?
