ENVIRONMENT and Nat-ural Resources Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje hailed the ruling of the lower court convicting and imposing penalty on a resident of Barangay Impasugong, Bukidnon for killing and cooking a juvenile Philip-pine Eagle.

The Regional Tr ia l Court (RTC) of Malaybalay in Bukidnon recently im-posed a penalty amounting

Court convicts man for killing, eating Philippine Eagleto P100,000 on a certain Bryan Bala-on after find-ing him guilty of killing and cooking a young male Philippine Eagle.

“This would serve as a lesson and warning to other would-be violators of the law on wildlife resources conservation and protec-tion,” Paje said.

He said that under Re-public Act No. 9147, also called Wildlife Conserva-

tion and Protection Act, the killing of a critically endangered species is pun-ishable by imprisonment of between six and 12 years or a fine of between P100,000 to P1 million.

The government is ex-erting effort focused at preserving of what is left of the critically endangered species whose number is fast dwindling to only 300 pairs left scattered over the

country, particularly in the forests in Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao.

In an effort to raise na-tional awareness of preserv-ing the remnants of the Philippine Eagle, Presi-dential Proclamation No. 79 was issued on February 24, 1999, declaring June 4–10 of that and every year thereafter Philippine Eagle Week.

“This will always instill

in the minds and hearts of the Filipino people the significance of the Philip-pine Eagle as a biologi-cal indicator of the forest ecosystems and as national symbol,” Paje said.

He said the dwindling number of Philippine Eagles in the country reflects the state of the country’s dwin-dling forests.

He added: “That’s why we also have to seriously

look at investing at en-forcing laws to keep the existing forests intact and to rehabilitate damaged environments.”

He also reminded ev-eryone not to hurt or kill any Philippine Eagle, and if they can catch one that is wounded or ailing Phil-ippine Eagle, they should bring it immediately to the nearest DENR office.

REVILLA CASTS THE 16TH VOTE

Chief Justice Renato Corona was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines to be im-peached and subsequently convicted.

A vote of 16 either con-viction or acquittal was enough to decide the fate of the respondent Chief Justice of the Supreme Court since there were 23 members of the Senate impeachment court excluding impeach-ment President Juan Ponce Enrile.

By CRIS DIAZAssociate Editor

T H E S E NAT E , seating as an im-peachment court, yesterday convicted Chief Justice Renato Corona, 20-3 votes, for culpable viola-tion of the provision of the Constitution under Article II and for non-disclosure of his true assets, liabilities and net worth.

CORONAImpeachment head Sen-

ate President Juan Ponce Enrile formally terminated the impeachment court and adjourned the trial at about 6:15 p.m. after more than four hours when the court officially started past 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

Each of the Senator-member of the court casted and explained their votes before the impeachment court. Almost all who voted for the conviction accused the respondent CJ with be-trayal of public trust.

Senator Edgardo Angara led the judgment proceed-ings as the first to cast his vote of conviction followed by Allan Peter Cayetano who also voted for conviction.

‘Members of the high-est tribunal, especially the Chief Justice, should not be tainted with an iota of suspicion,’ Senator Serge Osmena said when he voted for conviction.

The senators who voted to convict the CJ almost shared the same argument when they explained about CJ’s undeclared US$ 2.4 million foreign account.

However, it was the 16th vote of conviction rendered by Senator Bong Revilla that sealed the fate of respondent Chief Justice Renato Corona to get a guilty verdict.

Senator Meriam Defen-sor Santiago who voted for the acquittal said the an omission in the declara-tion of the State, Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) does not constitute an impeachable offense.

She said that high gov-ernment officials and even members of the Senate are not actually disclosing their true net worth.

Senator Joker Arroyo called the impeachment trial as politically motivated and voted for the acquittal of Corona.

SINONOC, Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental––With few days left before the opening of classes, Mr. Cris E. Mahilac, the owner of Mindanao Express, Inc., donated school supplies to the children of Sinacaban.

Mr. Mahilac, who run but lost in last May 2010 election for the mayoral

race, told Mindanao Daily News that the donation of school supplies to the children of Sinacaban is part of Mindanao Express corporate responsibility.

As a Sinacabanon, and not because he wanted to run again in next year’s mid-term election, Mr. Mahilac was able to find enough time to share his blessings to his townmates, especially the children.

Mr. Mahilac, despite his hectic schedules in Manila, brought with him bundles of notebooks, boxes of pens and pencils, cartoons of crayons, and writing pads––and distributed them to 17 barangays of Sinacaban.

“Yes these are small things, but this can help not only the school chil-dren but to their parents who wants their children be educated and be the

solutions of their economic conditions,” he said.

Mahilac, who grew up in poverty, once became a shoeshine boy, run for errand, joined his parents selling goods in the barrios and earned extra cash for school needs. He became a successful businessman and owned a transport business.

For the past years, he had shared his wealth to every Sinacabanon.

MILF-GPH resume peace talks in Malaysia

Group (ICG), who sit as observers in the GPH-MILF peace negotiations, were not present in Monday’s session.

The negotiations re-sumed a month after the two sides signed the Deci-sion Points on Principles containing 10 points that will serve as a guide on the substantive issues to find a lasting solution to the long-drawn Mindanao armed conflict.

GPH chief negotiator Marvic Leonen has main-tained a “cautious optimism” for this new round of talks after holding a series of consultations in southern

Philippines the past months. OPAPP said the gov-

ernment peace panel had conducted a total of 96 consultations to date.

During these public dialogues, the GPH panel explained to stakeholders the content, concept and rationale of the Decision Points Principles.

In preparation for the talks this month, the GPH panel held dialogues with senators, congressmen, local chief executives in Min-danao, business leaders, Ulama, and members of the Organization on

THINK a minute.A very successful busi-

ness has this as their motto: “You can make excuses, or you can make money, but you can’t do both!”

It’s true. Many times we make excuses because we’re afraid. We’re afraid to fail, and of what people might think.

We’re afraid to change and do something new and different.

Or we’re afraid that we don’t have what it takes to be successful.

We think we’re not smart enough. But it’s only after you push past these fears and excuses that you can be confident to go for it! That’s

Make excuses or make money

the only way to start being successful in your life.

You see, successful peo-ple are human just like you and me.

They have to face the same fears and excuses we all do. But the difference is in what they do with their fears and excuses.

Even though they feel

afraid just like us, they sim-ply discipline and force themselves to go for it any-way. That’s the only way any new successful career or business got started.

Remember, successful people were also unsuc-cessful, until they chose to exchange their habit of making excuses for the bet-

ter habit of making the most of their abilities.

It just makes sense it’s the One Who made you Who knows all of your abilities and potential He gave you.

So if you ask Him to be your personal life manager, He’ll help you become all that He planned for you to be.

And the first thing He’ll do is get you to stop making excuses and to start being a success by being your best.

So why not ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and to take charge of your life today? Then, you can get started down your road to success.

Corona is convicted Aquino wins

fight vs. judiciaryI WAS supposed to write about the decision of the Senate, seating as an impeachment court, in the case of Chief Justice Renato Corona. How-ever, my column deadline is past due. I am sorry that I would be submitting this column sans the decision of the Senate impeachment court. Anyway, we can have a reaction column tomorrow.

The impeachment of the CJ hogged the limelight for 44 days leaving some pressing issues of the nations on hold.

The same is true with the media where stories of the impeachment trial came out daily in almost all broadsheet and tabloids. The local events had been almost set aside since everyone was on the impeachment trial.

Anyway, I able was to catch up some Senators who rendered their decisions. Those who initially voted for CJ’s conviction were Senators Angara, Drilon, the Cayetano siblings, Escudero, Estrada, Guingona, and Honasan. Those voted for the acquittal were Senators Santiago and Arroyo.

Let us base our comments on Senators who rendered their decisions as I was writing this commentary. The vote for conviction of Senator Angara was expected. The

fact that his son is one of the members of the prosecu-tion, Angara’s decision to convict CJ Corona was already in the bag. The Cayetano siblings and Escudero were expected to render a conviction since the ruling political party – the Liberal Party – was eyeing them to be part of the their Senatorial ticket in an election next year. As one of the LP’s stalwarts, Drilon’s vote of conviction was inarguable.

Estrada’s vote for conviction was one of those unex-pected. Many believed that Estrada would vote for the acquittal for political reason. There were initial thoughts that Corona’s conviction would have consequences on the recently forged political alliance between former President Erap Estrada and Vice President Jejomar Binay. Guingona’s vote of conviction was tainted with political color. With Senator Honasan’s vote for conviction, the Senate, as an impeachment court has convicted Corona.

Santiago’s vote for acquittal was based on legal argu-ments saying the non-disclosure and inaccuracy in the filling up of SALN is unimpeachable. Senator Arroyo also voted for acquittal because he believed that Malacanang instigated the impeachment case.

Actually, Arroyo did not mention the word Mala-canang. However, his argument was obviously refer-ring to the President Aquino’s blatant interference and influence in the impeachment of the CJ. That is the truth. However, the conviction of Corona was victory for President Aquino.

Where are we in our construction industry?IN any country, the building construction industry is a major economic indicator. Decline or growth of this sector reflects well on the overall health of a country’s economy.

Apparently, a strong and dynamic local construction industry of a fast-moving expansion in the realm of vertical construction is one gauge of a healthy and active economy. It can attract and encourage investors to pour in their resources to the country, thereby creating more job opportunities and employment for the people.

As new and more build-ings arise and investments accelerate, so too is the capacity of the government to provide more basic social services for its citizenry. But, where are we in our construction industry?

It may be recalled that there was a slow turn-over of construction statistics in the mid-90s shortly after the devolution of certain

powers, responsibilities and resources from the central government to the prov-inces, cities and municipali-ties and barangays of the Philippines as provided in RA 7160, otherwise known as Local Government Code of 1991.

This prompted this writ-er to organize in Cagayan de Oro City the Philippine Association of Building Of-ficials (PABO) to address this felt need of making the Building Officials re-sponsive and accountable in taking the responsibility of managing construction statistics. This organization was successful in eliciting the support of building

officials from all over the country and it has grown into a strong and responsible organization.

As a sign of their grati-tude PABO recognized this writer as the “Father of Philippine Association of Building Officials” during the 3rd National Convention of Philippine Association of Building Officials on October 28, 2003 held at the World Trade Center, Philippines.

Going back to the ques-tion “Where are we in our construction industry?” inspired this writer to give the readers significant infor-mation. Based on the latest statistics from the approved

building permits reported during the fourth quarter of 2011, there were a total of 24,610 new construc-tion projects in the entire country.

This number registered an increase of 7.6 percent compared to 22,879 con-struction projects over the same period in 2010. Both residential and non-residen-tial building constructions exhibited an upward trend.

Residential-type build-ing construction in the fourth quarter of 2011 slightly went up by 4.5 per-cent to 17,451 from 16,697. Similarly, non-residential building construction for the period exhibited a growth of 9.7 percent to 3,407 from 3,106 projects.

By examining these con-struction data, we are given an insight as to when the local economy performed well and when it did badly. By further breaking down these figures as to how

MISAMIS Oriental actually has five, not four amateur boxers in the national box-ing pool.

Eduardo A. Ayunting, deputy regional director of the of the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philip-pines (ABAP) for Region 10, clarified that because of a mix-up over her affiliation, Girl’s Light Flyweight Prin-cess Galarfe was initially thought by the ABAP to be from Cebu but was only recently correctly identi-fied to be from Misamis Oriental.

Five of Misamis Ori-ental’s seven gold medal winners during the recently concluded 2012 PLDT-ABAP National Amateur

Five, not four Misor boxers to national amateur training poolBoxing Championship have made it to the National Amateur Boxing Training Pool.

Ayunting identified the four other Misor boxers as 18 year-old Rey March Ca-sas (Boys Light Flyweight), Julito Sumalinog, 16 (Jr. Boy’s Flyweight/light ban-tamweight?), Jeanvee Flores, 18 (Girl’s Bantamweight) and Margie Waga, 17 (Girl’s Flyweight).

He said the province has secured the parents’ permission to allow their children to report to the ABAP Training Center at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, Manila so they can start practicing with the National Pool and hope-

fully make it someday as a National Boxer.

According to the let-ter from ABAP Exec. Dir. Ed Picson, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and the ABAP will handle all the Misor boxers travel ex-penses to Manila, daily sti-pend and education should their parents permit them to join the National Pool.

The province’s long run-ning amateur boxing pro-gram emerged as the best team with seven gold medals at the recently concluded 2012 PLDT-ABAP National Amateur Boxing Champi-onship held in Tagbilaran City. With five silvers and eight bronzes, the Misor team also had the most

number of medals.Light flyweight Juniel

Lacar emerged as the Best Boxer in his division. Other gold medal winners includ-ed Julito Sumalinog (light bantamweight), Princess Galarfe (Girl’s flyweight), Rey March Casas (Boys Light Flyweight), Beverly Casero (Girls Pinweight), Margie Waga (Girl’s Fly-weight) and Jeanvee Flores (Girl’s Bantamweight).

However, the biggest ac-colade for the present crop of amateur Misor boxers so far in the sport known as the ‘sweet science’ has been accorded to 14-year old Roberto Miguel Jalnaiz, who was selected by the Philippine Sports Commis-

sion (PSC) to represent the Philippines to the London Summer School Sports Pro-gram at St. Bede’s School in London on July 29 to August 12, 2012 for his outstanding performance at the Batang Pinoy Games.

The program is a proj-ect of the PSC and The British Council to provide young athletes with foreign exposure while building character and strengthen-ing their self-confidence. Participants get to watch the London Olympics and meet with other athletes from other nations.

This all-expenses paid program, which was started last year to promote the London Olympics locally,

aims to expose the 14 and 15-year-old athletes, some of whom have not gone overseas, to living in a for-eign country and interact-ing with kids from other nationalities.

Jalnaiz and the medal winners in Tagbilaran are undergoing training at the MisOr-PLDT-ABAP Re-gional Amateur Boxing Training Center, a joint project of the Provincial Government of Misamis Oriental, the Amateur Box-ing Association of the Phil-ippines (ABAP) and PLDT headed by head coach and trainer, 1990 Asian Games Bantamweight Gold Medal-ist and two-time Olympian Roberto Jalnaiz.

each region performed, it is possible to get a hint as to which regions offer the best living conditions and which offer ample job opportunities. Thus, exam-ining the data for Northern Mindanao Region is impera-tive for us to determine if there is an improvement in the construction industry.

Approved bui ld ing permits during the fourth quarter of 2011 in North-ern Mindanao registered a total of 1,653 applications, representing 18.07 percent compared with 1,400 ap-proved building permits during the same period of 2010.

An increase in applica-tion over this period was observed for both residential with 10 percent and non residential construction with 26.5 percent. Among the non residential con-structions, commercial type of construction topped with 105 applications or 56.45 percent and this was fol-lowed by Institution type with 17.20 percent.

This is evident with the ongoing construction of commercial buildings in Cagayan de Oro City, par-ticularly Centrio, Limketkai Center, Paseo del Rio and other constructions seen in the entire region.

Among the provinces, Misamis Oriental has the highest number of build-ing constructions during the fourth quarter of 2011 with 807 applications. On the other hand, most of the provinces displayed an increase except Lanao del Norte which went down by 13.36 percent.

The province of Bukid-non registered an in-crease of 35.96 percent, Camiguin-52.25 percent, Misamis Occidental-16.77 percent and Misamis Ori-ental-20.99 percent.

The emphasis of govern-ment programs particularly in the region is now focused on the basic infrastructure requirements of disadvan-taged and economically depressed areas, more so on housing needs of households particularly those who were affected by typhoon Send-ong. Several houses were built in the areas to help them re- build their lost homes during this tragedy. Providing these people with housing is currently being prioritized.

Moreover, the roads on the national highways were now being constructed and repaired because this is one of the moves in alleviating the plight and improving the way of life and socio economic standing of folks living in deprived areas as they step forward into the road of economic growth.

The MILF, however, said that the final peace agree-ment especially the inclu-sion of areas to the proposed new Bangsamoro entity, may undergo a plebiscite, a top rebel official said.

Ghadzali Jaafar, MILF vice chairman for politi-cal affairs, issued the pro-nouncement as the peace panels resumed negotiations in Kuala Lumpur, the capi-tal of third-party mediator Malaysia.

“The plebiscite will de-pend on the content of the

[final peace] agreement. That [plebiscite] will have to be discussed. But for the MILF, we want the ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) and areas with Moro population within the new Bangsamoro entity,” he told a local radio station.
