AUTHORITIES have
started an investigation
into an explosion in a house
at Bayanihan Village in Ba-
rangay Sta. Elena, Iligan
City, at dawn yesterday.
The place is a resettle-
ment site for survivors of
the December 2011 storm
“Sendong” devastation.
Last week, tension gripped
Bayanihan Village after
city hall sent a team to
padlock houses being used
by families who are not in
the list of beneficiaries of
the housing program.
Nonocan police com-
mander Senior Insp. Dex-
ter Ceniza said investiga-
tors were facing a blank
wall on the explosion in
the house being occupied
by one Mike Abdullah.
Abdullah, who was un-
scathed, said he was in bed
when the explosion ripped
through his house.
He said he found out
that an explosive was
thrown into the kitchen of
the house.
“There were holes in
the kitchen door,” he said.
If not for the refrig-
erator, Abdullah said, he
would have been injured.

Local facility of aircraft parts maker to boost production in Philippines

LTFRB wary on PCC
order allowing Uber
to continue operations
THE Land Transportation
Franchising and Regulatory
Board (LTFRB) has expressed
concern that the order of the
Philippine Competition Com-
mission (PCC) for ride-shar-
ing firms Uber and Grab to
maintain their separate busi-
ness operations beyond April
8 would adversely impact the
safety and welfare of the rid-
ing public.
This, after Uber disclosed
that it no longer has the funds
and manpower to continue its
operations.
“If there is a road crash and
they would like to file their
complaint before Uber, who
will respond to their cases when
there is no one on board in their
office. Their apps might be up
but is the back system in place?
Is the full support in place?”

cause how can the riding public
be assured of their safety and
convenience when it is only

their apps will be running but
there is no back-up support sys-
tem?” she added.
The LTFRB said it will con-
tinue to process the migration
of Uber’s drivers to Grab’s
platform.
Grab earlier said that Uber’s
Southeast Asia operations will
continue only until April 8 after
acquiring its ride-sharing and
food delivery businesses last
March 26.
The PCC has directed Uber
to continue operating its app for
the duration of their motu pro-
pio review.
It has formulated various
interim measures that would
ensure the credibility and integ-
rity of its review on the merger
of Uber and Grab for possible
anti-competition concerns dur-

Study: Over 80% of Mindanao’s farmers, fisherfolk remain ‘poor’
MINDANAO’s develop-
ment remains key to the
Philippines’ economic
progress.
But over 80% of Mind-
anao’s farmers and fisher-
folk remain “poor or near-
poor and lack scale and
skills to compete” so efforts
to make them more produc-
tive must be strengthened to
bring growth and address
poverty in Mindanao, and
achieve economic prog-
ress in the Philippines, the
World Bank-funded Min-
danao Jobs Report (MJR)
2017 said.
Providing a compre-
hensive strategy to unlock
the island’s potentials, the
MJR said economic prog-
ress in the Philippines de-
pends on the success of the
development of Mindanao,
the country’s main agricul-
tural producer.
“Unless there is de-
velopment in Mindanao,
it is hard to see how the
Philippines can achieve
sustained and inclusive
growth,” it said.
The 92-page study em-
phasized the need to pri-
oritize the development of
“agriculture, forestry, and
fisheries” as it employs
nearly half of workers in
Mindanao but noted 78
percent of the individuals
with incomes below the
poverty line are found in
the rural areas.
Agriculture also drove
60 percent of Mindanao’s
economy and employment
in 2012, it said
The report found that
the lack of competition
in key sectors, insecure
property rights, complex
regulations, and severe
underinvestment in in-
frastructure, education,
and health resulted to
anomalous growth pat-
tern, leaving “majority
of Mindanawons without
good jobs and has led to
the emigration of many
talented people.”
It noted that except for
a few export agricultural
crops, the agriculture sec-
tor is not very productive,
inadequate infrastructures
limit growth of manufac-
turing, and agricultural
workers who cannot land
jobs in cities often end up
in the low-productivity,
low skill services sector.
It explained that im-
proving production in
Mindanao could reduce
food and input prices, im-
prove welfare, and make
Philippine products more
competitive.
The report’s main com-
ponents are: raise agri-
cultural productivity and
improve farm-to-market
connectivity; boost hu-
man development; and
address drivers of conflict
and fragility and build up
Editor: Cong B. Corrales
institutions in Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindan-
ao (Armm).
The MJR also identified
three priorities to maxi-
mize the potentials of Min-
danao such as raising farm
productivity through agro
spatial approaches and pro-
ductive alliances; building
up logistics services, im-
proving roads from fields
to markets; and developing
key ports and modernize
custom procedures.
Improve connectivity
The report also empha-
sized the need to connect
the rural and conflict-af-
fected areas to cities be-
cause they serve as “con-
duits of rural development”
4
since the rural areas rely on
cities for food processing,
marketing, and logistics
support to deliver produce
to other markets here and
abroad.
“Better rural roads
would reduce cost and
product losses for poor
farmers and could make
a major contribution to
reducing poverty,” it said.
The report suggested
giving incentives to lo-
cal government units to
encourage them create a
comprehensive rural roads
plan and help them fund
for these road projects to
stimulate productivity and
equity, and create jobs.

Manhunt on vs blast
suspects in Cotabato
COTABATO City —
Police and military forc-
es have launched a man-
hunt against two men
captured on close circuit
television camera toss-
ing a pillbox bomb from
a road flyover here last
Sunday night.
The pillbox explod-
ed at around 7 pm at a
residential area under
the Dapdap flyover in
Barangay Rosary Heights
2, which injured 35-year-
old Letlet Paraan, a side-
walk vendor, in her stom-
ach.
Senior Supt. Rolly
Octavio, city police di-
rector, said the incident
was motivated by the
arrest of two suspected
holdup men by village
watchmen who reside
under the flyover.
“The arrest last week
of two suspected robbers
allegedly angered their
relatives and vent their ire
on the watchmen,” Octa-
vio said in an interview.
Lt. Colonel Gerry Be-
sana, chief of the 6th
Infantry Division Civil
Military Operations, said
two men riding on a mo-
torbike stopped atop the
road network, tossed the
explosive and sped off.
Besana said the pill-
box landed at the roof of
Jessie Himaya’s residence
located under the flyover.
Few seconds later, a loud
explosion followed and
hurt the female vendor.
Responding police
and military personnel
brought the victim to the
Cotabato Regional and
Medical Center for treat-
ment where she was pro-
nounced out of danger.
Police and Army bomb
disposal experts recov-
ered black powder, cut
tie wires and improvised
bomb components at the
blast site.
Octavio said police are
pursuing a lead, which
would hopefully result to
the arrest of the perpetra-
tors. He added the inci-
dent was isolated. (pna)

CSC holds career service test anew NEW MISAMIS ORIENTAL

TANDAG City — In less
than a month time and rare
instance, the Civil Service
Commission (CSC) is set
to conduct career service
sub-professional and pro-
fessional examinations on
April 15.
Imelda Bongabong,
newly installed director
of the CSC field office in
Surigao del Sur, believed
that this action taken by
their head office is owing
to the mounting demand of
those who were not accom-
modated during the recent
career service test given on
March 18.
Since the deadline of
filing for application was
set April 3, 2018, the same
CSC official advised that
qualified applicants had to
dash off.
She called on all hope-
fuls to take advantage of
the situation before the
close of office hours.
The announcement
came after Bongabong
was installed by no less
than Regional Director
(RD) Resurreccion Pueyo
together with Assistant
Regional Director (ARD)
Atty. Winston Plaza of
the CSC Caraga Regional
Office. (pia caraga)

Over the years,

largely ruled by lead-
ers who couldn’t shake off their colonial
mentality, our people are not yet free
enough or confident enough to deal with
officials they vote into office, unable to
make them accountable or responsive to
the needs of the citizenry.
Not only that, as constituents and
the source of all government authority,
our people have yet to learn to repudi-
ate officials who prove incompetent,
unworthy of the public trust, or corrupt.
As a result, even the most scandalous or
Whisper of the guns
GUNS laid bare. No words. No conver-
sation. Nothing.
It was the first-time guns failed to
hear the noise, the
Julkipli Wadi bragging, the laughing
of their fellows. Instead,
they were on display while banded to-
gether, tightly tied in their barrels while
completely muzzled by their mouths.
They were showcased according to
their places of origin with their respected
tag names; there were 19 of them. They
heard that the master with big boots was
coming. He wanted to see them.
Each gun was flabbergasted. It was
unlike many years ago.
They’d the master’s love. They were
happy and gay. They felt secured, hand-
some and majestic with their sophisticat-
ed looks. They were frequently cleansed.
Wiped. Oiled. And cleansed again.
In their homes, Garand used to sleep
under the bed of its master. M14 and
its ilk were just standing everywhere in
the house’s wall. M16 used to man the
door; Bazooka, proudly sat at its mas-
ter’s camp, and 50 Caliber was mounted
in the veranda. Rifle Grenade, with its
brothers, lay inside a wooden box near
the house’s cabinet.
And they were always full back then;

But it is also possible that both can coin-

of the Christian faith, and so I can be
both of them.
In short, depending on how they
relate themselves to the Christian faith, I
am neither of them or both of them.

corrupt officials in their own community
are not held to account.
It is a serious weakness of our
democracy that no official has been
dispossessed by their own constituents
of the power delegated to them. They are
simply tolerated and left to themselves
or, in many cases, simply buy their way
out through bribery. And so they are ale
to continue to do harm to government
and society.
It’s mostly because our brand of
“democracy”—if one can call it that—
emasculates rather than empowers our
citizens. Decades of tolerance of ersatz
democracy—by both the government
and the people—have not enabled any
of our communities to govern even the
small jurisdiction that is their barangay.
As a result, the people of our neigh-
borhoods still do not possess the expe-
rience or self-confidence that is derived
from participating in the governing
process. Unable to assert their sovereign
right to participate, they ignore or belit-

their stomachs always had their favor-
ite foods. Some of them even had their
stomach called “long play” where two
clips of Armalite are conjoined, while
attached to a “double body.”
Those were the days – unlike today.
Their status had never been the same
since they were transferred to that place
they were partly unaware, yet partly
familiar. Some of them remembered that
they were once there. They could even
recognize some old faces around.
What puzzled them was that the last
ones who used to own them, to hold
them, and to carry them by their shoul-
ders looked pensive too. They were in
state of “tahammul” – dumbfounded..
The guns and their masters could
only take a gloomy stare with each other
without saying a word, as if they’d swal-
lowed a “bilu-uk” – a young coconut
fruit that blocks one’s throat.
They were just separated in few
distance, but their masters could not
even find a word – let alone take a step
to hold them and say goodbye for the
last time.

conservatives is obviously a by-product
of partisan politics. The lines between
them are not very clearly and sharply
drawn. They definitely are not mutually
exclusive. But more or less, we know
what is to be liberal and what is to be
conservative.
Given that, I normally excuse myself
from considering myself as one of them.
That’s simply because there are a lot
of opinion-making involved, and I as a
priest have learned to respect these opin-
ions, even if I do not agree with some of
them. I believe it is always good to be
open-minded, even if there are disagree-
ments. The other side will always have
some valid points, albeit improperly
valued.
It may also happen that due to par-
tisan differences, truths of faith and not
anymore opinions are involved. In these
cases,

Anywhere
but there
THE Pinoy with much time for a long
summer vacation is former Justice Sec-
retary Vitaliano Aguirre who resigned
last Thursday. This was
Ms. Behavin’
a resignation waiting
to happen for so long,
his non-fans’ deep
sigh of relief could be
heard from Aparri to
Jolo. That’s how wide
the clamor was for
his ouster.
Aguirre is suppos- Netnet
edly planning to run for Camomot
the Senate next year but
the negative publicity he’s attracting is
not exactly a good start.
At least he now has time to pre-
pare for his campaign. I wonder what
his strategy will be without the media
mileage he gained as Justice secretary.
Only former Justice Secretary Leila de
Lima could morph into a senator, and
still remain relevant despite being jailed
for her alleged involvement with illegal
drugs. The Pinoy forgives and forgets
and the Marcoses know exactly how
that’s possible. Some Pinoy showbiz
celebrities can also expect a warm wel-
come each time they make a comeback.
Baron Geisler, anyone?
But Gabby Concepcion and Sharon
Cuneta, obviously sans the latter’s “For-
give and Forget,” may not have their
reunion movie soon due to irreconcil-
able differences. Even Channing Tatum
and Jenna Dewan are separating after
almost nine years of marriage—yes,
anything has been possible since Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie called it quits
in September 2016. Tsk tsk. It’s time to
move forward without history’s excess
baggage.
If only the weather can also move
forward. From humidity, that is. During
these times, the senior-moment skin has
to survive without lotion and BB cream
which can worsen that feeling of…
No, not emptiness. Of hotness. The bad
hotness, with sweat flowing down the
spine.
Colorado State University has issued
a forecast for an above-average sea-
son of hurricanes for the US this year.
This may trigger flashbacks to Katrina,
Harvey, and Irma among flood survi-
vors who have to learn to move forward
amidst the loss. Try and try until you
succeed, as the saying goes. Thomas
Edison went through 1,000 tries in
inventing the light bulb—that kind of try
and try.
Will Pagasa also issue the same fore-
cast for Pinas? Hmmm. Abangan.
Uptown Cagayan de Oro is now the
preferred residential area after Sendong
which may result to a Catch-22 situation
for the city. Developers have altered the
uptown landscape, cutting down trees
to make way for subdivisions. With no
trees to stop rainwater from flowing
to the downtown area, floods can only
worsen, unless the construction of an
effective drainage system can keep up
with uptown’s rapid urbanization.
And I heard there was morning
traffic again near Pryce Plaza along
Masterson Avenue on Saturday despite
the summer vacation and students not
joining the morning commute to the city
proper. So, the traffic there has evolved
into a suwerte-suwerte lang? And all
along I thought that song is only for the
rain:
“Sadya bang suwerte-suwerte lang
‘pag umuulan
No’n pa lang ako naabutan ng suwer-
teng gano’n

Reveling with Guevarra, Albayalde

TRULY admirable were the recent
appointments made by President
Duterte at the Department
of Justice (Secretary
Menardo Guevarra) and
at the Philippine National
Police (Director Gen-
eral Oscar Albayalde).
There are no derogatory
criticisms against the
two, serious or otherwise,
and so the country could Batas
not help it if they revel in Mauricio
Guevarra’s and Albay-
alde’s having been given their new
positions.
What I would want to see now,
and which I would like to bring to
the attention of Guevarra and Al-
bayalde even on bended knees, and,
perhaps, to the attention likewise
of everyone else that the President
has installed in different positions in to the king under the guidance of
government under his presidency, is
their compliance with and obedience hunger that hit their country.
to the standards for outstanding
officials or leaders which are written standard of who is a good leader
in the verses of the Bible.
The first among these standards
is this: having the Spirit of God.
This is found in Genesis 41:1-40, in
the story of the seven-year famine
that was to hit Egypt. This famine
was prophesied to happen in a series
of dreams that came to the king (or
pharaoh) of Egypt which, initially,
were not understood by everyone
except Joseph, one of the 12 sons of
Jacob.
After Joseph (the dreamer) clari- second is a distaste or disdain for
fied what the king’s dreams were all
about, he also explained to the Egyp-
tian king what must be done
by Egyptians to overcome the
famine that was to hit their
land for seven long years.
Joseph said the king must
choose someone who will
manage the country--some-
one who was gifted with
discernment and in whom the
Spirit of God dwells.
The king took a hard look at
Joseph, and saw that there was
discernment in him precisely be-
cause the Spirit of God was in him.
Then and there, the king decided
to appoint, as he indeed appointed,
Joseph as Egypt’s second ruler, with
the primary duty of preparing for
the famine. With Joseph at the helm
of running the country second only
God, Egyptians prevailed against the
On the other hand, the second
is shown by Exodus 18:13-23 of
the Bible, in the promise that was
given to Moses by his father-in-law,
Jethro. Jethro saw that Moses was all
by his lonesome in settling disputes
among the Israelites, and in running
the affairs of his countrymen, so
he gave his son-in-law what to him
were qualities of a good leader.
The first quality that Exodus
18 mentioned for a good leader to
possess is having fear of God. The
wrongful financial gain or benefit.
In my readings of the Bible, I saw
what is meant by “fear of God”, and
distaste for wrongful financial gain.
In Ecclesiastes 12:13, King Sol-
omon (or the king who had no equal
in intellect among the kings before
him and even among the kings after
him, even up to the present) clarified
that the duty of mankind is to fear
God and obey all His commands.
This simply means it is well for men
and women to know the commands
of God (through a reading of His
Bible), and obey everything written
in them.
Jesus prohibited, on the other
hand, the accumulation of riches--
or the wealth of the world--by any
man, because this brings destruction,
bringing the wealthy to the hell of
fire and worms (Matthew 16:26).
Then, 1 Timothy 6:10 clarified, the
love of money is the root of all evil,
which brings nothing but misfortune.
***
This an appeal to concerned TV
companies to be more circumspect in
the choice of the programs they air,
to prevent Filipinos from lessening
in, or altogether losing, their belief
in God.
With due respect, one example
of programs that is bound to all
the more negatively affect the faith
of Filipinos in God are those with
themes dealing with the supposed
capabilities of witch doctors to inter-
change the souls of people who are
still living, to enable those souls to
inhabit the bodies of other persons.
In the Christian faith--which I am
certain is the faith espoused by the
owners of the aforesaid TV com-
panies--there is no man anywhere
in the world who has the power to
transfer souls of people to other
bodies. This kind of a power, if ever,
belongs only to Jesus, our God and
Savior who is God the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
Be that as it may, if only a more
serious study of the Bible is made
by anyone, it will not fail to impress
them that, yes, there are people who
have been gifted with the power of
magic or of great miracles which
other human beings have not been
blessed with. But this power of mag-
ic and of great miracles can never
prevail against the power of God.
This much is shown by the story
of Moses and by the miracles that
God performed through him to com-
pel the king of Egypt then to allow the
nation of Israel to leave the country
and worship their God. In the first
tragedies that God sent to Egypt, the
magicians and sorcerers in the service
of the king managed to duplicate what
God had done through Moses.
But in the curse of the gnats
which came from the dust of Egypt,
the king’s magicians and sorcerers
failed to produce their own gnats.
They were forced to confess to their
king that the gnats “were the hand-
iwork of God” and that they didn’t
have the power to imitate the produc-
tion of gnats. Subsequently, not one
of these magicians and sorcerers
succeeded in replicating the other
more serious plagues that God sent
through Moses.
At present, the prophecy from the
Bible that many will abandon their
faith in God and would be obeying
instead the deceiving teachings and
directions of evil is undeniably tak-
ing place already (1 Timothy 4:1).
As a consequence, during the end
times (the very time where we are all
in right now), many will turn to sin
in their thoughts, speech, action, and
appearance.
There is only one who will be
happy with this. It would be the
devil, because this would enable
him to bring many to the hell of fire
and worms. That being the case, all
those who truly believe in God must
act and obey His commands: snatch
away those who have been destined
for hell, and no believer must say
that he has nothing to do with this
work of snatching away, for God
knows their hearts and would corre-
spondingly punish them.
The question here is simple:
how can believers snatch away
those who have been destined to go
to hell if people continue receiving
deceiving teachings and directions
of evil, through television, radio,
newspapers, and even through the
Internet? Media must then endeavor
to stop the airing of any material that
encourages drifting away from God!

tle their role in government.
How else can almost 90% of
our political units be ruled
by shameless autocrats and
dynastic politicos? And how
else can these trapos indulge
their egos, holding on to
public office for as long as
they like?
The irony is, no one in
power is even self-con-
scious or apologetic about
this flagrant power-greed.
They simply do all the gov-
erning, not bothering with
the demands of account-
ability or the principle of
consent-of-the-governed.
Is it any wonder that our
society is bereft of states-
man-like leaders?
Shame, atrocious man-
ners, scandalous behavior
now rule Philippine Society.
And its decent elements
are marginalized. Human
dignity and even church
institutions are subjected to
profane, foul language, no
less by the president. And
the people give him unprec-
edented levels approval.
Yet the law empowers
our people to express or
assert their sovereign will
in various ways. They are
members of their Baran-
gay Assembly, their local
parliament. It is their local
legislative governing body.
When people are pre-
vented from initiating local
laws or ordinances—tasks
that give meaning and sub-
stance to the concept of a
government of the people,
by the people, and for the
people—democracy cannot
develop properly. These
tasks are the essentials of
autonomy, which in turn is
the essence of federalism.
Involvement and partic-
ipation enable people to ap-
preciate and learn the art and
craft of political science and
is Democracy-in-Action. It
exemplifies the principle
that power must rise from
below; that the power and
authority of government
emanate from the citizens
and not from their presump-
tuous officials.
But too many if not all
of our officials have no taste
for accountability or under-
standing of the principle of
consent-of-the-governed.
They are fake democrats.
They do not understand
that the people’s political
maturity is our Republic’s
best assurance that it will
be firmly anchored upon
People Power.
Not to involve the peo-
ple in the governing process
is to betray the public trust.
It is to violate the people’s
inherent right to secure their
own welfare and create their
own prosperity. And it is to
keep them dependent upon
the ministrations of their
public servants. And this
explains why most Filipi-
nos—sovereign citizens
all!—continue to rely on
directives from above.
It is time we disabuse
ourselves of the attitude that
power resides in the halls of
Imperial Manila. And it is
time to remind the people of
Davao that there should be
no room in our democracy
or in their city hall for dic-
tators and dynasties.
When enough Filipinos
awake to their bounden
duty and right to govern
their own community and
government, that is when
we can confidently proclaim
that democracy reigns in
the Philippine Archipelago.
Because only then will there
be an Assertive Brand of
Sovereignty to guide our
Republic.

was a wedding in Kan-awn.
M14 together with M16, Ga-

they were served with Tausug
delicacies of all kinds. They’d
a lived conversation.
M14 remembered how
M16 bragged about himself.
As he sipped his coffee,
M16 said: “I like to eat ‘du-
rul.’ It is a delicious black
cake available in every ‘pag-
tiya-unan’ or wedding cere-
mony.”
“It must also be the favor-
ite of M79,” M16 recounted.
“They both have cases – one
wrapped with brown leaves;
the other’s food in green, hard
plastic.” “They are both sim-
ilar in size,” M16 persisted,
“but the one with M79 is shin-
ier and louder when fired.”
“While the one is popular
in every market,” M16 boast-
ed, “the other comes from
elsewhere.”
“Elsewhere?” Bazooka
cut M16 as it gawked M79
almost telling him to respond.
M79: “I don’t know too.”
Garand: “That’s the prob-
lem with you: you bragged
to the hilt without you even
knowing where that green
plastic thing comes from.”
M79: “Why are you in-
sulting me?” “Do you know
how I am highly prized by
my master?”
Before Garand could an-
swer M79, a sound of big
boots stopped him.
Thump! Thump!
Silence dawned upon
them. Their masters were still
in state of “tahammul.” They
were “kiyapupungan” – in
immobile condition. The guns
looked at each other; they’d
resort to whisper.
I loved a “patulakan,”
jokingly murmured Rifle

“Pssst!” Bazooka signaled
everyone to keep quite with a
finger in its mouth.
Thump! Trump!

From page 6
I try to proclaim the truth of
faith involved, clarify and
explain it without getting into
partisan arguments.
If my explanations are
accepted, good and I thank
God. If not, I just wait, pray
and be patient. I believe that
is the human and Christian
way to react. Regardless of
how things go, charity should
always prevail.
I firmly believe that it
is Christian faith that can
enable us to assess the issues
properly. After all, it is where
our faith is that holds for us
the ultimate source of truth
and justice and that gives us
the global picture of things.
And I put my faith in God,
in Christ, in the Church, and
not in myself alone, nor in the
many consensus that we as a
people make.
Of course, this faith has
to be a living faith, not just a
theoretical faith based solely
on articulated doctrine. It
should be a faith that is vitally
in touch with reality, with the
things on the ground without
losing its footing in heaven.
In this way, it is a faith that
can properly identify the lights
and shadows, the accents and
nuances of our times, and
know how to judge and react
to them. It is a faith that is both
a result of prayer and contem-
plation of the truths taught by
Christ and now by the Church
as well as direct observation
of the things involved in a
particular issue.
It’s a faith that is doctrinal
but not a doctrinaire, and that
is both in heaven and on earth.
We need to see to it that we
have such faith, otherwise we
will simply fall into some kind
of dogfight that in the end is
unnecessary.
It’s a faith that can handle
and is respectful of the differ-
ences of valid opinions and
preferences of people. It’s a
faith that always goes together
with hope and charity, and as
such knows how to be patient
and optimistic, as well as how
to be delicate, understanding
and merciful with everyone.
It’s a faith that possesses
the characteristic of charity
as explained by St. Paul: “It is
not arrogant or rude, does not
insist on its own way, is not
irritable or resentful, does not
rejoice at wrong, but rejoices
in the right.” (1 Cor 13, 5-6)

THE Villar group of compa-
nies is considering entering into
gaming to complement its ex-
tensive infrastructure and prop-
erty development ventures, as it
rides on the growth of the Phil-
ippine economy.
Paolo Villar, head of the
group’s listed real estate firm

in airport projects and infrastruc-
ture, particularly for telecommu-
nications and power sectors.
Villar said they expect to

Davao city steps up monitoring
the prices of non-NFA rice: Sara
MAYOR Sara Duterte-Carpio
over the weekend said Davao
City is poised to step up moni-
toring of the prices non-NFA
rice in the market amid the
depleted rice buffer stock of
the National Food Authority
(NFA) in the region.
This move came after the
mayor received information
from the NFA 11 that rice buff-
er stock for Davao Region is at
zero-volume situation which
is expected to be replenished
in June.
Mayor Sara said the city
government through its City
Agriculturist Office is working
closely with NFA and the De-
partment of Agriculture so that
the region would be included
in areas appropriately supplied
with NFA rice.
“While waiting, we are
closely monitoring non-NFA
rice to ensure supply and that
rice retail prices are right and
within what’s mandated by
law,” Duterte-Carpio said in a
press statement.
Duterte-Carpio said NFA
and the NFA Council are the
offices that study the coun-
try’s rice situation and they are
tasked to come up with appro-
priate actions to address sup-
ply and availability of rice for
the Filipinos.
The NFA Council, which is
chaired by Cabinet Secretary
Leoncio Evasco Jr, is a policy-
making body composed of
representatives from govern-
ment agencies, financial insti-
tutions, representatives from
private sector and the farmers.
It was created under Presiden-
tial Decree No. 1770 to ensure
food security and stabilize
supply and prices of cereals.

rice retailers have voiced con-
cerns over the depleting sup-
ply of NFA rice in the markets.
This even prompted Presi-
dent Rodrigo Duterte to meet
rice traders last week and com-
mitted to give at least 700,000
sacks of rice to replenish the
NFA stocks sold at P38 per
kilo to be sold at P39 per kilo.
On Friday, Presidential
Spokesperson Harry Roque
said in a press statement that
the President expressed his
intent to place the NFA under
the Office of the President.

THE app of ridesharing firm
Uber will continue to be active
until April 15 as Grab Philip-
pines has agreed to subsidize
its costs.
Grab Philippines said it will
comply with the order of the
Philippine Competition Com-
mission (PCC) to maintain
the independent business op-
erations of Uber and Grab for
the duration of its motu propio
review of the acquisition of
Uber’s Southeast Asia opera-
tions.
“With respect to the interim
measures imposed by the Com-
mission, the Commission has
required the parties to main-
tain independent business op-
erations and separate operation
of the ride-hailing platforms,
which means that the Uber app
should be kept open, through-
out the review period, but left
it to the parties to agree on
cost allocation. Grab believes
that this measure increases the
transaction costs of the parties,
contrary to the spirit and ration-
ale of interim measures. Grab
intends to discuss this matter
with the PCC,” Grab Philip-
pines Country Head Brian Cu
said in a statement Monday.

Not only Tawi-tawi will

under the BBL, she said.
Sahali also emphasized
provisions of the BBL will
strengthen Tawi-tawi since
they project the island as the
gateway for the ASEAN eco-

set to enact the BBL later this
March.
The BBL is the legal docu-
ment that operationalizes the
peace agreements between
the government and the Moro
fronts in Mindanao. (With report

He said it is still early to assess
the government’s fiscal position
right now but need to do it by
June to check if Package 1-b has
the chance to be approved middle

From page 1
The 2017 joint venture agree-
ment between COWD and
the Manny V. Pangilinan-con-
trolled Metro Pacific Water
Investments Corp. provides that
60 days after Cobi is registered
with the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, the firm is
supposed to deliver 60 million
liters or 60 thousand cubic
meters per day to COWD. But
until now, Cobi can only deliver
40 million liters or 40 thousand
cubic meters a day.
Cobi, which is 95-percent
owned by Metro Pacific, was
reportedly registered with the
SEC in late October 2017.
COWD has a five-percent stake
in Cobi.
COWD chairman Eduardo
Montalvan said he and Batar
would bring the concern to the
Cobi board when its directors
meet this month. Montalvan
and the COWD manager sit in
the Cobi board.
Earlier, the bulk water sup-
plier has asked for time to sup-
ply 60 thousand cubic meters
a day citing that facilities of
Rio Verde Water Consortium
Inc. were damaged by storm
“Vinta” late last year, said
Montalvan.
Batar confirmed this, point-
ing out that the “delay in the im-
plementation [is] because of the
impact of typhoon ‘Vinta’...”
Rio Verde directly supplied
treated water to COWD until
the two firms terminated their
decade-old contract in De-
cember. Now, Cobi is buying
treated water from Rio Verde
at a much higher price -- from
P10.45 per cubic meter to P16.
The increased cost, however,
has so far been absorbed by
COWD.

Serving people for 29 years
COWD officials brushed
aside the warning that the Pan-
gilinan group could be charged
with breach of contract because
of the undersupply.
“Walay breach of con-
tract... kay force majeure man
gud tungod sa Vinta,” said
Montalvan.
Batar said a case for breach
of contract is unlikely “because
there was prior info from them.”
But he said the bulk water sup-
plier could suffer “monetary
penalties” for the undersupply
“based on a standard formula.”
The 2017 agreement pro-
vides that Cobi would only
supply 20 million liters a day
if COWD and Rio Verde did
not terminate their contract.
With the contract termination
last year, Cobi was supposed
to deliver 60 million to COWD
daily.
But although COWD only
pays Cobi for what has been
delivered, the water shortage
in some parts of the city has
become evident.
Batar said the undersupply
and the so-called non-revenue
water or water wasted because
of leaks are factors why the
supply of tap water is not 24
hours in some areas.
Batar said the Pangilinan
group has committed to deliver
80 million liters a day by the
middle of the year.
The agreement provides
that a year after Cobi is formed,
it is supposed to deliver 20
million liters more per day
on top of the supposed daily
supply of 60 million liters, in
order to boost the supply in
eastern areas via a pipeline
from Taguanao to COWD’s
Camaman-an reservoir. This is
seen to benefit Camaman-an,
the city proper, Lapasan and
Gusa, among others.
But with the inability of
Cobi to deliver 60 million liters
a day, Councilor Lao said he
doubts if the firm could further
increase the supply.
Lao earlier expressed
doubts that Cobi has the ca-
pability to deliver the volume
of water that it is supposed to
deliver based on the contract,
pointing out that Metro Pacif-
ic-Cobi came into the picture
without putting in place its own
facilities.
He called on the COWD to
act on the continuing shortfall
in the water supply.
Lao said the undersup-
ply explains the water short-
age in the city. He said the
COWD-Metro Pacific contract
was “disadvantageous” to the
city’s water consumers from
the very start.
“In the first place, wala
silay kaugalingong (Metro
Pacific-Cobi ) facilities. Sa Rio
Verde ra gihapon sila nagkuha
ug tubig. Dili gyud sila ma-
ka-supply sa demand sa tubig
ngadto sa mga consumers,”

The fact-finding was spear-
headed by Kilusang Mag-
bubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP)
and participated in by repre-
sentatives of organizations of
farmers, indigenous people,
lawmakers, church people and
human rights advocates.
Czarina Golda Musni of

in Mindanao said the mission
“aimed to document the extent
of state-sponsored killings and
other rights abuses against
farmers and indigenous people
in Mindanao due to the inten-
sified militarization of peasant
communities and expose the
lies... that no violations were
committed under martial law.”
Among the 54 violations
that were reported by peo-
ple in the communities to the
fact-finding mission members
were alleged “extrajudicial
killings” and frustrated killings,
tortures, illegal arrests and de-
tention, filing of trumped-up
charges, threats and harass-
ments, forced surrender, and
illegal searches and seizures.
Musni said they would
submit the findings to the In-
ternational Criminal Court,
United Nations Human Rights
Committee, the international
body for special rapporteur for
indigenous peoples, and the
Senate.
She said they were able to
conduct the fact-finding mis-
sion despite the many cases
of harassment allegedly by
government troops.

Cagayan de Oro City Police
Office spokesman Supt. Mardy
Hortillosa II said Seirra, a resi-
dent of Barangay 7 who works
at the City Public Services
Office, was charged with pos-
sessing and selling suspected
methamphetamine hydrochlo-
ride or shabu.
Rimontigue, a traffic aide
from Barangay Macasandig,
was charged with possession
and use of suspected shabu.
“Sierra, selling gyud, and

trabaho,” Hortillosa said.
Carmen police commander
chief Demver Vergara said
Sierra, who once assigned as a
driver for Councilor Ian Mark
Nacaya, was in the drug list of
the Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse
Council.
Authorities seized from
him four sachets of suspected
shabu when he was caught in
downtown Cagayan de Oro.
Roads and Traffic Admin-
istration operations chief Car-
melito Deloso said he would
recommend for the dismissal
of Rimontigue who was caught
in an alleged “drug den” in
Barangay 17.
“Dili si Rimontigue ang
unang RTA member nga gi-
tangtang sa trabaho apan
daghan na ang napriso kay
nagbaligya ug paggamit sa
gidiling droga sukad pa sa
miaging katuigan,” Deloso
said.
Meanwhile, authorities ar-
rested two more suspected drug
pushers and a theft suspect here
yesterday.
Police identified the sus-
pects as Gerald Benosara, 37,
jobless, and Abni Alvarez, 37,
a vendor. Both are residents of
Zone 5, Xavier Heights, Upper
Balulang; and theft suspect
Michael Malubay, 21, of Sitio
St. John, Puntod.
Benosara and Alvarez were
arrested during a buy-and-bust
operation along Kauswagan
highway. Police confiscat-
ed three sachets of suspected
shabu.
Malubay was handcuffed
due to a warrant of arrest for
theft issued by Judge Evelyn
Neri.

lan police headed by SPO4

Meanwhile, Pantoja denied
that the local government has
been harassing evacuees from
Marawi.
Pantoja explained that the
Bayanihan Village was not built
for evacuees from war-torn
Marawi but for people who
survived “Sendong.”
Earlier, Mayor Celso Re-
gencia said in a speech in Ti-
banga that he did not want the
Bayanihan Village “to become
a little Marawi.”
Regencia said people living
there must follow rules and not
scatter their garbage just about
anywhere.

Javierto said the suspects
took from the cashier P6,800.
But before they fled, one of
them allegedly stabbed the
store’s guard, Rodney Obe-
dencio, with a piece of rebar.
Obedencio was rushed
to the Northern Mindanao
Medical Center because of
a neck wound as a result of
the attack.
Police subsequently ar-
rested the suspects near the
erstwhile post office in Di-
visoria.
