AGUIO CITY Voters got a taste of the sizzling and colorful 2016 elections as candidates flock to the offices of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and tender their applications to become servants of the nation.

After the five-day filing of certificates of candidacy, the national political arena saw 130 candidates apply for the Presidential seat, 19 for Vice President, and 172 aspire for a seat in the Senate.

In North Luzon, local politicians, now gearing up for the campaign season, have begun chanting their battle cries with the filing of their COCs. LA UNION For former La Union board member Henry A. Bacurnay Jr., who filed for gubernatorial position on Tuesday, it would be a David-against-Goliath battle between him and the Ortega clan. Leading his supporters for a symbolic march, Bacurnay or “BAC” which also stands for his tagline “Be A Change” carried with him a slingshot which, he said, shows that he is ready to fight.

La Union is also anticipating the local political battle as the Ortega clan clashes against each other in key positions in the province.

Outgoing San Fernando City Mayor Pablo C. Ortega and his nephew Ex-Officio Board Member Manuel Victor “Mannix” R. Ortega Jr. both filed their COCs for the first district representative on October 12 at the provincial office of the Comelec.

At the city mayor level, Rep. Victor Francisco C. Ortega slid down to the mayoralty post after serving the public for three consecutive terms, and also being a lone and unopposed candidate during the 2013 elections.

AB UK CITY, KALINGA - Bilang bahagi ng anim na buwang exchange study program, pupunta sa South Korea ang 34 na nagtapos ng kursong Bachelor of Science in Agriculture na tubong Kalinga.

Ito ay kinumpirma ni dating Kalinga Apayao State College (KASC) president Eduardo Bagtang.

Ayon kay Bagtang, sasailalim sa pagsasanay pang-agrikultura ang mga nasabing partisipante.

“The training aims to develop agriculture youth experts who would serve as catalysts of the sector when they go back to their own municipalities,” dagdag niya.

Ang pagsasanay ay maguumpisa dapat noong Setyembre ngunit na-delay dahil sa pagproseso ng mga passport at visa. Nakatakdang umalis ang mga partisipante ngayong buwan.

“Among the conditions of the exchange study is the assurance of the sending country that all candidates must return home after the training,” aniya.

Isa rin sa mga delegado ng Pilipinas si Bagtang sa International Conference on Transnational Education na gaganapin sa Paris at iisponsoran ng European Quality Assurance Network sa ika-3 ng Nobyembre.

LUNGSOD NG BAGUIO - Upang maisulong ang ecol ogi cal agriculture sa bansa na maging pangunahing plataporma ng susunod na pangulo ng Pilipinas ay nagsagawa ng photo pledge na tinaguriang #IamHampasLupa noong ika-10 ng Oktubre ng umaga sa Our lady of Atonement, Baguio Cathedral.

Dinaluhan ito ng Regional Young People’s Forum on Food, Nutrition and Agriculture in Baguio City kasama ang ilang magsasaka ng Benguet State University.

Sinabi ni Vigie BenosaLlorin, Food and Ecological Agriculture Campaigner ng Greenpeace Southeast AsiaPhilippines, “Muling inilalapit natin itong kampanya ng magsasaka sa ating gobyerno at sa magiging bagong pangulo sa susunod na taon 2016.”

Aniya, pinagtulungang mabuo ang naturang aktibidad sa pakikipagtulungan ng Azotea Greens, Cordillera Organic Agriculture Research and Development Center, BSU, Cordillera Organic Producers Association, Diocese of Baguio, Peoples Initiative for Learning Community, Louisan Environmental Management

Committee, Saint Louis University at Sigma Kappa Pi Fraternity.

“Ang mga layunin ng #IamHampasLupa ay imobilize ang mga kabataan para sila mismo ang magsulong ng isyu ng food, ecological agriculture, farming farmers nais natin maintindihan ng mga bata at ma appreciate nila yun kanilang importanteng role sa pagsulong ng mga programang ito para tangkilikin at tanggapin at gawin plataporma ng gobyerno sa susunod na presidente ng Pilipinas,” ani Llorin.

“Hinihimok natin ang mga young people dahil sila ang future ng food natin, kung hindi natin gagawin ang pagbago ng kanilang mindset sa pagkain ay magkakaroon ng problema ang ating food security. Yung mga kabataan kasi ngayon ay mababa na ang appreciation sa agriculture, hindi na nila na appreciate na ang pagkain ay malaking bahagi ng agrikultura,” aniya. “ K a i l a n ga n g pagtulungan ng bawat isa na maitindig ang kabataan para ma-appreciate na ang farmers ay kailangang suportahan at hindi ikinakahiya sa pamamagitan na rin na tulungan sila na maisulong ang pagbili ng local crops na mula sa mga magsasaka.”

Ginang na Ibaloi, isa sa 130 naghahangad sa pagka-pangulo LUNGSOD NG BAGUIO - Bilang parte ng demokrasya ng bansa, naghain ng aplikasyon sa pagka-Pangulo ng bansa sa 2016 ang isang Ibaloi na tagapangalaga ng bahay sa unang araw ng pagsusumite ng certificate of candidacy (COC) sa Comelec noong ika-12 ng Oktubre.

Sa pagbubukas ng tanggapan ng Comelec, ika8 ng umaga, ay isa sa pinakamaagang nag-file ng COC si Paula Sagayo, ang pinakaunang Cordilleran na naghangad sa posisyon ng Presidente.

Hindi tinanggap ng Comelec-Baguio ang COC ni Sagayo at inirekemondang

mag-file sa Comelec-Maynila dahil hindi mandato ng ahensiya ang mga kandidato para sa nasabing posisyon.

Ayon kay Sagayo, mayroon na siyang Bise Presidente at 12 Senador at nangakong pupunta siya sa Maynila upang iapila ang COC. “I have to talk to my ticket mates who are at the local public utility jeepney staging station along Lakandula Street,” saad niya.

Sa pagtatapos ng limang araw na pagpipila ng COC ay umabot sa 130 ang mga kandidatong nais maluklok bilang Presidente ng Pilipinas. Art Dumlao/ KTabas / ABN

Higit 3M, makiisa sa Red Cross AMIANAN POLICE PATROL Humanitarian Run Estudyante, nasalisihan Ni: Maureen Tulay LUNGSOD NG BAGUIO - Isang malawakang pagtakbo ang isasagawa ng Philippine National Red Cross sa buong bansa sa darating na ika-13 ng Disyembre. Ito ay isang simultaneous run sa Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao.

Ang mga nasabing pigura ay binigay ng national headquarters na binase sa 2.5 porsyento sa kabuuang bilang ng population ng isang lugar.

Ayon kay Joseph Arboleda, MVR3 project manager ng Phillipine Red

Cross, sa unang pag-endorso sa nasabing programa ay umabot sa isang milyon ang nakiisa, at sa pangalawang pagtakbo na ginanap noong 2013, may 1.4M ang sumali.

“Inaanyayahan din namin ang mga senior citizen na sumali sa Red Cross Humanitarian Run, pero syempre maglalakad lang sila, iikot lang sa Lake Drive,” pahayag ni Anastacia Tamayo, Chapter Administrator ng Baguio Red Cross.

Pinapayagan umano ng Red Cross ang mga politiko na nais nais makiisa o mag-sponsor kung ang adhikain nila ay tumulong, maaari silang mabanggit upang pasalamatan sa pakikiisa at pagtulong sa programa ngunit if they will ask to have a speech na may “sa darating na eleksyon wag kalilimutan,” ay ito ang ipinagbabawal.

Ayon kay Dr. Genna Hipolito, isang medical officer of Psychiatry ng Baguio General Hospital, na mahigpit na tinututulan ng mga tao na gamitin ang marijuana na gamot sa naturang sakit dahil sa wala pa umanong masusing pagaaral na nakakagamot ang halaman sa kahit na anong uri ng sakit.

abuti naman at nagkalakas na ng loob si Mayor Mauricio Domogan na iutos na tanggalin na ang mga sasakyang nakaparada sa mga pangunahing lansangan sa lungsod. Ang mga sasakyang ito ay malaking sagabal at nagdaragdag ng matinding trapiko at matagal nang panahong hindi ito pinapansin at binibigyan ng aksiyon, at ngayon nga ay iniutos ni mayor na pagtatanggalin na ang mga ito at pangungunahan ito nina acting city police director Supt. Rolando Miranda at traffic management chief Supt. Evelio Degay.

Kahit pa ang ilang sasakyang araw-araw na nakaparada ay pag-aari ng isang maimpluwensiya at mayamang negosyante sa lungsod at mga pampasaherong jeepney na kabi-kabilang nakaparada sa mga panunahing daan sa Central Business District.

Tatanggalin na ang mga sasakyang nagpaparada sa Harrison Road at Magsaysay Avenue, sa Lower Mabini Street at mga sasakyan ng Tiongsan na nagpaparada sa Harrison Road, Magsaysay at malapit sa Supreme Hotel.

Subalit tila nakapagtataka at kahina-hinala ang “timing” ng matigas na hakbang na ito ni mayor na sana naman ay hindi totoo ang agam-agam ng mga tao na nagpapalakas dahil tatakbo na naman siyang alkalde sa ikatlong termino.

Sana noon pa ito ginawa upang hindi mapaghinalaang nagpapabango siya at kaya naman palang isagawa ito na harinawa ay hindi na naman isang ningas kugon ang aksiyong ito, sasaludo kami mayor kapag tuluyan na itong magawa at magtatagal.

Pmcjr.

SALITA NG DIYOS Purihin ninyo ang PANGINOON! Ako’y magpapasalamat sa PANGINOON ng aking buong puso, sa kapulungan ng matuwid at sa kapisanan. Dakila ang mga gawa ng PANGINOON, na pinag-aralan ng lahat na nalulugod sa mga iyon. Ang kanyang gawa ay puno ng karangalan at kamahalan, at ang kanyang katuwiran ay nananatili magpakailanman. Ginawa niyang maalala ang kanyang kahanga-hangang mga gawa, ang PANGINOON ay mahabagin at mapagbiyaya. Siya’y naglalaan ng pagkain sa mga natatakot sa kanya, lagi niyang aalalahanin ang tipan niya. Ipinaalam niya sa kanyang bayan ang kapangyarihan ng kanyang mga gawa, sa pagbibigay niya sa kanila ng mana ng mga bansa.

Ang mga gawa ng kanyang mga kamay ay matuwid at makatarungan; ang lahat niyang mga tuntunin ay mapagkakatiwalaan, ang mga iyon ay itinatag magpakailanman, ang mga iyon ay ginagawa sa katapatan at katuwiran. Siya’y nagsugo ng katubusan sa kanyang bayan; kanyang iniutos ang kanyang tipan magpakailanman. Banal at kagalang-galang ang kanyang pangalan. Ang pagkatakot sa PANGI NOON ay pasimula ng karunungan; ang lahat na nagsisigawa nito ay may mabuting kaunawaan. Ang kanyang kapurihan ay mananatili magpakailanman!

Habang tumatagal ay nagiging kakatwa at katawatawa ang halalan sa Pilipinas.

Totoo na may pundamental na karapatan ang bawat Pilipino lalo na kung nagnanais ang isa na tumakbo sa isang pampublikong posisyon sa ilalim ng proseso ng halalan, basta nakakamit ang mga tagubilin at panuntunan.

Subalit tila nababastos na yata ang demokrasya sa paghahain ng kandidatura ng mga taong ayaw naman nating tawaran ang kakayahan pero tila walang delikadesa at hindi man lang mag-isip ng maraming beses bago tumakbo. Imbes na tutok ang mga botante sa mga may “mas karapatang” tumakbo ay nagiging panggulo lamang sila. Ito sana ang bigyan pansin ng electoral tribunal at ng mga

mambabatas na ayusin at himayin ng mabuti ang mga panuntunan at batas ukol sa mga kandidato. Ang proseso ng halalan ay isang malaking sangkap nang mas mabuting pamamahala, kapag nailuklok ang mga karapatdapat sa posisyon. Eh kung sa pagtanggap pa lamang ng Comelec sa mga kakandidatong wala namang “K” ay talagang walang patutunguhan at hindi na makakaahon ang Pilipinas dahil sa umpisa pa lamang ay nabastos na ang proseso.

Sana mabigyan pansin ito. **************** Pagtanggal sa mga nakaparadang sasakyan sa kalsada, dapat lang.

Maganda ang kautusan ni Mayor Mauricio Domogan na tanggalin ang mga nakaparadang sasakyan sa mga pangunahing daan

subalit dapat ay pagtuunan din ng pansin ang mga ibang pampasaherong jeepney na nagpaparada sa mga ibang daan sa CBD. Napapansing halos sakupin na nila ang kahabaan ng mga daan na kitang-kitang nagpapalala sa trapiko lalo na sa mga “rush hour”. Magkaroon naman sana ng regulasyon sa kung ilan lamang na jeepney ang pwedeng magparada sa lansangan dahil halos wala ng paradahan ang mga umuupa sa mga establisimyento na mas may prioridad sanang magparada sa harap nito. Sino ba ang nakakasakop dito?

Magkaroon naman sana ng konsiderasyon ang mga asosasyon ng mga pampasaherong jeepney.

Mukhang ipinapakita ng mga ito na sila nga ang hari ng daan. Pwede namang pagusapan yan di ba?

Fighting the drug menace

While our politicians are busy scrambling for positions in the government the looming shadow of the rampant proliferation of illegal drugs in the country, particularly ‘shabu’ has seemingly reached gargantuan proportions.

No less than the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) has bared that more than more than 8,000 barangays in the country are affected by the drug menace, and that Metro Manila, which has around 1,700 barangays, has nine out of ten barangays already plagued by illegal drugs.

This is a very serious and alarming situation that if

left unchecked will certainly lead to a worsening peace and order situation in the country’s capital.

Just very recently, Quezon City police authorities raided several drug dens in their area of jurisdiction and confiscated shabu and other drug paraphernalia as well as firearms, and arrested several alleged drug users and dealers. Obviously this is just the tip of the iceberg considering the quantity of shabu being confiscated by the authorities valued in the millions. That so much shabu is being transported and distributed in the country only goes to show how much contempt these illegal drugs distributors have of our laws and government.

Something must be done about it already, and quick, lest the entire country falls into the category similar

to what is now the situation in Mexico.

The facility in the entry of drugs into the country is one of the most difficult problems to solve and no less than the recognized drug zcar of the nation, Senator Vicente Sotto III admitted that it is because of the porous borders of the archipelago which allows illegal drugs such as shabu to be easily smuggled into the country. In his speech during the 111th CBCP Plenary Assembly in which he cited geography as one of the profile of vulnerabilities in the campaign to eradicate illegal drugs he said,”...the Philippines is at the cross road between the Asian drugproducing and exporting countries and the Pacific drug-dependent countries. It is therefore strategically located making it vulnerable to transnational criminal SIDEGLANCE on page 8

PEOPLE’S CORNER Updates on Senior High Program | By: Adelaida C. Marquez The K-12 Basic Education Program is a flagship of the Department of Education which introduces additional two years of Senior High School-Grades 11-12.

With K-12, learners are equipped to be holistically developed Filipinos with 21st century skills such as communication, collaborative, critical and creative thinking skills.

The full implementation of Senior high school will be school year 2015-2016, the department shall ensure that all grade 10 completers including those who are outside formal education system shall be enrolled in the Senior High School. DepEd shall assist Senior High School entrants all over the country.

Despite many protest and debatable issues regarding the implementation of K-12 curriculum, the Department of Education is issuing and conducting various orientation activities, career fairs and awareness campaign regarding the Senior High Program.

The following steps are done to help in the successful implementation of the senior high program next school year. First, grade 10 advisers are given modules to be used during their weekly homeroom guidance. Through this module, grade 10 students are informed well towards right decision making regarding their choice of track and promote the awareness and importance of choosing a track that suits their skills and interest that matches the available resources and needs of the society.

Second, a career guidance week was conducted in schools to intensify the conduct of awareness campaigns, career fairs and orientation activities on the Senior High Program.

This was also discussed during the Parent-Teacher Conference and other meetings with parents, teachers, local and barangay official’s civic organizations and other stakeholders.

DepEd-Baguio City conducted the Senior High School Fair and career guidance at Baguio City National High School Auditorium last October 13, 2015.

Private and public schools gave flyers and pamphlets to grade 10 students to convince them to enrol in their school. Students asked questions regarding their choice of track to every booth they passed by.

Parents were also invited to view the exhibit and open house of schools last October 17, 2015 from 8am to 5pm at Baguio City National High School Auditorium. With this open house, parents could help their children to choose the right track when enrolling in grade 11.

Third, an online search facility shall be made accessible in computer laboratories and terminals as well as websites wherein the students and parents can browse through the menu of the schools offerings on Senior High School as well as respective program offerings.

The Department of Education, Baguio City is scheduled to have their early registration of Senior High School on October 19-23, 2015. So let us join hands together to support the K-12 program of our country. Go, go, go Senior High Program!

Animo’y napakalinis kuno, yun pala, may maitim na motibo.

Malinis kaya siya ngayon sa harap ng mga botante?

Di ba ang kinaiinisan ng mas nakararaming botante o mamamayan ay ang mga taong mapanira na wala namang ginagawang serbisyo kundi manira? ****** Nang dumating ang hinihintay na timbangan ng hangarin ng mga pulitiko, (COC Filing - Oct-12 hanggang Oct. 16), talo pa natin ang pagkaing kung ano-ano na ang halo at rekado, kahit wala ng lasa kundi pait at pakla, tamis at anghang, panis at baka mas masarap pa raw ang kaning baboy ang hilatsa. Bakit nagkaganito? Kaninong gawa? Di ba tayo rin? Tayo ang gumawa ng mga batas sa ating bansa dahil tayo ang nagluklok sa mga taong naglilok nito. Tayo ang gumawa ng paraan upang sila ang magiging diyos natin sa larangan ng serbisyo publiko. At nang mawala ang ating tiwala dahil sa kanilang pagmamalabis, sino ang may sala? Di ba tayo rin? Tayo ang nagkaisang nagtiwala at nagbigay ng mandato sa kanila tuwing eleksiyon.

Ngayon, marami ang nagsisisi. E, sinong maysala? Di ba kasama tayo sa nagpako sa krus sa sarili nating kasalukuyan at kinabukasan? Tanong: magbubunyi ba tayo ngayon dahil kumandidato ang ating manok? O, tayo’y muling nangangamba na baka muling maloko at gawing sangkalan para pagnakawan ang ating sariling kaban mula sa buwis ng bayan?

Sundot: di kaya mas marami ang magiging buwaya sa mga bayawak na umentra na sa pulitika para sa 2016 election? Daplis: sana madagdagan pa ang mga tunay na public servants na di baleng maging pulubi, makatulong lang sa bayan.

Sila ang dapat nating suportahan at ipaglaban ang kanilang mga plataporma.

Asan sila? Ikaw, ako, tayo ang nakakaalam. Huwag nating dayain ang inyong sarili, liban lang kung tapos ka ng nabili o nabenta! ****** Batobato sa langit: totoo bang parang naging sarsuela na ang eleksiyon sa bansa? Kasi nga naman sa panahon pa lang ng COC filing, sandamukal na ang mga ka-epalan o kabalbalang naganap.

Habang sinusulat ang espasyong ito, 71 na ang nagfile for president; 15 for vice president; 78 for senator, at 101 ang party list.

Ano ito? Di ba parang lantarang ginagawang laruan na ang electoral process ng bansa, tanong ng marami. Totoo ang sinasabi ng Comelec na may karapatan ang kahit sinong tumakbo o pumasok sa pulitika at magfile ng kanyang hangarin (COC).

Pero hindi lahat ay makakapasa, dagdag nila.

Sa darating na Dec. 10, ilalabas ng Comelec ang kumpletong listahan ng makakasama sa ating mga pagpipilian sa 2016 election.

Eh, papaano raw ang mga naalis at di pumasa? Natural, tiyak na babalik na naman ang mga yan sa filing ng COC o kanilang kandidatura sa mga susunod pang eleksiyon. Dating eksena sila. Ang katawa-tawa, meron pang gagamit ng mga alien kung manalo. Meron din daw sugo ng alin? Hayy buhay, sige, kinikilala ng espasyong ito ang kanilang karapatan, ngunit mas may karapatan naman tayong pumili ng karapat-dapat na manungkulan. Amen. Good luck sa lahat. Wala kaming pinangalanan upang malayo sa hinala. Ikakampanya na lang namin sina Alden, Maine, Pastillas at Bolitas, ehe, meron ba yun? Adios mi amor, ciao, mabalos!

Bagyo Ang mga kalamidad tulad ng bagyo ay parte na ng ating buhay. Hindi alam kung kailan darating o mangyayari kaya dapat lamang na lagi tayong handa at alam ang gagawin kung ito ay nananalanta na.

Mahirap gawin pero piliting maging kalmado at pairalin ang ‘presence of mind’ kung tayo ay nasa gitna ng ganitong sitwasyon.

Narito ang ilang paalala bago dumating ang bagyo ayon sa Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction: -Maghanda ng mga pagkaing hindi kinakailangang lutuin gaya ng mga de-lata at malinis na inumin.

-Ilikas ang mga hayop sa mataas na lugar.

-Anihin ang mga pananim na maaari nang anihin.

-Para sa mga mangingisda, ilikas ang mga bangka sa ligtas na lugar.

-Kung ang inyong lugar ay bahain o malapit sa dagat, maghanda ng mga dapat dalhin kung kinakailangan lumikas tulad ng damit, firstaid kit, mga pagkaing hindi madaling masira, kandila, gasera o flashlight, radyong de-baterya, lubid at iba pa.

Dapat ring tumutok sa pinakahuling balita at alamin ang warning system

sa inyong lugar..

Patibayin ang mga bahay at kung kinakailangan ay talian at bawasan ang mga sanga ng puno upang hindi makadi s gras ya.

Pulungin ang mga kasambahay at kapitbahay.

Habang may bagyo naman ay tumutok pa rin sa radyo o telebisyon para sa mga babala, o makibalita sa mga kapitbahay.

Siguraduhing may mga gamit na pang emergency na nakalagay sa plastic na hindi mababasa. Mag-ingat sa mata ng bagyo. Ito ang biglang pagtigil ng hangin at ulan at kalmado ang paligid sa isang lugar dahil ito ay hudyat na pagkaraan ng konting oras ay babalik ang

mas malakas na hangin at ulan. Manatili sa loob ng bahay pero kung kinakailangan lumikas ay siguraduhing nakapatay ang kuryente, ang tangke ng gas at nakasusi ang mga pinto.

Dapat ding alamin angpinakamalapit na evacuation center.

S iguraduhing magkakasama ang buong miyembro ng pamilya at ihanda ang bawat isa sa anumang mangyayari. Higit sa lahat ay magdasal. Magingat po tayong lahat.

Noon tuwing eleksiyon, animo kasalang napakasagrado. Kagalanggalang na proseso bilang paghahanda ng pondasyon ng ating lipunan.

Nang dahil din sa kagagawan ng pagbabago ng ugali, pagkatao at hangarin ng bawat nilalang, nawala ang moog na ating minana sa ating mga ninuno.

Pagkaraan na isumite noong Lunes sa Comelec ng buong Baguio Liberal Party, A-1 Team/Baguio Integrated Democratic Alliance (BIDA) ang kanilang mga Certificate of Candidacy, ay isinakatuparan ng grupo ang paglagda ng isang Covenant sa harap ng mga kapamilya, kamag-anak, kaibigan at mga supporters ng partido sa isinagawang salu-salu sa isang kainan dito sa Baguio.

Aliping Jr. kasama ang official line-up na sina Councilor Poppo Cosalan for vice-mayor, para konsehal na sina Councilor Joel Alangsab, Architect Mylene Yaranon, Art Aladiw, Jun Orca, Atty. Ron Perez, at Jojo Cabato. Di nakadalo sina Councilor Leandro Yangot at Rudy Paraan dahil di pa nila naisumite ang kanilang mga COCs, ngunit nangakong lalagdaan ang naturang kasunduan.

Ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na nasaksihan

natin ang isang kasunduan na nilagdaan ng buong partido upang ipamalas ang kanilang tapat na hangarin na magkaisa sa panuntunan ng partido at nangakong “walang iwanan, walang laglagan” at suportahan ang bawat isa sa ikapagtatagumpay ng buong partido.

Ipinaliwanag ni Aliping na mahalaga ang kasungduang ito upang ang bawat kandidatong kapartido ay hindi magkakanya-kanya ng kampanya at tutuparin ang panuntunan ng Partido Liberal sa buong panahon ng kampanya.

Madalas kasing maganap sa ganitong pagkakataon ay sarili lamang ng isang kandidato ang iniisip na ipanalo, kahit mapag-iwanan ang mga kapartido. Sinabi ni Aliping na siya mismo ang magpapakita sa grupo na di lamang ang kanyang reelection bid ang mahalaga bagkus ay ang tagumpay ng nakararaming kapartido anuman ang kanyang tinatakbong posisyon.

“Ang bawa’t isa ay malalaga sa aming partido,” dagdag pa ni Aliping. Kaya nilagdaan ang kasungduan ito sa harap ng dumalo sa filing of candidacy ng Liberal Party upang

USAPANG TONYING AT PABLING

hikayatin din ang lahat ng sumusuporta sa partido na makiisa sa layunin ng kasunduan at itaguyod ang lahat ng mga kandito ng partido upang makamit ang tagumpay sa darating na halalan.

Magandang palatandaan ito sakaling panindigan ng Liberal Party ang kasunduang ito, sapagkat ito na ang magiging hudyat ng tunay na pagkakaisa ng bawat kandidato at mga kaalyado ng partido na makuha ang simpatiya ng bayan.

Sa pamamagitan ng kasunduang ito, masusukat ng grupo ang loyalty, unity, teamwork at harmonious relationship, maging baguhan ka man o bihasa na, sa kalakaran ng politika sa Baguio. Dito rin makikita ang suportang ibibigay ng mga supporters upang ikampanya di lamang si Congressman Aliping Jr. kundi ang buong line-up ng Partido Liberal ng Baguio City.

Kaya inaasahan natin sa darating na simula ng kampanya sa huling mga araw ng Marso, 2016 ay panibagong stratehiya ang ipapamalas ng Baguio Liberal Party sa Baguio upang makamit ang bawat PUNTO DE VISTA sa pahina 9

Apart from this is the archipelagic condition of the Philippines which is composed of many islands and islets scattered south of Taiwan and north of Borneo and Indonesia thereby creating a very long and broken coastlines around the archipelago. It is therefore very difficult and even very expensive to effectively patrol these coastlines rendering them virtually unguarded making it vulnerable to drug trafficking and smuggling.”

In fact that issue of our borders is one if not the most problematic aspect in the war against illegal drugs because our country has simply too many points of ingress and access through which illegal drugs can be entered into the country.

And the fact that those jailed for drug offenses are capable of continuing their nefarious activity even while incarcerated simply reveals how defective our

Larry Lopez, PIA Kalinga / KTabas / ABN system is in combatting illegal drugs.

This must change and the government must institute an iron fist policy in terms of going against drug dealers and drug pushers otherwise the scourge of illegal drugs will continue to expand and become pervasive in the community.

Given what Senator Sotto knows about the present situation of illegal drugs in the country this should compel him to file measures such as the return of the death penalty for drug pushers and drug dealers if only to reduce the number of convicted drug offenders who continue to sell drugs even within the confines of the prison.

This is a wake-up call that needs serious consideration before it becomes too late.

1. Plaintiff is legal of age, widow, a Filipino citizen and with residence and postal address at No. 88 Scout Barrio, Baguio City.

2. Defendants SANDRA LAYAO, DOMINIC LAYAO, and VICENTE LAYAO are all of legal ages, Filipino citizens, and with residence and postal address at No. 86 Scout Barrio, Baguio City where they may be served with summons and other processes of the Honorable Court.

3. Plaintiff is one of the beneficial users of Lot 4, Blk. 4, located along Scout Barrio, Baguio City, covered by Transfer Certificate of Title No. T-83364 under the name of the Bases Conversion Development Authority. The said parcel of property contains an aggregate area of FOUR HUNDRED (400) SQUARE METERS with an assessed value of Php 7, 392.00, by virtue of a sale between the plaintiff and Florentina Ceba. x x 4. In 2001, Florentina Ceba, then the beneficial user of the above-mentioned property, sold to the Plaintiff a portion of the property covering an area of TWO HUNDRED (200) SQUARE METERS, more or less. This sale was formalized by virtue of a Waiver of Rights executed in favor of the Plaintiff. x x x x 5. Since the acquisition of the same in 2001, the Plaintiff has been in open and continuous possession of that portion waived to her, and has consistently been paying for the real property taxes due to the portion conveyed to her. x x x 6. Found on the portion of the subject lot which belonged to Florentina Ceba is a house previously owned and occupied by latter.

7. Sometime in October 2006, the defendants acquired from Florentina Ceba the remaining portion of the 400 squaremeter lot which she occupied, including the house erected thereat. The said portion of the lot was transferred to the defendants by virtue of a Waiver of Rights.

8. Sometime in November 2006, the defendants after acquiring the portion of Ceba, caused the survey of the entire property, including the portion which was already acquired by the plaintiff as early as 2001. The said survey was done without the knowledge and consent of the plaintiff, being the co-owner and one of the beneficial users of Lot 4.

Moreover, also without the consent of the plaintiff, the defendants caused the construction of a driveway on the portion originally conveyed by Ceba to the plaintiff, much to her surprise and detriment.

9. The defendants knew for a fact that the plaintiff is one of the beneficial users of the subject lot. They also knew that the portion where they constructed the driveway is part of the portion belonging to and in the possession of the plaintiff. xxx 10.

As a consequence of the illegal construction of the driveway on the portion belonging to the plaintiff, the only portion left for the plaintiff is a mere 170 square meters, a far cry from the original 200 square meters conveyed to her.

11. The survey (x x x) revealed that the defendants unlawfully encroached on the portion belonging to the plaintiff by the construction of a driveway therein. Despite the protest of the plaintiff of the construction of a driveway, the defendants still had their way and successfully built the same.

12. It was only discovered later on that the defendants anchored their right to construct a driveway on an approved survey plan which was prepared without the knowledge and consent of the plaintiff, thereby depriving the plaintiff of the possession and enjoyment of the land that she purchased.

13. The approved survey plan of the defendants did not reflect the original/existing road-right-of-way on the northern portion of Lot 4, which is the original right-right-of-way of the previous owner that leads to the doorstep of the house.

The survey reflected the driveway on the southern portion of Lot 4 which leads to the kitchen or back portion of the house previously owned by Ceba. x x x 14. At the instance of the plaintiff, defendants were summoned by the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Scout Barrio Barangay to appear at the meeting set to discuss the matter of returning the encroached area to the plaintiff.

15. However, the parties were not able to settle the matter amicably. Thus, a Certificate to File Action was issued by the Office of the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Scout Barrio Barangay, Baguio City. x x x 16. The survey plan which the defendants based the construction of the driveway and subsequent possession of the portion thereof was subsequently cancelled by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Regional Technical Director for Lands based on the ground that the plaintiff had no conformity to the subdivision made being a co-owner of the property. x x x 17. Despite the cancellation of the survey where the defendants anchored their claim, and despite repeated verbal demands and pleas of the plaintiff to remove the driveway built thereon, the former continuously refuse to heed the demands of the latter.

18. Because of the defendants’ wanton disregard for the proprietary right of the plaintiff over the said parcel of land, the plaintiff is deprived of possession and beneficial use of the encroached area. Being the beneficial user thereof (x x x), she is entitled to possess the same to the exclusion of the defendants who have no right to the same, since the portion where they constructed the driveway has already been conveyed to the plaintiff prior to its construction and is in no way part of the portion that the defendants purchased from Ceba.

19. For the unlawful use of the encroached area, defendants should be made to pay the amount of One Thousand Pesos (Php1, 000.00) per month as fair rental from November 2006 when the driveway was built, until the encroached premises is finally vacated; 20. The plaintiff, in order to protect her rights over the encroached portion of her property, was constrained to engage the services of the undersigned at an agreed attorney’s fees of Forty Thousand Pesos (Php40, 000.00) and One Thousand Five Hundred Pesos (Php1, 500.00) per court appearance, for which the defendants should be ordered to pay.

P R A YE R WHEREFORE, all premises duly considered, it is most respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that after due notice and hearing, judgment be rendered in favor of the plaintiff and against defendants. Ordering the latter: a. To remove the driveway that has encroached on the property of the plaintiff and to peacefully surrender possession of the encroached premises to the latter; b. To pay the amount of ONE THOUSAND PESOS (Php1, 000.00) per month as fair rental value of the encroached area from November 2006 until the same is finally vacated; c. To pay the amount of Forty Thousand Pesos (Php40, 000.00) and One Thousand Five Hundred Pesos (Php1, 500.00) per court appearance in relation to this case. d. To pay for the costs of suit.

All other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for.

Respectfully submitted. This 17th day of February, 2015, in the City of Baguio, Philippines.
