UNGSOD NG LUCENA – Sumugod sa tanggapan ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) ang grupo ng Gabriela ng Timog Katagalugan para manawagan sa agarang pagpapalaya kay Andrea Rosal na iligal na inaresto nitong nakaraang ika-27 ng Marso.

Si Andrea ay nasa ika-7 buwan ng kanyang pagdadalang tao, pero kahit hindi pa niya kabuwanan ay mas malamang na magluwal siya ng mas maagap. Ayon na rin sa doktor na

UCENA CITY - Once again, a big portion of Mt. San Cristobal was hit by fire which environment authorities suspect to have been deliberately done by trekkers.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Regional Executive Director Reynulfo Juan said they are still

investigating the incident amid reports from his personnel that there was a big probability of arson.

Protected Area Superintendent Sally Pangan said the fire started at the Quezon side of the mountain along “Kalbaryo ni Herodes” in Bgy. Sta. Lucia in Dolores town at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. She said it scattered upward until late evening.

Pangan said there was no

longer blaze on the afternoon of Wednesday but there was still continuing smoke in the area.

She estimated the damage in the rocky and grassland area at around 50 hectares.

Pangan said they have informed authorities of Rizal province that the fire could reach their area but they were thankful that it did not happen see MT. CRISTOBAL | p. 3

Mt. San Cristobal now covered by pilgrimage moratorium contributed by Gemi Formaran

L

UCENA CITY - Mt. San Cristobal is now included in a pilgrimage moratorium that covers the adjacent Mt. Banahaw based on a resolution passed on Wednesday by a multisectoral body tasked by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to monitor protected areas.

With the resolution hastily passed by the Protected

Area Management Board (PAMB) for Mts. Banahaw and San Cristobal Protected Landscape (MBSCBL), pilgrims and trekkers would now have to seek permits from the Protected Area Superintendent (PASU) before entering Mt. San Crtistobal, said lawyer Shiela de Leon, director for constituency building of Tanggol Kalikasan, an environment watchdog that provides legal assistance to PAMB.

Pagsasanay para sa proteksyon ng mga bata at kababaihan, isinagawa

L

ALAWIGAN NG QUEZON Nagsagawa ng unang bahagi ng pagsasanay para sa mga opisyal ng barangay ang Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) sa pamumuno ni Sonia Leyson tungkol sa proteksyon sa mga bata at kababaihan noong April 1, 2014.

Ang pagsasanay na nilahukan ng 72 opisyal ng barangay mula sa bayan ng Real at Panukulan, Quezon ay tinawag na Provincewide Seminar for Barangay Officials on CommunityBased Protection for Women and Children ay isinagawa sa Queen Margaret Hotel, Lungsod ng Lucena.

Ayon kay Sonia Leyson, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer, dahil sa dumadaming napapaulat na mga kaso ng pang-aabuso sa mga kababaihan ay pinag-aralan nila kung ano ang maaaring gawin para sa intervention at prevention.

Ayon pa kay Leyson na very alarming ang ulat ng PNP na No. 1 ang lalawigan ng Quezon sa Region IV-A

o CALABARZON na may pinakaraming kaso ng pangaabuso sa mga kababaihan.

Dahil dito, minabuti ng pamahalaang panlalawigan sa pamumuno ni Governor David “Jay-Jay” C. Suarez sa pamamagitan ng PSWDO na imbitahan ang lahat ng opisyal ng barangay para mabigyan ng sapat na kaalaman at maturuan ng mga tamang paghahawak sa mga kaso na may kinalaman sa mga bata at kababaihan.

Umaasa naman si Leyson na pagkatapos ng pagsasanay na ito ay maaactivate ang Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) na dapat nasusubaybayan ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) at sa pamamagitan ng kanilang tanggapan ay tutulungan ang mga ito na mabuo ang BCPC. Idinagdag pa ni Leyson na kabilang sa kalimitang hindi alam ng mga opisyal ng barangay ay ang tungkol sa Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) at juvenile justice and welfare act na kabilang sa tinalakay sa pagsasanay.

San Cristobal was triggered by the latest fire incident that occurred in the said mountain which started in Bgy. Sta. Lucia in Dolores town and climbed up to Laguna side in San Pablo City damaging some 50 hectares of grassland.

Similar incidents happened at the said mountain last March 18 and 19 and at Mt. Banahaw on March 19 and 20.

Juan said the public will be informed of the changes through massive information dissemination via social media and newspaper publications within five days before its implementation.

“We will do things fast, since Holy week is fast approaching. As usual, we are expecting a large volume of pilgrims and trekkers to arrive in Mt. Bahahaw”, said Juan.

Asked how PAMB can carryout the task considering that PASU has only five forest rangers manning the entry and exit points of the two mountains, Juan said they will be hiring 50 people from the adjacent villages.

He said Environment Sec. Ramon Paje has ordered the immediate release of P500, 000 to be used for the said purpose.

“With that amount, I believe we can do the job

smoothly during the whole Lenten season period”, Juan said.

The board also passed a resolution requesting Quezon Gov. David Suarez for additional funds.

Out of the P20 being collected from pilgrims and trekkers since 2004, it was learned from Pangan that PAMB has a P5 share. She said the other P5 goes to the local government units while the P10 to the barangays.

Pangan said the total PAMB from the the so-called Integrated Protected Area Fund has already reached to P1.9 million.

Asked when the funds will be finally released by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Pangan replied, “I have no idea”.

Pangan said there will be a tight evaluations on the permit applications coming from the mountain visitors before they finally have them approved.

She said the board forgot to tackle the issue on garbage disposal which according to her is the responsibility of the pilgrims and trekkers.

“We forgot to ask the board to impose additional penalties for the violators”, she said, adding that pilgrims should bring home their garbage as they leave the mountain park. ADN

De Leon said Mt. San Cristobal is also being used by some pilgrims as gateway to Mt. Banahaw.

It was De Leon who conceptualized most of the critical changes in the implementation of the moratorium before they were passed by the board through votation among its members.

During the meeting, DENR-Calabarzon Regional Executive Director Reynulfo Juan said a proposed stricter enforcement of the moratorium and implementation of additional restrictions along the two mountains were also agreed.

Juan said penalties and fines will be strictly imposed to violators of the moratorium.

The PAMB-MBSCBL resolved to impose the closure of Mt. Banahaw park from March 9, 2004 to 2009.

The closure was extended to Jan. 9, 2012. And on Feb. 16, 2012, it was again extended until 2016.

After seeking permits from PASU Sally Pangan, Juan said pilgrims will be allowed to stay in the “Multiple Use Zone” of the mountains for two days and one night only while those who will be doing research study can be allowed to enter the area and even at the “Restricted Protection Zone” area for a longer period of time.

UNGSOD NG LUCENA Upang matulungan ang ilang mga residente ng Brgy. Ibabang Iyam sa usapin ng pagpapailaw na matagal nang hinahangad ng mga ito, itutuloy na ni Mayor Roderick “Dondon” Alcala ang programang ito.

Ayon kay Mayor Dondon Alcala, halos dalawang taon na itong matagal nang pinoproblema ng ilang mga taga-Brgy. Ibabang Iyam.

Ginawa ni Mayor Alcala ang hakbang na ito dahilan sa matagal na rin aniyang hinihingian nila ng pondo ang pamahalaang panlalawigan para sa nasabing pagpapailaw ngunit hindi naman aniya ito nagbibigay.

Kung kaya naman ngayon ay naglagay na siya ng pondong nagkakahalaga ng P2 milyong piso upang masimulan na ang naturang

THE NUMBER 1 NEWSPAPER IN QUEZON PROVINCE

proyekto.

Binatikos din ni Mayor Dondon Alcala ang ginawang diumano’y pakikialam ng provincial government tulad ng paglalagay ng pondo sa nabanggit na programa na aniya ay dapat noong nakaraang dalawang taon pa ito binigyan.

Nagtataka rin aniya siya na kung bakit ngayong inuumpisahan na ng pamahalaang panglungsod ang programang ito sa nabanggit na barangay ay saka naman papasukan rin ito ng pamahalaang panlalawigan.

Ang naturang proyektong ito ay matagal nang inaasahan ng mga residente ng Brgy. Ibabang Iyam dahil na kinakailangan ito sa pangaraw-araw na pamumuhay ng mga taga rito subalit magpasa hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa ito naibibigay sa kanila at ngayon ay tila mabibigayan na ito ng katuparan dahilan

sa inisyatiba ni Mayor Dondon Alcala.

Nakiusap lamang ang alkalde sa lahat ng mga presidente ng samahan sa nabanggit na barangay na sa kaniya na lamang makipagusap ang mga ito upang mabigyan ng katugunan ang matagal na nilang problema hinggil sa pailaw.

Ayon pa sa alkalde, itutuloy niya ang programang ito at hindi lamang sa mga poste ng barangay, maging sa ilang mga kabahayan ng naninirahan dito.

Dagdag pa ni Mayor Alcala, kung kinakailangang magtipid ang pamahalaang panglungsod ay gagawin niya ito at ang lahat ng matitipid nito ay kaniyang ibibigay sa mga residente ng Brgy. Ibabang Iyam at sa lahat ng Lucenahin dahil aniya bilang mga mamamayan ng lungsod ng Lucena ay kaniya itong aalagaan at ibibigay ang mga pangangailangan ng mga ito.

ANDREA ROSAL mula sa p. 1 tumitingin kay Andrea, dahil na din ito sa stress na kanyang pinagdadaanan.

Si Andrea Rosal, 31, ay anak ni Ka Roger Rosal.

Bata pa lamang si Andrea ay biktima na silang magkapatid ng pandarahas sa kamay ng militar dahil sa pagiging NPA ng kanilang magulang. Nariyan na ang pagdukot sa kanya ng mga miyembro ng Southern Luzon Command noong 1989, upang pilitin siyang himukin na sumuko na si Ka Roger.

Ayon sa grupo, nalulungkot sila dahil sa

kabila ng panawagan ni Aquino ng kapayapaan ito naman ang direktang pagyurak sa karapatan ng kababaihan at bata.

Anila, “paano magiging posible ang kapayapaan sa kababaihan kung dahil sa kanilang mga pampulitikang paninindigan sila ay ikukulong? Gusto ba ni Aquino na maging pipi na lamang ang mga kababaihan, at kahit anong pang-aapi ng kanyang gobyerno ay sisiksik na lamang sila sa isang sulok.”

Ayon kay Reij Manalo, gawa-gawa lamang umano

ang kasong pagpatay at kidnapping na inaakusa sa kanya at wala siyang kinalaman sa mga inaakusa sa kanya ng NBI at ISAFP. Naniniwala ang GABRIELA ST sa nauna ng pahayag ni Andrea Rosal.

Kaugnay nito nanindigan ang GabrielaST na dapat ng palayain si Andrea Rosal at hindi sya dapat ikulong.

Bigyan ng atensyong medikal at ilagay sa makataong kalagayan upang maiwasan ang kumplikasyon sa kanyang pagbubuntis. ADN

CAMP BAGONG DIWA from p. 1 were all trump-up charges of kidnapping and murder.

According to GabrielaSouthern Tagalog, the condition inside Camp Bagong Diwa Female Dorm is grossly inhumane for a 7-month pregnant Andrea Rosal. One has to undergo stripped search in order to visit the female detainees. There is no proper ventilation, it is too crowded which is very unhealthy for a pregnant woman. Around 170 female inmates were detained in CBD Female Dorm, considering that the space is

just designed for less than a hundred inmates. She will not be able to walk freely because there is a very limited space, a simple exercise that she will be deprived of. Also she will be prone to communicable diseases since it is very congested.

In a statement Rjei Manalo, Secretary General of GABRIELA - Southern Tagalog posted a warning to Aquino’s government ‘We call for the immediate release of Andrea Rosal, no one should be arrested or detained for

the crimes they have never committed. She should be release for humanitarian reasons. Her health and her baby’s are at stake, if anything untoward happened to them it will be Aquino’s crime of violence against women!’

A court hearing will be held in Mauban, Quezon on the 4th of April to file a motion to dismiss her case and release her immediately.

The group once again reiterates: Free Andrea Rosal.

Release her for humanitarian reasons! ADN

MT. CRISTOBAL from p. 1 as the area connecting the province has a very intact vegetation.

On March 18 and 19, similar incident happened in the mountain along Bgy. San Cristobal in San Pablo City that ruined some 140 hectares of plantation and grassland.

It was believed to have been triggered by irresponsible honeybee collectors.

On March 19 and 20, another fire incident happened in the mystical Mt. Banahaw that damaged some 50 hectares of grassland.

Six pilgrims from La Piñas and Pasay City who illegally entered the restricted

area and believed to have been responsible for the fire incident were arrested after being rescued by the authorities.

A pilgrimage moratorium along the Mt. Banahaw mountain park has been in effect since 2004. The ban is being imposed by Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) through a resolution and being implemented by its members headed by the PASU of the (DENR) along with other law enforcement agencies.

Appropriate charges have been filed against the six pilgrims. ADN

Noong panahon ng ating mga ninuno,ang mga babae ay itinuturing na kapantay ng mga lalaki. iginagalang rin sila noon at nagtatamasa ng mga kalayaan.

Sa katunayan, nauuna sila sa lalaki sa paglalakad. Sa komunidad, nahahalat at napipili rin sila bilang pinuno. Sa mga relihiyon at ritwal, karaniwang ang mga nag-aalay sa kinikilalang diyos noon ay mga babae rin.

Noong dumating ang mga kolonyalistang Espanol, inalisan nila ng karapatan ang mga kababaihan. Dulot nito, naging mababa ang pagtingin sa kanila ng mga lalaki. Ilan sa mga manipestasyon nito ay sa pag-aaral o edukasyon. Hindi nla maaaring pag-aralan ang mga kursong panlalaki. Hiwalay ang paaralan para sa babae at lalaki. Kadalasan, sila ay nasa bahay lang parati. Higit na malala, wala silang layang makapagpahayag ng nasasaloob nila. Wala din silang pagkakataong lumahok sa halalan.

Nang dumating ang mga Amerikano, nabago ang pagtingin sa mga babae. Sa unang pagkakataon, nabigyan sila ng mga karapatan sibil at pulitikal. Nakapag-aaral na sila kasama ng mga lalaki. Naranasan din nilang bumoto sa unang pagkakataon. Higit sa lahat, maaari rin silang mahalal.

Tunay na ang ang pagwawalang-bahala at paglapastangan sa mga karapatan ng tao ay patuloy lang magdudulot ng hindi-balanseng atmospera para sa iba’t-ibang kasarian ng ating bansa na humihingi ng kagyatang pagbabago.

Lalo lang nitong itutulak ang mga mamamayang magsalita at ilabas ang kanilang mga pangamba, at higit sa lahat, ipinahayag na pinakamataas na mithiin ng mga karaniwang tao, walang iba kundi pag-asam ng paggalang sa mga batayang karapatan ng mga kababaihan, kabataan at ng bayan.

Buwan man ng Kababaihan o hindi, ipinahahayag ng Ang Diaryo Natin sa Quezon ang marubdob na pakikiisa sa iba’t-ibang sektor ng mamamayang naghahangad ng makabuluhang pagbabago at paggalang sa karapatang-pantao sa ating bansa. ADN

T

atlumpu’t pitong (37) tauhan ng Pambansang Pulisya (PNP) ang pinarangalan at binigyan ng gawad ng Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. bilang pagkilala sa namumukod-tanging katapatan nila sa tungkulin sa ginanapa nag Araw ng Parangal sa Kapulisan na idinaos sa Kampo Crame sa Lungsod ng Quezon.

Ang mga pinarangalan ay pinangunahan ni PNP Deputy Chief for Administration Deputy Director General Felipe Rojas, Jr., na pinagkalooban ng Special Service Medal. Ganito ring medalya ang iginawad kay National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Regional Director Carmelo Valmoria at Chief Superintendent Juanito Vano, na mga bahagi ng PNP Special Action Force (SAF) at Police Regional Office (PRO) IX units na buong giting na sumaklolo at nagtanggol sa nangyaring Zamboanga siege noong nakalipas na taon.

Tumanggap din ng Special Service Medal si Senior Superintendent Ronald de la Rosa sa pagdigma sa terorismo at si Senior Superintendent Teodoro Basa ng PRO VIII sa maagap na pagsaklolo sa kasaksaan ng hagupit ng napakalakas na bagyong Yolanda.

Pinagkalooban naman ng Medal of Bravery dahil sa kanilang magiting na pagtupad sa tungkulin nang nagaganap ang krisis sa Zamboangga sina Chief Inspector Reynaldo Arino at PO3 Alfredo Guinaat, Jr. ng 5th Special Action Battalion, gayundin sina Inspector Marlon Ancheta, PO3 Ismael Hussin , at PO2 Jimkristene Bagioeng ng Rapid Development Battalion.

Senior Inspector Juliuzar Asdani, Inspector Rey Tolosa, Jr., PO2 Edgardo Gamutin, at PO1 Ebba Baguinda, samantalang Medal of Merit naman ang ipinagkaloob kay SPO1 Jonathan Nodado.

Pinarangalan sila dahil sa kagitingan sa pagtupad sa tungkulin sa Zamboanga standoff.

Dahil naman sa mahalagang kontribusyon sa kampanya ng pamahalaan laban sa illegal na droga kaya binigyan ng Medalya ng Kabayanihan ng PNP sina Chief Inspector Roque Merdiaga, Jr., SPO3 Lito Pirote at PO3 Lawrence Perida.

Dahil sa puspusang pagsisikap na humantong sa pagkadakip sa pinaghahanap na umanong swindler na si Delfin Lee, Medlaya ng Kabayanihan ng PNP ang iginawad kina Chief Inspector Rafael Lero, SPO1 Dante Cabalquinto at PO3 Eugene Amoyo.

the beleaguered DA Secretary whose leadership and management style is being bombarded with criticisms almost every day by his detractors.

All the alleged lapses, be it big or small, in every agency attached to DA like the NFA had been blamed to the Secretary.

His so-called “Quezon Mafia” (Alcala boys holding key positions in the Department led by his Usec, Tony Pleta) are being accused of involvement in several anomalies which according to Kampon are all fabricated issues aimed at maligning his reputation.

Alcala describes as baseless and part of the demolition job, the criticisms being hurled against him and his boys.

Many believe that Procy is hell bent into winning the gubernatorial polls in retaliation for the humiliating defeat suffered by his son, Irvin during the 2013 polls.

Obligado daw rumesbak ang tatay!

The way we see it, Irvin is indeed his father’s young version but not a duplication. The father, in the first place, is a very humble and friendly guy with great charisma especially to the masses.

Cong Mommy is the commander-in-chief?

he much awaited May 2016 elections will take place more than two years and a half from now but Quezon voters have already been speculating this early on who will be the leading candidates for the gubernatorial derby in the cocolandia.

It is expected that 2-termer Gov JJ will be running again for his final term unless his Cong Daddy, the “real governor”, would eventually take the wheel and command him to replace her Cong Mommy in the poverty- stricken Bondoc Peninsala.

By the way, many observers say that if JJ is a 1 star general, Cong Daddy is a 3- star. I agree to that knowing that the father could not be compared to his still neophyte son in terms of connections, experience, ability, and cleverness. These traits, I believe, truly make Cong Daddy a veteran general.

Tahiran na, wika nga!

But I have no doubt that, Cong Mommy, although sick, is still the commander- in- chief in the family of generals!

Apat na basyo mula sa kalibre 45 baril ang narekober ng mga pulis sa lugar ba pinangyarihan ng pamamaril.

Sa Tiaong, Quezon naman, bumibili lamang ng isda sa isang talipapa amg biktimang si Donato Concha, vegetable dealer ng biglang sumulpot ang suspek at pimagbabaril ito ng malapitan.

Nagtamo ito ng mga tama ng bala at kaagad na isinugod sa United Candelaria Doctors Hospital.

Mabilis namang tumakas ang suspek sakay ng isang motorsiklo na hindi namukhaan dahilan sa may takip na panyo ang mukha.

13 basyo at limang slug ng kalibre baril ang nakuha ng mga pulis sa lugar na pinangyarihan ng pamamaril. ADN

GEMI A BREAK

By Gemi O. Formaran provincial post is the graduating Mark Enverga of the still depressed 1st district.

At one point, I saw Cong. Mark while performing a good job and I was impressed. He was in a basketball court playing with other young spicy solons. I was surprised knowing that the son of the weak exgovernor is energetic and a good basketball player.

Mas matikas at may tindigan pala ang anak kaysa ama! At mukhang walang hika!

That irony has left a big question Mark on my mind!

With all due respect, walang masamang nagawa sa akin si Cong. Mark! Wala din naman maganda!

Aside from Procy and Mark being top contenders, there’s no more names being talked about.

So if it is really a three- cornered battle royale, who do you think will be the last man (lalaki) standing (hindi nakaluhod)?

Speaking of being a true man, pro-Alcalas used to say that this is the edge of Procy over his would-be opponents.

Kampon, as hey say is a known man of his word who always keeps his promise. His masculinity has been tested not only by his wife. His constituents, fellow leaders and friends can attest to that.

Alcala ‘anila, kaya subok na!

Anyway, 2016 is still too far though 2015 is really fast approaching.

Dalawang Pasko na lang at tatlong Pasko ng Pagkabuhay, buhay na naman dugo ng mga botante sa Quezon sa dami ng kwarta na kakalat mula sa magkakaibang tribu ng mga kandidato Pero sa totoo lang, who ever among these three wins the fight is no big deal to me! ADN

ABRIL 7 - ABRIL 13, 2014

ASO’T PUSA mula sa p. 8 pangunahing mga nasalanta at biktima ng superbagyong Yolanda.”

Dagdag pa ng PKM sa pahayag nila na may kinalaman ang gawaing ito ng magasawa sa kanilang ginagampanang papel bilang mga consultant sa usapang pangkapayapaan.

Paglilinaw ng PKM, nakaugnay ang trabaho ng mag-asawang lider-komunista sa usapin ng “nakabinbing substantive agenda para sa isang Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms (CASER).”

CASER – big word?

Malamang. Baka sa mainstream media ay mas madaling angguluhan ang breed ng aso’t pusa. ***** Ang CASER ay yaon sanang tutukoy sa kalutasan ng ugat ng armadong tunggalian sa bansa – ang tunay na repormang agraryo at pambansang industriyalisasyon, na ayon sa PKM ay “mga usaping ayaw pag-usapan ng GPH, ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit tusong sinasabotahe ng hacienderong rehimeng Aquino ang usapang pangkapayapaan.”

Sa panig ng NDFP, noon pa nila iginigiit sa GPH na para humantong sa makabuluhang pagkakasundo ang negosasyong pangkapayapaan ay kailangang matalakay ang CASER. Mahalagang agenda sa peace talk ang CASER dahil inaaddress nito ang daan taon ng suliranin ng uring magsasaka sa kawalan ng lupangmabubungkal, na siyang ultimong dahilan kung bakit may gyera sa kanayunan ng bansa.

Ang hangarin para magkaroon ng lupa ang magpapaliwanag kung bakit ang mga maralita sa kanayunan ay nag-aarmas at siyang nagiging mga kumander at mandirigma ng NPA. Kung gayon, bakit ba hindi ito ang gawing pagkakataon para ugatin at mapag-usapan kung anong apoy ang nagpapalagablab sa mga lider-komunistang ito, sa kanilang kilusan, at sa kanilang kasapian at taga-suporta kung

kaya’t hanggang ngayon ay hindinghindi sila maapula sa pagrerebolusyon.

Dahil hindi naman maaasahan na sa ganitong konteksto dadalhin ng gubyerno ni Aquino ang pangyayari, maging ng mainstream media, nagkakaroon ng tungkulin ang sambayanan na itulak ang sentro ng usapin sa kalutasan ng tunay na pinag-ugatan.

‘Ika ni Prof. Jose Maria Sison, ang ugat ng armadong rebolusyon ay hindi nalulutas ng pangaaresto at pagbibilanggo sa mga rebolusyunaryo at/o mga lider nito. ***** Nangyari pang noong Marso 27 ay nadakip naman ang anak na babae ng namayapang Ka Roger, si Andrea Rosal na nagkataong buntis.

Ano ang kaya ang susunod na banner story ng mga pahayagan?

“Anak na buntis ni Ka Roger, naglilihi sa J.Co Donuts” ***** Pero puwera biro, medyo nanindig ang balahibo ko sa serye ng mga pagdakip. Lalo na at sa susunod na buwan, sa Abril 28 ay ika-walong taon ng pagkakaaresto at pagkakabilanggo ko.

Been there. Done that.

Binansagan din ako at ang dalawa ko pang kasamahan, pati na ang driver namin at ang kapitbahay niyang magsasabong na mga high ranking leader raw kami ng NPA sa probinsya namin.

Magtatanim daw kami ng bomba sa Mendiola sa okasyon ng Pandaigdigang Araw ng Paggawa.

‘Yun pala ay kami ang tataniman ng isang 9 mm pistol bilang ebidensya laban sa amin.

Pababagsakin daw namin ang gubyerno. Hindi ito napatunayan sa korte.

At saka mahirap magpabagsak ng gubyerno na iisa ang dala-dalang baril.

Kukulangin ang bilangguan sa Pilipinas kung ito ang nakikitang kalutasan ng gubyerno sa armadong paglaban ng mamamayan.

‘Ika nga sa amin, kailanman ay hindi mabibihag ang hangin.

Lalo na kapag tumalakas.

YOLANDA SURVIVORS from p. 8 policemen. Some of the security guards shared their drinking water with the protesters, but they still did not remove the roadblock.

The barrier forced the marchers to conduct a program instead at the intersection of Times st. and Examiner st.

Joel Abaño, a member of People Surge from Leyte, said that instead of finding help, the government is “making things even harder for them.”

Eastern Visayas is poorer after Yolanda. After their main crops consisting of coconut and some roots for food were washed out by Yolanda, and with little to no agricultural subsidy that could help them rehabilitate agriculture, their main sources of livelihood, Abaño said their people are now lacking in food. Even the 58year old farmer from Samar who was carrying the yellow cross and wearing a crown of thorns told Bulatlat.com that his family’s coconuts had died due to Yolanda, and they have no way of replacing all of it now as the family struggles just to subsist.

Amid the suffering and challenges to survival of Yolanda victims, what has the government been doing? Abaño asked during the program.

“They’re like playing a basketball game — they’re fond of passing the blame. But we continue to demand those donations and relief that were sent for us,” said Abaño.

People Surge reiterated the

rest of their demands for genuine rehabilitation.

Adding burden rather than help What hurts the typhoon survivors in Eastern Visayas is the fact that the government is doing worse than just inaction regarding the Yolanda victims’ needs – “the Aquino government is adding even more burden to what we’re already suffering after Yolanda,” Abaño said.

The statement of People Surge and their leaders who spoke at a brief program at Times St. decried the “Gang of Five,” referring to Aquino, Soliman, Roxas, Petilla, Lacson, who they say came to Eastern Visayas not to help the survivors but to grab their lands. Under the Aquino government’s supposed rehabilitation plan, Abaño said “they distributed our lands to rich businessmen like Danding Cojuangco, Henry Sy, Lucio Tan, Manny Pangilinan and other cronies who play guns with the inutile president.”

Five months after Yolanda ravaged their land and their livelihood and killed probably 10,000 people, “nothing is happening for us,” the survivors said.

Eric Labagala, 60, a member of People Surge from Samar, reiterated the common expectations that the government is supposed to help the survivors, as it is the government’s duty.

Instead, Soliman allowed the donated food to rot, hastily burying it so as not to be criticized for her selfishness, Labagala said. ADN

IDAHOT: Free Expression contributed article and graphics

by Aaron Bonette of EU Bahaghari

Recognizing May 17 as the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT), the EU Bahaghari is calling on all Organization, Establishments and individual to speak up on LGBT rights through Free Expression!

T

he International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (“IDAHO”) was created in 2004 to draw the attention of policy makers, opinion leaders, social movements, the media, and the public at large to promote a world of tolerance, respect and freedom regardless of people’s sexual orientation or gender identity. IDAHO is now celebrated in more than 120 countries across the globe in varied ways and expressions.

Free Expression Campaign While we celebrate the advancements that countries worldwide have made in recognizing the rights of LGBT people, including those of young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender

people, many still face discrimination and violence. We are distributed by the continued frequency of incidents concerning LGBT persons being harassed, humiliated, or denied entry to commercial establishments and organizations on the basis of their appearance and identity. Since 1996, more than a hundred of LGBT people have been killed. One death is on too many.

We believe that every person deserves a chance to pursue happiness and live a life without discrimination, judgement and violence. We envision a future where a people are treated equally, regardless of their sexual orientation and gnder identity (SOGI).

We hope for a Philippines that opens its doors to all people regardless of SOGI. In recognition of the progress made and the challenges ahead, the EU Bahaghari invites Organizations, c o m m e r c i a l establishments and Individual to submit support statement for the celebration of IDAHOT (posters, infographics, pictures, postcards, videos, etc) on the theme “I am a Free Expression Zone”

To create awareness of LGBT rights and the particular realities of young LGBT people, all submissions will be featured on the EU Bahaghari website and used during the EU Bahaghari and to International IDAHOT social media campaign during International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia.

Statements can be send on eubahaghari@gmail. com with subject line “Support Statement for IDHOT 2014” no later than 10 May 2014.

SPEAK UP AGAINST D I S C R I M I N AT I O N , IGNORANCE, BIGOTRY AND HATE. SPEAK UP LGBT RIGHTS. About EU BAHAGHARI The EU Bahaghari LGBT Organization is a students’ support group of individuals who care deeply about the place of a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students’ in the society. It is a group for everyone, straight and gay, who support the belief that everyone deserves the freedom to love and believes in the inherit equality of all persons regardless of a status or condition.

With openness and acceptance, we hope to achieve equal rights for everyone. ADN

H

indi. Hindi pa pumipihit ang paksa ng kolum na ito papuntang animal rights and welfare. Hindi ko rin planong magbigay ng payo kung paano wastong aalagaan ang inyong mga hayop.

Pero ganun na rin nga, tungkol ito sa kahayupan ng mga balitang naglabasan sa tri-media at internet nitong nakaraang maaresto ang mag-asawang Benito Tiamzon at Wilma Austria, mga lider ng rebolusyunaryong kilusan sa bansa.

Syempre kagimbal-gimbal ang balitang ito. At dalawang institusyon ang hindi magkamayaw kung paano pagpipyestahan ang parang bagong putahe sa hapag. (Tumabi ka muna Vhong.) ***** Ang unang naglaway siyempre ay kung sino ang nakahuli sa mga big fish, ang institusyong militar ng gubyerno ni Aquino. ‘Ika ng top brass nila, isa na naman daw tagumpay ito.

At ang pagkakadakip sa matataas na lider-komunista.ay parangal raw sa mga biktima ng karahasan ng CPPNPA. ‘Ika ni AFP chief of staff Gen. Emmanuel Bautista, “tiyak na gaganti ang NPA. Nakahanda kami.”

Wow. Parang iskrip lang ng war B-movie kung ituring niya ang gyera sa bansa.

Ang kagila-gilalas talaga ay nang buong-tapang nilang sabihin na, “Magsisuko na kayo! Hawak na namin ang lider ninyo!”

Nag-aattempt akong magpatawa.

Hindi ‘yan ang eksaktong linya nila.

Pero ang nagpaguho na ng pasensya ko mismo ay ang napakaartikulanteng kuwento ni Lt. Jim

Aris Alagao ng Central Command tungkol sa mga alagang hayop ng mag-asawang Tiamzon. Diumano ay kailangang gumastos ng P14,000 kada buwan para sa mga alagang hayop ng mag-asawa.

At marami pang side story tungkol rito. Ano ang brand ng pagkain ng aso. Ano ang ipapangalan sa pusa. Under arrest raw ba ang mga hayop na ito. Aampunin daw ng AFP at ituturing nilang parang tunay na, pet.

Ay anak ng pusa’y kuting!

Aakalain mo ba namang kakagatin ng media ang kwentong ito? ***** Ang media ang ikalawang institusyon na nakinabang sa pangyayari dahil pinatulan nilang lahat ang pahayag ng AFP. Human interest ang tawag nila riyan.

Pero people’s interest na ang nakasalang sa pagkakadakip sa matataas na lider-rebolusyunaryo sa bansa. Apat na dekada nang nagrerebolusyon ang CPP-NPA laban sa pamahalaan. Napakatagal nang labanan ng mga uri sa lipunang Pilipino.

Parang aso’t pusa.

Bakit hindi ang kalkalin ng media ay ang tunay na dahilan, ang sadyang ugat, ng labanang ito. ***** Isa sa maagap na pumalag sa pagkakadakip sa mag-asawang Tiamzon ay ang PKM o Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid, kasaping samahan ng National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).

‘Ika ng PKM, bago ang pagaresto, “gumagampan sina Kasamang Benito at Wilma ng direktang pagsisiyasat at konsultasyon sa mga magsasakang tingnan ang ASO’T PUSA | p. 6

Yolanda survivors depict their ‘sufferings’ under Aquino administation

ANILA — Uttering in Filpino, “Hail Aquino you are oppressing us, you are killing us, you turned your back on us,” a play on the prayer Hail Mary, members of People Surge and supporters held a cenaculo-inspired procession to Times street in Quezon City, the ancestral home of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. The Philippines is predominantly Catholic and cenaculo, usually performed during the Lenten season, is a play depicting the life, sufferings and death of Jesus Christ.

At the head of the procession was a survivor of typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) bearing a yellow, bloodied cross, flanked by protesters wearing the faces of

THE NUMBER 1 NEWSPAPER IN QUEZON PROVINCE

Aquino, Social Welfare Secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman, so-called rehabilitation czar Panfilo lacson, Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas.

As the procession proceeded, those portraying the five government officials took turns whipping and kicking at the survivor carrying the cross. Behind them, women in black mourning veil, carrying crosses, were praying loudly for the government to listen to the petition of Yolanda survivors.

They failed to turn left, however, toward the residence of Aquino, as they were barred by interlocked steel barriers, three police vehicles from the National Capital Region, and numerous security guards and see YOLANDA SURVIVORS | p. 7
