EDITORYAL KASAMBAHAY LAW Ang bagong Kasambahay Law ay katatapos lamang maipasa at malagdaan ang implementasyon nito. Marami pang mga dapat malaman ang mga kasambahay at mga employer tungkol sa nasabing batas, dahil nakakalito ang ilang batas na nakasaad doon. Maraming pabor para sa kapakanan ng kasambahay subalit meron din namang disadvantage sa mga kasamabahay ang nasabing batas. Isa na rito ang nagtatakda ng P2,500.00 piso na buwanang pasahod para sa isaang kasambahay sa mga pangunahing bayan at siyudad. Samantalang may mga kasambahay na sumusuweldo ng higit na mas mataas bago pa magawa ang nasabing batas. Ang ilan sa kanila’y sumasahod na ng 5,000.00 pesos. Paano ang gagawin dito? siyempre, para sa isang employer, ang susundin ay ang nakasaad sa batas, dahil ito ang pabor sa kanya. Bago sana ginawa ang mga batas na ito dapat ay nagsaliksik ng mabuti ang nag-sponsor ng nasabing batas upang makita ng tama ang senaryo. Ibig bang sabihin nito kung ang kasambahay ay kumikita ng P4,500.00 kada buwan ay puwede niya itong ibaba ng P2,500.00 dahil ito ang ini-atas ng bagong batas para sa kasambahay. Pabor ito sa mga kasambahay na may mababang sahod at sa mga katulong na halos ay hindi na pinapasahod ng kanilang mga amo. Maganda din ang batas na ito, dahil sila ay magkakaroon ng kasiguruhan sa SSS, PhilHealth at Pag-ibig na dati rati ay boluntaryo lamang ang paghuhulog ng isang kasambahay. Abangan ang ating mga ilalabas na isyu mula ngayon at sa mga susunod na panahon, para sa kapakanan ng mga amo at ng mga kasambahay. Dahil maglalabas kami lagi ng update hinggil dito, upang maunawaan ng bawat panig ang kanilang mga karapatan. Isa pa rin ang TESDA sa magbibigay ng mga trainings upang maging propesyunal ang ating mga kasambahay.Maganda ang hakbang ng TESDA. Sususbukan nating himay-himayin upang maunawaan ng lahat.

SALAMAT SA INYO May mga proyektong bayan ngayon ang pamahalaan tulad ng kalsada. Ginawa ito upang mapaganda ang mga baku-bakong lansangan. Sana matapos na ang curing period na isang buwan upang madaanan na ito. Ang mga kontratista naman sana, linisin ang mga kalat nila. Hakutin ang mga malalaking tipak na bato o semento upang hindi sagabal sa trapiko at pedestrian. Tungkulin yan ng kontratista pagkatapos ng kontrata. ooo000ooo Panahon na naman ng bakasyon ng mga mag-aaral. Natala sa kasaysayan na laganap ang kagat ng asong may rabies at lamok na may dengue. Sa mga magulang pag-ingatan ang inyong mga maliliit na anak sa panahon ng bakasyon. ooo000ooo Sayang ang pork barrel na pinagsamantalahan lamang ng mga pulitiko kasabwat ang ilang NGO’s. Sabi ng isang kanta ni Gary Granada sa album na “Mga Awit ni Goryo,” may linya ang kanta na “Yumayaman si Senador, Congressman at Governor by serving the poor.” Tila alam na ni Goryo na ninanakaw ang pork barrel fund noon pa man. Pero kaylan lang nabulgar. Kita n’yo naman karamihan sa mga pulitiko, di naman masyadong mayaman. Pero nang lumabas na ito sa gobyerno, bilyonaryo na. Gusto pa ngang ibigay sa anak o kapatid ang puwesto. ooo000ooo Sino na ba ang Info Officer ng NOLCOM? Mukhang malamya. Di tulad noong panahon ni Major Rhodora Paat pag nagimbita ng Media, sinusundo sa gate ng sasakyan at inihahatid pa. Ngayon medyo malagihay at kulang sa impormasyon o koordinasyon. Nag-imbita ng mga Media, di naman pinapasok ng guwardiya dahil walang koordinasyon ang Info-Officer sa gate. Ano ba ‘yan? ooo000ooo Sabi ng isang retired Army Colonel, “ang dami ngayon criminal, panoorin n’yo sa mga news sa telebisyon, kasi dumadami ang mga pulis, at karamihan sa kanila sila na ang mga suspects. Napunta kami noong nakalipas na buwan sa Isabela, nakita mismo natin na kalbo na ang bundok, ngayon ay tinataniman na lamang ng mga mais. Kaya madalas na ang landslide doon. Noong nakalipas na linggo, napunta naman kami ni Abel Pablo sa Baler at Dipaculao, Aurora dahil sa Board Meeting ng Central Luzon Media Association. Gumaganda ang turismo sa Baler kumpara noong five years ago nang magtungo kami doon. Ngayon marami ng hotels at mga restaurants. Marami na ring nagtuturo ng water skateboarding at may paaralan pa kamo. Noong unang mga punta namin ang tinutulugan namin ay simpleng kubong pawid na nakatayo sa tabing dagat, ngayon ay mga hotels na ang nakatayo. At pag nagtungo kayo doon maganda ang kalsada na sakop ng Aurora Province maliban sa daraanan mong lugar na sakop ng ibang probinsiya na napabayaan. Di pinabayaan ng mga Angara ang kalsada ng Aurora. Hindi naman siguro dahil sa kanilang bus na Genesis ang bumibiyahe doon. ooo000ooo Maraming slamat sa mga unang sponsors ng Banat 16 years edition.

Nauwi sa kulungan ang isang residente ng Barangay Laoang, Tarlac City matapos itong ireklamo ng isang high school na estudyante ng tangkang panggagahasa. Kinilala ng pulisya ang suspek na si Gregorio Facun Lagonero, Jr. 21 anyos, na kabarangay ng biktima. Batay sa imbestigasyon ng otoridad, natutulog ang suspek kasama ang kanyang mga kapatid sa loob ng kanilang kuwarto nang magising ito dahil sa panghimas ng suspek sa maseselang bahagi ng kanyang katawan. Tinangka ng biktima na sumigaw subalit agad na tinakpan ng suspek ang bibig nito at tumakas sa likod na bahagi ng bahay. Nagsumbong ang biktima sa kanyang ama na siyang nagsumbong sa mga otoridad. Sa pagsisiyasat ng pulisya dumaan ang suspek sa harapan ng bahay at puwersahang binuksan ang pinto nito habang natutulog ang biktima. Sa interogasyon, ikinaila ng suspek ang tunay niyang edad, sinabi nitong 17 anyos lamang siya. Subalit pinagkanulo siya nang dumating ang kanyang ina na nagsabi ng tunay niyang edad na 21 anyos.

CENTRAL LZUON MEDIA IN BALER AURORA OPLAN BAKAL Police operatives conducting Oplan Bakal recovered a firearm inside a rest room of a bar in Tarlac City on Sunday. A report submitted to Central Luzon Police Regional Director, Chief Supt. Edgardo Ladao, said the operatives were implementing Oplan Bakal at the Apung Mori Video Bar in Barangay Tibag, Tarlac City at about 1 a.m. when an alert police officer discovered an improvised caliber 22 revolver with live ammunition inside the restroom of the said establishment. Police said the operatives were about to leave the bar after an initial and futile search of the customers when one of them went to the rest room and saw the handgun at the left corner. But the customers have already paid their bills and left the place. The report said the operatives chased the costumers but to no avail. The police just theorized that one of the customers owned the handgun left inside the restroom to avoid getting caught for illegal possession of firearm. The gun was brought to the Tarlac City Police Station 5 for investigation and proper disposition.
