Gen. Eleazar lauds arrest of mayoral bet for illegal drugs

hilippine National Police (PNP) chief General Guillermo Lorenzo T Eleazar lauded the arrest of a mayoralty candidate in Midsayap, North Cotabato for alleged possession of illegal drugs on Thursday morning. Eleazar said that the arrest of Tom Nandang alias Datukon Nandang, 52, a resident of Barangay Upper Glad 1, Midsayap, North Cotabato, is proof of the PNP’s commitment to run after lawless elements, including persons aspiring for elective posts, who will act as peace spoilers during the election period. “I commend our operatives who carried out this operation for heeding to my call to monitor the illegal drugs activities of some erring candidates in order to ensure that drug money will not be used to fund their bid for the 2022 local and national elec-

tions,” Eleazar said. “This is but proof of our continuous determination to win the campaign against illegal drugs despite the serious challenge we are facing now. We will not be distracted in our determination to further cripple the operational capability of illegal drugs syndicates in the country,” he added. Nandang is running for mayor of Northern Kabuntalan town in Maguindanao. The raiding team seized from Nandang 10 medium-sized sachets of alleged shabu worth more than P5 million and a .45 caliber pistol. Currently, Nandang is under PDEA custody and will face criminal charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 and illegal possession of firearms.

Resto owners expect situation in Davao City to improve

estaurant owners are expecting that situation in Davao City will improve and the city will not slide into a stricter community quarantine classification especially that the Holiday Season is fast approaching. Restaurant Owners Association of Davao City, Inc. (RestoDC) president Benjamin Lizada told Edge Davao that with the joint efforts of the city government of Davao, the situation of the restaurant sector will improve and not slide to a stricter classification which would result in lowering of dine-in capacity or worse. “Or worse, take-out na lang in the case of restaurants.

QUESTION FROM A HOPEFUL ROMANTIC The Heart Has Its Reasons Whereof Reasons Know Nothing Of But You Must Do your Due Diligence And Check One’s Background Before You Fall In Love And Get Married By: Atty. Migs Nograles “Dear IBP,

hi po atty. tanong k po kung pwdi n po bang mag kasal ang isang tao n hiwalay n po sya s dating asawa nya ng 28 years n po slang walang kumunikasyon at may kanya kanyang kinakasama at pareho n po slang may mga anak naway po atty masagot po nyo ang tanong k god bless po sainyo. The Hopeful Romantic”

Dear Hopeful Romantic,

Although the person has been separated in fact for 28 years and have no communication with his former spouse, it does not necessarily mean that there is an automatic separation under the eyes of the law. A distinction must be made first between annulment of marriage, declaration of nullity of marriage, and legal separation. In an annulment of marriage, the law considers the marriage valid and existing until it is annulled based on the grounds of Article 45 of the Family Code, while in the nullity of marriage, it declared that a marriage is void from the beginning due to either the lack of essential or formal requisites of marriage (Article 35 of the Family Code), psychological incapacity (Article 36 of

the Family Code), incestuous marriages (Article 38 of the Family Code, bigamous marriages (Article 41 of the Family Code), of non-compliance with the requirements under Article 52 and 53 of the Family Code for subsequent marriages. Applying the foregoing, it must be understood that once a person has been married, such person is still validly married until a Finality of Judgment of has been made over the marriage. Proof of such issuance of the declaration of nullity of the first marriage is when a Family Court has issued a Certificate of Finality saying that the Decision has become Final and Executory. Until then, a person is still deemed to be married and his/her second marriage will be rendered null and void in addition to him/her committing the crime of bigamy.

I must emphasize also that even if the first marriage may eventually be judicially declared void, the fact remains that at the time that the second marriage was obtain, the first marriage was still subsisting. (Castillo vs. De Leon Castillo, G.R. No. 189607, April 18, 2016) Conversely, if the previous spouse and this person has been granted only legal separation, under one of the grounds under Article 55 of the Family Code, that legal is only separation from bed and board but it does not render such married void or annulled. Thus, the person cannot remarry even with a grant of legal separation. And again if you choose to marry this person, your marriage will be considered void and this person will be again liable for the crime of bigamy. To help guide you, you must

first look into the facts and circumstances therefore of the situation of the person. Do a background check and see if the person is only separated in fact or his/her marriage has been judicially declared void or if he is only legally separated. You don’t want to put yourself in a situation where you will later on regret your choice only because you decided to follow your heart instead of your head. The above legal opinion is based solely on the appreciation of the facts and problem given and stated above. The opinion may vary when other facts, circumstances, and situations are stated. For more information and for further queries, you may contact the Legal Aid Office of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Davao City Chapter at ezchua@ gmail.com.

HENRYLITO D. TACIO THINK ON THESE!

THE RAPE OF OUR FORESTS Once upon a time, virgin forests just stood there, languid and undisturbed. No one dared to explore the heart of the mysterious forests as it was completely unknown. They were the territories of the fairies and the dwarves, the gods and goddesses. Then, as years passed by, the population continued to increase at an alarming rate. Then, one day, Filipinos woke up to the fact that the country is now home to more than 107 million people. The available metropolitan lands are now almost taken over by the ever-growing population. It was just a matter of time that people started to encroach the untouched forests. More people means more mouths to feed. Farmers from the lowlands tried to bring the practices they employed with devastating results. In the olden days, kaingineros practiced slash-and-burn farming. It was alright as there were other lands where they could move and then do the same method. But today, there are no more lands available for moving. The previous lowland farmers had to settle in the same farms through the years. Most of the farms were located in upland areas which were previously occupied by trees. Without the trees, the bare farms are suscep-

tible to soil erosion. Soil is the primary resource in food production. Under most conditions, soil is formed at a rate of one centimeter every 100 to 400 years, and it takes 3,000 to 12,000 years to build enough topsoil to form productive land. What nature takes a very long time to form could be washed away in 20 minutes or less by just one heavy rainfall in areas where farmers don’t use the land carefully. As Harold R. Watson, an American agriculturist who received a Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1985 for international understanding, puts it: “Soil erosion is an enemy to any nation – far worse than any outside enemy coming into a country and conquering it because it is an enemy you cannot see vividly.” But most of these lowland-farmers turned upland-farmers encroached on lands left by the loggers, both legal and illegal. “Logging is more than an ecological problem. It is a social, political and economic dilemma as well,” said Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. “At the root of the malaise are stupendous profits and the ease with which they can be raked in.” Logging has been cited as one of the primary culprits of the disappearance of its forest resources. Robert Repetto, author of The Forest for the Trees?

Government Policies and the Misuse of Forest Resources, reported: “An important source of deforestation has been the dramatic expansion of destructive logging.” Repetto explained: “After independence, the Philippines’ new government viewed exploitation of the country’s forest reserves as a good way to raise desperately needed revenues. Log- and wood-product exports were resumed, and timber companies were given substantial incentives. Harvests quickly increased to more than 5 million cubic meters in the late 1950s. Driven by incentives, strength in the world log market, and mechanized harvesting, the timber boom continued during the 1960s, peaking in 1969. By then, the annual harvest exceeded 11 million cubic meters, nearly triple that of 1955. “As the timber boom gained momentum, the government was unable to supervise concessions effectively or enforce logging regulations,” Repetto wrote. “Links between timber companies and politicians further eroded government control.” Annual outputs averaging 10 million cubic meters were maintained until 1974, when depletion, world recession, and competition from other log-exporting countries forced a reduction. Declines contin-

ued over the next decade, and by 1984 the harvest returned to the pre-boom level of 3.8 million cubic meters. “Over the last 25 years, we sold over 101.6 million cubic meters of prime logs abroad,” deplored the late Dr. Dioscoro Umali, another Ramon Magsaysay awardee. “We subsidized developed countries with cheap timber.” Today, only scattered patches of virgin forests remain, mostly in remote areas. But even these fragments are under pressure as wood supplies tighten. “Deforestation is the other result of modernization,” wrote science research specialist Erlinda H. Belen. “Wood, for instance, is globally in demand. Many uncaring users resort to illegal logging to blow up wood supply.” Watersheds, where most of the forests now remain, are not spared from denudation. “Many of our watersheds have been denuded,” commented L.C. America, another science research specialist. “As a result, accelerated soil erosion, flash flooding, and drought have become more prevalent causing much destruction.” Watersheds constitute about 75% of the total land of 30 million hectares. The Philippines has a total of 110 proclaimed and 154 priority watersheds with a total land area of 1,376,455.10 hectares and

11,690,695 hectares, respectively. “Watersheds provide vital resources, which include soil, water, forest range, wildlife, and minerals,” America noted. “Water is a key watershed resource that can be used for power generation, agriculture, industry, domestic, drinking and others.” Something must be done. “Deforestation is a critical condition which has consequently brought tremendous impacts to the environment as well as the economy,” Belen wrote. She stressed that the rapid depletion of the country’s forest cover “threatens biodiversity and requires undertaking conservation measures as top priority.” Studies show that even just at an average of P20,000 per hectare reforestation costs, reforestation would need a total of P30 trillion. To think, this estimate was in 2002 yet! The future is, indeed, now written on the wall! “Our countrymen should not accept environmental degradation as a fact of modern life,” the former environment secretary Fulgencio Factoran, Jr. reminded. “Instead, they should be willing to go to the forefront with shovels and seedlings in hand, or with placards and principles, and articulate their renewed affinity with nature and its elements.”

Uy’s planned takeover of the Malampaya facility is the subject of the graft complaint filed before the Office of the Ombudsman against Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, Uy, and officials of Chevron Philippines and Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. With the sale of Shell’s Malampaya stake to Malampaya Energy, Uy’s company will now hold 90% control of the gas field in offshore Palawan. Uy’s company bought out Chevron Philippines’ share in the Malampaya Consortium last year, which had 45% participating interest in SC 38. Before Uy’s planned takeover, the Malampaya Consortium was composed of SPEX, Chevron, and the Philippine National Oil Company-Exploration Corporation, which still holds 10% interest in the gas field.

Davao Region’s inflation rate rises to 6% in Sept- PSA 11

D July.

avao Region’s inflation rate in September 2021 registered at 6.0 percent after soaring at 6.7 percent in

The spikes in inflation rates in Davao Region were revealed during the virtual Data Dissemination Forum on Consumers Price Index (CPI) yesterday conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Region XI. Presentations and discussions on the inflation rates drawn from the CPI

in 2021 were highlighted. In her presentation, Information Officer I, Kathlen A. Aparece of PSA XI defined the CPI and explained its uses. “Consumers Price Index is the indicator of the change in the average retail prices of a fixed basket of goods and services commonly purchased by

households relative to a base year,” she said. “Its common uses are it is the most widely used in the calculation of the inflation rate and purchasing power of the peso and the basis for economic analysis and collective bargaining agreements,” Aparece added. Also presented were the common goods and services in the Davao Region with their inflations rates. As of September 2021, the inflation rate for trans-

portation is 5.2%; food and non-alcoholic beverages, 9.0%; alcoholic beverages and tobacco, 6.7%; housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels, 4.6%; furnishings, household equipment, and routine maintenance of the house, 3.9%; health, 4.0; restaurant and miscellaneous goods and services, 2.9%; communication, 1.1%; recreation and culture, 1.4%; clothing and footwear, 1.8%; and for education, 0.1%.

tion Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Director General, Captain Jim Sydiongco, led the inauguration of the completed development projects for the Camiguin Airport. The completed projects include the expansion of the passenger terminal building amounting to PHP29.2 million; construction of the administration building (PHP4.6-M); one bay fire station building (PHP3.2-M); construction of CAAP Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) Office PHP2.04-M); as well as the asphalt overlay of the runway (PHP93.04-M). Camiguin Governor Jurdin Jesus Romualdo, meanwhile, said the airport plans

to hire only locals. “This would be a great help especially for their families, this alone could create a triple impact in our economy,” he said. He also assured travelers that they will be protected against the coronavirus disease 2019 once the island province reopens for tourism on Oct. 25. “We have 1,200 per day vaccination for our tourism workers, so they can accommodate the visitors better,” he said. In the afternoon of the same day, Tugade, along with officials of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and Camiguin, led the launching of the Service Contracting Program (SCP) Phase 2.

A contract signing between the LTFRB and the Camiguin Transport Cooperative was made during the event. Through the program, a total of 35 public utility jeepneys (PUJs) will be utilized to provide free rides for the healthcare workers, essential workers, and Authorized Persons Outside Residence (APORs) in Camiguin. The PUJs will be plying the Mambajao to Mambajao circumferential loop service in the island province. The SCP aims to provide PUJ drivers with financial incentives on a per kilometer basis, which would greatly help them sustain their daily needs, especially amid the prevailing pandemic. (PNA)

Upgraded airport to boost Camiguin economy: Tugade

he opening of the upgraded PHP132.2-million airport in Camiguin province could signal better post-pandemic economic impact, Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade said during a live-streamed event Friday in the island province. During the inauguration of the new airport, Tugade said even when it was still undergoing construction, hiring laborers in the process already started the “economic impact” for the province. “Before it (the airport) can only accommodate 60 passengers, with the new one, it’s now 220, there will be an impact in tourism with that,” he said.

Adviser recommends mandatory vax in labor-intensive sectors

residential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion on Saturday said he has recommended to the labor department mandatory vaccinations in labor-intensive sectors. Concepcion said the risk of COVID-19 transmission is high in the sector, which includes business processing outsourcing (BPO) and semi-conductor firms. “What I suggested to [Labor Secretary Silvestre] Bello dito sa mga lugar na [in sectors that are] labor intensive at mga frontliners, waiters, merchandisers dito sa mga [in] supermarkets, mga retail stores, close contact ‘yan sa mga [they have close contact with] customers and they should be vaccinated,” said Concepcion. Concepcion said workers in restaurants, salons, spas, gyms and cinemas should be vaccinated. “We are requiring all customers to be vaccinated. Kung isang waiter ay hindi bakunado at ayaw niyang magpabakuna anong magagawa ng isang may-ari ng restaurant? Nalulugi nga sila sa halos kadaming lockdown so ang mangyayari dito iuurong na lang siya sa

backend of the operation at hindi tama ‘yan,” said Concepcion. (If a waiter is unvaccinated, what can the employer of a restaurant do? His business is already losing due to several lockdowns and he will just put that employee at the backend of the operation and that is not right.) Concepcion said Bello also thinks that such requirement could be implemented but that it needs more clarity. “The entire private sector, mga business organizations are supporting that move to give leeway to the owners of these restaurants... and even in the labor intensive sector, importante din ‘yan (that’s also important),” he said. He added, “It would be good for IATF to really come out with a clear policy on this para at least yung may-ari ng mga negosyong ito [so that at least owners of these businesses] will be able to fulfill that part na keeping the business establishments safe.” Meanwhile, Concepcion said he has yet to hear of any incident of employees denied of their salaries because they remained unvaccinated.

During the Kusog Mindanaw Virtual Conference Series, MinDA Deputy Executive Director ASec. Romeo Montenegro cited that six out of 10 jobs in Mindanao are related to the agricultural value chain. “So if we wanted to bring back jobs that were lost and create more jobs in the rural areas in moving forward, our direction should be value-adding expanding our agriculture development in

Mindanao,” he said. Montenegro presented the facts and figures of Mindanao’s thriving economic landscape amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with agriculture and other related industries as growth drivers. “These prove that despite the global crisis’ shocks and disruptions, the island region can attribute its resilience to agriculture being the only sector that poses a positive growth in

this challenging time,” he stressed. Also, Montenegro bats for Mindanao’s equitable budget share and pushes for the prioritization of catalytic infrastructures and industries development, which are needed to usher in an inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development in the island region. “An example of how we would want several other LGUs to look at in terms of approach is on a business case we are now developing in Taraka, Lanao del Sur.

In a press conference Friday, DOE Assistant Secretary Gerardo Erguiza Jr. said there is a provision in the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law that allows

the additional government revenue to be used for social welfare and benefits programs like fuel subsidies. Under Section 82 of TRAIN Law, incremental revenues from the law can be tapped to fund “fuel vouchers to qualified franchise holders of public utility jeepneys (PUJs)” within five years from the effectiv-

ity of the act. The TRAIN Law took effect on Jan. 1, 2018. “We will make the necessary suggestions on how to tap any resources. But part of the resolution that we asked the Congress is to be able to determine from DBM (Department of Budget and Management) if they still have the money from the collection and if

Bank of the Philippines (DBP) for the construction of six solar-powered irrigation system (SPIS) and water supply system to value add agriculture productivity,” he cited. It is also the first SPIS to be established under the Mindanao Water Supply Program launched by MinDA, the Department of the Interior and Local Government, and DBP, the agencies involved in crafting the MinDAWater Program. Currently, rice farmers of Taraka, an old town beside the 34,000-hectare Lake Lanao, will plant a second crop in one year with the opening of the first-ever local government-funded SPIS.

we can use the money for this purpose,” Erguiza said in mixed English and Filipino. Earlier, the Department of Finance (DOF) and the National Economic and Development Authority opposed the recommendation of suspending the excise tax on petroleum products despite the rising oil prices.

lsons Power-Hidilyn Diaz Scholars Triumph at World Weightlifting Youth Tilt Two weightlifting scholars of the Alsons Power Hidilyn Diaz Program won four medals at the 2021 International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) Youth World Championships in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Both young weightlifters, are among 15 “power scholars” from Zamboanga City under the Alsons Power-Hidilyn Diaz scholarship program spearheaded by the Mindanao-based power firm and Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz. Alsons Power partnered with Diaz in 2016 to spearhead this scholarship program as part of the power company’s commitment to help provide more educational opportunities for young people in Mindanao. The partnership aims to produce worldclass Filipino weightlifters and support the country’s efforts to continue winning gold in the Olympics and in other international sports competitions. Speaking of the program Olympic Gold Medalist Hidilyn Diaz (center) with the 2nd batch of Alsons Power Hidilyn Diaz Power Scholars including 2021 World Youth Diaz had said, “I’m happy to see Weightlifting Bronze Medalist Jeaneth Hipolito (extreme right) that more girls are going into

weightlifting and aiming to become Olympic medalists as well. I am hopeful that weightlifting will grow with more kids getting into the sport not just from Zamboanga City but all over the Philippines.” Alsons Power Group executive vice president Tirso G. Santillan, Jr. added, “We remain fully committed in helping our Alsons Power-Hidilyn Diaz scholars achieve their hopes and dreams. It has always been our mission to empower the young people of Mindanao through our scholarship programs.” Alsons Power is Mindanao’s first private sector power generator with a portfolio of four power facilities serving over eight million people in 14 cities and 11 provinces in the Philippines’ second largest island.

2021 World Youth Weightlifting Bronze Medalist Jeaneth Hipolito in 2019 14- year- old Jeaneth Hipolito bagged the bronze medal for the Philippines in the women’s 40 kg snatch. Hipolito lifted 52 kg in her third try for a podium finish in the snatch behind gold winner Turkey and Colombia which got the silver.

2021 World Youth Weightlifting Gold and Silver Medalist Rose Jean Ramos in 2017 In the 45kg division, 16-year-old Rose Jean Ramos gave the Philippines two gold medals: one in the snatch and the other as the overall champion in the category.
