By MAYA M. PADILLO

Acting on the order of Mayor Sebas tian “Baste” Duterte, the composite unit of the National Bureau of In vestigation-Davao (NBI-Davao) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources 11 (DENR 11) conducted a raid on illegal structures at the protected area in Marahan, Marilog District, Davao City.

The raid netted two individuals on November 24, 2022.

NBI-Davao agent Eli

Leaño Jr. reported during the recent Regional Law Enforcement Coordina tion Council (RLECC)

meeting that the struc ture was constructed in a protected area. It has no building permit and has a sawmill.

“There were allega tions that in Marahan there was this structure without a building permit being secured and that structure was also con structed in an area that is protected for a facade for a rest house. That is a forest ed area so it is a land-pro

tected area. True to the information there were illegally cut logs of hard wood and Lawaan,” Leaño told media.

Two individuals were arrested and were charged with the violation of Presidential Decree No. 705 also known as the Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines, violation of the IPRA Law or the In digenous Peoples Rights

39 former ASG get cash, food aid from BARMM

Some 39 former Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) members have re ceived cash and food aid as the Bangsamoro Au tonomous Region in Mus lim Mindanao (BARMM) launched the Tulong ng Gobyernong Nagmamala sakit (TUGON) program in Basilan province.

In a statement Friday, the Joint Task Force (JT F)-Basilan said that each 39 former ASG members have received PHP5,000 cash aid. They will also receive family food packs for four consecutive months.

Project TUGON, a pro gram under BARMM’s Min istry of Interior and Local Government (MILG), was launched Wednesday in a simple ceremony at the headquarters of the 64th Infantry Battalion in Baran gay Tumahubong, Sumisip, Basilan.

The program aims to fa cilitate the mainstreaming of former ASG members as productive citizens of the Bangsamoro community by providing them inter ventions to have a stable and uplifted status of life.

Project TUGON also provides reformation and reintegration assistance; capacity building and skills development through TES DA; livelihood assistance; entrepreneurial training;

and housing provisions.

The JTF-Basilan said the 39 former ASG mem bers have undergone pro filing in order to assess the level of their needs and to help them become assets in nation building and ad vocators of peace and sus tainable development in Basilan province.

“They are the living tes timonies that going back to the folds of the law will give them freedom to live peacefully and harmoni ously with their families,” the JTF-Basilan said.

One of the 39 recip ients, Nasir Sabtal, ex pressed his heartfelt grat itude to the Bangsamoro government for initiat ing projects like TUGON, which greatly contributed on their daily needs as they start a new life with their families.

Sabatal said that help ing them is a great way in showing how govern ment eagerly wanted them to change their spiritual thinking from a war-strick en mentality to a produc tive Basileño.

Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Abel Potutan, JTF-Basilan execu tive officer, lauded the effort of BARMM-MILG in facili tating the mainstreaming of the former ASG mem bers through the TUGON program. (PNA)

An official of the regional office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-Davao) re vealed that more women are now aware of their rights under the Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) law.

Sherlyn Concubierta, social welfare II of DSWD 11, said because of the cam paign many women are now approaching their office to complain of abuse by their husbands or partners.

“Dili ko muingon nga nag decrease ang mga kaso pero nag-increase siya be cause of awareness. Kabalo na sila muduol ug unsa ilang buhaton if na-abuse na sila sa ilang partner or husband,”

Concubierta said over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR).

She said that based on their data there are about 27 victims of VAW recorded in the first quarter to the third quarter of this year.

“Ato silang ginatabangan kung unsa ilang buhaton kay dinhi nga opisina ang una nilang ginaadto. Most of the clients ngano mahadlok sila tungod sa support sa hus band mao magpabun-og na

lang sila kay unsaon na lang ang ilang mga anak. Lisod kaayo kung ingon ana lang nga ginapugngan lang nila. Gina empower gyud namo ang mga kababayen’an na dili magpa daug-daug,” she said.

Empowering women against VAWC is among the advocacy of DSWD for the 18-day campaign of the In ternational Day for the Elim ination of Violence Against Women, which kicked off on November 25, 2022.

Concubierta said DSWD 11 will be intensifying the information dissemination that VAW is a public health, gender equality, and human rights issue.

“Ngano ta ga celebrate

ug Violence Against Wom en. Gina celebrate nato ni ug isa sa mga gina campaign or advocate nato ang mga nabiktima aning any forms of abuses physical, mental, economic, psychological or any kinds of abuse. Gina-ad vocate nato ang paghatag ug protection sa mga kababay en-an,” she said.

She said DSWD 11 has existing programs for the vic tims of VAW and among them is establishing a Crisis Inter vention Unit in their office.

“Magdepende ta unsa ilang needs. Gina encourage namo sila ug kung gusto nila ug hustisya ug kasuhan, mag depende mi sa ilaha kay lat er on ang decision naa gi hapon sa ilaha,” she said.

Proposed PRRD library poised to be a landmark, tourist attraction

The proposed President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Presidential library is expected to attract tourists and become a landmark in Davao City, according to Vice Mayor Melchor Quitain Jr.

“Yes, this will not only attract tourists but this will be a landmark in Davao City. In other countries, they have libraries and museums de voted for their presidents. There is prestige and honor and it will be fitting if there is

like this in Davao City kasi for mer PRRD is from Davao City,” Quitain told Edge Davao.

Quitain proposed the establishment of the library in Davao City to honor the President’s life and work, and accomplishment as a great leader.

He added that such a library is a befitting trib ute so that generations of Dabawenyos will be able to research and be educated about Davao City and the

beloved President of the Republic of the Philippines Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Quitain said they are cur rently gathering items of FPR RD to be displayed. He added that they are calling out on the private sector if they have ma terials they can use.

He also said they are also getting in touch with FPRRD if they are allowed to get some of his materials in Malacañang to be displayed.

Quitain said they look

ing at the national museum building inside People’s Park to establish the said li brary.

“We have several meet ings already and we are eyeing the national muse um building inside People’s Prrk and we are still trying to work it out if possible in that museum there will be a portion devoted for FPRRD. We are looking for a venue where it can showcase,” he said.

ANTONIO V. FIGUEROA FAST BACKWARD

THE COLONY’S ‘DAVAO DOZEN’

John D. Lukacs, in his book ‘Escape from Davao’ (2010), ten American pris oners of war (POWs) and two Filipino convicts from the Davao Penal Colony recorded ‘the most daring prison break of the Pacific War’ on April 4, 1943.

Historians attach sev eral significances to this episode for its daring and due to the fact that it paved the way for the existence of the brutal Bataan Death March that, until that time, was kept from American knowledge. And for the first time, the plight of American and Fili-pino POWs in the frightening Camp No. 1 at Cabanatuan City was also exposed to the world.

The escapees were part of a batch of POWs trans ferred from Cabanatuan and deposited at the colony, which arguably provided better comforts and medi cal services than the previous confinement. To feed

the inmates, the Japanese captors had to dispatch the prisoners dai-ly to a place known as Mactan, an agri cultural patch in the penal farm that was devoted to planting rice and the culti vation of coconut, banana, and coffee for the consump tion of the colony’s occu pants.

It was the bonds of ca maraderie and trust be tween the American POWs and the Filipino convicts that eventually led to the hatching of a plan to breach the fortress-like security of the colony. On April 4, 1943, Sunday, ten U.S. POWs and two Filipinos executed the escape plan. Against the odds and facing the pros pect of crossing swamps that hosted crocodiles, the group, despite a few risky hitches, pursued the idea after they had slipped away from the sight of Japanese sentries.

Tentatively lost in the

maze of freshwater jun gles after the guides failed to find the right route, the group, due to determina tion and the fear of being captured by the tracking team, eventually made it to freedom with help from ru ral residents and paramili taries. They were clothed, fed, and debriefed upon reaching a guerrilla camp not too distant from the pe nal farm’s premises.

After recuperating from the ordeal, the POWs were escorted up to Misamis Ori ental by Lt. Jose Tuvilla; the colony’s superintendent; and a Filipina nurse. They met up with Lt. Col. Wen dell Fertig, commander of the 10th Military District in Mindanao, a guerrilla unit.

Of the eight Americans cited in Lukacs’ account, seven of them were spirited out of Min-danao for Aus tralia, the headquarters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, by submarine. Except for 2nd

Lt. Leo Boelens who died in Japanese hands in Janu ary 1944, and Capt. William Edwin Dyess, who perished in a California plane crash in December 1943, and the other escapees survived the war. Benigno de la Cruz and Victorio Jumarong, the Filipinos who helped in the escape as chaperons, also survived. It is not known if they were granted pardons by the gov-ernment.

The information the mil itary escapees shared with the higher-ups during the Australian interview af forded the Allied forces a clear perspective on how best to deal with the enemy campaign in the Philippines and afforded the liberators a glimpse of the Japanese military mind.

In the online article (‘Ex posing Atrocity: The Davao Dozen and the Bataan Death March‘) of ‘The Na tional WWII Museum’ (New Orleans, US) dated January

31, 2022, written by Dr. Ja son Dawsey, a historian at the Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, the number of Americans involved in the dramatic escape rose to 12, hence the label ‘Davao Doz en.’

The expanded POW list now included Lt. Comdr. Melvyn McCoy, Maj. Ste phen Mellnik, Capt. Austin Shofner, Capt. Dyess, 1st Lt. Michiel Dobervich, 1st Lt. Jack Hawkins, 2nd Lt. Boelens, 2nd Lt. Samuel Grashuio, Sgt. Paul Mar shall, and Sgt. Robert Spiel man.

The feat of the ‘Davao Dozen,’ initially blocked from being disclosed to the media and the public, was never replicated anywhere throughout the war. The POW revelations enraged the American public and incited the U.S. military to seek retribution against en emy atrocities.

REYNAFE MOMAY-CASTILLO MINDAVIEWS

How do we kill the bro ken? Shoot down their fight ing spirit. Leave nothing but regret of not being able to do something. Leave the thing as it is. Let it pass be fore your eyes.

Every year, I am asked on how am I, how am I do ing, how am I moving on after (thirteen) 13 years of seeking justice for my father, Reynaldo “Bebot” Momay. I would always answer, “Yes, I am still alive and breathing.” That,I am fine, able and bet ter each day.

I am indeed broken but

capable. I am trying to sur vive for the sole reason that as a broken person, I don’t want my fight for justice to be killed further. I do not want to forget and be left without any purpose.

For the sake of my fa ther’s name, my children, and future grandchildren. I won’t let them. In fact, the case is already on appeal to a higher court last January 2020.

It will be 2023 next year, and another year that this case will even drag if noth ing can be done. Time seems freezing and justice seems so far away. However, de spite all hammerings, I am blessed and thankful for my lawyers from Centerlaw Philippines most especially to Atty Gilbert Andres and

the rest of the team who shared my vigor in never giving up in this case.

To my family, friends and colleagues, please continue to pray for me that at the soonest time possible I can receive a Decision on my ap peal. There is still hope and remedy being God the center of all these things, especially on my quest for justice.

Justice for my father, Jus tice for the 58th Maguindan ao Massacre Victim, Reynal do Bebot Momay.

DBM OKs release of over P69M for DA’s nat’l livestock program

The Department of Budget and Man agement (DBM) has approved the release of over P69 million for the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) National Livestock Program.

In a statement on Fri day, the DBM said Budget Secretary Amenah Pan gandaman has approved the release of P69,699,000 to support the Protein-En riched Copra Meal (PECM) Commercialization Project under the National Live stock Program.

The DBM said the spe cial allotment release or ders (SAROs), approved by Pangandaman on No vember 17, aimed “to

augment the Production Support Services (PSS) on the National Livestock Program to cover the fund ing requirements of the PECM Commercialization Project, chargeable against the DA Budget under 2022 General Appropriations Act.”

“In line with President Ferdinand Marcos. Jr.’s instruction to put prime importance on agricul ture, we will do our best

to provide support and implement vital measures to boost the country’s ag ricultural output. The re lease of the fund will sure ly help our kababayans, especially those who rely on livestock farming as their livelihood,” said Pan gandaman.

The DA - National Live stock Program, through the PECM Commercializa tion Project, aims to com mercialize the use of pro tein-enriched copra meal as a locally available feed ingredient that can sub stitute imported soybean for the benefit of Filipino swine and poultry raisers.

According to the DA,

the project “shall focus to jumpstart and expedite the commercialization of PECM as an urgent mea sure to cushion the im pact of soaring feed raw material prices which had been contributing to the increase in pork and chick en consumers.”

“Ultimately, supporting the program translates to helping our consumers. Ito naman po ang han garin ng Marcos admin – ang tulungan ang agri culture sector sa kanil ang produksyon para ma-maintain ang presyo ng mga agricultural prod ucts at affordable levels,” Pangandaman said.

DBM releases P69M to fund commercialization of PECM

The Department of Budget and Manage ment has approved the release of around PHP69 million to fund the commercialization of pro tein-enriched copra meal (PECM) in order to cushion the impact of soaring feed raw materials which, in turn, would help consum ers.

According to a state ment on Friday, Budget Secretary Amenah F. Pan gandaman said the agency approved the release of PHP69.699 million to sup port the Protein-Enriched Copra Meal (PECM) Com mercialization Project un der the National Livestock Program of the Depart ment of Agriculture (DA)

on Nov. 17.

The project aims to commercialize the use of PECM as a locally avail able feed ingredient that can substitute imported soybean for the benefit of Filipino swine and poultry raisers.

“In line with President R. Marcos Jr.’s instruction to put prime importance

to agriculture, we will do our best to provide sup port and implement vital measures to boost the country’s agricultural out put. The release of the fund will surely help our kaba bayans (countrymen), es pecially those who rely on livestock farming as their livelihood,” Pangandaman said.

in airport passengers

The Manila Internation al Airport Authority (MIAA) on Friday said it expected a 13 to 15 per cent increase in passengers by mid-December or at the peak of the holiday travel rush.

The Ninoy Aquino In ternational Airport cur rently caters to around 100,000 passengers arriv ing and departing daily in both domestic and inter national flights, said MIAA senior assistant general manager Bryan Co.

“Sa peak season po, in aasahan po natin na dada gdag po ang pasahero na tin dito sa NAIA at around mga 13 to 15 percent po... That would be around mga mid-December po, around mga December 15 onwards until early January,” he said in a televised briefing.

(During the peak season, we expect that our passen gers in NAIA will increase by 13 to 15 percent. That would be around mid-De cember, around Dec. 15 on wards until early January.)

NAIA has increased its manpower since All Saints’ Day to ensure smooth oper ations, Co said.

“Ang airlines natin at

mga ground handlers ng air lines, tinitiyak natin na ang kanilang mga manpower ay already sufficient to handle yung mga expected surge in the number of passengers,” he said.

(Our airlines and their ground handlers, we ensure that their manpower is al ready sufficient to handle the expected surge in the number of passengers.)

The volume of domes tic passengers in NAIA has surpassed pre-pandemic figures, while the number of international travelers is at 60 to 70 percent of the pre-pandemic level, Co not ed.

SOME FLIGHTS TRANS FERRED TO NAIA TERMI NAL 1

Meanwhile, some Philip pine Airlines flights will be transferred to NAIA Termi nal 1 from Terminal 2 next month in a bid to decongest the airport, Co said.

The decongestion will begin on Dec. 1 and affected flights include those bound for the United States, Cana da, and the Middle East.

The MIAA is coordinat ing with the Philippine Air lines to notify passengers, Co said.

MIAA sees up to 15% increase

by mid-Dec.

CAB retains Level 8 fuel surcharge for December

The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) said fuel surcharges both for domestic and international flights will be retained at Level 8 for next month.

In an advisory issued on Nov. 20, the fuel sur charge under Level 8 for a one-way domestic tick et will remain between PHP253 and PHP787 while from PHP835 to PHP6,208 for an interna tional flight, depending on the distance.

Airlines who wish to impose or collect fuel sur charge for the same peri od must file an application with the Office of the Exec utive Director on or before the effectivity period, the advisory said.

For the fuel surcharge to be collected in equiva lent currency, the applica ble conversion rate for the same period is USD1 to PHP58.72.

Meanwhile, local air lines on Friday welcomed the CAB’s decision to retain the current FSC level.

“This initiative helps all airline companies to cushion the effects of the volatile fuel pricing and the weakening value of the peso versus the US dollar,” said AirAsia Philippines in a statement.

Philippine Airlines, on the other hand, said it will comply with the level 8 matrix and will have it re flected on tickets to be pur chased in December.

“We have ongoing pro gram partnerships which provide promo rates that help ease the burden among our customers,” PAL said.

Both airlines said they are ramping up their flights to sustain the pent-up de mand for air travel.

Passenger surge at NAIA

Motorists

Citing oil trading in the past five days (November 21 to 25), an oil industry source said that the price per liter of diesel may go down by P3.90 to P4.20.

Gasoline prices, mean while, may be slashed by P1.20 to P1.50 per liter.

The latest pump price projects are higher than

the estimates released on Friday, which was based on the four-day trading.

In an interview on PTV on Friday, Depart ment of Energy-Oil In dustry Management Bureau (DOE-OIMB) As sistant Director Rodela Romero confirmed that there will be a big-time

rollback in the prices of all petroleum products next week.

Romero cited the in creasing COVID-19 cas es in mainland China, higher crude inventory in the United States, and the price cap imposed on Russian crude as the main factors for the anticipated drop in fuel prices.

Oil companies usually announce price adjust ments every Monday, to be implemented on the

following day.

Effective Tuesday, November 22, fuel firms implemented a per liter price reduction in gaso line by P0.40, diesel by P2.15, and kerosene by P2.10.

The latest price ad justment brought the year-to-date adjustment to stand at a net increase of P17.75 per liter for gas oline, P33.85 per liter for diesel, and P27.85 per li ter for kerosene.

Undersubscribed BSP’s 28-day securities fetch higher yield

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) partially awarded its 28-day securities after it was undersubscribed during Friday’s auction.

The 28-day securities offered at PHP120 billion only fetched tenders of

PHP109.469 billion.

But bids fetched high er interest rate of 6.0031 percent from last week’s auction with yield at 5.8005 percent.

BSP’s accepted yields for this offer were be tween 5.7950 percent and

6.2000 percent, with bid coverage ratio at 0.9122.

“The undersubscrip tion in today’s auction could be attributed to the increasing demand for cash by eligible counter parties in preparation for the December holidays,”

PEZA wants to rationalize ecozone dev’t requirements

The Philippine Economic Zone Au thority (PEZA) wants a rationalization of requirements for eco nomic zone develop ment since it is the only investment pro motion agency (IPA) that needs Presiden tial proclamation for new ecozone projects, its officer-in-charge Tereso Panga said Fri day.

“We want ratio nalization of require ments for ecozone development because it’s only PEZA that goes through a Presi dential proclamation process. In the case of AFAB (Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan), TIEZA (Tourism infrastruc

ture and Enterprise Zone Authority), they can designate areas as ecozones without having to go through Presidential procla mations,” said Panga during PEZA’s Inves tors’ Recognition Day 2022 celebrations.

He said rationaliz ing the requirements for ecozone projects would be part of the agency’s proposal to revisit the 27-yearold PEZA law.

In accordance with Republic Act 7916, as amended, also known as “Special Econom ic Zone Act of 1995”, PEZA is the principal government agen cy which is tasked to operate, administer, manage and develop

export-oriented eco nomic zones in the country.

PEZA is the agen cy that operates eco zones nationwide, except in few areas which have their own IPAs, and promotes the flow of foreign or local investors into the economic zones.

Since 1995, there are 421 PEZA zones nationwide, which were all approved through Presidential proclamations. Of the total ecozones, 300 are information tech nology (IT) parks and centers, 78 are man ufacturing ecozones, 23 are agro-industrial parks, 17 are tourism ecozones, and three are on medical tour

ism.

A total of 4,346 locators have put up their facilities in these ecozones.

For the past 27 years, investments in PEZA zones reached PHP4.076 trillion, generating 1.8 million jobs, and have creat ed USD982.62 billion in export revenues for the country for nearly three decades.

Panga said that in 2021 alone, business activities in PEZA contributed 16 per cent to the country’s gross domestic prod uct (GDP) in 2021, with 80 percent of the country’s total exports coming from PEZA-registered en terprises. (PNA)

Drawing lessons from just watching the FIFA World Cup games

Watching the World Cup games on TV that showed the shocking defeat of soccer superpowers reminds me of the success ful Davao Football Association (DFA) pro gram in the 1990s.

The DFA players then were training every afternoon at the old PTA field. Coach Jose “Sensei” Te, team manager Edward “Chaya” Lam and then DFA president Vic Sai were the key figures of that program. Rafael “Popsy” Vilela was then a protégé of coach Te.

As I was observing from the sidelines (usually from the Adolfo Canteen), there I can see young student-athletes honing their skills at the lubak-lubak football field. But that lubak-lubak field turned out to be a big plus factor in the training of the athletes. The degree of difficulty in maneuvering the ball was unmatched by the beautiful and well-maintained turfs in the country, LoL. In fact, when I was asked by fellow report ers at the Davao Press Club in Maguindan ao Hotel (yes, ana na kadugay), I just told them that training in that lubak lubak field has produced national champions.

The players were working hard, dou ble time compared to other players in the country at that time, because of that lubak lubak field. Coach Te has religiously re ported every afternoon at PTA to super vise the training even until his eyesight has become a little blurry (damn that di abetes), testing his created plays if it is go ing to work for his current list of players.

Jun Mendez was the regular refer ee during trainings and who eventually earned a FIFA referee badge in the later years.

Behind the scenes of that training was the difficult task of raising funds for the teams’ competition in the national tourna ments. We used to joke that manong Vic Sai would go to the Chaya Bank (not China Bank) and confer with Chaya Lam as to the preparations of the teams.

As everybody knows in the sports community, the DFA has produced nation al champions under the banners of Dan fer Cargo Fowarders, Acer and Columbia Computer Center Football Club.

During the World Cup games, play ers and coaches would come early in the mornings or so late at night at the home of Chaya so that they can watch the games and learn how the world’s best soccer teams play. At that time, the games were aired via Cable TV. Those were the days.

The presence of a well-oiled manage ment team in the association has pro

duced wonders for Davao football at that time.

That kind of set up has also made FIFA, the world’s governing body for the sport, very successful in organizing the FIFA World Cup.

I am trying to recall the name of that Japanese coach who came to Davao and had a meeting with coach Te, manong Vic and Chaya where he talked about how the Philippine team used to beat the Ja pan team in double-digit scores until such time that the double-digit score was even tually reduced to a single digit and eventu ally, the Philippines could no longer beat the Japanese national football team.

Now, Japan has been making big waves, even scoring a 2-1 victory over Germany on November 23 in Qatar.

I dearly miss the conversations of Philippine Football Federation (PFF) sec retary-general Christopher Monfort, the able lieutenant of PFF president Atty.Rene Adad, who every time he comes to Davao would share a lot of stories of his football work abroad. As a young sportswriter then, listening to him is like attending the Asian Football Confederation sports ad ministration courses all over again.

I know that the new leadership in the Davao football community under Engi neer Henry Sabate, who we fondly call Erap, has been working hard in improving the facilities, using even his personal re sources to make sure that once the tour nament starts, the field is in tip-top condi tion. Never lubak lubak. And that is why we laud his leadership.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned in just watching the World Cup games.

We hope that one day, Davao City will again produce many national players again and hopefully, the PFF will be able form a national team that will dominate the SEA Games, even the Asian Games and hopefully get a spot in the World Cup. Hopefully, in our lifetime.

I wonder if the PFF will revive the P-League.

The J-League, the Japan Professional Football League, started 30 years ago and has eventually produced top-caliber play ers.

Can the PFF do that through P-League?

Of course, it can be done.

Hopefully, in our lifetime, we can see that.
