HE Davao City Police Office (DCPO) dismissed the claim of Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice that Davao City ranks fourth with the highest crime rate in the country in 2014. DCPO spokesperson Chief

Inspector Milgrace C. Driz said they are even willing present a data to counter the supposed list of Erice placing Davao fourth highest in crime rate. Erice is a member of the ruling Liberal Party (LP), which is fielding former Interi-

or and Local Government secretary Mar Roxas in the 2016 elections. He revealed the list on Monday and hit Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte for failing to curb the rising crime in his city. “We do not receive any reports that the city is the fourth

in high crime rate and if that is the case we will present our data to prove that we have less crime rate in the country,” Driz said in yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps briefing at Task Force Davao Headquarters.

Nograles: Comelec reversal on Poe ruling is‘slim to none’

ORMER Speaker Prospero Nograles today said the chance of reversing the decision of the Commission of Elections (Comelec) disqualifying Sen. Grace Poe presidential elections is “slim to none” and should be already considered to be “out of the race.” Nograles, who was an Ateneo De Manila law bar topnotcher and a human rights lawyer, said that Poe can seek other legal remedies, including the option going to the Su-

preme Court, but there is very little chance that she would be able to get a favorable ruling. “Grace Poe can have two options to reverse her disqualification including an appeal to the Supreme Court but as a lawyer, I think that her chance of reversing the Comelec ruling is slim to none,” Nograles said. “This issue can be debated to death but the lawyer in me thinks that she’s (Poe) already out of the race,” he added.

Sumifru probed for polluting rivers

Chemicals thrown to Tamugan-Panigan river system?

S Sumifru, the giant fruit company operating Cavendish banana plantations in the hinterland of Davao City’s Third Congresssional District, throwing toxic chemicals into the Tamugan-Panigan river system? This matter is now being investigated by the Davao City Watershed Management Council (WMC), headed by no less than Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte himself. WMC acted on the matter after the office of Councilor Leonardo Avila III forwarded a complaint from Barangay Tambobong that the company has been behind the pollution of the river system located in the area.

The complaint was first officially reported to the watershed council by Nick Solana III, a staff assistant of Avila, who also represents the councilor in the WMC. The matter was assigned to the Watershed Multipartite Monitoring Team (WMMT) headed by Curtis Lazarraga of the City Health Office. In a preliminary report to the WMC during its monthly meeting last November 26, Lazarraga said there was need to gather more data about the complaint. Lazarraga said some other farmers in the area could be using fertilizer and pesticide chemicals in growing vegeta-

AFP: No ISIS in Mindanao, but monitoring continues By ARMANDO B. FENEQUITO JR.

abf@edgedavao.net

HE Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will continue its monitoring on the possible entry of the members of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Mindanao. In yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps briefing, Eastmincom deputy commander Brigadier General Harold Cabreros said even though there are no reports of the existence of ISIS especially in Central Mindanao, the soldiers are still monitoring their areas of responsi-

bility as ISIS terrorists might join local groups. “With regards with the ISIS, we do not have any reports on their presence, trainings and so on. But remember, these are terrorists who always do their things in other areas,” he said. Cabreros said all suspected terror groups are now being monitored because some of thse might cuddle one of the members of ISIS. He assured the public that there are no sympathizers of ISIS within the Eastmincom

area of responsibility. The Eastmincom covers the areas of Davao region, Bukdnon, Cagayan De Oro City and Caraga region. Earlier, AFP chief-of-staff General Hernando Irreberi said the AFP has also not received reports of suspected sympathizers of ISIS in the island. Irreberi said while the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) uses the ISIS flag every time it appears on social media, no connection has yet been established between the two groups.

He said the ASG just wants to give the impression that it is allied with ISIS. In a report from GMA news online, security analyst Professor Rommel Banlaoi said he has received information from his Malaysian intelligence contacts that five Malaysian terrorists are hiding in Mindanao after fighting in Syria and Iraq. Banlaoi said the five arrived in the country in 2014. The report said the AFP confirmed the presence of the five Malaysian terrorists in Basilan.

Bankerohan, San Pedro, Ilustre and Agdao appealed for more space by allowing them to sell their goods both sides of the sidewalk. The request was made to Jimlani and City Administrator Jesus Melchor V. Quitain. “Pwede sila magtinda anang mga lugara na akong mga giingon provided they will follow what is in the rules (They can display their goods in the places that I have mentioned provided that they follow what is in the rules),” Jimlani said in yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps briefing at Task Force Davao Headquarters. He said for this season, the

one-third now which is in the center of the sidewalk will be the pathway for the pedestrian while the two-thirds in the both sides will be for the vendors. “We already have an agreement and I told them to follow the rules,” Jimlani said. He admitted that although most of the vendors will not follow the rules imposed on them, the government has o help them because 90 percent of the vendors are poor. The vendors in Bankerohan had already started selling in both sides of the sidewalk since last week. Jimlani, however, warned that the demolition team is

ready to confiscate goods of vendors found violating the policy. He said there is now a white paint line from the railings in Bankerohan where the vendors are allowed to sell their stocks. The vendors who also asked to sell in the overpass were not allowed since Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte already gave orders to have this area cleaned. After the January 5, CDU will resume its demolition operations again. “The counterpart of the word demolition is rehabilitation,” Jimlani said. ARMANDO B. FENEQUITO JR.

OOD news to sidewalk vendors. City Hall has given them more space to sell their goods by reversing the onethird, two-thirds policy imposed on them for years now. With the reversal, sidewalk vendors can now occupy twothirds of the sidewalk and onethird for the pedestrians.

HIV-positive athlete leads World AIDS Day in Boracay

N line with the celebration of World AIDS Day, an athlete positive of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) urged tourist and locals in this tourist destination to stop the discrimination on people living with the disease. Twenty-seven-year old Faustine Luell Angeles Jr., cyclist and founder of the group Pedal for HIV ,led the HIV awareness campaign conducted by the Municipal Health Office of Malay.

Angeles, living with HIV for about five years now, also gathered the attention of the tourist along the White Beach of Boracay by holding a poster with a message “I am living with HIV. Will you touch me.”

“I wanted to encourage the people to stop discriminating people living with HIV. I want them to know that HIV could not be transmitted by just mere contact,” he said. Angeles said that eliminating discrimination will enable more people to come out and seek for help. “I wanted to raise the awareness of the public about HIV, not just for us PLHIVs but for the community to be protected,” he added.

agency that we should really thank for its support, then that would be DSWD. I personally have been a witness to DSWD’s massive support to the province since day one until now in our rehabilitation phase.

As I said even before, I salute them.” For the province of Compostela Valley, Gov. Arturo T. Uy recounted, “The first national agency to really extend support, it was DSWD, of course,

aside from the AFP and the PNP. DSWD extended not only food but also psycho-social intervention. It was not a oneshot deal but has been sustained until now –giving us assistance, guiding us, ensuring that all government funds are implemented. With the cashfor-work and livelihood programs of DSWD, napagaan ang damdamin ng mga tao (eased the people’s burden),” According to Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer of Compostela Valley Josephine M. Frasco, DSWD played a big role in the Typhoon Pablo response. “At day one, DSWD immediately

responded, DSWD workers were already in New Bataan. DSWD was our partner in the crisis. Even before the typhoon, during the Masara landslide in Maco, DSWD was the first to send relief goods and food agad agad(instantly). DSWD is maaasahan (reliable) in the immediate delivery of assistance.”

City urged to develop urban area By CHENEEN R. CAPON

crc@edgedavao.net

S the city’s landscape continue to change because of development, urban planner architect Jun Palafox said the city government should focus on developing long term plan for the urban area and transportation. “The city mayor himself admitted that there’s a need for urban planning in Davao City to entice more investors,” Palafox told reporters at the sidelines of the Asia CEO Forum at the Marco Polo Davao last Tuesday. Palafox said the city government has already attained and maintained peace and order in the city which has been one of the top most reasons of both foreign and local investors in coming in here. “The next stage is planning. It should have medium and long-term planning for different sectors like transportation and urban design and landscape planning not only short-tem plans that require immediate action and project implementation,” said Palafox, who is also the principal architect and urban planner of Palafox associates. Palafox, who’s been a consultant of urban planning in different countries and cities worldwide like in Dubai,

New York and Singapore, said planning is necessary for developing cities like Davao to ensure the continuity of entry of investments. Not only good governance will entice more investors but also comprehensive urban planning, he added. Compared to Metro Manila, he said the Davao City has still room for planning and development. With only 10 percent of the total area of the city which has already structures, the remaining 90 percent can be planned and develop. Palafox said the city government should include in its planning the construction of more sidewalks and bicycle lane as well as improvement of sewerage and drainage system to avoid flooding. “The city lacks sidewalks for pedestrian, bicycle lanes and an area for landscaping. What the city has is only for vehicles,” he added. The city could accommodate more than 5 million population just like Singapore if the comprehensive urban plan that should be integrated and coordinated with other plans for traffic management, among others. Palafox projected that Davao City along with other

cities in the Philippines will be the prime destination of 70 percent of Filipinos by 2050. He said there will be additional 54 million Filipinos 35 years from now.

At present, the city has already an urban plan through the Comprehensive Land Use Plan which provide investors on the designated areas here suitable for different indus-

HE best gift a government can give to senior citizens of North Cotabato is to help them improve their eye sight. With this in mind, North Cotabato Gov. Emmylou Mendoza today led the distribution of free eye glasses and free eye consultation to thousands of senior citizens in the province dubbed as “Antipara Para kay Lolo at Lola,” Jimmy Sta. Cruz of the North Cotabato Media Bureau, said. Gift giving was a component of Mendoza’s early gift giving program to her constituents. In partnership with private and government ophthalmologists or eye specialists, the free eye examination and distribution of eye glasses were carried out in coordination with local government units. Mendoza said the twin programs for the seniors started in 2013 and have already changed the lives of many residents in 17 towns and Kidapawan City who are in the twi-

light of their lives. Mendoza said she recognized the need for senior citizens to wear much-needed eyeglasses to help them in their day-to-day activities. “We in the provincial government are aware of the important things our elders need such as these eyeglasses which they will use all the time,” Mendoza said. “I saw happy faces during the distribution of eyeglasses and for this I am very much grateful to the provincial government most especially to Gov. Lala for looking into the welfare of our elders,” Magpet town Mayor Marionito Gonzaga. “My Christmas is so happy because of this gift. Thank you to Gov.

Soil: Ally in food production, fight against climate change By HENRYLITO D. TACIO

“If humanity’s overarching need for food security and nutrition, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development is to be met, soil resources have to be given the global attention they deserve.” -- Moujahed Achouri, Director of Land and Water Division of UN Food and Agriculture Organization

WENTY-FIFTEEN is set to end but not too many Filipinos know that the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) declared 2015 as the International Year of Soils. It wanted to raise awareness about soils and the need to sustainably manage and protect soils around the world. “The multiple roles of soils often go unnoticed. Soils don’t have a voice, and few people speak out for them. They are our silent ally in food production,” pointed out FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva. “Soil is the basis for food, feed, fuel and fiber production, and for many critical ecological services,” said Hiroyuki Konuma, FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific. Described as “the reservoir for at least a quarter of global biodiversity,” Konuma said that soil “requires the same attention as aboveground biodiversity.” And yet, “the critical importance of soil to our daily lives is often overlooked.” “Without soil, there would be no food apart from what the rivers and the seas can provide,” said former FAO Director-General Edouard Saouma. “The soil is the world’s most precious natural resource. Yet it is not valued as it should be. Gold, oil, minerals and precious stones command prices which have led us to treat soil as mere dirt.” Soil, aptly described as “the bridge between the inanimate and the living,”

consists of weathered and decomposed bedrock, water, air, organic material formed from plant and animal decay, and thousands of different life forms, mainly microorganisms and insects. All play their part in maintaining the complex ecology of a healthy soil. In the humid tropics, starting from a sandy base, a soil can be formed in as little as 200 years. But the process normally takes far longer. 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 soil to form productive land. “This means that soil is, in effect, a non-renewable resource,” says a FAO publication. “Once destroyed, it is gone forever.” Soil is gone forever when it is eroded. “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,” said Harold R. Watson, an American agriculturist who received a Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1985 for peace and international understanding. “It’s a slow creeping enemy that soon possesses the land.” Although soil erosion does occur naturally, the process is slow. However, man’s intervention has increased the rate of natural erosion. According to David Pimentel, an agricultural ecologist at Cornell University, exposed soil is eroded at several thousand times the natural rate.

“Under normal conditions, each hectare of land losses somewhere between 0.004 and 0.05 tons of soil to erosion each year – far less than what is replaced by natural soil building processes,” one study reported. Several studies have shown that on lands that have been logged or converted to crops and grazing, however, erosion typically takes away 17 tons in a year in the United States or Europe and 30 to 40 tons in Asia, Africa, or South America. On severely degraded land, the hemorrhage can rise to 100 tons in a year. “No other soil phenomenon is more destructive worldwide than is soil erosion,” wrote Nyle C. Brady in his book, The Nature and Properties of Soils. “It involves losing water and plant nutrients at rates far higher than those occurring through leaching. More tragically, however, it can result in the loss of the entire soil.” But soil erosion is just a part of the problem. “Our soils are in danger because of expanding cities, deforestation, unsustainable land use and management practices, pollution, overgrazing and climate change,” FAO said in its website. “The current rate of soil degradation threatens the capacity to meet the needs of future generations.” Aside from food production, soil can help to combat and adapt to climate change. “Healthy soils can play an important role in climate change mitigation by storing carbon (carbon sequestration) and decreasing global greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere,” FAO said. In addition, agriculture contributes significantly to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). GHGs include carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, chlorofluorocarbons from air conditioners and refrigerators, methane gas from landfills and feedlots, and the nitrogen compound, nitrous oxide, from burning fossil fuels and fertilizers. “If soils are managed poorly or cultivated through unsustainable agricultural practices, soil carbon can be released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide which can contribute to climate change,” FAO says. “As crop production has intensified, our soils have suffered the consequences. The steady conversion of grassland and forestland to cropland and grazing land has resulted in historic losses of soil carbon worldwide.” Concentration of methane in the atmosphere has more than doubled during

the past 200 years, scientists claim. Rice production has been cited as one of the major contributors of methane in the atmosphere. “Rice is a plant that grows best in wet soil, with its roots flooded,” says L. Hartwell Allen, an American soil scientist at the Crops Genetics and Environmental Research

Unit in Gainesville, Florida. “But flooded rice crops emit substantial amounts of methane to the atmosphere.” FAO believes that by restoring degraded soils and adopting sustainable management practices such as crop rotation, zero tillage, conservation agriculture, agroforestry and agroecol-

ogy, there is the potential to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases from agriculture, enhance carbon sequestration and build resilience to climate change. “If sustainably managed,” FAO claims, “soils can be part of the solution when it comes to climate change mitigation.”

EDITORIAL The accomplishments of Davao

AVAO City is suddenly so much in the news, not just because its mayor has joined the presidential race in the 2016 elections, but also due to the barrage of criticisms now hurled against the Mindanao metropolis questioning its accomplishments. Over the years, Davao has blossomed into one dynamic and peaceful city in this part of the land mainly because of the leadership of Duterte, but some quarters have not only turned a blind eye on its progress economically but also sought to destroy the city’s image before the public. First there was Laguna Rep. Dan Fernandez, who belittled Duterte’s accomplishment in Davao. Then, there was Liberal Party vice presidential Leni Robredo, who also downplayed what the mayor has done compared to what she claimed as the achievement of her city Naga. And lastly, there was economist and columnist Solita Monsod, who questioned the Numbeo.com report ranking Davao as one of the safest cities in the world. All these tirades directed against Davao and its local chief executive seemed orchestrated, but Dabawenyos are not anymore surprised. Even when Duterte spewed expletives when he lashed at government for its failure to address the traffic problem in Manila,

specifically during the papal visit in the country last January, was used by his detractors to hit him after making it appear he was cursing Pope Francis. The attack dogs were unleashed right away against Duterte in the aftermath of that statement over the Manila traffic, and people of Davao expect more criticisms and innuendoes to come the mayor and the city’s way in the next few months. Elections are just around the corner and the season of throwing mud is already here. Poor Duterte and the people of Davao, who have to endure attacks from left and right in this season of mudslinging and black propaganda. But, there’s one thing these detractors and attack dogs could not eliminate and that is Davao City’s tag as one of the safest cities in the world today as attested by the influx of investments that resulted to a booming economy, and the fact that one can walk at night without being robbed or molested. The city that put up vital structures and installations like the Public Safety and Security Command Center and passed several landmark laws like the Women’s Development Code, Children’s Welfare Code and the Anti-Discrimination Ordinance, to name a few, continues to gain investments and accolades. Nobody can take these achievements away from Davao and its people.

EARN from the mistakes of others. History repeats itself. Life is what we make it. These are just some of the most often-quoted statements about life and living. But we learn life through our own experience. Here are some real lessons in life – as what I have experienced it and what others have shared. You may agree to some of them or you may not, but that’s life. We cannot please everyone. Damned if you, damned if you don’t, they say. Don’t trust the power of your brain all the time. Sometimes, the brain has no control over forgetfulness -- especially if you are getting older already. No matter how good your intentions are (like helping other people), there are always those who look at it the other way around. They may think you have hidden agenda. Don’t take too much of your time with those people who criticizes you; they will stop annoying you if you don’t pay attention to them. Never estimate the power of one. It only takes one match to start a fire. Because of one vote, Adolph Hitler became the leader of Nazi Party in 1923. It was also because of one vote that led Charles I of England to be executed. Just because you are young, you won’t go far. Alfred Lord Tennyson was only 18 when he wrote his first classic. Napoleon Bonaparte was 25 when he conquered Italy. Sir Isaac Newton made his greatest discoveries before he was 25. Jesus Christ reshaped the world at 30. Do not despise the old folks either. Robert Frost wrote his famous poems when he turned 80. Oliver Wendell Holmes was a chief justice

F Sen. Grace Poe is disqualified (Editor’s Note: The Comelec 2nd Division has disqualified Grace Poe on December 1, 2015 as Presidential candidate in the 2016 elections), she will no longer be the issue that had prompted Davao City Mayor to reconsider his “NO” for president and filed last Friday, November 27, his candidacy as the standard bearer of his party, PDP-Laban, as the substitute for the withdrawn party candidate, Martin Diño. Will Duterte withdraw? This reason for his running will then have been mooted. NO! Duterte will continue running, unless disqualified. He is the big issue. The imperatives he wants to do should he become President are what the country sorely needs; but how he wants them done are most controversial. Can he do in six years the same imperatives all past presidents ever since promised every election only to remain as promises for future election? That is what makes him the big issue.

What kind of person is Duterte? Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda was referring to Duterte’s personality and to Liberal Party’s candidate Manuel A. Roxas III’s programs when he said: “The thing with people running is that we’re so focused on the personalities involved… but at the end of the day, I think you should recognize and people should be more discerning in what each candidate presents to the public. What really is the offer?” Lacierda said. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, November 27th, 2015: Foes shrug off Duterte survey lead) If we look at the programs of the two, they are both good. The critical issues are: Has Roxas the personality to make good his offer or program? Has Duterte the personality to do the same with his own offer or program? Without the right personality, good program is hollow – an eternal promise unfulfilled. By “personalities” and “narratives about them”, Lacierda means “popularity” built on idolizing, media hyping, and image building and re-inventing through “PR” (public relations) with no solid ground to stand on. Can this be said of Duterte? In the documents he filed with the Comelec, Duterte re-stated what he stated on and after casting his die on November 21 – his platform of good government focused on (1) a fight against corruption, drugs and criminality and (2) fixing governmental operations. Among his thrusts are “streamlining the bureaucracy by introducing digital systems/technologies” and “values formation in all elementary and high schools nationwide.” (Philippine Daily Inquirer, November 28, 2015: DQ case raised as Duterte files Core-C in Comelec) Can he do it? He told media, he has already done it, saying: “For my credentials for the

Experience: The best teacher when he was 90. Architect THINK ON THESE! Frank Lloyd did his best work at 86. Indestructible John Wesley was still preaching at 88. Learn to appreciate what you have in life. Do not get jealous with Henrylito D. Tacio what others have. “Don’t henrytacio@gmail.com compare your life to others,” wrote newspaper columnist Regina Brett. “You have no idea what their journey is all about.” There is no such thing as one-man army. Heroes oftentimes have sidekicks (think of Batman and Robin). Two heads are better than one. You can accomplish more in life if you have a companion. Adam, the first man on Earth, was lonely -until God created Eve. Say “Thank you” to those who have done something for you. In fact, say thank you even before you ask for something – from God, from your boss, or from someone. At one time, a saleslady was surprised when I said those two words for what she had done to me. Life is full of opportunities to celebrate, so don’t miss any of them: your birthday, passing of the board examination of your nephew or niece, your sister having a child, your father turning 65

years old, or getting a promotion of your job. Practice dancing. There are times when happiness is appreciated and felt if you dance. Dance even if you are alone -- which I do all the time anyway. Laurie Beth Jones, author of Jesus in Blue Jeans, once penned: “Sometimes we dance and sometimes we fall. And there is a net under us all.” If you can’t dance at all, try singing. Sing out loud. And whether you are a fine singer or don’t have that good voice to attract attention, please don’t sing Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” in public karaoke bars and pubs or you will end up dead. “And so I face the final curtain,” so goes one line of the song. Many times when you feel you are farthest from the truth, you are very close to it. And when you think you are on top of the world, you can be sitting in a very dangerous place. If you want to watch someone grow several inches in stature before your eyes, just praise her or him in public. When the horse you are riding suddenly refuses to move, don’t kick it. Get off and look for the angel standing in the road. That horse might be saving your life. Do not despise the little things. Your 99.99 can never be a hundred without 0.1. Sweat the small stuff. Little things mean a lot. And never believe in yourself too much. You are just one in seven billion people living in this world today. If you are a good leader and secured with what you are doing, train someone who will take your place. Florence Littauer, a best-selling author of thirteen books, trained others how to

become successful authors themselves. “If you think I am proudest of my books, you are wrong,” she was quoted as saying. “I am most proud of the people I have helped to become writers themselves.” When traveling, don’t carry bags for just anyone. If you can’t say no, be sure to open those that you have to carry for your own sake (there might be some illegal drugs inside and you will be in big trouble when you arrive in your final destination). When you are a tourist in another country, there are three things you should always bring with you: passport (your identification), air ticket (except when it is an e-ticket and you memorize the code), and wallet (if you want to buy something). Never go out from your hotel without these three. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, someone told me. But how do you explain “out of sight, out of mind”? There are always three solutions to a problem: the right solution, the wrong solution, and the compromise. But more often than not, people choose the wrong solution for some unknown reasons. Don’t be afraid to fail. Sir Winston Churchill suffered financial ruin more than once while his political career was seemingly aborted on several occasions. Perhaps it was Churchill’s numerous failures that led him to define success as “going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” If all fails, try love. After all, love conquers everything. “But the greatest of them all,” the Bible reminds, “is love.”

be a dictatorship because [he explains] ‘if you become the president, you do not only change leaders, you have to change the Filipino himself’.” As for the need “to change the Filipino today”, Duterte was quoted characterizing the Filipino, in Tagalog laced with expletives: “Today, you can’t even tell the Filipino to obey the law. You ought to tell him: This is the law. You’d be damned if you did not follow the law, you’d be damned.” Contradiction 4: Womanizer and women’s rights advocate: “A known womanizer, Duterte has also funded and supports women’s rights” with testimony from “lead activist for gender equality, Irene Santiago [who] says he has done much to empower women in Davao”. “Duterte supported the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill through the years it languished in Congress, pushing family planning and population control in his area of influence. In 2012, while Congress and the Church debated RH, Davao City was already giving out free contraceptives.” Contradiction 5: Sexist and gay rights supporter. “Although he openly admits he’s a male chauvinist often shown in his sometimes sexist remarks, he put in place progressive policies, supporting and funding LGBT activists. He also supports gay marriage.” Contradiction 6: Decisive and indecisive about the presidency. “Perhaps the biggest contradiction of the moment is how such a decisive man could be so indecisive about running for the Philippines’ top job.”

focus to “stop corruption”, Duterte differs from Marcos. As evidence, his supporters say that he is not corrupt. In his years in power, he has maintained a simple lifestyle. (4) Single-minded in his pursuit of law and order, he has no qualms challenging the status quo. He expects pushback or opposition. If the Congress blocks him or threatens him with impeachment, he will shut it down. (5) He is aware of the complexity of our world today. In foreign policy, he would throw the Philippines’ lot in with China. He is lukewarm at best about the United States, saying, “We’re better off making friends with China. America is also the best friend of China. We will adopt a neutral policy there.” Read Part 3 of the Rappler.com’s three-part special report for his elaboration and to savor his blunt language interspersed with invectives, expletives, curses and profanities. Even his own party has cautioned him of his un-presidential language. However, if elected there is no doubt that when called for he will speak the language of the president. What Duterte told Rappler.com during his 45-minute interview with Maria Ressa, he had told the media earlier and repeated after he “crossed his Rubicon” and “cast his die” after November 21. However, unlike the investigative and interpretive reporting in American and European press, the Philippine media reports have not put the issues in perspective. The reporters and editors quote and cite statements of candidates and ask their opponents to comment. That is sensationalizing by playing candidates against each other, the issues muddled or lost. To her credit, however, Ninez Cacho-Olivares, The Daily Tribune editor-in-chief, took issue with Duterte. In her commentary (November 26, 2015: A punisher for president?), she asked: “Can Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte hack the presidency? True, there are many who want him to be president of the Philippines, since he did a job of bringing in peace and order to the city, amid his violations of the law and the Constitution, which appears to be his only qualification, as far as his admirers and propagandists claim. However, can Duterte replicate even just this in the entire Philippines?” (Bold, ours) With her lengthy elaboration, she projected Duterte – not what he wants to do if elected – as the election issue. That he is the election issue was exactly what Duterte meant in a MindaNews report when he told Congress reporters in Matina, Davao City concerning what he can offer the country, hours after he had withdrawn his candidacy for reelection as Davao City mayor last November 27: “My Exhibit A is Davao City. If the way it is run is not fit for a national strategy … then look for somebody else who can do it.”

Duterte running: He is the issue MIND DA NEWS

BY PATRICIO P. DIAZ presidency, Davao is Exhibit ‘A’. He elaborated, “If there comes a time when I arrive in Pasig, I won’t promise heaven. But everyone will have the freedom to walk the streets safely at night. Either I deliver that or I resign,” – punctuated with warning to drug lords and other criminals to go somewhere or else they risk getting killed. His ‘Exhibit A’ is undeniable – the envy of other cities. But the issue is: Can he do for the entire Philippines what he has done for Davao City? Has he the personality to do it? This makes Duterte the big election issue. After the filing of candidacy closed last October 16, Maria Ressa of Rappler.com interviewed Duterte revealing his personality. Published in three parts, Part 1 focused on “his 6 contradictions and planned dictatorship” (October 26, 2015, Updated October 29); Part 2, on his “end game for leadership” (October 28, 2015, Updated November 22); Part 3, the full interview entitled “The Leader I Want: Leadership, Duterte-style”, (October 29, 2015). As introduced in Part 3: (1) Duterte is “Davao City mayor, federalism advocate, and reluctant presidential bet”. (2) He is “a man of contradictions. He curses profusely but is congenial and charming. He is a self-declared leftist but has no qualms enforcing a dictatorship”. (3) “He calls for people to follow the rule of law but has taken the law into his own hands.” The intro ends with the big issue: “Is the Philippines ready for a Duterte leadership?”

Following are his six contradictions: Contradiction 1: Breaking the law. “Brusque but charming and confident, Duterte is a man of contradictions, starting with his insistence on maintaining the rule of law while at the same time being equally adamant about breaking the law to bring order.” Contradiction 2: Are all killers equal? “Not all killers are equal and motives matter.” On “why he has at the very least supported extrajudicial killings”, proud that “he belongs to the Left”, he distinguishes criminals from the rebels, saying, ‘One is for pocket, and the other one is ideology’, and the rebels are ‘fighting as a matter of principle’; ‘the criminals … line their pockets for … [p]ersonal gain. There’s no redeeming factor in killing people, robbing them, raping them’.” Contradiction 3: Leftist and dictator. “The selfconfessed leftist admits he is a dictator. It’s clear he has a vision for the country and that he built it on his lessons learned as Davao’s leader. The Philippines under Duterte’s leadership would

His endgame for leadership has the following mix: (1) Establish the rule of law. He likens the Philippines today to the United States in the 1920s and early 1930s when gangsters, robber barons, labor sweatshops and corruptions were rampant. He must mean the criminality, drug lords, low minimum wage, smuggling and corruption in the Philippines now. In the U.S., the solution was to establish the rule of law. He implies that in the Philippines laws are allowed to be violated not to rule. (2) If he wins, he will establish a dictatorship that would discipline Filipinos, establish law and order, eradicate corruption, and bring growth and development. Build institutions that reward doing the right thing. Filipinos are frustrated by the perennial problems that never seem to find a solution. The solution is in the question: Does the Philippines need democracy or discipline? Ironically, most Filipinos agree that the country needs both. Are they mutually exclusive? Obviously, his answer is “NO”; (3) Strong leadership: Duterte seems to be the latest reincarnation of the yearning of Filipinos for a strong leader. When asked what type of leader the Philippines needs now, he pointed to Ferdinand Marcos minus the corruption. In his

HANOI

The flavors of It’s no secret, Vietnam is one of my favorite places to visit. I love the history, the streets and of course, the food. I love the many colors and flavours of Vietnam that I am always craving for a bite – or two – of anything that will remind me of Vietnam. In Davao, Hanoi Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant has been a personal favorite for years now. Why? I love the place, the name and of course, their many delectable dishes. Also, their serving is big thus perfect for sharing with family and friends. Of their extensive menu, what do I love most? The crabs! Yes, the many sumptuous and delicious faces of crabs as transformed by their executive chef is something

that I always look forward to. I love the crispy yet succulent texture of the crabs. Not to mention, the many sauces ad styles of cooking that comes with it. Aside from the crabs, I also love their spring rolls. Fresh spring rolls filled with herbs, vegetables and shrimp wrapped in rice paper is just so perfect after a long tiring day. I also love the sauces – especially their peanut sauce that’s crunchy, sweet and savory, all at the same time.

Garlic and Butter Crab is a plate of sauteed crabs in butter and minced garlic browned to perfection. The pairing of butter and garlic is just so divine. Perfect with the crab. Sweet and Spicy Crab is sauteed crabs with blended sauce that’ll remind you of the streets of Vietnam on a bright, sunny day. It’s rustic taste makes the crabs stand out thus making you eat more than ever. With this, you’d surely have to eat with your bare hands.

Cari Do Bien or seafood platter of clams, shrimp, squid and crabs simmered in a well seasoned curry sauce is one dish I’d happily eat on a weekly basis. Yes, it’s packed with meaty seafood finds but more so, the curry sauce is just so fragrant and savory you’d end up craving for more. Goi Cuon is their fresh spring rolls filled with shrimp, herbs and vegetables wrapped in rice paper and served with Hanoi’s peanut sauce. This reminds me of when

I braved eating streetside – but with a most amazing view of the Notre Dame Cathedral at Ho Chi Minh on my left and the CBTL shop on my right. Yes, I was at a crossroad! Ga Xao Hot Dieu is their plate of chicken with mango, vegetables and cashew nuts that’s just love at first bite. The pairings of food flavors enables you to take a bite after another... non-stop. I found that the sauce from the Cari Do Bien makes for a best dip for this. Citrus Herb Juice is one of my personal favorites. Whenever I’m out, I always look for drinks with herbs and this one hits the right spots. This healthy and refreshing pitcher of fruit juices infused with mint leaves is just what you need after their hearty menu. Hanoi Vietnamese Cuisine is located at the Ayala Abreeza Mall and J. Camus Street, Davao City. Facebook: https:// www.facebook.com/hanoidavao/ Make #TheRoyalChef your Thursday habit. Tag me on instagram (@theroyalchefleebai) for your delicious food finds!

EVENT

Waterfront brings hope for the holidays With its time-honored tradition of sharing Christmas with individuals who need caring, the Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao held their simple yet fun-filled Christmas tree lighting ceremony together with the Davao Children’s Cancer Fund, Inc. last November 25. As is tradition, Christmas Tree ornaments will be put up for sale and for every ornament bought and hung on the Christmas Tree, a portion of its sale shall be donated to the foundation in the hopes of aiding a child’s fight against cancer. Upping the ante this year, the coastal-inspired decors brought about a cool and fresh ambiance, enhancing the merry spirit of the season. Inspired by the wonders and beauty of the sea and since the hotel is the only Waterfront hotel located beside the sea, the iconic destination put up ornaments, wreaths and garlands adorned with the ocean’s beautiful representations. The gigantic, 15 foot-tall Christmas Tree itself is decked with remnants of the sea’s bounty to help bring in a coastal ambiance and an awareness that the magnificence of the vast oceans can be lost

to us if not taken care of. “We wanted to also bring to light the awareness of the plight of our coasts and the beauty of the sea. We are, after all, situated right by the Davao gulf,” said Jennifer R. Romero, the dynamic Sales and Marketing Manager. The hotel also partnered with the Davao Camera Club to hold a photo exhibit showcasing their best shots of marine scenery. Each photo will be put up for sale at Php 3,000.00, a portion of which will be donated to the Davao Children’s

Cancer Fund, Inc. The partnership between the Davao Children’s Cancer Fund, Inc. and Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao is now on its 8th straight year and still going strong. Which is why for the first time ever, the kids from the House of Hope were invited to join in the customary ceremony. Both the kids and the party guests were treated to show-stopping performances by the Sining Tala Dance Company, melodic renditions by the Davao City Girls Choir of Davao City National High School and the hotel’s very own harmonic Insulares Chorale. Stilt walkers, cyclists, and a carnival show also delighted the guests, young and old, while enjoying the delicious cocktails prepared by the award-winning culinary team of Waterfront Insular Hotel that is headed by the charismatic Executive Chef Victor D. Barangan.

Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali encourage reading through ‘Pass-A-Book ni BiGuel’ project

KAPUSO teen love team Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali visited Commonwealth Elementary School today, November 27, for their ‘PassA-Book ni BiGuel’ campaign. The Ismol Family stars came to collect books from the kids while also giving the students new reads in exchange for their donation. “‘Pass-A-Book ni BiGuel’ is all about a campaign na nanghihikayat ng kabataan na magbasa ng libro. Kasi, digital age na ngayon, kaya dapat mahikayat natin ang kabataan na magbasa ulit ng libro kasi marami kang matutunan sa books,” Miguel explained. “Pinapaikot naming yung mga libro. Nangungulekta kami sa mga nagdo-donate ng books. Then, yung

mga naco-collect namin, pinapamigay namin sa iba nang estudyante. Kailangan lang din nila mag-donate,” he added. Bianca then simply added, “So, kumbaga, from one campus to another yung books. So umiikot yung mga libro.” The Kapuso Primetime

Prince and Princess also held a storytelling session on stage. The two told the life story of GMA Network Inc.’s Chairman and CEO, Atty. Felipe Gozon. Afterwards, they took group photos with the kids and even signed the books they gave to the children.

“Para sa akin, masaya [yung experience,] kasi kami ni Bianca mahilig kami magbasa. So, alam naming yung makakatangap ng libro [magiging masaya rin.] Nararamdaman namin sila,” Miguel relayed. “Masaya talaga! Kasi kumbaga yung paborito naming gawin na-sheshare namin sa ibang bata. Masaya yung nagpa-partcipate sila sa advocacy namin because this is actually the easiest way para magkaroon kami ng communication with the kids [to motivate them to read.] “Kinakausap namin sila about reading, mas ma-e-explain namin sa kanila through this project so mas mainfluence pa namin sila na magbasa,” Bianca concluded. Miguel and Bianca also are currently busy shooting for GMA’s upcoming romantic drama, Wish I May.

ASUS collaborates with country’s premier icons for design and style ASUS Philippines has joined forces with the crème de la crème of the country’s creative elite to encourage more Filipinos to showcase the diverse beauty of local culture, as well as their unique eye for design, for the #ZenLooks competition. Internationally acclaimed and multi-awarded industrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue and style authorities David Guison and Arisse de Santos are onboard to help amplify the call for their fellow Filipinos to join in by creating their own designs for this competition, which invites individuals to submit an original case design for the ZenFone 2 inspired by the Philippines’ national colors. Fresh from accolades received for the outstanding venue design Kenneth Cobonpue conceptualized for the recently-concluded and highly-publicized APEC 2015, Cobonpue focuses his attention on the shades and shapes of nature as his design inspirations for #ZenLooks. As his way of reminding himself that the Philippines has so much to offer in terms of beauty and travel experiences, David

Guison zoomed in on the Kapupurawan rock formation in Ilocos Norte, admittedly also one of his favorite scenes, for his case design. A travel enthusiast himself, he reveals, “I always feel the need to document everything, so this image is a note to myself that there are 7,107 islands in the Philippines to explore.” Lifestyle blogger, Arisse de Santos, harnessed her love for watercolors in her ZenFone 2 case design. Commenting on the strong platform the competition provides for creative

self-expression, de Santos says, “#ZenLooks is a great springboard for Filipinos to showcase their skills and creativity, not to mention pay tribute to the beauty of our country for the whole world to see. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re encouraged to do this with the ZenFone 2, which is classy and sleek and can match any personality or mood.” With influential and talented Filipinos the likes of Cobonpue, Guison, and de Santos now joining the campaign, ASUS Philippines Marketing Manager Jamie

Zaldivar is confident that the competition will see an increasing representation of Filipino creative minds. “To date, we have already received over 4,000 amazing case design submissions from the Philippines,” she says. “We have always experienced great support from Filipinos every time we launch global and regional campaigns, and this is certainly no different. It’s a great testament of how we as a people are passionate about being part of a creative movement.”

With just a few days to go before the competition comes to a close, Zaldivar calls on Filipinos to get creative and join in. “Not only will you get to express yourself and your love for your country – you’ll also get to share it with the world. Plus, awesome prizes from ASUS Philippines are up at stake.” These include a ZenFone 2 deluxe (worth Php17,995) and the limited edition case designed by CutiePieMarzia for weekly winners; and, if chosen as the Grand Winner, the chance to collaborate with the ASUS design team to have his or her winning case design manufactured. Zaldivar concludes, “We hope that Kenneth, David, and Arisse’s designs will inspire other Filipinos to keep the entries coming. We are so excited to have these three onboard as together, they represent and advocate the best of Filipino design, style, and culture, culled from their individual perspectives and experiences.” Deadline for submission for the #ZenLooks design challenge is December 6.

Driz said police operatives in the city continue to combat all forms of criminality, especially with the implementation of ‘Lambat Sibat’ of the program Philippine National Police (PNP). She said it is the prerogative of Erice to show his list since it is his data , although Driz said the lawmaker must make sure that this comes from the PNP central office in Camp Crame. Driz said the data from PNPcentral office are more credible because all the police offices in the country will submit their reports there. “Mas maganda po kung yung records niya ay galing sa Camp Crame kas ilahat na reports ay sina-submit doon (It will be better if his records come from Camp Crame because all reports are submitted in that office),” she said. The PNP central office has yet to release any list of ranking of the highest crime rate in the Philippines and better for the people to wait for the official list, according to Driz. In a report from Inquirer. net, Erice revealed the crime data for 2014 that listed Davao as the city having the fourth highest crime volume in the Philippines with 18,119 cases in a year. Quezon City recorded the highest crime volume for last year with 40,433 cases. Next to QC is the city of Manila with Property Owner

22,778 cases, and Zamboanga City with 19,089 cases. But, records from the DCPO showed a decrease in the crime rate in the city this year compared to last year’s statistics. Based on the January to September record, there are 10,362 total crime volumes this year compared to 13,039 recorded last year, or adecrease of 20.5 percent. On index crime, the city recorded 3,870 cases in the first nine months this year compared to the 5,935 last year, or a 34.8 percent decrease.Index crime refers to the crimes such as theft, murder, physical injuries, homicide, rape, robbery and many more. Davao also recorded low non-index crime at 6,492 cases, lower compared to the 7,104 last year or 8.6 percent decrease.Non-index crime refers to the case such as special laws, estafa, kidnapping, and car theft. The latest survey of Numbe.com, a crowd-sourced global database of reported consumer prices, perceived crime rates, quality of health care, other statistics, also claimed that the city is safe. In their statistics as of November this year, the city has 88.07 percent safety walking alone rate during daylight while 80.01 percent during night. The city also has a very

Hornido also challenged the local health officers to improve more their services as 10 indicators fell short of the 2006 national targets. “But some of these indicators can be easily attained if the local chief executives are in support on the health sec-

The object and purpose of the Charter, as well as those of the Convention, are far from irrelevant. These purposes include the maintenance and strengthening

of international peace and security. Nothing would contribute more to these objectives than the Tribunal’s finding that China’s rights and obligations are neither more nor less than those established by UNCLOS. And that the entitlements of the tiny insular features it claims are limited to 12 M,” he said.

DCWD’s Indangan Production Well will be affected by Davao Light and Power Company’s power interruption on said date which is needed to facilitate the relocation of its poles along Indangan Road. Although the power cut is shorter in duration, DCWD needs additional time for re-switching on of the affected facility, pressure build up and line delivery, thus the longer duration of water service interruption. Second set is on December 4 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM affecting Brgy. Langub, Shrine Hills and Royal Pines in Matina. DCWD crew will tap the newly installed 100mm diameter Polyvinyl Chloride pipeline to the existing 150mm diameter Mortar Line Coated Steel Pipe for the mainline improvement at Surveyor Street in Green Crest Subd. Once completed, said project will allow for accommodation of additional service connections. Third set is from 8:00 PM of December 5 until 2:00 AM of December 6 affecting these areas in Bajada: entire Car-

melite Road, Hillside Subd. and immediate environs. This water service interruption is needed to give way to the installation of gate valves and bypass pipe for the District Metered Area at Hillside Subd. to help reduce non-revenue water. DCWD general manager Edwin V. Regalado asks for the understanding and cooperation of would be affected customers. He also advises them to store enough water prior to the scheduled water interruptions. Water supply may be restored earlier if work goes smoothly or later if unforeseen problems arise. The general public may visit DCWD website (www. davao-water.gov.ph) and official Facebook page (www. facebook.com/davaowater) or call the Central Information Unit / Call Center through the 24-hour hotline 297-DCWD (3293) and press “1” on their phone dial to listen to latest daily water updates. They may also call / text 09277988966, 0925-5113293 and 0908-4410653 for other updates, complaints, queries and matters pertaining to DCWD services. (Jamae G. Dela Cruz)

because of the assistance from DSWD. We did not only have the goods but DSWD workers arrived as well, providing personal touch, Frasco emphasized. “DSWD did not only end in providing shelter but delivered livelihood as well where the community was really involved and where people learned to work together.” New Bataan Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer for 17 years Beverly Jane B. Dela Peňa narrated: I immediately texted DSWD when it happened. I remember I typed, “Need help, water food.” DSWD staffs came with food. It was also DSWD that installed the systems –evacuation, DAFAC (Disaster Assistance Family Access Card) forms, camp management with Pantawid MLs (municipal links). Even personnel from DSWD Central Office and from other regions came to assist and augment. Further, Mayor Lorenzo L. Balbin Jr of New Bataan said, “DSWD conducted stress debriefing in the gym. There is continuity of assistance. Programs and projects for recovery and rehabilitation were pushed like livelihood and shelter. We now have Kalahi-CIDSS. The number of families under Pantawid Pamilya has expanded to 4000 plus. And we still have Supplementary Feeding and Social Pension.” More support

A very big role was played by DSWD including provision of emotional support, stress debriefing and other interventions. The approaches and processes used were relevant especially in the emotional and physical recovery, financial and shelter assistance, stressed Engr. Lolito P. Campos, Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator of New Bataan town. Montevista Mayor Eutropio S. Jayectin pointed out that DSWD delivered the most services –shelter, livelihood. “DSWD workers are a big help too. We got enough from DSWD. We now have Kalahi-CIDSS with P45 million, livelihood, Social Pension, Supplementary Feeding. All these are advantageous to us. We recovered fast with all the assistance we got.” “We were treated well. We were provided shelters and we are very happy. We are doing better with the continuing programs of DSWD. A number of houses have been constructed here and we have far better houses now compared before when our roof was only made of cogon. We really feel the support and the great love of DSWD to Dalaguete, exclaimed Barangay Chair Jolly K. Salvador of Dalaguete, Montevista.

DOLE regional offices in these regions as part of their celebration of the DOLE’s 82nd Foundation Anniversary. Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz said announced that the three DOLE regional offices, to include Region 6, will mount the job fairs in cooperation with their respective Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs) to encourage more job fair participants to take advantage of the opportunity. “In Region 11 the job fair will be held at the Abreeza Mall in Davao City on 8 December, while in Region 12, the job fair will be staged at KCC Mall of Marbel, City of Koronadal on 8 December and M’lang, North Cotabato on 10 December,” she said. Baldoz urged job seekers in these regions to go to these job fairs and try their luck in finding local and overseas jobs. As in the past, she reminded job seekers to prepare their basic application documents, such as personal data sheets, diplomas, training certificates, certificates of employment (for

non-first time job seekers, if any), NBI and PNP clearances, SSS, Phil-Health, and Pag-IBIG membership cards, medical clearances, and the like. The conduct of job fairs is the DOLE’s employment facilitation strategy to bring under one roof employers who are looking for qualified workers and workers looking for jobs. “Job fairs are convenient, time-saving, and inexpensive activities to facilitate the meeting of workers and employers. They are more economically-beneficial and aims to hasten job search,” she said. Baldoz has expressed excitement over the 82nd DOLE Foundation Anniversary, saying it is a very important milestone for the DOLE and its officials and employees. She also said that while this year’s DOLE’s celebratory activities will focus on the employees and officials of the DOLE as a demonstration of the Department’s concern for its people, its best resource, the job fairs seeks to make workers a part of the celebration.

HE country’s final hope in the 2015 Spike for Peace International Beach Volleyball Tournament went down on Tuesday as Philippines-A was eliminated following a 21-14, 2110 loss to Spain at the Philsports Arena. The tandem of Amaranta Fernandez and Ester Ribera blasted the Filipina pair of Charo Soriano and Alexa Micek in just 29 minutes to advance to the quarterfinals. As easy as it looked, Fernandez, who finished with 19 points, including four service aces, said the Filipinas pushed them to their limit. “No it wasn’t easy, that game we still have to focus, we needed to push until the final,” she said. Spain finished with an

even 1-1 slate in the eliminations for a three-way logjam with Netherlands and Australia B on top of Group A. Coach Oliver Almadro admitted the Filipinas are still far behind the level of play of their Spanish opponents. “Ang lalaki nila and masyado pa tayong malayo sa level nila,” he said. Philippines-A ended its campaign in the tournament winless after losing to Thailand and New Zealand in Group D. Earlier eliminated was Philippines B, which also finished with a 0-3 slate in Group C as the tandem of Danika Gendrauli ad Norie Jane Diaz fell victim to heavyweight teams Japan, Sweden, and Brazil.

Alyssa under fire A

TENEO team manager Tony Liao has confirmed that Alyssa Valdez will play for PLDT Home Ultera in Game Two of the Shakey’s V-League Season 12 Reinforced Conference on Sunday

despite opposition from the school. Valdez had sat out the entire tournament until she defied Ateneo officials’ order by coming off the bench to lead the Ultra Fast Hitters to the Game One win over Philippine Army. Liao said the two-time UAAP MVP is looking to lead the charge when

PLDT tries to close out the best-of-three Finals series in Game Two. “The school admin didn’t want her to play but she wants to play,” Liao, who is also V-League commissioner, told Spin.ph. Ricky Palou, head of organizing Sports Vision and at the same time Ateneo’s representative to the UAAP board, explained

that Ateneo officials want to keep Valdez fresh for the coming UAAP season. Despite Saturday’s incident, Liao said Valdez has been training regularly with the Lady Eagles since. Liao also believes Ateneo won’t sanction the player. “I don’t think they (Ateneo) will do that (sanction),” he said.

MX3 Kings in turmoil, 3 players agree to buyouts

IVE top players of Asean Basketball League (ABL) side Pilipinas MX3 Kings have agreed to buyouts of their contracts as losses and turmoil continue to hound the team’s first season in the regional league. PBA veterans Sunday Salvacion, Jondan Salvador, Chad Alonzo, Emerson Oreta and Adriann Celada have agreed to buyouts equivalent to one-and-a-half month pay than agree to a considerable pay cut in the duration of their six-month contracts. The Kings management is also

in negotiations with another former PBA forward, Carlo Sharma, on a similar buyout. The buyouts come just weeks after a split between businessman Dick Balajadia and former co-owner Manny Pacquiao led to the resignation of head coach Zaldy Realubit. “Wala na, kinagat na naming ‘yung buyout. Walang nangyayari eh. Magulo ang management dun, parang wala na ring patutunguhan,” said Salvador, a former enforcer of the Purefoods franchise in the PBA. Salvador bared he was forced

Gasol fires 38, leads Grizzlies past Pelicans

ARC Gasol scored a career-high 38 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the New Orleans Pelicans, 113-104, on Tuesday night (Wednesday, Manila time). New Orleans lost despite the return of starting guard Tyreke Evans and top reserve Norris Cole. Evans was the Pelicans’ best offensive player with 20 points and 10 assists, but that wasn’t enough to overcome a Memphis squad that scored 52 points in the paint and missed only one of 26 free throws. Gasol was 11 of 22 from the field and made all 16 of his foul shots. Zach Randolph added 14 points, while Courtney Lee and Matt Barnes scored 13 each.

Anthony Davis had 17 points, 14 rebounds and career high-tying nine blocked shots for the Pelicans. But he struggled with his shooting, going 4 of 15 from the field and 8 of 13 on free throws. Ryan Anderson scored 16 for New Orleans, which has lost three straight, while Jrue Holiday had 12 points. Cole finished with 11 points but missed nine of 12 shots and was 2 of 7 from 3-point range. Mario Chalmers and Mike Conley each scored 11 for Memphis, which outshot New Orleans 47.8 percent (43 of 90) to 43.2 percent (35 of 81). The Grizzlies trailed most of the first half and did not lead by more than six until the fourth quarter, when they were the more composed team.

Energized initially by the return of two key players, the Pelicans led by as many as 14 on Cole’s 3-pointer to start the second. Memphis then began to chip away, hitting 14 of its first 18 shots in the quarter. The Grizzlies needed about seven minutes to completely erase their deficit, taking a 54-53 lead on Vince Carter’s tip-in. After shooting 70 percent (14 of 20) in the first, the Pelicans went 8 of 22 in the second period. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies’ lead grew to 60-55 on Gasol’s 16-foot fadeaway, giving him 22 points in the half. New Orleans then surged back into the lead with an 8-0 run that included Anderson’s dunk and 3-pointer, and the Pelicans led 65-64 at halftime.

Minnesota had it tied with 4:30 to play, but went 3:40 without a bucket late in the fourth. The Magic won their previous three games by spreading the ball around on offense and clamping down defensively with tenacity on the perimeter and strength in the paint. All that was on display in the first half Tuesday night, when they jumped on a Timberwolves team that

has not played with the same energy at home that it has on the road. The Wolves missed 12 of their first 14 shots, and Evan Fournier and Vucevic pushed Orlando out to a 12-4 lead. Minnesota shot just 24 percent in the first quarter and turned the ball over nine times in the first half to fall behind by as many as 15 points. Kevin Martin, who came into the game shooting a ghastly 24 percent over the previous eight, finally got going with 13 points in the third quarter to make things interesting.

Magic hold off Wolves 96-93 N

IKOLA Vucevic had 18 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, and the Orlando Magic won their fourth straight game with a 96-93 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night (Wednesday, Manila time).
