100 kilos marihuana bricks, kinumpiska ti polis-La Union JPE raises concern over trend to buy off candidates

4 lallaki, naaresto iti police checkpoint

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile yesterday warned the people against picking candidates who use their wealth to be elected in office amid a series of allegations against Senator Manuel Villar of offering money and key position to rival presidential bets in exchange for their withdrawal from the race.

“You know it’s dangerous for people to spend too much money to attain an elective position,” Enrile told reporters in an interview in Cebu.

“I think it’s better that the people would know this so they can judge each one of the candidates for the presidency… I cannot believe a person, who will spend a fortune which cannot be attained by many Filipinos, would do it only for public service. There must be something, more interesting motivation behind it,” said Enrile, who is running for reelection under the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP).

Senator Richard Gordon, who is seeking the highest elective post under Bagumbayan Party, had revealed that an alleged emissary of Villar, standard bearer of Nacionalista Party, offered to reimburse his campaign expenses and to appoint him to a Cabinet position of his choice if he would exit from the presidential race.

Gordon also said that at the height of the investigation into the controverial C-5 project he was approached to withdraw his support for Enrile to re-

Blasts Arroyo for current power woes, no to emergency powers

Aquino pushes for expansion of geothermal production TACLOBAN CITY — Liberal Party standard bearer Noynoy Aquino yesterday pushed for the expansion of renewable energy sources, saying that the country should aim to become the world’s largest producer of geothermal energy.

He also decried the failure of the Arroyo administration to properly manage the country’s existing power generation capacities resulting in the current power shortages.

“She has been in power for almost nine years, and yet here

we are facing brownouts during a crucial election season,” the 50-year old senator from Tarlac said in press conference here.

“This is criminal negligence.

We know that El Nino was going to visit the country. They knew that Mindanao was going to have a power supply problem. They should have mapped out a plan earlier on,” Aquino said.

He pointed out it would take two to three years to build a power plant. But he acknow-

ledged that there are largecapacity generators which government can buy to address the lack of supply.

“Mahal patakbuhin, mahal bilhin (generators). At sa last 2 minutes, masyadong midnight deal na di natin matiyak ano ang pakay,” Aquino said.

He also said that while he is open to a special session of Congress to discuss a possible grant of emergency powers to President Arroyo, Malacañang must first answer questions on PAGE 8

Binay vows to fight smuggling of bawang United Opposition (UNO) vice presidential bet and Makati Mayor Jojo Binay yesterday vowed to put a stop to the unabated smuggling of garlic that is hurting the farmers of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte, the country’s primary producers of the cash crop.

In a radio interview in Vigan, Binay explained that the rampant smuggling of garlic was also depriving the national coffers of millions of pesos in potential revenue, which can be tapped to finance various local government projects. “’Yang smuggling, naaapektuhan niyan ang Ilocos Region, lalo na ng smuggling ng bawang,” Binay said, as he promised to help the farmers to protect the P600-million garlic industry.

An estimate by Alyansa Agrikultura shows that as much as P10 billion in tax revenue is lost due to smuggling of

vegetables products, including garlic.

Some 926,640 kilos of fresh vegetables were smuggled into the country in 2003 alone, and 716,000 kilos of which were garlic, while total garlic imports reached 18,000 tons during the same period with a value of $3.7 million.

Region 1 is the top producer of garlic in the country. In 2008, over 70 percent of the total volume of garlic produced in the country came from region, with Ilocos Norte providing the largest yield in terms of production.

Farmers have repeatedly appealed to the Arroyo administration to minimize the importation of garlic along with onion which, coupled with smuggling, continued to drive down the prices of these two agricultural crops in the market.

1 st Reading: Jos 5:9a, 10-12

Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have removed from you the shame of Egypt.” So the place is called Gilgal up to this day. The Israelites encamped in Gilgal where they celebrated the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho. On the following day, they ate of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain on that very day. And from that day on when they ate of the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, and that year they ate of the land of Canaan.

2 nd Reading: 2 Cor 5:17-21

The one who is in Christ is a new creature. For him the old things have passed away; a new world has come. All this is the work of God who in Christ reconciled us to himself, and who entrusted to us the ministry of reconciliation. Because in Christ, God reconciled the world with himself no longer taking into account their trespasses and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we present ourselves as ambassadors in the name of Christ, as if God himself makes an appeal to you through us. Let God reconcile you; this we ask of you in the name of Christ. He had no sin, but God made him bear our sin, so that in him we might share the holiness of God. Gospel: Lk 15:1-3, 11-32*

Tax collectors and sinners were seeking the company of Jesus, all of them eager to hear what he had to say. But the Pharisees and the scribes frowned at this, muttering. “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So Jesus told them this parable: “There was a man with two sons.

The younger said to his father: ‘Give me my share of the estate.’ So the father divided his property between them.

“Some days later, the younger son gathered all his belongings and started off for a distant land where he squandered his wealth in loose living. Having spent everything, he was hard pressed when a severe famine broke out in that land. ... Finally coming to his senses, he said: ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will get up and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against God and before you. ...

“He was still a long way off when his father caught sight of him. His father was so deeply moved with compassion that he ran out to meet him, threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. The son said: ‘Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you. I no longer deserve to be called your son...’ But the father turned to his servants: ‘Quick!

Bring out the finest robe and put it on him. ... We shall celebrate and have a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and is found.’... Meanwhile, the elder son had been working in the fields. As he returned and was near the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. He called one of the servants and asked what it was all about. The servant answered: ‘Your brother has come home safe and sound and your father is so happy about it that he has ordered this celebration and killed the fattened calf.’

“The elder son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and pleaded with him. ... The father said: ‘My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But this brother of yours was dead, and has come back to life. He was lost and is found. And for that we had to rejoice and be glad.”

Reflections “This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them.”

The Jesus who welcomes us with all our secret failures, all our lukewarm hearts, into the Kingdom expects us to do the same for those around us who are also weak and exposed by their weaknesses for all to see. (Daily Gospel 2010, CLARETIAN PUBLICATIONS)

Iti dayta a rabii, nagsasangokami kada Marlon iti barangay hall.

Nagpakawan ni Marlon gapu iti inaramidna.

“Desididoak a mangitakder iti inaramidko,” kinunana. “Uray agkallaysakamin ken ni Marlyn no umannugot.”

“Ania ti makunam, balasangko?” inamad ti barangay kapitan.

“No maikarikami, tinongentayon ti kallaysa tatta a rabii,” kinuna ti ama ni Marlon. “Ania ti makunam, pari?” tinaliawna ni tatang.

“Saanmi a bibiangan ti pagayatan ti anakmi,” insungbat ni tatang. “Itedmi kenkuana ti wayawaya a mangikeddeng. No ania ti kunana, isu ti masurot.”

Naiturong amin a mata kaniak. Immangesak iti nauneg.

“Pakawanek ni Marlon iti inaramidna,” insungbatko. “Ngem iti sanguananyo, putdek metten ti relasionmi. Itedkon kenkuana ti wayawaya a bumirok iti sabali.”

Saan a nakatimek ni Marlon.

“Agyamanak ketdi ta ita ta nasapa pay, nakitakon ti pudpudno a kinatao ti lalaki a nangitalekak iti ayatko. Nagbiddutak gayam a nangitalek iti ayatko kenkuana.”

“Dinak la kadin mapakawan?” nakuna ni Marlon. “Naaramidko daydiay gapu iti pammategko kenka.”

“Ti ayat, kas iti bunga a masapul a paluomem iti pammateg tapno agbalin a nasam-it,” nakunak. “Naamiriskon a saantanto nga agkatunosan no agtipontan iti maymaysa a balay. Isu nga ita ta nasapa pay, putdentan ti karita iti tunggal maysa.”

Timmakderak. Timmakder metten ni tatang sa nagpakada ken ni barangay kapitan.

Iti dayta a rabii, sinangitak ti nagbanagan ti ayatko...

Ditoyen a gibusak ti pakasaritaan ti ayatko, Manong Danny.

Ngem sakbay a pumakadaak, kayatko nga ibaga a sangsangpetmi ken ni Steve manipud iti Hawaii a nagbakasionanmi iti nasurok tallo a bulan.

Wen, sinungbatak ni Steve kalpasan ti dandani makatawen a panagdatonna kaniak. Iti dayta a naunday a panawen, saan a nagliway a nangipamatmat ti pammategna. Naimpusuan ti panagayatna, banag a diak nakita ken ni Marlon.

Kalkalpas laeng ti panangselebrarmi iti umuna a tawen nga anibersario ti kasarmi. Adu ti sangaili ni lakay a taga-ili. Dandani met nakumbidar amin a kalugarak.

Diak nakita ni Marlon. Ngem maysa a gayyemko ti nangikissiim nga adda metten asawana, ni Ising, kalugaranmi met laeng.

Rural bankers try carving niche in OFW market

by Jeremaiah M. Opiniano OFW Journalism Consortium (LAST PART) Bagasao said Ercof took the safer but slower boat by linking OFWs to 15 “stable” rural banks.

Data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reveals there are 648 rural banks in 75 provinces.

If some of these remittances are saved and invested in rural banks, Bagasao said these remittances can help generate jobs since rural banks are mandated by law to invest their income and offer loans in the rural areas where they operate.

An Ercof report wrote that these banks, including Bank Victorias, have a branch network collectively covering over-220 branches found in 44 provinces.

These banks have collective resources worth P149.4 billion, or 13 percent of the resources of the Philippine rural banking industry, the report added.

Have money, won’t borrow LINDA said she participated in the dialogue with the rural bankers to know if she can make money out of her inheritance to bankroll her home renovation project.

Likewise, she also plans to put up a coffee shop.

Marivic Valencia said as an observation that ex-OFWs like Linda and wives of OFWs like her dive into business sans having the skills.

Marivic admits they need people who can become their financial coach.

She said the coaching that occurred during the dialogue organized by Bangko Kabayan in Batangas was helpful.

A bank manager, for example, advised Linda to open a one-year time deposit, send the money via mobile phone, and withdraw proceeds of her

time deposit also through her mobile phone.

The manager’s additional advice: “If you want to pursue your coffee shop business, be visible to customers and be hands-on in the business.”

Bagasao said by advising OFWs and OFW families in their financial needs and aspirations, rural banks can remain stable and create a resilient customer base.

That is also expected by OFW family members like Shirley Buenaflor from Rosario municipality in Batangas.

Buenaflor dreams of running a business out of some savings coming from her Saudi Arabia-based husband’s remittances, but she doesn’t know how to run one.

Buenaflor told a Bangko Kabayan staff: “I hope you can help us every step of the way.”

“No other financial institution knows the needs of rural folk and could offer friendly and personalized services than grassroots financial institutions such as rural banks, whose management and staff live in the same neighborhoods as OFWs,” Bagasao said.

He says Ercof is optimistic the dialogues, which are part of the Bayaning Bayanihan awareness campaign of the consortium of 15 banks and of Ercof, will enhance the relationship between rural bankers and their clients.

According to briefing materials, the campaign will stress the strategic role of

rural banks in countryside development.

WITH THIS MLE TURN, NOW WE MAKE THE ROAD WHILE WALKING: OUR TASK AT NAKEM AND AT THE UH ILOKANO PROGRAM UNTIL 2015

By Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili University of Hawaii (Presented at the 1st MLE Conference, “Reclaiming the Right to Learn in One’s Own Language,” Capitol University, Cagayan de Oro City, Feb 18-20, 2010.)

Introduction: We Make the Road The poet Antonio Machado the liberation educationist Paulo Freire loves to quote talks of the road we must make, one that does not exist prior to our journey. “Caminante,” he admonishes the traveler, “son tus hellas el camino, y nada mas; caminante, no hay camino, se hay camino al andar.” (“Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking.”)1 Indeed, this is true for us at Nakem Conferences advocating for cultural citizenship, cultural nationalism and pluralism, education to social justice and democracy, and diversity.

There never was anyone ready to point out to us where the road to this advocacy is to be found. The reason is simple: there was no road to point.

The whole history of Philippine basic education— and equally worse, Philippine higher education—is a

history of struggle for the recognition of, and respect for, our cultural and linguistic rights as a people from the peripheries of a land appropriated by the hegemonic center for reasons that are never ours. Up until today, it is a struggle fraught with the vagaries of education regimes that run the gamut from the faddish to the imitative—from what is the newest theory from the West to what we can do to follow the Western educators and validate, in our local settings, what they are talking about. It has been an educational set-up that has left us with a tacit knowledge: if it were not from the West it does not have any validity, meaning, and relevance.

These education regimes, intricately linked with political leadership, have all but made our educational goals something arbitrary, at the whim and caprice of those in power, and at the mercy of those who should know better than anyone on the street.

Because of this, the future of our people has always been unstable and uncertain and vague such that those who could come up with the most fanciful set of experiments under the guise of employability for our graduates and their capacity to speak English would be the one to

gain the upper hand in directing our educational system. Add this up: those who could come up with an education concept that valorizes nationalism without elaborating what that is are also given easy access to the educational resources even if such a concept is based on the entitlement and valorization of a single language at the expense of the other languages of the country.

In sum, what we have seen so far is that we have deprived our people of their right to be educated in their own language.

These education regimes, I must say, have forgotten as well that technicism 2—this penchant for what oen can do in keeping with the technical requisites of the globalized world—is not what education makes.

As Ilokano educators, we have this to say: we have lent our names and supported these education regimes and this technicism that these regimes spawned.

As Ilokano educators, we are a terrible lot, proud of our pathetically small and selfserving achievements, like our near-native ability to speak academic English and our competence to speak Tagalog like a pro, and yet unable to speak, with confidence and pride and intellectual rigor in the language of our own

people. We must say this now in the spirit of public admission of our social sin of omission: that many of us Ilokano academics today have been reduced to illiterates in our language.

We are unable to read in Ilokano with dolce and delight.

We are unable to read our literature with critical ability.

We are unable to write and make permanent our reflections about life in the language of our people so that in this permanency, the future generations will have a way to access our thoughts.

We are equally unable to speak our own language—we now refuse to speak it because it reminds us that we will remain promdi3 and backward if we do so.

And as Ilokano educators, we have not allowed our Ilokano language to speak us.

Because we are Englishspeaking educators, period.

Because we are Tagalogspeaking educators, period.

Because we wish forever to be known that we are educators capable of using the languages of wider communication in this homeland that is now more of land than home, literally. Our soul and heart are missing in action in this land, we dare say.
