Bugho farmers finally installed ORMOC CITY – Recently, the 21 CLOA Holders, organized under Bugho Farmers Association were finally installed by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in the remaining 15 hectares of the 25 hectares awarded to them in accordance with the Compromise Agreement the group signed with petitioners FFWA (Fran Farm Workers Association).

What was seen as “bloody” activity turned out to be a peaceful one.

The day-long activity marked the culmination of the 17-year long struggle of the CLOA Holders over control of their land awarded to them by virtue of CLOA#000276805 under RA 6657 - Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), later amended

by RA 9700 or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reform (CARPER). Originally, the CLOA Holders were awarded a total of 46 has. covering 2 parcels of land. In consideration of other landless farmers, the CLOA Holders agreed to enter into a compromise agreement,

where the 21 ha. land was later alloted to the petitioners FFFWA. In April 30, 2015, BFA-Katarungan gained control of 2 has. through self-installation, seven (7) hectares more were regained by the CLOA Holders in another selfinstallation bid in October 21, 2015.

The installation proceedings was temporarily marred by the resistance put up by the illegal occupants in the 25 ha land, organized under Lumad Maharlikan and by the protest of Matica-a Brgy.

Captain Henry Flores over the "secrecy of the operation." The situation was kept under control by more than 200 men and women of the PNP, Bureau of Fire Protection and by the assistance of CHR Regional Director Atty. Paquito Nacino.

Assisting DARAB Provincial Sheriff Joseph C. Catingub were DARR08 PARPO Renato G. Badilla, MARPOs Lucy Jara and Perpetua Sabaldan and a host of other DAR employees.

The CLOA hHolders are now preparing for their first cropping in the entire 25 has., amidst continuous threats of violence and intimidation.

not that big. Villacorte disclosed that the status of the region when it comes to drug problem is second to the lowest regions in the entire country. Villacorte cited the economic situation of the region as the reason why it has the lowest drug trade in the country.

Police authorities here maintained calm and sobriety to stay any untoward incident.

FFWA president Mr. Benjie Malinao managed to obtain a dialogue with local government City Administrator Atty.

Francis Pepito to ventilate what seemed unventilated issue they have and with their attached membership with the Lumad Maharlikan land claimants.

Eventually, members of the FFWA slowly packed up their things; removed banners they planted in the covered 25 hectares land area in the what appeared a jittery stand-off they put-up against Department of Agrarian Reform officials and police authorities to execute writ.

By sundown, Mr. Benjie Malinao, FFWA, President, calling from the City Administrator’s office gave word to his members to peacefully leave the Tribal Hut Hall they built on the rice field, which was earlier demanded by DAR Sheriff Official Mr. Joseph Catingub vacated, demolished and removed by them so that the Bugho Farmer’s Association (BFA) might finally take peaceful possession.

The Writ of Execution and installation of awardees finally concluded peacefully without untoward incident. RCD

No “wild, wild west” in Duterte govt -- Villacorte PALO, Leyte --- PNP 8 Regional Director P/CSupt. Jose Erwin Villacorte recently told the media that there will be no “wild wild west” in the coming Duterte administration. He said that still the rule of law shall be followed.

At a press conference held at the Matapat Hall in Kamp Ruperto Kangleon, Villacorte admitted that everybody seems to be getting excited

on the outcome of Duterte’s claim on reducing crime volume within 3-6 months. He said that even if a marching order is given to them, still he prefers to abide by the law.

Villacorte also said that he heard from a lot of people, particularly those who are coming from the other countries, are speculating the country will become a “wild wild west” just like in older days in the US. But he emphasized that this

4th LED programs road works for northwest Leyte ORMOC CITY --THE Department of Public Works and Highways released early this month P30 million to 4th Leyte Engineering District (LED) for the construction of 10 farm-to-market roads (FMR). The biggest allocation of P10 million will be for the development of a two-kilometer road in Barangay Masaba, Matag-ob, Leyte. Most of the FMRs will be built in Ormoc including concreting the gaps of the main road in Alta Vista.

The 4th LED is also set to begin a P140 million road opening that will connect Gaas and Quezon Jr., also in Ormoc. The whole stretch will reach more than nine kilometers but only two kilometers of critical portions will be concreted, being a mere road-opening. The FMR will be

eight to 10 meters wide, depending on the shrubbery that will be affected along the way.

As for the long-running construction of Ormoc diversion road, only one kilometer remains to be developed and two bridges to be built, Dist. Engr. Lino Francisco Gonzales bared. The bridges will be built are in Mantutugnao at the Biliboy side and Maagos at the Malbasag side. A third bridge in Sumangga is finished already.

The one kilometer left for development continues to have road rightof-way problems with affected landowners, particularly the heirs of Don Potenciano Larrazabal. More than five years in the making, the diversion road will run 15 kilometers, cutting through at least five barangays. Ferdinand Cruz

DPWH- PIOs conduct workshop under communication development program TACLOBAN CITY -- “It is heartwarming to know that the PIO’s of Region VIII do not stop to equip themselves with the necessary skills to perform their tasks under the Development Communication Program.”

This was emphasized by Department Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Samar 1st District Engineering Office Assistant District Engineer, Loreto M. Cedro as he delivers his welcome remarks to the Public Information Officers (PIO) of DPWH-Region VIII during its seminar workshop under Communication Development Program on June 9-10, 2016 held at Marju Krissel Hotel & Restaurant, Brgy. San Policarpo, Calbayog City on June 9-10, 2016.

The seminar was hosted by DPWHSamar 1st District Engineering Office thru its PIO Designate, Ma. Nenita Gomez and thru the initiative of Regional P.I.O, Ms. Antonietta R. Lim. Several PIOs from different District Engineering Offices (DEOs) in the region participated the event with the aim to

acquire and develop skills under the Communication Development Program.

Topics focused during the seminar were the Newsletter Production and Beyond Basic Photography by Mr. Nhero Veraflor as a Resource Speaker.

On the first day of the seminar, lecturediscussion on Basic Photography was taught to the participants concentrating on the different photo composition. It was a very productive day for the PIOs wherein after the lecture-discussion, they were able to visit different sites of infrastructure projects of the DPWH -Samar 1st DEO as their subject for the photoshoot.

From the on-going construction of 2-storey school building for Senior High School to the completed Diversion Road Project and Flood Control Projects, PIOs were able to explore different ways to take pictures on infrastructure projects of DWPH. “I’m glad that there is this kind of seminar conducted to DPWH-PIOs because this is really helpful in making our reports.” said one of the participants.

will not happen because the police is bound by the rule of law.

Villacorte said that they are still implementing a program about the campaign against drug and the PNP will continue to implement this in the coming days. Though he said that a change might happen in the coming administration but still, he said, the police will continue to wage war against illegal drugs.

Meanwhile, Villacorte disclosed

that a formal charges against the 3 contractors that left the 3 municipal police stations in Leyte, has already been filed. Though he did not mention the names he said that the PNP Stations in Abuyog, Carigara and Tolosa were left by the contractors without completing the projects. He added that the construction of a new municipal police station is part of the modernization program of the PNP. RCD

albuera from p. 1 communist-terrorist movement (CTM) is no longer active in the area. And it is being admitted by the local government unit, PNP and the Philippine Army. It is also a manifestation that the LGU, PNP and the PA successfully drove away the insurgents in the area, the colonel added.

The declaration of stable internal peace and security will result to progress and development, Mendoza stressed out and this was seconded by Supt.

Amodia. The police said that declaring a municipality as SIPS is a sign of beginning on economic and political progress.

Many investors are afraid by the communist insurgents; now that Albuera is free from insurgents they are now ready to come in to invest business, Col Mendoza pointed out.

Mendoza also reported that there were already areas declared as SIPS, such as the municipalities of La Paz, Palo, San Isidro, Kananga and Carigara.

Cities of Tacloban and Ormoc have been also declared SIPS this year.

Mendoza recalled that the last insurgence in Albuera was in 2006 wherein the NPA raided the municipality.

Throughout Leyte there was no more NPA offensive for several years because the area was under effective control by the army and the police, according to Mendoza prompting this declaration.

The challenge now of this declaration is how to maintain to be free from insurgents or out from the influence

of insurgents, the commander said. Col Mendoza admitted that there are still insurgents in the hinterlands of some municipalities in Leyte but there are no more areas of concern as it is already manageable.

In an interview, the colonel confirmed that there were reports of private armed groups in Albuera but has to be investigated by the PNP whose groups.

Supt. Amodia said that while there are no more insurgents in Albuera, criminalities still happening because of drugs. He stressed that illegal drugs is the number 1 problem in the municipality and it is their mandate and priority to clean the municipality to become a drugfree community.

Mayor Norman Mesina hoped that the incoming mayor (Rolando Espinosa) will continue the good relationships with PA and PNP to maintain the peace and security in Albuera. The presence of the military during election period was requested for their visibility, Mesina said, and it was not related to insurgency.

But Mesina did not deny that there are criminalities in the area but said that people should wait for the results of the investigation before making any conclusion.

The signing of the declaration was witnessed by different Brgy Chairmen of the town, department heads, LGU employees and some residents. Ronnie C. Roa

conducted on the second and last day of the seminar-workshop. This activity gave much more learning to the participants as they were able to pin point their needs of improvement in taking pictures. The rest of the seminar was allotted on a lecture discussion about newsletter production again by Mr. Veraflor as the resource speaker.

Lots of questions from different DEOs were raised to Mr. Veraflor as many of these District Engineering Offices receives negative assessments from the Regional Office on their newsletters.

Some of these were on the lay-outs, the captions, pictures, etc. but it was all

clarified by the resource speaker.

Having not enough time, DPWH PIO’s agreed to continue the topic with hands-on activity in making newsletter on their next Seminar Workshop which will be tentatively held in the month of September, 2016.

The continuous conduct of seminar workshop with DPWH-PIOs will improve the capacity of the designated District PIOs on their duties and responsibilities and enhance their commitment to the department’s goal to continuously inform the public of its programs, policies and projects within their respective area of jurisdictions.

West Philippine Sea in the Public Mind: Beyond Sound Bites

E ditorial

declarations easily lend themselves to sound bite-riddled, “he said/she said”, media reports, the better to dumb down important issues and public discourse. That they have generated more media hype is best viewed in light of the fact that they come no less from from the country’s recently proclaimed president, who has earned a global reputation not only for his foul mouth bent on spewing out invectiveladen rants each time he speaks, but also for his predictable yet no less disturbing off-the-cuff comments even on a highly volatile issue that is the West Philippine Sea. Duterte is known to have said he would seek multilateral talks with other claimant states to the South China Sea and major Philippine allies like the United States, favored a joint exploration with China in the resource-rich, strategic waterway, and, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, that he would jet-ski to the Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal to plant a Philippine flag on the disputed island.

The 71-year-old soon-to-be-erstwhile Davao City mayor’s every declaration, however facetious or mindboggling to some, and clearly a sharp departure from the Aquino administration’s posture on the West Philippine Sea, has merited prominent print space and airtime.

But whether extensive media coverage of the country’s territorial tensions with China, conveniently alongside Duterte’s propensity to flip-flop on the maritime wrangling in the West Philippine Sea, has led to more nuanced and

As the Philippines heads into a new political dispensation, much of the country is watching with bated breath how the newly minted President-elect Rodrigo Duterte will sooner or later deal with the issue of China’s aggressive intrusion into the West Philippine Sea (or areas of the South China Sea lying within the country’s exclusive economic zone prescribed by international law).

By this time, thanks or no thanks to a media feeding frenzy over the maverick presidential winner from the south, who hasn’t heard or read Duterte’s public statements (or watched him on television issuing the same) on the country’s territorial conflict with China?

His pronouncements have sent mixed, nay, contradictory, signals on where he stands or sits amid this simmering maritime flashpoint in Philippine-Sino ties. This, against a backdrop of the much anticipated ruling of The Hague tribunal, where the Philippines, taking the path of international arbitration under outgoing President Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III’s watch, has lodged its case against China.

Dinhi ra sa Pilipinas kana, naunsa ba mo

DILI man kita abogado pero malay mo mahimo kitang abogado sa umalabot nga mga adlaw. Pero bisan pa dili kita abogado dili man sab boot ipasabot nga wala kita makabot kung unsa ang balaod ug kung unsaon ang pagtuman niini.

Isyu karon kining pagtugot sa Comelec nga hatagan og extension kining Liberal Party nga maka-file sa ilang SOCE kay lagi, wala makatuman sa deadline ang maong political party. Daghan ang nangalibog ug daghan ang natandog ang atay tungod sa maong lakang sa Comelec. Hisgot dayon sa mga balaod ilabi na kining rule sa Comelec kabahin niining pag-file sa mga SOCE sa mga kandidato. Ato daw sulayan og hisgot kung ganahan ba mo.

Una, angay nato nga mahibalan nga sumala sa balaod, ang tanan nga mga kandidato bisan pa ang mga nakadaug ug mga naparot kinahanglan nga mosumiter sa ilang SOCE nga dili molapas sa deadline nga gi-set sa ahensya. Sa pinatin-aw nga polisiya, dili man lang diay ang mga kandidato ang mosumiter sa ilang SOCE kondili ang partido mismo sama ba niining Liberal Party, PDP-Laban, Nationalista, UNA ug uban pa.

Sumala sa maong polisiya nga sa higayon nga dili makatuman sa deadline ang usa ka political party, dili tugtan nga makalingkod o kon maka-assume sa pwesto ang mga

nakadaug nga mga kandidato nga midaug sa partido nga wala makafile og SOCE. **** Ug kung tumanon gyud, matud pa, ang maong polisiya, dili makalingkod si Bise Presidente Leni Robredo ug uban pang mga kandidatong midaug ilalum sa Liberal Party tungod kay ang maong partido wala makatuman sa deadline.

Karon, ang isyu mao ni.

Nag-file og request for extension ang Liberal Party sa deadline aron nga makatuman sila sa mga requirements sa Comelec kabahin niining pagfile og SOCE. Sumala sa balaod, walay extension sa deadline. Pero, wala man did-e ang mga partido sa pag-file of late. Ug kung mofile nga late sa ilang SOCE, dili pagadawaton sa Comelec. Ug sa ato pa, dili gyud makalingkod ang mga kandidato nga midaug kay bisan pa mo-file og late, dili man gihapon dawaton.

Sunod nga isyu mao ni.

Unsa man angay masunod? Ang mandato sa mga tawo nga mibotar sa mga kandidato o kon ang Comelec rule? Kung mandato sa mga tawo ang masunod, kinahanglan nga palingkoron sa ilang mga pwesto tungod kay gibotaran sa tawo. Pero, ang Comelec ang angay masunod, dili makalingkod ang mga kandidato bisan pa nakadaug sila.

**** Ang sunod nga isyu mao ni.

Angay ba tugtan ang Liberal Party sa hangyo niini nga i-extend ang deadline? Sumala sa rule, ang “deadline” is unextendable. Kay kung maohon, maduha na ang deadline. Kinowanggol nga paagi kana, di ba?

Sa ato pa, dili pwede. Pero, ngano man karon nga gi-extend man sa Comelec aron lang gyud paboran ang hangyo sa Liberal Party? Wow. Klaro kaayo bisan pa odtong tutok. Sa uban nasud dili kana pwede. Pero, dinhi sa PILIPINAS, PWEDENGPWEDE, di ba?

Ensakto gyud ang giingon ni President-elect Rudy Duterte sa diha nga miingon siya nga kuno dinhi sa Pilipinas, “obedience of the law has become optional.”

Tinood gyud diay ang iyang giingon. Tumanon ra kuno ang balaod nga ganahan. Bitaw. Di man sab kita makaingon nga mga bulok kining mga taga-Comelec kay mga abogado gud na sila.

Ang pangutana mao ni. Ngano man nga gitugtan ang Liberal Party? Ang tubag obvious kaayo.

Ug nahibalo ba kamo ngano nga mipabor ang kadaghanan sa mga Commissioner sa Comelec ngadto sa Liberal Party?

Syempre, utang kaboboot-on.

Si PNoy gud ang nag-appoint nila. May pinagsamahan gud na sila taliwala sa baso ug sumsuman.

Mas daghan ang mga streetcleaners ORMOC CITY – Sumala sa inpormasyon nga gibutyag sa usa sa mga ispay nga ok-ok, nasayran nga mas daghan ang i-hire nga mga street cleaner dinhi sa dakbayan ilalum sa Gomez administration. Kini tungod sa tuyo ug tumong nga mahinlo gyud ang dakbayan.

Kung kaniadto tunga ra sa Barangay Cogon ug hangtud ra diha sa tulay sa Can-adieng ang masilhiran sa mga street cleaners, matud pa, kutob na sa Barangay Valencia, Curva ug Barangay Macabug. Ug ang iskedyul sa pagsilhid dili na dose oras kondili 24 oras na. Syaro pud nga dunay mahabilin nga sagbot sa karsada. Ug kung sa panahon sa mga Codilla ang mga street cleaner minimum ang sweldo, karon kuno sa Gomez administration, labaw og diyutay tungod kay naa nay isnak.

8. To enable plaintiff to construct and maintain the Ormoc-Babatngon 138kV Transmission Line Project, it is both necessary and urgent to acquire, upon payment of just compensation, an easement of right-of-way over the portions of the defendant’s property, as described above, to ensure stability and reliability of power supply in the provinces of Leyte and Samar and, in the future, in other parts of the country.

9. Plaintiff negotiated with defendant Abraham P. Perez for easement of right-of-way over portions of the subject property for its project, as shown by the Affidavit of plaintiff’s Right-of-Way Officer (hereto attached as Annex “I”). However, no settlement could be reached by the parties as defendant refused the plaintiff’s offer. Hence, plaintiff was constrained to file the instant action against the defendant.

10. Plaintiff is willing and able to pay the just compensation for the portions of Lot No. 7505-A sought to be expropriated, subject to deductions for capital gains and documentary stamp taxes for the transfer of the property in the name of plaintiff, all other outstanding realty taxes

However, plaintiff, as a sign of good faith and to promote and maintain goodwill, proffers to the defendant 100% of the BIR Zonal Value, which is higher than the assessed value of the property, as just compensation for the portions of the property, as well as the improvements therein, in the total amount of EIGHTY-EIGHT THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR PESOS (Php 88,364.00).

Thus, plaintiff deposited the aforesaid amount with the authorized government depository, Land Bank of the Philippines, located at NPC Extension Office, Diliman, Quezon City.

Upon presentation of proof of provisional deposit, ISSUE forthwith a Writ of Possession in plaintiff’s favor authorizing it to enter and take possession of the portions of the property subject of this complaint that will be affected by the construction and implementation of the Ormoc-Babatngon 138kV Transmission Line Project, consisting of a total area of 2,480 square meters, more or less, described in paragraph 7 hereof, and if necessary, to allow plaintiff to have temporary access in going to the areas subject of the complaint while the construction of the project is on-going; 2.

After payment of just compensation, ISSUE a Judgmentdeclaring that a continuous and perpetual easement for the use and benefit to the plaintiff and its successors-in-interest is constituted over Lot No. 7505-A, subject of this Complaint, consisting of a total area of 2,480 square meters, more or less, described in paragraph 7 hereof; 5.

PPI to discuss West PHL Sea in conference, bares awards finalists As it celebrates its 52nd year, the Philippine Press Institute, also known as the national association of newspapers, reaffirms its strong commitment to doing its share in enhancing media’s role as a catalyst for discourse— rich, enlightened, meaningful and sustained—via its Annual National Press Forum and Membership Meeting whose highlight is the Civic Journalism Community Press Awards.

As the Philippines heads into a new political dispensation, much of the country is watching with bated breath how the newly minted President-elect Rodrigo Duterte will sooner or later deal with the issue of China’s aggressive intrusion into the West Philippine Sea (or areas of the South China Sea lying within the country’s exclusive economic zone prescribed by international law).

Publishers and editors of PPI membernewspapers nationwide will convene in Manila at the Century Park Hotel for the 20th National Press Forum, whose theme “Understanding the Disputes in the West Philippine Sea” will focus on media’s role in fostering public understanding of important issues — not least of which are

editorial from p. 4 expansive understanding among Filipinos of the relevant issues involved is entirely another matter.

To date much of the narrative on the escalating territorial quarrel between the two Asian neighbors tends to pit the states involved against one other — China vs the Philippines and other regional claimants, and China vs the US as well as Japan as major global powers keen to assert freedom of navigation in the contested waters of the South China Sea, and push for regional peace and stability in the face of China’s bluster.

There is no gainsaying the polarizing impact of the South China Sea disputes, which involve other Southeast Asian neighbors. Yet such discords carry more complexities than what the Philippine media may have cared to examine and bring to the forefront of public discussion. Are there other frames besides conflict through which the South China Sea issue — and how it impacts a smaller country like the Philippines — must be seen and reported by the press? Surely there are, such as the economic and historical sides of the dispute.

What are the dominant narratives driving public discussions on the West Philippine Sea? What issues are being glossed over or have merited little, if any, media attention?

Is there adequate context and background in media coverage of the ongoing maritime standoff between China and the Philippines?

To what extent have the media, citing carefully researched pieces of evidence presented by experts including Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, challenged China’s extensive territorial

the dark clouds hovering over the West Philippine Sea — cannot be underscored enough. No less than Senior Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio will be the guest of honor and speaker.

Born in Davao City, Justice Antonio Tirol Carpio was sworn in as member of the Supreme Court of the Philippines on October 26, 2001. He is the Chairperson of the Supreme Court’s Second Division and Chairperson of the Senate Electoral Tribunal.

Partnership programs with Holcim Philippines, Oceana Philippines and Plan International - Philippines will also be relaunched in a separate function. Vera Files will present its journalism fellowship on Road Safety.

Three-time PPI chairman-president Atty. Jesus Dureza will turn over the reins to the next head of the Institute. He will join the Duterte Administration for the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP).

For the first time, incoming Press Secretary and Chief of Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Martin Andanar will meet the PPI members to discuss “The Malacañang claims, moored in the historically dubious ninedash line that covers practically the entire West Philippine Sea? Media’s role in fostering public understanding of important issues — not least of which are the dark clouds hovering over the West Philippine Sea — cannot be underscored enough.

This is true not only at the national level but also across communities that are far removed from the center of foreign policymaking in the Philippines. Interestingly enough, it is in these areas where impoverished and marginalized sectors such as fisherfolk have been feeling the brunt of China’s bellicose actions, enough to send alarm bells ringing and crisis shockwaves reverberating across the country. But this kind of scenario is perhaps best left to the imagination.

It appears that the tides of public opinion on the West Philippine Sea have yet to rise in unison with the frenzied efforts of the government to wrest back control of the contested islands.

Suffice it to say that public engagement and dialogue around the West Philippine Sea vary at best —and it behooves the media to report on the country’s claims in the disputed waters with increased sharpness, nuance, background and context.

To do otherwise is to leave the public wading helplessly in the murky waters of the disputed islands — amid a sea of shallow reports on competing maritime claims, not to mention Duterte’s controversial pronouncements that conveniently offer sensationalist grist for media mills.

Recognizing excellence in reportage Highlighting the two-day forum is the 2015 Civic Journalism Community Press Awards, the first and only awards program of its kind in the country, that aims to raise the standards of journalism in the countryside and seeks to honor news organizations not only for editorial excellence but also for their role as catalysts for community development.

Now on its 20th year, the awards program will honor outstanding community newspapers in various categories such as editing, photojournalism, editorial page, business and economic reporting, environmental reporting, reporting on history, arts and culture, and fisheries.

Eighteen newspapers are vying for the seven awards in both daily and weekly categories: (Daily) The Freeman, Mindanao Times, Sun.Star Pampanga, Sun.Star Cebu, Sun.Star Baguio, Sun. Star Davao and Cebu Daily News; (Weekly) Sunday Punch, Eastern Visayas Mail, BusinessWeek Mindanao, The Ilocos Times, The Bohol Chronicle, The Mindanao Cross, Baguio Chronicle, Davao Catholic Herald, Pahayagang

Balikas, West Leyte Weekly Express, and Baguio Midland Courier.

This year's event is supported by Nickel Asia Corporation (NAC) as principal partner, and sponsored in part

by National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA), PhilHealth, Bayer, Land Bank of the Philippines, Philippine Veterans Bank, Holcim Philippines, Oceana Philippines, Plan International Philippines, PAGCOR, Isuzu,Vera Files, Malaya Business Insight, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Journal Group, The Philippine Star, BusinessWorld and Manila Standard Today.

The PPI is the country's premiere print media organization whose memberpublications rank among the best, most read and widely circulated newspapers in their respective regions (National Capital Region, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao).

Its principal mandate is the defense of press freedom and the promotion of ethical standards for the professional development of the Filipino journalist. It was founded in 1964 but rendered moribund during martial law. It was re-activated after the EDSA Revolution and incorporated in 1987. (PPI)

Badminton for a cause staged by PS3 ORMOC CITY --- A successful tournament for a cause was recently held in Badminton City in Brgy. Linao. It was spearheaded by the indefatigable and incessant illegal drugs chaser P/SInsp.

Benjamin B. Lodo, the very able chief of Police Station 3.

At least 20 badminton enthusiasts participated in the single round-robin tournament with two categories which is the Open and Veterans groups. The tournament was played in two categories where the winners were given certificates and cash prices.

Lodo said that he got the idea in holding sports event such as badminton when he was still the chief of police in the Mac Arthur Police Station in Eastern Samar after seeing a lot of habal-habal drivers plying the town carrying bags with tennis racket at their

back. He said that he later asked some of this tennis enthusiast to inform each other as he will organize a tournament for them. Lodo disclosed that the holding of a tournament became successful as this leads to the arrest of 4 in the Top 10 of the Most Wanted Persons List and the surrender of a top official of the reds.

Here in Ormoc especially at the Police Station 3 area of Jurisdiction, the tournament was staged for the purpose of curbing the proliferation of the illegal drugs in the area.

He is hoping that this kind of event will open the minds of the youth to stop indulging themselves to illegal drugs and instead join sports activities such as this one.

In an interview, John Jay Omega, a former banker who is a badminton enthusiast, he lauded the effort of the tournament
