20 packs of shabu seized in buy-bust ORMOC CITY – More than P15,000 worth of illegal drugs were seized by operatives of Police Station 3 in a recent buy-bust operation in a identified drug den in Block 5, Brgy.

Tambulilid, this city.

P/Insp. Tomas Serrano identified the arrested suspects as certain Michael Eguaras y Villar, 33, single, suspected drug pusher of said place and certain Mark Anthony Weceslao y Miguel, 25, separated, maintenance of said drug den.

According to Serrano, the suspect Eguaras attempted to run away from the poseur-buyer after a negotiation when the cop introduced himself and collared him. But the other police officer who was with the poseur-buyer prevented him to flee. The other suspect, Wenceslao was shocked and was not able to run.

reportedly worth more than P15,000 and drug paraphernalia. Another cash in the amount of P 1,940 and the P300 marked-money.

Eguaras denied owning the evidences taken from his possession and even challenged the cops for a random drug-test boasting for a possible negative result because he is not into illegal drugs.

However, Wenceslao was obviously high on illegal drugs and could not even produce a saliva when asked to spit. His room was full of drug paraphernalia and other tools that are being used in sniffing shabu. His father Jaime expressed relief about the arrest of his son. He alleged that his son has already started showing some abnormal attitude and even tried to burn the house. He added that his another problem is that his son refuses admonition. The suspects will be charged with violation of RA 9165.

Farmers disagree with DAR’s statement TACLOBAN CITY – The Bugho Farmers Association (BFA) and the Kilusan Para sa Repormang Agraryo at Katarungang Panlipunan (KATARUNGANEV) have recently issued a joint statement against a TV and print release of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Region VIII The groups state that “KATARUNGAN Eastern Visayas finds it tragic that the DAR Region 8 has attempted to mislead the public by reporting that our member Bugho Farmers AssociationKatarungan has signed the Compromise Agreement, when in fact, negotiations are still ongoing.In the midst of talks, the 21 CLOA Holders continue to request for DAR intervention by providing police assistance in the harassment and intimidation still being perpetrated by a group of farmers, led by one official of Barangay Matica-a.”

“We find it disturbing that the agency persists in reporting accomplishments when there were none. This is the root cause of the long standing and enormous land tenurial security issues of us farmers in Leyte, after all. More unfortunate still, is that this distortion of facts is a reflection of the sorry state of Agrarian Reform in the TuwidnaDaan administration of Secretary Delos Reyes and PNoy.” On the other hand, BFA stated that “we, the 21 CLOA Holders of the 46 hectares (21 and 25 hectares) of land in Barangay Matica-a, Ormoc, organized under BFA-Katarungan, would like to inform the public we have not signed the Compromise Agreement, contrary to the statement made in a press release by the Department of Agrarian Reform Region 8 on January 12, 2016.

“While our group has remained steadfast in the pursuit of agrarian justice as CLOA Holders through legal and peaceful means, with the Compromise Agreement as one of the instruments we have explored, there remain sensitive points that needed to be addressed before we can enter into the said

Compromise Agreement.

“In November 2015, our legality as CLOA Holders of the entire 46 hectares were affirmed by the Final Entry of Judgment issued by the DAR Adjudication Board (DARAB).

This was, as pronounced by DAR media release, received with “much reservation from the FFFWA.” The said decision prodded members of the FFFWA to enter into a transitory agreement with us to lead to a Compromise Agreement that should have been signed by us last December 22, 2015.

“While we are elated with the prospect of finally achieving the elusive peaceful possession of the land awarded to us, and we warmly embraced friends and families that were estranged because of the conflict, we are nevertheless firm in our stand that – “it is within our rights as CLOA Holders that, when entering into an Agreement, our interest be closely guarded and protected. Thus, consultation should have been conducted before finalization of the said Agreement; acts of harassment and intimidation to our members by known individualsbelonging to FFFWAthat continue to perpetuate to this day, be put to a stop through thefirm interventionof DAR and the security sector; and the issuance of a collective CLOA named to the 21 beneficiaries.”

The farmer association added that “It is unfortunate that the Department of Agrarian Reform had to resort to this misinformation offensive. We are hoping that this misinformation being peddled by the agency is not a weak bid to shore up their accomplishment for the past year.

In the end, we are hoping that this was mistakenly released as this cannot and will not pressure us into signing the Compromise Agreement.”

The groups also recognized the gallant assistance of the Commission on Human Rights for facilitating the crucial dialogue last month that led to this juncture, and their continued monitoring of the case. RCD

INGOs to distribute free prosthetic hands in Tacloban TACLOBAN CITY – Two international nongovernment organizations – LN-4 Foundation and Kiwanis International – will be distributing prosthetic hands for free to qualified amputees at the Divine Word Hospital (tentative venue) this city on February 12, the Taclobanleg coordinator said.

In an interview with the Philippine Information Agency, businessman Ronnie Ramirez, owner of Joebz Tacloban said that they are looking for some 40-50 amputees with residual limb that extends at least 10 cm from the elbow or 14 cm from the armpit so the prosthetic hand will fit in.

“We are encouraging our fellow Taclobanons and Eastern Visayans who have this particular disability to avail of this rare opportunity as one prosthetic hand costs more or less P300,000,” Ramirez said.

He added that the Foundation and their sponsors produced this artificial hand at a minimal cost as they endeavor to “give hope – give hand by providing functional prosthetic hands at no cost at all to recipients.”

“The arm extension has three stationary/fixed fingers and two latches where an amputee could be able to hold a pen and write again, hold a glass with handle, comb hair and other similar light activities,” he said.

Ramirez further said that anyone may avail of this including children who are at least seven years old, without wound or pain being felt in

said part of the body. However, six year-old children may also qualify for as long as they can already control the use of the prosthetic hand.

Shown in a video documentary of one of its projects in the country that a recipient-amputee could easily put on and take off the prosthetic hand in seconds and learn how to use in less than 10 minutes.

Ramirez’s group, who volunteered services for this charitable activity in their personal capacity, is also encouraging the public to help disseminate this information to fill in the slots, the earlier the better. “We are also tapping the regional office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development to look for possible recipients to come up on time with at least 40 so the sponsors will be able to prepare the prosthetic hands,” he added.

The INGOs will also conduct the same activity for free in Lavezares, Northern Samar on February 10-11 and in Ormoc City on February 13 for another 100 and 50 recipients, respectively.

Application forms are available at Joebz Tacloban,Salazar St., Tacloban City or one may text or call Mr. Ramirez at his cellphone number 09173254343.

The Tacloban-leg prosthetic hand free distribution of LN-4 Foundation and Kiwanis International is also in partnership with the Tacloban City Police Office and the Philippine Information Agency 8. (aen/PIA-8)

Senate Minority Leader Senator Juan Ponce Enrile stressed recently that the main person to be blamed on the death of the forty four PNP Special Action Force (SAF), is no other the President himself.

The senator claims that he has many proofs to show the veracity of his allegation.

According to Enrile, “while the operation was going on, and SAF units were being slaughtered, (Aquino) did not do anything at all to save them.” During the session, he took the floor to put on record that he has evidence to pin down the President and ended debates on the reason for re-opening the probe into the deaths of the SAF 44.

The soldiers died in Maguindanao last January 25 of last year.

Enrile said that President Aquino knew already from day one about the operation to neutralize three foreign terrorists led by Malaysian Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan.

“So that there would be no more questions about whether we should reopen the Mamasapano hearing or not, I would like to make it of record that I have evidence,” Enrile said. “First, that the President of the Philippines, Benigno S. Aquino III, actively and directly involved himself in the planning, preparation of Oplan Exodus.

T h e President knew about t h e fighting i n Mamasapano as he had flown to Zamboanga City,” Enrile said.

He continued: “Second, that on the day of the actual operation, (Aquino) was monitoring the operations while he was in his plane going to Zamboanga City… and I am going to prove these with evidence in that hearing,” the senator claimed.

Initially, Senate President Franklin Drilon said he wanted to clarify the definition of “new matters” after Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano interpellated Sen. Grace Poe on the ruling of the committee on rules that allowed the reopening of inquiry.

Sen. Vicente Sotto III seconded the motion when Enrile reiterated his motion in the plenary that the Mamasapano hearing should be re-opened and be brought back to the committees.

The re-opening of the senate hearing would surely hurt Mar Roxas’ candidacy. Then, the three other presidentiables would benefit from it specially Senator Grace Poe. Aside from Roxas, the President himself might be looking now at the dark side of his future because he might face imprisonment or impeachment after the investigating body would affirm that it is therefore, the President himself who is the most responsible of killing Maguindanao heroes.

Hala magkinihaay na

NAGTIKA-alegre na ang politika samtang nagtikaduol ang election.

Binirahay na pag-ayo ang mga alepores sa mga politico, bando Richard batok sa bando Ondo.

Ang alegre lang kay morag abante gamay kining sa bando Gomez kay kusog man kaayo motira’g mga isyu kining ilang abogado nga kusog mokomentaryo sa radyo. Matud pa sa uban nga maminaw, ganahan sila apan ingon pud sa uban nga maglagot sila ug nagaampo man gani sila nga maayo unta kuno’g gabaan kining abogadoha kay magpataka lang kuno’g istorya. Pero, ang katarungan pud sa abogado nga dili sila magpataka’g yawyaw kay naa sila’y ebidensya ug dunay silay basihan sa ilang mga isyu.

Hangtud gani sa ponto nga magkihaay na kuno. Kay lagi, medyo nasakitan na ang usa ka partido.

Hastilan no? Lisud gyud diay kining maglunod patay kita alang sa mga politico kay daghan kitang mahimong kaaway. Daghay masuko. Daghan ang maglagot. Pero usahay, daghan man sab ang ganahan. Mao nga ang uban tungod kay nakabati nga daghan ang ganahan nila, magpadayon lang gyud. **** Kitang mga ensakto ang orientation sa kinabuhi sa mga tagamedia, dili gyud magpagawung sa politico. Pwede tingale makig-higala pero dili maayo nga magpagawung hangtud sa ponto nga kanunay magebid-ebid ug halos mohalok na lang sa lobot. Naa man guy mga politiko nga sobra pud makapahimulos sa ilang mga PR man. Mora bag kon isipon nila ang ilang PR man ulipon nila pero ganahan pud kining PR man kay lagi duna may

kaayuhan nga dili kabalibaran gikan sa maong politiko.

Sa akong bahin, naa man tay mga suod nga higalang politiko.

Kadaghanan ini nila tarung nga politiko.

Husto ang pagdumala ug maayo magdala’g relasyon sa medya. Patas ug balanse. Pero, karon morag nitagam ako kay sa uwahing elections duna koy gisuportaan nga mga politiko. Singot ug pilaw ang atong gikapital sa paglaum nga makatagamtan kita’g gamay nga kaayohan gikan nila. Bisag dili na lang kanang hatagan kita’g posisyon dinha sa kagamhanan sa siyudad. Bisan na lamang kanang tagdon kita inigsugat ug inigkita, may okasyon o wala, may eleksyon o wala.

Hastilan. Niadtong panahon sa kampanya, pagka-maayo molamano.

Pagka-maayo motagad. Mora ba’g dugay nang magka-ila. Pero karon sa diha nga midaug na ug nakalingkod, wala na makaila. Bisan gani moyango kon magsugat, wala na gyud.

Dili man ko makaingon nga wala makaila tungod kay panahon sa kampanya kanunay man makakita sa atong nawung nga hamison ug pution. **** Sa akong bahin, kon maghisgot niining pagsuporta sa politiko. Dili ako sama sa uban nga magsige’g balhinbalhin og partido. Mora’g langaw.

Balimbing, ingon pa nila. Para nako bisan mapilde o kon modaug, mas maayo nga magpabilin sa partido gawas lamang kon kining maong partido nagtikalayo na sa pinahapsay ug pinahiluna nga prinsipyo sa hustisya.

Kon makadaug ang manok, salamat.

Kon mapilde, unsaon ta man? Pero kon sa higayon nga manusik na ang atong manok, tingale mas labing maayo nga

ato na lang alisdan o kon ibaligya. O kon sa higayon nga kining maong manok nga atong pinalangga ug kanunay nato hiramon, pakaonon ug paimnun apan dili moila nato, mas maayo tingale nga ibaligya o kon alisdan, di ba?

Dili sab ko motoo sa katarungan sa uban nga kini kunong mga politiko maayo ra sa atubangan. Maayo ra kon panahon sa eleksyon. Maayo ra kuno kon manginahanglan sa atong botos.

Dili ra ba tanan nga politiko ingon niana. Naa koy higalang politiko dinhi sa siyudad nga makaingon ako nga maayong politiko kini kay makaila man bisag wala nay eleksyon. Kon magsugat mi, moyango o kon usahay bisag pahiyum lang. Okey na kana nako. Kay boot pasabot, nakaila nato.

Ning puntoha walay lipod-lipod nako nga ingnon nga maayo gyud kadto si kanhi Mayor Beboy kay managad gyud sa ensakto, may okasyon o kon wala, may kampanya o kon wala. **** Balik ta ini nga isyu nga kinihaay tungod sa politika nga ang nakaamong kining mga tigpaghot sa radyo ug tigmolde sa prenta. Unsaon man nga klaro man gud kaayo kining mga die hard nga mga tigsuportar. Palabi pud og laban. Bisag dili ensakto tungod kay lagi dunay suhol nga daku-daku ug dili kabalibaran, mobirada bisag walay basihan. Ug usahay kon aduna may ganiy basihan, tuison ang basihan mismo. Ug bisag gamay ra nga isyu, padak-on pag-ayo aron lang pud makahimo’g isyu. Ingon pa sa uban, naniguro gyud nga makadaug ang ilang kandidato pamasin nga makadawat og kaayohan kon ugaling makadaug ug makalingkod ang ilang ginasuportaan nga politiko.

to the people of Central Visayas, where he will be reassigned, especially at this crucial time when the country will be electing its new president and vice president, who will chart the country’s future through the next six years.

In terms of security situation, the Philippine National Police had recorded about 80 areas in Central Visayas as election hotspots, while in Eastern Visayas, 44 towns were already placed under the election watch list of the Comelec, the police and the military, he said.

Mendros said the classification of these were based on the history of election-related violence in the past elections, the candidates involved, and the existence of private armed groups.

“This is a tradition we cannot do without,” he said, adding that to be transferred is just part of the election officials’ job.

Mendros further disclosed the Comelec-8 will be in close coordination with the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines for the activation security control centers, which were reactivated last January 8 during the Regional Joint Peace and Security Coordinating Council meeting at the Police Regional Office-8 headquarters in Palo, Leyte.

These centers operate from the regional down the municipal level, and chaired by the Comelec with the PNP and AFP as members. They will focus on the implementation of the gun ban and check points. So far, as of this writing, the Comelec-8 has not received any report on the violation of the gun ban, except for deadly weapons, he said.

Mendros said about 81,000 registered voters in Eastern Visayas may not be able to vote in the May 9 elections for failing to have their biometrics taken until the last day of registration on November 16 last year, under the “No-bio, no-vote” policy of the Comelec. The number however was comparatively fewer than Comelec projection, he added.

Security Containment Ring System, where partners and stakeholders would take part in securing peace and order.

P/CInsp Joel Camacho of OCPO also disclosed that the partners or the civilian volunteers’ task to provide assistance is vital since it would result to a peaceful and orderly conduct of sport events and also, would boost the confidence of the visitors to the hospitality of Ormoc.

The scheme would include civilian volunteers to post to the game sites and would be tasked to properly recognize delegates apart from undesirable visitors who may commit crime during the course of the games.

The police officer also stressed that the police will not allow bad elements of the society to disturb the events.

For this reason, cops in civilian attire would be roaming around to identify potential criminals.

The Barangay Tanodd would also provide assistance to the police, Garay continued. He also said that he would seek augmentation force from the Regional Public Safety Company (RPSC).

City administrator Office earlier disclosed in an interview that more than 7,000 athletes and delegates from all different school divisions in the region would be coming.

Traffic personnel are already oriented and trained to receive the guests and visitors, and must guide those who will be using the pedestrians.

Garay also informed that Event Command Centers would be installed in some designated areas to facilitate quick police response and providing of assistance to school authorities and delegates. Ormoc Rescue and Medical Teams would be formed. RCD
