Duterte to rid of corrupt government agencies DAVAO CITY, Sept. 21 (PNA) – President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said that corrupt government agencies will soon be history. Speaking before a gathering of local officials at the Sulong Pilipinas local governance series held in Lanang on Tuesday, the President issued the pronouncement following his appointment of former police general Jose Jorge Corpuz as chairperson of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), which he said tops the list of government agencies being bled dry by corrupt officials. He said he has tasked Corpuz to conduct a top-tobottom overhaul of the PCSO and weed out scalawags in

the agency found to be engaged in nefarious activities in connivance with other government officials. President Duterte said that with the installation of Corpuz as the new PCSO chief, he’s optimistic that the agency will be brought back on track. “I hope things will improve. But sinabi ko you have to make a study. If I am not satisfied that it can really prevent corruption, I will recommend the abolition of the PCSO,” the President said. He said similar problems have been plaguing the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC). See CORRUPT AGENCIES, page 8

Duterte wants China to return PHL’s right to fish in WPS By Jelly F. Musico

MANILA, Sept. 22 (PNA) – President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday he will visit China within the year to ask them to return to the Philippines its fishing rights in the disputed West Philippine Sea (WPS). ”One of the things that I would demand if I go to mainland China is give us back our fishing rights,” Duterte said in his speech during the inauguration of the Filinvest Development Corp. Misamis Power Plant in Misamis Oriental. President Duterte said he has no plan to ignore the UN international arbitral tribunal’s ruling in favor of the Philippines’ arbitration case filed against China’s nine-dash line claim that almost covers the entire South China Sea. ”This piece of paper that we have our award, we do not go out of the four corners of this paper. We cannot go to war. Let’s talk first,” he said. See RIGHT TO FISH, page 12

MANILA, Sept 22 (Mabuhay) – Senator Leila de Lima on Thursday said she has been receiving numerous obscene and threatening text messages, and suspected these came from “Duterte fanatics.” In a press conference, De Lima said she could no longer use one of her personal numbers, which was disclosed during a House inquiry on her alleged links on the illegal drug oper-

MANILA, Sept. 22 (PNA) – President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday said Senator Leila de Lima cheated the nation after witnesses implicated her in the illegal drug trades at the New Bilibid Prison. “De Lima was not only screwing her driver, she is screwing the nation,” President Duterte said in speeches he delivered in two separate events in Mindanao. In Misamis Oriental where he inaugurated Filinvest Development Corp. Power Plant, President Duterte said De Lima built her name that brought her to the Senate by attacking the alleged extra judicial killings that marred the President illegal drug campaign when he was still mayor of Davao City. ”As Secretary of Justice, she was building a name at my expense so that she will become popular. So what now, look, she was not only screwing her driver, she was screwing the nation,” the President said. De Lima, the President said in his previous speeches, had romantic relationship with her married driver-bodyguard Ronnie Dayang

Puro na lang pambabastos, pananakot, puro calls, non-stop,” De Lima said. “By the nature of the texts, by the nature of the messages, these could only come from trollers and Duterte fanatics,” the senator said referring

Are you in Chapter 13 repayment plan? Our office get many questions on the consequences of being in a Chapter 13 repayment plan. Here are a few more: Q: Can I sell a car which secures a debt being paid by my Chapter 13 plan? A: The short answer is “yesâ€?, but it may not be practical. If you do sell a vehicle which is being paid by the plan, the debt secured by the vehicle will no longer have to be paid in the plan. However, payments will still go to the secured creditor unless you modify the plan. You may ask that your plan be modified to remove the car payment, which may allow the plan to be reduce in length or the amount of payments. Even if you modify your plan, you will still be required to contribute your disposable income to the plan during the first 36 months. It has been our experience that it is usually not practical to sell a vehicle being paid for by the plan. It is rare that a vehicle is worth more than the balance owed on the loan. In order to sell the vehicle, the full balance owed to the creditor must be paid—not the reduced amount that must be paid to the creditor under the plan. The full balance is greater than a buyer would be willing to pay. If you decide that you no longer want the vehicle, it is generally possible to give it back to the creditor even if you cannot find a buyer. In that case the plan can usually be modified to remove payment of the vehicle from the plan and possibly reduce the length of the plan or the amount of the payments. Q: Can I pay off my Chapter 13 plan early? A: You can pay ahead a few months on your plan without any problems. Whether you can pay the entire balance of you plan off depends on how many months you are into your plan, and how much of the debt your plan actually pays: You can if your plan pays off 100% of all of your bills. If your plan pays all of the creditors 100% of the debt, you can pay off your plan at any time. Most Chapter 13 plans significantly reduce the amount of money you have to pay back to creditors in order to discharge all of your debts. You may not be able to if you have completed less than 36 months of your plan. If you have completed less than 36 months of your plan, the Chapter 13 trustees may object to an early payoff. This is because § 1325(b) of the code allows the Trustee and unsecured creditors to require that debtor pay all of their projected disposable income for three years into the plan. The trustees that object to early payoff believe that they should be able to increase the amount paid into

the plan if the debtor’s disposable income increases during this three year period, and if an early payoff is allowed they will not be able to do this. However, a number of cases supported the granting of a discharge where the plan has payments are made earlier than the 36th month: Matter of Casper, 154 B.R. 243 (N.D.Ill. 1993) [Debtors discharged their obligation under plan by paying to trustee sufficient funds to cover the 10% owed on unsecured creditors’ claims as provided by plan; trustee’s subsequent motion to modify plan was denied.] In re Smith, 237 B.R. 621 (Bkrtcy.E.D.Tex. 1999) [Debtor was entitled a discharge once she used gift from her family to make lump sum payment of all monies due and owing and expected to be paid under her plan even if received several months before minimum 36-month term of plan.] In re Easley, 205 B.R. 334 (Bankr.M.D.Fla. 1996) [Debtor moved to accelerate plan payments, using money loaned by debtor’s parents and the Trustee objected. The court held that debtor was not required to increase plan payments with loaned funds.] Matter of Koerperich, 5 B.R. 752 (Bkrtcy.D.Neb. 1980) [Debtor who files a zero-payment plan has completed the “payments under the plan� and is eligible for a discharge.] Since the bankruptcy reform act of 2005, Courts have been willing to allow debtors to refinance their properties and use the funds to pay off chapter 13 plans early. However, there are many interpretations of the rules involved, and it also varies from Judge to Judge. Ask your attorney to be sure. If you are in the 36th or later month of your plan, the Chapter 13 trustees will usually accept payment of the balance of the plan payments at any time.

US sends 2 B-1B bombers to S.Korea after DPRK’s nuke test SEOUL, Sept. 21 (PNA/Xinhua) – The US military on Wednesday sent two strategic bombers to South Korea in a show of force against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) over its latest nuclear test. Two B-1B Lancers flew low over the Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, some 70 km south of capital Seoul, at about 1:10 p.m. local time (0410 GMT), according to local media reports. The supersonic bombers had made a sortie from the US air base in Guam. One of the two bombers returned to the Guam base after the fly-over,

but the other unusually landed in the Osan base. How many days the US supersonic bomber will stay in South Korea is unknown. On Sept. 13, the US military dispatched two B-1B bombers to South Korea, but all of them returned back to the Guam base right after flying low over the Osan base for about 10 minutes. The armed protests came after the DPRK said on Sept. 9 that it successfully conducted an explosion test of nuclear warhead to fit on ballistic rockets. The fifth nuclear test was staged just eights month after the

fourth in January. The fifth test was seen as the most powerful nuclear detonation ever by the DPRK as it produced an explosive yield of 10 kilotons, stronger than 6 kilotons recorded in the previous test. Pyongyang said Tuesday that it tested an engine jet on the ground of a carrier rocket for geo-stationary satellite, which Seoul military saw as a long-range missile. The DPRK is expected here to launch a new long-range rocket at or around Oct. 10 to mark the 71st anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea (DPRK).

PHL/Russian officials meet to explore military-technical cooperation

MANILA, Sept. 21 (PNA) – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Wednesday said officials from the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) briefed the Philippine Embassy in Moscow on the different aspects of possible Philippines-Russia military cooperation, including the acquisition of Russian military equipment and technology. The FSMTC is a federal agency directly under the Office of the President of the Russian Federation responsible for control and oversight in the field of military-technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and foreign countries. The DFA statement said those who briefed the embassy officials were Sergey I. Buganov, Chief of the First Department on Military and Technical Cooperation with Foreign States, and Valery A. Orel, Chief of

the Section on Military-Technical Technical Cooperation with Countries of the Asia-Pacific Region. Philippine Ambassador to Russia, Carlos D. Sorreta, and Third Secretary and Vice Consul Luningning Camoying, the Political Officer of the Embassy. “We welcomed the briefing, which was quite revealing, particularly as to the extent that Russia is able to interact with a large number of countries in this field and the different mechanisms that are employed, including in terms of the acquisition and transfer of Russian military equipment,” Ambassador Sorreta said. “This is all part of our job to explore opportunities that could contribute to our government’s efforts to modernize our defense capabilities,” he added. During the briefing, also taken up were the issues of training, after-sales service and maintenance,

transfer of technology, investment in domestic military production and servicing, and different modes of financing. Russia sells military equipment and military-related equipment to a host of nations, from highly developed countries like the United States to developing nations like India, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam. The Pentagon announced earlier this year that the U.S. will buy up to 18 more Russian-built RD-180 engines to power rockets carrying U.S. military satellites into space over the next six years. The briefing followed the recent visit to Moscow of a Department of National Defense Delegation led by Undersecretary for Finance and Materiel, Raymundo De Vera Elefante, which met with top Russian defense officials, including officials of the FSMTC.

Erap intensifies operations vs illegal parking in Manila High profile inmates testifies on illegal drug trade inside prison: High profile inmates at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) appeared at the House of Representatives to testify on the alleged involvement of Senator Leila De Lima in the illegal drug trade inside NBP during the second day of the congressional inquiry on illegal drug trade on Wednesday (Sept. 21, 2016) at the House of Representatives in Quezon City.

Gang leaders claim raising funds for De Lima’s senatorial bid By Filane Mikee Z. Cervantes

MANILA, Sept. 21 (PNA) – Gang leaders on Wednesday appeared before a House of Representatives’ panel to further pinpoint the alleged involvement of Senator Leila De Lima in the illegal drug trade in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP). During the House Justice Committee’s inquiry into the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the national penitentiary, Noel Martinez and Jaime Patcho, who are both gang leaders, testified that fellow inmate Jaybee Sebastian asked them separately to raise campaign funds for then Justice Secretary De Lima. Martinez, commander of Genuine Ilocano Group with 2,200 members, said he was approached by Sebastian in February 2013 to fund De Lima’s senatorial bid in exchange of protection and preferential treatment. Sebastian further revealed to Martinez his plan to centralize drug operations inside the NBP through forging alliances with gang leaders. Although Martinez declined being directly involved in the drug trade, he referred persons outside the NBP who can sell the illegal substances. Martinez also handled the remittance of drug money to Sebastian. ”Hiniling ko na lamang kay Jaybee, at siya ay pumayag, na ako ay magri-reto na lamang sa kanya ng mga pwedeng magbenta sa labas ng Bilibid (I requested Jaybee, which he accepted, to allow me instead to refer people who can sell (drugs) outside the Bilibid),” Martinez said. ”Lahat ng transakyon nila ay alam ko dahil sa tuwing nagdedeposito sila kay Jaybee ay itinitext nila sa akin ang detalye. Ito ang basehan ko upang matiyak na nagri-remit ng maayos ang referral ko (I know all their transactions because they inform me through text messages whenever they make deposits to Jaybee. This serves as my basis to verify if my referrals have remitted correctly),” he added.

MANILA, Sept. 21 (PNA) – To put illegal parking syndicates out of business in the Capital City and clear the major roads to improve traffic flow, Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada is re-intensifying his drive against illegal parking that he said has become a milking cow for profiteering syndicates. An angry Estrada said on Wednesday said that he will launch the Manila-wide Mapping and No Parking Zone program that involves the strict enforcement of the city’s policies against illegal parking. All major roads and barangay streets are covered by the mapping to ensure that all possible alternate routes are not blocked. “Illegal parking has long been a serious problem, congesting our already congested roadways. This is so because it is being tolerated and has become the money-making business of criminal syndicates that earn millions from charging illegal parking fees to motorists,” Estrada said. Aside from Taft Avenue, Estrada said other roads used as “parking lots” by undisciplined vehicle owners are United Nations Avenue, Lawton, Mendiola, Morayta and San Miguel. On Sept. 15, Estrada has earlier declared Rizal Avenue as a no parking zone after a thorough clearing operation that resulted to the impounding of 30 illegally parked tricycles, five motorcycles, 15 light vehicles, and two “kuligligs” or motorized pedicabs. A parking fee collector was also arrested for charging illegal fees to

vehicle owners. Estrada said the revived anti-illegal parking campaign will complement the ongoing road and sidewalk clearing drive of the city government whose main objective is to clear up precious road space that have been encroached upon by illegal vendors and other obstructions. The anti-illegal parking operation is being spearheaded by the Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau (MTPB) headed by former city councilor Dennis Alcoreza. “By citywide mapping, we will clearly identify which areas are the designated parking zones and those that are not. If the street you have parked on is a ‘No Parking Zone’, automatic, huhulihin ka,” Alcoreza pointed out. Alcoreza added the real objective is to deny the vehicle owner any excuse or alibi on why he parked in a non-designated parking area. “Illegal parking is rampant, including perpendicular parking, double parking, marami kasing kumikita, and generally motorists that have no garage for their vehicles,” the MTPB chief lamented. Alcoreza warned that violators will have their vehicles towed or be issued with traffic citation tickets based on the provisions of the Manila Traffic Code and illegal parking regulations of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). To serve as example, Alcoreza said they will soon be clearing Chinatown area of illegally parked vehicles.

Portion of NAIA Expressway now open to motorists By Aerol John B. Patena

MANILA, Sept. 22 (PNA) – A part of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (NAIAX) was opened to motorists early Thursday which will ease traffic around the airport complex. In an advisory, the Inter-Agency Council on Traffic (I-ACT) stated that the toll is free for the first month of the opening of Phase2-A of NAIAX. The first phase of the PHP17.9-billion NAIA Expressway under the public-private partnership (PPP) program will link Macapagal Boulevard near the Entertainment City to NAIA Terminals 1 and 2. The other segment of the toll road, which will connect NAIA Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, is expected to open on December 25.

Upon completion, the project is expected to provide easy access to and from the NAIA. “Traffic congestion in the NAIA complex will now be addressed with the completion of the NAIA Expressway,” Department of Transportation (DOTr) Undersecretary for Administration and Finance Garry De Guzman said during Wednesday’s House transportation committee hearings on the proposed emergency powers to solve the traffic crisis. The Department of Public Works and Highways earlier stated that the project is expected to cut average travel time between the Skyway System or South Luzon Expressway and the NAIA Terminal 1 to 8.2 minutes from approximately 24.3 minutes at present which will benefit around 80,000 travelers per day.

Tokyo, Paris top list of most preferred destinations for Chinese outbound travel CHONGQING, Sept. 21 (PNA/Xinhua) – Tokyo and Paris are the most preferred tourist destinations for Chinese short-distance and long-distance outbound travels, respectively, according to a report issued by the World Tourism Cities Federation (WTCF) at its meeting held in Chongqing Municipality in southwest China. The WTCF report says that Chinese tourists spent USD215 billion during their overseas travels in 2015, accounting for 17 percent all consumption by international customers. More than 120 million Chinese tourists made overseas trips in 2015, up 10.09 percent year-on-year. America, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Britain saw the biggest increase in Chinese tourists in 2015. According to the report, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Osaka, Jeju Island, Nagoya, Pattaya, Singapore, Inchon and Busan were the top 10 most preferred cities for Chinese tourists’ short-distance outbound travel. Paris, Rome, Los Angeles, Sydney, London, Venice, Washington, New York, Florence and Frankfurt were the 10 most favored long-distance destinations. The report said that the strong growth of China’s outbound tourism has contributed substantially to the world’s tourist market. Cheng Hong, deputy mayor of Beijing, was named WTCF executive vice president at the two-day meeting, which closed Tuesday. WTCF is a non-governmental organization established in 2012. It now has a membership of 172 cities.

‘Accessible tourism’ to become theme Chinese, Australian arrivals drive record New Zealand visitor numbers for 2016 World Tourism Day: UNWTO WELLINGTON, Sept. 21 (PNA/ Xinhua) – Chinese and Australian travelers drove an annual record in New Zealand visitor numbers for the year to the end of August, the government statistics agency said Wednesday. Visitor numbers were up 11 percent from the August 2015 year to a new high of 3.36 million, according to Statistics New Zealand. A 17-percent increase in holiday arrivals to 1.73 million was largely

responsible, said a commentary from the agency. The biggest changes in visitor arrivals by country of residence between the August years were from China (up 83,700 to 404,200), Australia (up 81,100 to 1.38 million) and the United States (up 30, 000 to 266,300). Holidaymakers and visits to friends and relatives accounted for 81 percent of all visitor arrivals in the August year.

MADRID, Sept. 21 (PNA/Xinhua) –The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) confirmed on Tuesday that “accessible tourism” would become this year’s theme for World Tourism Day on Sept. 27. UNTWO highlighted in a press release from its head office here, that World Tourism Day had long aimed “to foster awareness of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic impact.” “Everyone has the right to access

leisure and tourism services on an equal basis. Yet, one billion people around the world living with disability, along with young children, seniors and persons with other access requirements, still face obstacles in accessing fundamentals of travel,” United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said in a message. That message was reflected by UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai who commented that everyone had “the right to experience the incredible diversity this planet has to offer.”

Am I the only one having difficulty in deciphering utility bills? On my recent At & T home phone monthly statement, I was appalled by the sudden increase of my home phone or landline bill from less than $50.00 to almost $80.00 (an increase of around $30.00). To my surprise, on the statement’s front page is a summary of “Combined Communications Services,” which listed the following: Metro Plan, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Call Return, Call Screen, Priority Ringing, Select Dial Forwarding, Speed Calling, Three Way Calling, Unlimited National Clg Advantage, Caller ID Selective Blocking and 900/978 Blocking, totaling $57.00 in monthly services. I’m even clueless as to the difference between a “Caller ID” and a “Caller Screen,” and I actually DON’T even care to have the rest of the above listed “Combied Communication Services,” which according to the Customer Service Rep comes as a “standard package INCLUDED” in a regular phone service. Much like the saying that goes: ‘if you don’t ask, you don’t get,” I furiously called their supposed

Customer Service number shown on the second page under “Important Information.” The number stated there was: “800/288-2020 OR visit att.com.” Upon calling that particular number, I found out that it was a DIRECTV number. and not AT & T. So, upon more research, I found out that I had to call: 877/377-0415 for AT&T’sCustomer Service. While speaking with the same Customer Service Rep, I requested him to pull up my home phone history payments and asked him the reason why my bill was increased and also pointed out all the unnecessary service charges I didn’t need. Though he argued that all the services listed were standard inclusions on all monthly phone statements, he

readily DECREASED my bill to less than $50.00, which was the standard monthly payment I’ve been used to, since I had my phone installed ten years ago. Thank goodness, I kept my monthly records in a place where I can compare previous statements with current ones. Therefore, this to me, was a lesson learned: all of us should take time to read our monthly statements, and to make sure we’re not being billed for unnecessary services. Cable service statements also present other problems. Here is another situation where consumers like us should keep up with changes in our utility services. Recently, I also received another utility monthly statement from DirecTV for the month of August.. Due to a roof construction on our building the month prior which took around a week, from August 13th through August 18th, all of us who lived in the building were without cable services for the whole week. Gladly, a week had passed and a DirecTV technician came to re-install our satellite disks

as three of us building tenants had DirecTV services. Upon receipt of my monthly statement, I was surprised to see that there was NO indication that I was WITHOUT cable service for a week, and I was billed the normal amount I was paying. Much like my AT & T problem, I called and spoke with DirecTV’s Customer Service Rep and he readily acknowledged their error in not giving me credit for a week’s loss of cable service. To some people, this might not be a big of a deal, but for people like us, it’s the principle behind it that counts. Once again, as mentioned previously, the same saying applies: “if you don’t ask, you don’t get.” As consumers, we’re grateful to these utility service companies for helping us go through our daily lives, in these modern technological times, though we also have to learn to speak up when these same companies overlook discrepancies in their services. Only then can we trust them and not feel that we’re being taken advantaged of.

AAAJ hosts Pan Asian Citizenship “National Citizenship” Day event By Myrna Aquitania

Last Saturday, November 17th, Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAAJ), the marketing arm for “Endless Possibilities. Citizenship Now” media campaign, through the sponsorship of the California Community Foundation, hosted a Pan Asian “National Citizenship” day at the East Los Angeles Community Service Center. The event was in partnership with Bank of America, Citibank, Hope Depot, UPS and other community-based organizations such as the Alzheimer’s of Greater Los Angeles. According to the Honorable Mike Eng, lawyer, former Assemblymember and Board of Trustee of the Los Angeles Community College, there are “an estimated 300,000 Asian immigrants eligible for U.S. Citi-

zenship. Of this, more than half, or 165,000 live in the Los Angeles County area alone.” Mr. Eng further explained that the “Endless Possibilities” campaign is focused on promoting the benefits of applying for citizenship to those Asian immigrants who are unaware of the various benefits on becoming U.S. citizens, such as: the ability to petition parents, or parents petitioning for their married or unmarried children. and brothers or sisters alike. He also emphasized that the best time to apply for this privilege is now that its election time, so when they become citizens, they can exercise their privilege to vote during the upcoming election and thus, give them the honor of being counted in a collective voice in the community.

Project Director of AAAJ, further explained that AAAJ offers FREE citizenship services to assist “seven Asian languages (Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Japanese, Taiwanese, Cambodian, etc.) to nearly 150 individuals seeking U.S. citizenship, “ and that there are “volunteer lawyers and BIA accredited staff trained according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) standards, who are able to provide screening eligibility and guidance on securing fee waivers if necessary, as well as legal assistance for those eligible.” In addition, Nasim also explained that “U.S. citizenship protects immigrants from deportation; it also provides access to better jobs and increased income, as well as it qualifies family members for immigration to the United States.” In closing, she said that Los Angeles is home to more than 1 million people who speak an Asian language and through the “Endless Possibi-

lites” campaign, AAAJ hopes “to empower those whose native language is not English, to take the first step towards U.S. citizenship and to make sure that each applicant are made aware that they will be supported throughout the entire process, by people they can trust with their private and confidential information.” During the event, Nasim led us on a tour of the first floor facility, where there were around 200 applicants being screened and interviewed at the community workshop room, for eligibility. The screening room was divided by ethnic Asian language groups such as: Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Japanese, etc. We were then finally ushered to the second floor, where volunteer lawyers do the intake and consulting with applicants in order to guide and assist them through the citizenship application process. The event ended with a Certificate of Commendation given to AAAJ by See AAAJ HOST, page 12

Clients choose chapter 13 to avoid risk of losing house to chapter 7 trustee on steriods The first case involves clients who are still young. By young, I mean less than fifty, late forties. They have teenage children, one son, and two daughters. Their household income is about $75K a year. Husband used to work two jobs as a technician, while wife used to own a retail business, now defunct. She still makes some money but hardly enough to pay for her $68K of credit card debt. She racked up this debt when she used these cards to support a failing business, just to keep the business afloat for two more years. Husband owes only $20K of credit cards. Together, clients owe about $90K of credit cards. Minimum monthly payments are almost $3k a month. Needless to say, wife’s cards are now all past due, while husband’s cards are still current, as a last ditch effort to hold the fort, the same thing that Gen. Custer did. Thinking he could protect the fort, the Indians won and Custer died. Three Indian tribes, the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho decimated the 7th cavalry of Gen. Custer, which had 700 men. Custer and his two brothers died in the battle of ‘Little Big Horn� in 1876. So, I’m not so sure if it’s a good idea to take a last stand to try to pay $90K of credit card debt when clients’ household income, although decent at $75K a year, because there is no way mathematically for clients’ to pay $90K of credit card debt with minimum payments. These cards will never get paid in clients’ lifetime, unless they win the power ball lottery. Dream on. The chance of winning power ball is 1 in 292 million. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning, twice, than winning power ball. After a little probing, I determine that clients want a Chapter 7 to wipe out all of the $90K credit cards. The problem is that their residence has about $130K of equity. It has a cur-

rent fair market value of $450K and they owe about $320K on it. It this was four years ago, they could easily sail through a Chapter 7 without the risk of losing their house to an aggressive Chapter 7 trustee. Of course, their homestead exemption is $100K plus about $25K for cost of sale of the house, so there is no viable equity for the trustee to take, so there is minimal risk to the house. But there is a five percent chance that the trustee that gets assigned to clients’ case is the most aggressive Chapter 7 trustee when it comes to non exempt assets, particularly houses. If this misfortune should befall clients, this is just the worst thing that can happen to a Chapter 7 debtor with “borderline� exempt equity in the house, having to deal with a Chapter 7 trustee on steroids who is hell bent on selling your house for $1 of non-exempt equity. And even though debtors have the right to convert to Chapter 13 anytime, to escape the clutches of a Chapter 7 trustee who wants to sell their house, the right to convert is not absolute. This trustee will certainly oppose the conversion to Chapter 13. His trustee and legal fees to fight the conversion to Chapter 13 can easily reach $25K, and all of that $25K must be paid in full the Chapter 13 as priority Chapter 7 administrative fees. So even the trustee loses on the opposition, he still wins, because he still gets paid $25K in the Chapter 13 case. It doesn’t pass the smell test for fairness, but in reality, that’s the

way it works. I have one case now and we are fighting to keep debtor’s house in Chapter 7 (no conversion to Chapter 13) because debtor owes more than $1.0M of unsecured debt. We are fighting the trustee in an adversary case because this house doesn’t even have non-exempt equity but the trustee is making it appear that debtor lied under oath and now asks for denial of discharge to debtor. I just can’t believe what is going on in this case. But we are fighting it 100%, and in this case, we are the Indians. To avoid this kind of scenario altogether, it is safer for clients to choose Chapter 13. In Chapter 13, they can pay a small amount, maybe $300 a month for sixty months. After having paid $18,000 in sixty months with no interest, the difference between $90K and $18K, $72K will be discharged with the last payment on the 60th payment. This means that clients will pay 20% of their $90K credit cards over 5 years with no interest, the court will discharge 80% of $72K on the 60th payment. In Chapter 13, there is no risk of clients’ losing their house to the trustee because Chapter 13 trustees do not have the power to sell houses. On the other hand, Chapter 7 trustees have the power to sell your house if there is viable non-exempt equity. To avoid the hassle of dealing with an over aggressive Chapter 7 trustee and risk losing their house, clients chose to file Chapter 13 and pay 20% of their credit card debt. And may I add, this is the right choice because there is no risk to the house which they want to keep, and $300 plan payment is certainly a lot less than $3K a month for minimum payments that never end, with a bright light at the end of the 60th payment when $72K is discharged by the court! In 5 years, clients will owe zero unsecured debt, and they will still have their house, which may then have

$200K of equity if Hillary Clinton becomes president. I’m with her. We are stronger together. Second client is a young senior. She is only 55. Divorced ten years ago. Now lives by herself. She used to be a happy camper with a $40K yearly salary. But she lost that job last year. She is stuck with $22K of credit card debt. She pays $900 a month for these cards to keep them current. But her savings are quickly diminishing. When it’s a choice between paying $900 of rent which lets her have a roof over her head for a month, or $900 to mastercard and visa, given the fact that she now has no income, it’s really a no brainer. The $22K of credit cards has to be discharged. She chooses Chapter 7 to achieve this goal. \ Her credit score will go up pretty fast since she still pays for a car. In two years her credit score will be about 620. Within a couple of months of getting her discharge, she will get new credit cards mailed to her. Some credit cards specialize in giving credit to people who have come out of Chapter 7. Chapter 7 is the best choice for client. “Give unto the lord the glory due to his name; worship the lord in the beauty of holiness.� Psalm 29:2 Lawrence Bautista Yang is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and has been in Law practice for thirty years.

DE LIMA SCREWING

President Rodrigo Duterte delivers a speech at the Sulong Pilipinas: Local Governance Series of Consultations on Peace and Order and Social Development held in SMX Convention Center, Davao City on September 20.(MNS photo)

From page 1

”She was used to the poster girl with all sense of righteousness and indignation shouting everywhere ‘Duterte’…. I don’t care who are those witnesses. The truth would really come out,” the President said. The witnesses, including alleged drug lord Herbert Colangco, said in the House of Representatives inquiry into the proliferation of the illegal drugs at the national penitentiary that De Lima raised fund from illegal drug trades at the NBP for her election campaign in the last May elections. Meanwhile, Presidential Communications Operations Secretary Martin Andanar said he will call De Lima to inquire about her claim that the lady senator’s life is in danger after her cellular number and address were exposed by convicted robber Herbert Colangco in the last Tuesday’s House inquiry into the proliferation of drugs at the New Bilibid Prison. ”I don’t know about it. Let me call the senator and ask her,” Andanar said. Andanar assured that all Filipinos, including De Lima, will be se-

cured by the police and the military. He appealed to the supporters of President Duterte not to harass De Lima or anyone, including media, who criticized the President’s intensified war on drugs. ”For the supporters of President Duterte, let’s be responsible. It is not good to threaten our own countrymen. Of course Senator De Lima is our senator and an elected official. And also our media who are being harassed. Social media is a free space and we can say whatever we wanna say,” Andanar said. Andanar said the aggressive campaign against illegal drugs has made the streets safer for everybody. ”We have many friends working on a night shift that they are no longer worried. So the environment has really change,” he said.

RIGHT TO FISH From page 1

The President said he believes that China will talk to him in good faith. ”It’s not territorial. If territorial, we could have killed each other a long time ago. It’s the sovereign entitlement,” he explained. He said China got angry with the Philippines when former President Benigno Aquino III brought the WPS issue to the international arbitral tribunal in The Hague.

President Duterte is scheduled to visit China as well as Japan this year but before going to these countries, he will visit Vietnam next week. Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Martin Andanar said in a press briefing that President Duterte will tackle the WPS issue during his working visit to Vietnam. ”It will be discussed,” Andanar said during the briefing in Malacañang Palace.

CORRUPT AGENCIES From page 1

“Itong sa Customs, BIR, it will be history. I am warning the people there, either you stop or you will become part of history,” the President said. Meanwhile, President Duterte said that since he assumed office on June 30, he has consistently done the very things he promised during his campaign. For the other major concerns like the economy, the President said he has picked the best people for the job. “Nung nanalo ako, ‘yun lang ang issue ko. And of course I said, the economic factors would come in, if you have already set up the government. So I’ll just hire the best economic minds of the country

to work for me,” he said. As mayor of Davao City, the President successfully purged the city’s problem of drugs and crime. Now that he has become the President, he said he did not realize the extent of the damage the illegal drug trade has done to the country and how it has corrupted some members of the police and even government officials. Realizing the threat, President Duterte declared an all-out war against illegal drugs and utilized both the police and military in the government’s intensified campaign. In less than three months, the public has begun to see a remarkably different landscape.

FANATICS From page 1

to supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte. On Tuesday night, De Lima said she had already received almost 2,000 text messages from unknown numbers. During a House inquiry on illegal drug operations inside the New Bilibid Prison, convict Herbert Colanggo was asked what cellphone number he called when he allegedly discussed

in January 2014 with De Lima the payoffs supposedly coursed through the then secretary’s aide. Colanggo gave the number and it was confirmed as De Lima’s following verification by some members of the House. The House probe was aired not only on national television but was also streamed by many news websites. (MNS)

John Estrada opens up about working with Gelli

Actor John Estrada sees nothing wrong working with actress Gelli de Belen in the upcoming series “Magpahanggang Wakas,” starring Arci Muñoz and Jericho Rosales. In a recent press conference for the primetime series, Estrada praised Gelli, the sister of his former wife Janice de Belen. “Magaling si Gelli. Actually I’m surprised and happy kasi kapag nag-uusap kami sa set—na hindi naman madalas ‘yon—eh sinasabi niya sa akin na medyo rusty siya, nangangalawang siya dahil matagal siyang hindi gumawa John Estrada ng kasing laki at kasing seryosong soap na ganito. But magaling siya, Estrada said. “Maganda din ‘yung bakbakan namin sa soap na ito, so exciting,” he added. According to the show’s business unit head Ruel S. Bayani, they get actors based on who will best fit the characters of a story. “Wala kaming malisya doon whatsoever. The same way na hindi ko naisip na kukunin ko si Priscilla Mereilles doon sa ‘Be My Lady’ eh si Janice nga pala ay nandoon. Hindi naman kasi kina-casting ang mga tao para may gimik o pag-usapan. Pinipili sila based on character essence, kung ano ang bagay sa character, kung sino ang bagay,” he explained. Bayani said Gelli has no problem working with Estrada, whom he described as a good actor. “Nagkataon na Gelli was going to return to ABS-CBN and we are offering her shows. Eksakto dumating ito. I offered this to her. Ang sabi niya, walang problema na magtrabaho sila ni John because wala siyang problema kay John at all, at sabi niya na mahusay naman talagang artista si John which we all know. In fact, nung mapanood ko ang umang scenes nila, sabi ko nga, ‘Wow ang galing, more than what I expected, beyond our expectations,” Bayani added. “Magpahanggang Wakas” debut on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida block last September 19.

Congen Adelio Angelito Cruz ‘Meets and Greets’ Pinoys in Bellflower What was intended to be an intimate gathering to welcome LA’s top public official from the Philippines turned out to be not so with Pinoys from various parts of Southern California coming in force for the event. Newly installed Consul General Adelio Angelito Cruz, turned out to be a “crowd drawer” with some attendees coming from as far as San Diego to meet him at the Original Lapid Filipino Cuisine in Bellflower known for its delicious Filipino food fares. Two city mayors were also at the event to “meet and greet” him Cerritos Mayor Pro Tempore Mark E. Pulido and former Carson City Mayor Jim Dear. It was not actually the first time that the members of the Filipino community had the honor of meeting the Consul General Cruz as

many in the crowd already met him at the Consulate-sponsored introduction event held at the Consulate very recently. Only this time, the meet and greet event attended by members of the business, professional and political sectors within the jurisdiction of the Consular Office had a less formal atmosphere and was an occasion for the Consul General to enjoy Filipino cuisine and the warm welcome of an expanded crowd. The trio of Elena Salonga Lapid, Mutch Carino and Andy Edralin,

Buena Park Tennis Circle: Buena Park Tennis Circle scored another ace as it concluded the summer season with a doubles tennis tournament, the fourth in the club’s history. Winners of the tournament held at Boisseranc Park tennis courts are doubles partners Buddy and Ebiong with Mario and Monching settling for the 1st runner up trophy.

Consul General Cruz is the “face” of President Rody Duterte’s much vaunted image of change outside of the Philippines. Already those familiar with the Consular Office are beginning to notice the changes that had taken place courtesy of the existing personnel in the interim

period before Consul General Cruz formally assumed his post from his assignment in Tripoli. And more changes are forthcoming according to the Consul General. In his brief remarks Congen Cruz reiterated his commitment to improve consular services and optimize his effort at touching base with the Filipino community is his jurisdiction which includes Southern California, Southern Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

Can I obtain a divorce if my spouse refuse to sign? There seems to be a misconception in the general public that you can only obtain a divorce in California if your spouse will sign the divorce papers. I get this question a lot from our family law clients. The fact is that California is a no fault state and you do not need your spouse’s signature in order to get a divorce. What is more important is being able to properly serve your spouse with the divorce petition and satisfy the jurisdictional requirement of the Court by showing that either you or your spouse resided in the State for at least 6 months prior to filing the petition and in the County for 3 months prior to filing the petition. When you file a divorce petition, you have to serve your spouse with the summons and petition. Your spouse then has 30 days to file a response after being served with a divorce petition. If your spouse fails to file and serve you with a response, you can file a request for default against your spouse after 30 days. You can also file a proposed judgment for the court to approve. The default procedure can be done even if there are issues of property division, custody, visitation, and support. However, the Court will still review your proposed judgment and property division to make sure it conforms to the policy towards equal division of community property. Meaning, you have to propose a division of community property that is pretty much equal between the spouses. If your proposed property division is one sided such as distributing all community property to you and giving all the community debts to your spouse, the Court would probably not grant your judgment. The Court would probably set a hearing for you

to explain why this is an equal division of community property. The only time you may need your spouse’s signature is if your spouse files a response to your divorce petition. This is called "contesting" the divorce. If your divorce is contested by your spouse, you can resolve the case either by "settlement" or by "trial." However, you do not have to settle all the issues in the case at once. Under the concept of divisible divorce, you can settle some of the issues and set the other issues which you and your spouse cannot agree on for trial. Our office try to resolve cases through settlement because it is more cost effective and the parties are usually happier with the outcome. In that situation, the parties may avoid the cost and uncertainty of going to trial by executing what is called a stipulated judgment which is in essence an agreement as to all the issues in the divorce case. For issues which you and your spouse cannot agree on, you will have to go through the litigation process which involves obtaining discovery, exchanging declarations of disclosures, and preparing the case for trial. Ultimately, you will obtain your divorce at trial in addition to adjudication of the distribution of community assets and debts amongst other issues. It is in the best interest of the party to retain the

representation of competent counsel who will assert his or her rights under the family code. Please note that this article is not legal advice and is not intended as legal advice.

DOTr lays out measures to improve maritime, aviation as House continues hearing on emergency powers By Aerol John B. Patena

MANILA, Sept. 21 (PNA) – The House of Representatives Transportation Committee has asked the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to specify the scope of the crisis in maritime and aviation sectors as hearing continues on the proposed emergency powers to solve the traffic crisis in Metro Manila and other urban centers in the country. The hearing focused on the congestion that currently occurs in shipping ports and airports in the country. “We intend to address traffic in relation to the maritime and aviation sectors,” said House committee chairperson Catanduanes Rep. Cesar Sarmiento.

He related that the committee is interested in looking into factors that lead to congestions in airports and ports. “For the maritime sector, are you referring to port congestion or road congestion of arterial roads supporting ports? For the aviation sector, are you referring to airport congestion or congestion in roads going to airports,” Sarmiento asked the DOTr representatives who attended the hearing. For his part, DOTr Undersecretary for the maritime sector Felipe Judan stated that the Department is studying the proposal to establish a truck holding area outside ports to decongest traffic.

Need debt help but too embarrassed to ask?

Have you ever faced a situation in your life where you needed help so badly but you were just too afraid or embarrassed to ask for it? Perhaps you felt confused and overwhelmed with the problem that you spent sleepless nights trying to figure out what to do. Over the years I have met a lot of people who were simply too embarrassed to seek help with their debt problems even though they desperately need it.. Of course, this is perfectly understandable. After all, financial matters are often too personal that we don’t even share this kind of information with our family or closest friends. So what happens is that instead of getting the help that they need badly, some people end up doing nothing to change their situation for the better. Does this describe anyone you know, perhaps you? On the outside, everything might look great. Maybe no one has a clue about what you are going through and as much as possible your pride tells you to keep it that way. But how is that going to help you? I’m here to tell you that it’s OK. There is no shame in getting the help that you need. Everyone goes through the same problems that you are going through at some point in life. And like most problems, what you are going through is only temporary. There are brighter days ahead. If there is one thing in life that’s certain, it’s this: Things always change. Someday you will look back to where you are now and realize that what I’m telling you is true. If you are struggling with debt problems and don’t even know where to being in finding a solution, it’s time to consult with an attorney

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Sept. 22 (PNA) – Firebrand Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday called the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) “hypocrites.” Duterte made the statement after the ceremonial switch-on of the 405 coal-fired power plant in Misamis Oriental in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. In his speech, Duterte said that the EU and the US, both highly industrialized countries, were trying to regulate the use of non-renewable energy sources in developing nations like the Philippines. “While the EU is hell bent on imposing the lowering of the carbon emissions, they also forget that they were the first to maximize the use of fossil fuels and the first to pollute the planet,” Duterte said. The President said that the EU was playing “double standards” when it wanted to control the carbon footprint when they themselves created the problem in the first place. He said the EU wanted the third-world nations to lower the emission of carbon in such a way that these countries could not move forward with their development agenda due to the energy protocols being set by the international environment-regulating bodies. “Kataw-ana ning mga puti (these Caucasians are ridiculous),” he said, referring to the EU and the US who had released statements condemning Duterte over the rising cases of extrajudicial killings in the country as a result of the government’s war on illegal drugs. Duterte, however, said that, at present, the use of coal in producing energy was the most viable option for the Philippines. “If we want to industrialize our country, because we are left behind by so many generations, we have to keep up with developments. [Coal plant] is the main option right now because is cheap, it’s available, although it may have an impact on the planet,” Duterte said. Duterte made the statement to a limited audience of 350 invited guests, during the inauguration of the 405-megawatt coal-fired power plant of the FDC Misamis Power Corp. (FDC Misamis) in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, Thursday afternoon.

OPINION

‘Sincerity’ cited as reason why ceasefire is working

MANILA, Sept. 21 (PNA) – Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III has credited the sincerity of the Philippine government and the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)as the reason why the ceasefire between the two parties appears to be holding. “It is indicative of the sincerity of both parties in the (peace) process which augurs well for peace,” Bello, the government’s chief negotiator, said of the lull in fighting. With no encounter to breach the ceasefire, the peace negotiator is optimistic that a bilateral agreement would be reached and put in place when the second round of peace negotiations resumes on Oct. 4-10 in Oslo, Norway. The talks were originally slated for Oct. 8-12, but both parties agreed to move the date. It can be recalled that President Rodrigo Duterte restored a unilateral and indefinite ceasefire on the eve of the formal resumption of the peace talks with the CPP, the New People’s Army and the National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) on Aug. 21 to create a favorable condition for the negotiations. This resulted in the NDF extending indefinitely its seven-day (Aug. 21-27) goodwill ceasefire. The move was lauded as “historic and unprecedented”, having been inspired by the release of 22 detained NDF consultants, the most number of prisoners released by the government to date. In the 30-year history of government peace negotiations with the CPP-NPA-NDF, the talks have been disrupted for at least 15 times. The breakdown in the talks was mainly due to two issues: the release of detained NDF consultants and declaration of ceasefire. With both issues addressed, the formal resumption of peace talks on Aug. 22-28 in Oslo was made possible. Ceasefire was one of agenda items taken up by both panels during the Oslo talks. Both parties agreed to submit drafts for the formal bilateral ceasefire agreement when negotiations resume first week of October. “Hopefully, this will ripen to a bilateral and permanent ceasefire and finally the end of hostilities,” Bello said. In close to 50 years of guerrilla war launched by the NDF, through its armed wing the NPA, more than 150,000 people have been killed in armed clashes and violent incidents. The Philippine military said the NPA has been reduced to less than 4,000 armed regulars scattered all over the Philippine archipelago. But in Oslo, NDF panel chief negotiator Luis Jalandoni claimed they have 10,000 armed regulars operating in more than 120 guerrilla fronts that cover more than 72 provinces. The formal talks between the government and the CPPNPA-NDF are entering the more substantive phase of the peace negotiations, with both parties submitting outlines and drafts on social and economic reforms and political and constitutional reforms in the next round. Both parties will also take up a proposed amnesty proclamation for all listed detained NDF members. The cessation of hostilities and disposition of forces will also be tackled simultaneously during the talks. The parties earlier agreed to accelerate the peace process with the government peace panel expressing confidence that a final peace agreement will be signed within a year.

A lying Senator?

Within a span of two weeks, embattled Senator Leila “lying” De Lima has delivered two privilege speeches in the Senate, hoping to solicit support and sympathy from the public in the face of serious allegations against her, among them that she made millions of pesos for being a drug coddler. Earlier, Senator De Lima even presented during a senate hearing on extra judicial killings, a self-confessed killer, Edgar Matobato, who claimed to be a former member of the dreaded “Davao Dearth Squad” being liked to President Rodrigo Duterte. Most senators, however cast doubt on the credibility of the self-confessed killer Matobato. Most probably, like so many people think, Matobato was put up by De Lima to testify against Duterte to deflect the negative publicity she is expected to get as a result of the on-going congressional probe on her alleged link with drug lords. De Lima has been trying her best to seek the support and sympathy of her fellow senators as well as the public amid serious allegations against her involvement in the illegal drug trade. She is claiming innocence of all the charges being leveled against her. It would be very difficult for someone to believe that an “adulterer” is an honest person. De Lima seems like she’s pretending to be lamb but actually the wolf. I am sure that if the public will be allowed to decide whether to convict or exonerate De Lima for her alleged major role in protecting big-time drug lords during her reign as Justice Secretary, the result will be a 95 per cent conviction. I listened briefly to her privilege speech and I almost puked. She started by saying that “Our nation is in crisis and in real danger posed by illegal drugs trade, including bribery and corruption of our public officials...” She however did not mention that the pro-

liferation of drugs in the country grew by almost 80 to 95 percent during the Aquino administration and during her term as Justice Secretary because they did nothing, and they allowed the illegal drugs business to flourish. She even had the audacity to lambast Duterte’s brand of Justice, for “disregarding” the rights of suspects to due process. She also said that the attack on her is also an attack on the Senate as an independent institution. What she forgot to mention, however, was that she too disregarded the rights to due process of former President Gloria Arroyo and her husband, Mike Arroyo when she was justice secretary. It may be recalled that despite the absence of any warrant of arrest issued against the Arroyo couple, De Lima personally prevented the Arroyos from leaving the country to seek medical treatment in the United States. With regards to her claim that the attack on her is also an affront to the Senate, she only has to blame herself for what she did to the trio of Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla. Although I sincerely believed that Enrile, Estrada and Revilla are all guilty of pocketing large portions of their DAP and PDAF allocations, De Lima should have given them their right to due process. But the tables have turned. She, however, claims that her defense against all allegations against her is her untarnished record and reputation as a public servant. How could De Lima claimed to have a good reputation as a public servant when she corrupted her driver/bodyguard to become her lover and live-in partner for years since her stint as chairperson of the Commission on Human Right (CHR) Liars and adulterers should not be allowed to serve in Congress because it will only erode farther the public’s trust among politicians.

On martial law anniversary: Labor group calls for justice for slain leader, victims of extrajudicial killings By Leilani S. Junio

MANILA, Sept. 21 (PNA) – The militant Partido Manggagawa (PM) called on Wednesday for a stop to the killings due to the war on drugs and justice for one of its leaders who was ambushed and killed in Cebu last Saturday. The call was made by PM as they joined the big mobilization of the coalition iDefend (In Defense of Human Rights and Dignity) Wednesday afternoon to commemorate the anniversary of the declaration of martial law in September 1972. “On the 44th anniversary of martial law, the struggle for human rights and democracy for all remains as relevant and critical as ever. With the war on drugs claiming thousands of lives and a state of lawlessness imposed on the whole country, civil liberties and democratic freedoms are under clear and present danger,” Wilson Fortaleza, PM spokesperson, said. Fortaleza added, “The prevailing climate of impunity that has resulted in wanton killings of alleged drug pushers and addicts has also provided fertile ground for politically motivated slayings.” He said that the ambush-killing of PM-Cebu leader and organizer Orlando Abangan a few days ago is testament to this. He noted that Abangan’s murder came after the killing of Gloria Capitan, an environmental activist in Bataan, last July 1, on the first official day in office of the Duterte administration. He warned that extrajudicial killings done

in the name of the war on drugs are spilling onto slayings of human rights defenders. The iDefend members started assembling at 2 p.m. in Bustillos Church in Sampaloc, Manila, before marching to Plaza Miranda in Quiapo for a mass and program. At 6 p.m., the group iDefend marchers lighted candles to commemorate the victims of martial law, the war on drugs and political killings of human rights defenders like Abangan and Capitan. Meanwhile, Fortaleza said that in Cebu, PM and other militant and human rights groups also held a rally on Wednesday to call for justice for Abangan and Capitan. The group also marched around downtown Colon in Cebu City to call for a stop to the killings and to never forget the terrors of martial law. “We call on the authorities for a swift but thorough investigation of the killing of ‘Ka Lando’ Abangan. We know that they are already pursuing leads that point to certain suspects. Still we urge them not to stop at the arresting suspected gunman but to probe who the mastermind is,” said Dennis Derige, PM-Cebu spokesperson. Derige insisted that ‘Ka Lando’ was not involved in drugs and was respected in his community as an activist. His group further stated they believed that the killing was politically motivated and related to his work as a human rights defender of urban poor and workers. He also revealed that five days before Abangan was shot to death, the latter escaped a first attempt on his life.

Stateside: an indie film on Pinoy ‘TNT’ in US By Abner Galino

STATESIDE, in the Filipino context, means the “best of all imports.” Obviously, the word evolved in the Philippines when there were still an abundance of products that carried “made in USA” tags. “Stateside ‘yan,” was often said to stress that a product was made in the USA and therefore, superior to other products made somewhere else. The borrowed word lost its luster when American companies began manufacturing products in China. Nevertheless, the Filipino love affair with America continues.

15

As attested by Filipino actor Mon Confiado -- - said during a recent press conference in Los Angeles -the adoration of Filipinos for anything “stateside” is but a manifestation of their longings to live the American life, to pursue the American dream. Confiado admitted that he too used to harbor the same desire when he was younger. The actor said it was one of the reasons why he got excited when he asked to play the role of a Filipino who came to the US for the first time and was jolted to his senses by the harsh realities of immigration.

Colina Salon opens new Skin Care and Med Spa Services In time for it’s seventh year celebration, Colina Salon has opened its new Skin Care and MedSpa Services in their Long Beach Bixby Knolls location. According to salon owner, Marlou Colina, their salon is “committed to provide the highest standard in hair and skin care services to the Filipino and non-Filipino market, not only in the Los Angeles area, but nationwide as well. During its grand opening celebration on Sunday, September 11th, Colina Salon has brought in what he calls “The Missing Link” to complete his salon’s services, to include its new aesthetic surgical and non-surgical services, provided by Hyder Mukadam, M.D., a cosmetic surgeon and a

Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. In his opening remarks during the Spa’s grand opening celebration, Marlou said that “he was grateful, privileged and blessed to have met Dr. Mukadam in order to innovate and thrive in his flourishing business.” Dr. Hyder Mukadam graduated with a degree in Medicine from the University of Bombay, India in 1977 and pursued his medical specialzation in Cosmetic Surgery in 1993 at the Graduate Hospital of Philadelphia and subsequently receiving post graduate training in General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery and Plastic Surgery.

Filipino American director Marcial Chavez said the film is a mixture of drama and suspense. He said the movie would try to bring out some truths about the Filipinos in the US and dispel some myths about life in America. Chavez said the main character would realize at the end of the movie that “what he really wanted is to be back home.” Interestingly, American actors Olivia Hutlgreen and Ryan Walker who both play significant roles in the movie, both revealed that moving from one state to another state, to a certain degree, approximate transnational migration. “The idea of home, is what really struck a chord with me in this story. Because home is something that I think about all the time... and I originally come from Minnesota...which is in the midwest of this country,” Hutlgreen intimated. Hutlgreen said Los Angeles now

feels like home because of the people who embraced her and became part of her life. Ryan Walker, for his part, intimated that he also made a lot of adjustments when he settled in Los Angeles when he was only 18 years old. He said it took him some time to acclimatize and to know people. The actor added that he also got into negative situations in the past because he mistakenly got involved with wrong people. Another actor who plays a significant role in the movie, Craig Cooper, said the movie would also show the “ugly struggles” on both sides of the immigration divide. Cooper said the “and the love and openness of both sides to just act as humans and not look at it (immigration) as a problem” gave the movie a great touch. Stateside is on the last stage of production works and is expected to be in the theaters in January.

HUDCC Chair Leni Robredo to fast track Batanes housing rebuild Vice President and Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Chairperson Leni Robredo met with the heads of the Key Shelter Agencies (KSAs) to discuss solutions for the victims of recent Super Typhoon Ferdie— which fortunately took no lives but nonetheless rendered the province of Batanes under a state of calamity. “Bagama’t walang namatay sa ating mga kababayan sa Batanes, marami naman ang nawalan ng tahanan at iyon ang gusto nating matugunan nang agaran at mabilisan,� Robredo said.

The proposed housing recovery strategy is to skip the transition from temporary housing to more permanent housing for the residents of Batanes. Robredo has previously noted the process for application of temporary housing relief is too long, with beneficiaries often receiving the temporary aid years after the storm hits. HUDCC has committed to ensure well-coordinated efforts from the six KSAs under its umbrella in the procuring of materials for construction, transportation of goods and warehousing. As Batanes is under a state of calamity and also a remote

Keeping kids safe around electricity SCE offers these tips to help kids stay safe, including childproofing outlets fore reaching for anything powered by electricity. – Grasp the plug, not the cord, to remove a power cord from an outlet. – Play far away from trees that are touching or near power lines. – Always ask an adult when you need to use something that needs electricity. Use interactive videos, games and activities to teach electrical safety. SCE offers videos and games that engage kids while they learn about electrical safety. Your local library or bookstores are also great resources for children’s books that explain and illustrate how electricity works. You can also use this home inspection activity with your child to review how to use electricity safely in your home. For more tips and resources on electrical safety for kids of all ages, parents and teachers, visit: sce.e-smartonline.net. This story first appeared in the Edison Newsroom.

By Sally Jeun Southern California Edison

September 19, 2016 – A child’s natural curiosity and sense of adventure can fuel learning, but it can also lead to dangerous situations and injuries when it comes to electricity. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, 2,400 children in the U.S. are treated for injuries caused by electrical outlets each year and nearly a third of parents with young children do not have their outlets childproofed. Southern California Edison has some tips on how to keep kids safe around electricity: – Talk to your kids in a way that is simple and easy to understand. In your home, electricity runs the lights, television, toaster and more. Electricity is a form of energy that travels through wires from power plants all the way into your home. Electricity can also flow through bodies, water and other materials that can cause a shock or fire hazard. – Go over house rules to help kids stay safe around electricity. – Never put fingers or objects in electrical outlets and make sure to childproof them. – Keep and use electrical appliances away from water. – Dry your hands thoroughly be-

Agreement reached in case to ensure justice for limited English-speaking folks LOS ANGELES – The Justice Department today announced an agreement with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (LASC) to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) court users will have access to timely and accurate language assistance services. The agreement resolves a Justice Department investigation of a complaint filed by the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles that alleged the LASC failed to provide LEP individuals with meaningful access to its court services, including civil proceedings and court operations. The complaint alleged a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its implementing regulations, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of national origin. “The Los Angeles County Superior Court has accepted the challenge of serving the needs of limited English proficient individuals in one of the most populous and linguistically diverse areas of the country,� said United States Attorney Eileen M. Decker. “Protecting the civil rights of all people within the Central District of California is one of my top priorities as United States Attorney, and today’s agreement serves that goal by giving greater access to the judicial system to individuals so that they may protect their own rights.�

How will a new president affect our real estate market moving forward? The current economy is in the midst of its slowest recovery in the past 50 years, judging by the minimal increase in real GDP and other modest growth metrics. Leaving many economists guessing what the longterm outlook for the U.S. economy might be. Inflation is at a check but what is almost certain to hit the RE industry would be higher borrowing interest rates. The economy seems to be doing fine after underlining that real GDP has increased by less than 15 percent from the start of the recovery in 2010, making this recovery the weakest in recent history. A major factor of this under par recovery is the single-family housing sector’s underproduction. While the sector has seen weakness before, in past cycles the housing market has bounced back to again become a driver of economic growth—but not this time. AS I have mentioned before a big piece of the market which is the “Move up

Buyers and Sellers” have not come into the mix. Millennials also don’t want to own homes. With a zero interest bank rate, it’s impossible to build the down payment necessary to buy a home. In the near future cheap debt will no longer be available at some point, credit card, student loans and Home Equity lines of credit is already gearing for a rate hike. You are already paying higher student loan rates and very outrageous credit card rates all the way to about close to 20%. The commercial side is faring a bit better, especially in the industrial sector, which saw a noticeable improvement in the first two quarters

Philippines versus Mexico match ups to ‘spark rumble’ By Abner Galino

DONNIE “Ahas” Nietes, the longest reigning Filipino world champion, faced up yesterday with former World Boxing Council (WBC) light flyweight champion Edgar Sosa of Mexico during a press conference in the City of Carson. No aggression was seen from either Nietes or Sosa, but nevertheless, both boxers promised that their next meeting on Saturday at the Stubhub Center is going to be a rumble. Nietes (38-1- 4, 22KOs) and Sosa (52-9- 0, 30KOs) will be fighting for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Inter-Continental flyweight championship. Nietes who will debut in the 122 lbs division gave up his WBO light flyweight belt because he is already having a hard time making the weight. The boxer said that he more relaxed and that he could more while training for a fight at the 112 lbs mark. But more than that, Nietes’ decision to fight in a higher division was his desire to be matched up with highly rated fighters. For his part, Sosa said he was mentally, emotionally and physically ready to face Nietes. Part of the Philipines versus Mexico rumble, Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo, a rising star in Philippine boxing, will be facing a last-minute

replacement in the name of Ramiro Robles. Magsayo, who knocked Chris Avalos in the sixth round as an undercard to the Nonito Donaire-Zsolt Bedak title fight in Cebu last April, will be defending his WBO International featherweight title. The Filipino boxer’s original opponent, Ruben Garcia, backed out supposedly due to an injury. Despite this, Magsayo said he is taking Robles (13-5- 1, 8KO) seriously. “Mahirap mag-kumpiyansa,” Magsayo said. Meanwhile, it is going to be a grudge match between Filipino boxer “King” Arthur Villanueva and Mexico’s Juan “El Penita” Jimenez. Villanueva and Jimenez fought in Cebu City last May. The boxers accidentally clashed heads in the fourth round. The referee apparently saw a punch hitting Jimenez before the accident and counted out the Mexican fighter. During an interview in Glendale, Edito Villamor, ALA Promotions matchmaker, insisted that Villanueva indeed managed to sneak a right cross into Jimenez head before the heads of the boxers clashed. “Tinamaan naman talaga ‘yung kalaban. Bago nagbangga ‘yung mga ulo nila. Kaya hindi na nakabangon ‘yung kalaban,” Villamor explained.

of 2016. Construction has reached a new high, rent values are above average and demand is good. This sector is getting close to new peaks in terms of value, with construction being at high levels, it seems. Election Year Challenges Adding to the uncertainty is the upcoming presidential election. Although this year’s vote won’t drag the economy into negative growth, the positive growth might diminish slightly to adjust to the electoral seat. Election cycles occurred during financial panics, wars, recessions, and also during economic booms. The Stock Trader’s Almanac reports the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained an average of about 6% in election years. This is just an average and certainly doesn’t predict what will happen in 2016. History has also shown it doesn’t matter much which party wins in November. Since 1900, the stock market has done slightly better under Democratic administrations than Republican. Even though Republican policies are generally thought to be more pro-business. It’s important to remember that the stock market is made up of businesses. Businesses have a great track record for adjusting to political and economic change. The policies of the next president will impact some businesses positively and others negatively. Those negatively impacted will adjust and adapt. It’s hard to predict which businesses will be the winners or losers today even if we knew who was going to win the election. That’s why portfolios need to be diversified. There won’t be many short-term effects on commercial real estate, except maybe in the office sector, where

some firms might want to delay signing new leases until the results of the vote are presented. The retail and multifamily sectors will probably be less affected, as people will continue to have jobs and an income, thereby maintaining their levels of demand in those areas. The demand is also supported by lower unemployment rates. Weekly unemployment insurance claims are below 300,000, close to an all-time low, which suggests good economic strength. Also, for people over 65, the employment rate has reached its highest level since World War II. The real issue is linked to the longterm effects of the 2016 presidential vote. Donald Trump’s involvement in the real estate business will trigger an overexposure of tax regulations’ impact on real estate in the next three months, predicted by some analyst. A Pro-Market President I believe n matter who wins, this presidential election will likely bring a change in the approach to the U.S. real estate market. Both candidates are believers in the markets, and I hope that they will ease up on redundant regulations and work on our nations deficit to put us back in the black. Despite its slow growth, the U.S. economy is steadily recovering. Thus, it is less likely to be heavily impacted by the political changes. “The U.S. economy is a supercarrier economy. We are growing, building, but not overbuilding,” an analyst concluded. Life will go on, thanks for the inquiries and comments.

HR groups urge Duterte to denounce Marcos’ crimes and push forward peace talks LOS ANGELES, CA - On September 21, Filipino American human rights advocates and American supporters rallied in front of the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles to mark the 44th anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law by former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and called on the Duterte administration to denounce the crimes of the Marcos’ dictatorship. Led by BAYAN USA and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) Southern California Network, the participants called for justice for victims of the Marcos dictatorship and condemn the continuing human rights violations in the Philippines. “Extrajudicial killings and arrests were an abominable hallmark of Marcos’ 21 year rule, which was propped up by the U.S. government,” Nikole Cababa, Deputy Secretary General of Bayan USA. “In order to set himself

apart from all previous puppet presidents, Duterte should immediately put a stop to all extrajudicial killings in the country and end the illegal arrests of activists under the Philippine military’s U.S.-directed counterinsurgency plan Oplan Bayanihan.” The groups strongly oppose the burial of Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’ Cemetery). “We resist the erasure of our people’s history. When we bury a convicted plunderer who was dishonorably dismissed by its own people and by its own military, what message does it send to the youth and to the people? It means that the most corrupt and despotic tyrants in our country can be hailed as heroes; that the burial of Marcos in the National Heroes’ Cemetery signals the burial of justice for the victims of Martial Law.” said Nap Pempeña, Vice Chairperson of the nationwide youth group Anakbayan-USA. The groups also pressed for the

Los Angeles celebration underway for Filipino American History Month LOS ANGELES, CA – October is Filipino American History Month, and thousands of Filipino Americans from the Los Angeles area are expected to take part in one of the city’s biggest events celebrating their culture and history. The Filipino American History Month Los Angeles (FAHMLA) Coalition will host a diverse array of intergenerational and trans-intercontinental talent at the newly renovated Greek Theater on Sunday, October 23rd presented by Frontier Communications. “We make up one of the fastest growing Asian American groups in the United States,” said Joel Jacinto, appointee of Mayor Eric Garcetti and the first Filipino American Commissioner for the City of L.A. Department of Public Works. “It’s important for the rest of L.A. to know who we are, and I think there is no better way to do that than through this exciting event for attendees of all ages.” Filipino music legend Gary V will headline the evening, and for the first time his son Gab Valenciano will join him onstage. Dance-pop artist Jocelyn Enriquez, R&B group Kai and others, who helped start the Filipino American music movement during the 1990s, will reunite after more than 15 years.

And for the millennial crowd, YouTube sensation AJ Rafael and The Voice Season 9 artist Tim Atlas are among those who are expected to perform. Actor Nico Santos from NBC’s new sitcom “Superstore” will help host the show, and culinary masterminds including Kristine de la Cruz and Lynne Tolentino will be onsite whipping up delicious Asian food for the attendees. “This is a family-friendly gathering intended to bring together all Filipino Americans,” said event cochair James Santa Maria, who helped establish the planning committee for this historic event. “Filipino Americans make up the largest Asian American group in California, and they have a rich history in our city. This is a perfect opportunity to showcase their talents and contributions.” Also in honor Filipino American History Month, the Department of Public Works and Councilman Mitch O’Farrell have led the effort to install 54 Filipino designed streetlights throughout Historic Filipinotown, home to the largest population of Filipinos outside of the Philippines. Local artist Roel Punzalan’s designs symbolizing Filipino culture and the ethnic diversity of Historic Filipinotown will transform the lighting fixtures along Temple Street next month.

Nap Pempeña of Anakbayan USA honors the martyrs and victims of Martial Law and calls on youth to continue the fight for a just and lasting peace in the Philippines.

Duterte administration to continue making progress in the peace talks between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP). “Duterte can make unprecedented and lasting changes that will benefit the Filipino people for generations to come if he continues to sincerely pursue peace negotiations with the NDFP,” said Joy Prim of the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines Southern California Network. “He must follow through on the GRP’s commitment during the recent Oslo peace talks to declare amnesty and release the 525 political prisoners that remain unjustly detained in prisons across the country. While we support Duterte in the process of the peace talks, we continue to be alarmed by the human rights situation in the

country, the killings, and the further arrests of political prisoners without any cause.” Since August, five peasant leaders have been assassinated and more activists have been arrested despite the existence of unilateral ceasefires in the country’s 47 year civil war. Cababa added, “For the peace talks to succeed, Duterte must follow through on his recent statements asserting an independent foreign policy not dominated by U.S. interests. His words must be proven in action by terminating all unequal military and economic agreements with the United States, such as the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). Only then will the Philippines be free to enact social and economic reforms that can create liveable jobs for Filipinos through land reform and building national industries.”

Mitsubishi 2017 Mirage G4 features superior fuel economy New York – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today unveiled the all-new 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. A sibling to the well-established and popular Mirage hatchback, the all-new Mirage G4 brings consumers a fresh dose of clean style, environmental consciousness, agility, connectivity, affordability and value. The Mirage G4 goes on sale this spring at Mitsubishi showrooms across the country. “A few years ago we entered the subcompact segment with the Mirage hatchback and its popularity with consumers has grown every year with its combination of top fuel economy, attractive pricing and one of the industry’s best new car warranties. The new Mirage G4 repeats that value equation in a four-door sedan package,” said MMNA executive vice president, Don Swearingen. “The Mirage hatchback and now the Mirage G4 sedan will form a formidable one-two punch in the subcompact segment.” The Mirage G4 will utilize the same powertrain of the 2017 hatchback, a revised 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine.

T h e small displacem e n t engine provides a harmonious blend of lively acceleration and efficiency. The Mirage G4 will be at the top of its class in combined fuel efficiency and C02 emissions. Inside, the Mirage G4’s long wheelbase provides for a spacious interior cabin and trunk. Adding an element of surprise and delight to the subcompact segment, the Mirage G4 will come equipped with available smartphone integrations, features typically reserved for higher priced vehicles. Support for Apple CarPlay™, the smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car, lets drivers make calls, get directions optimized for traffic conditions, listen to music, and access messages. An-

droid Auto™ extends the Android™ platform into the car in a way that’s purpose-built for driving. Staying true to its value-driven roots, the Mirage G4 is supported by Mitsubishi’s phenomenal warranties: fully transferable 5-year/60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty; 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty; 7-year/100,000 mile anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty and a 5-year/unlimited mile roadside assistance.

Subaru puts safety first: New TV spots reinforce brand’s commitment to keeping drivers and their families safe on the road Cherry Hill, N.J. - Subaru of America, named 2016 Most Trusted Brand by Kelley Blue Book, has launched two new television spots that explore both the brand’s commitment to safety and the continued trust in Subaru vehicles from parents everywhere. The new spots, “Take The Subaru” and “I’m Sorry,” reinforce the automaker’s ongoing promise to help keep current and future Subaru drivers out of harm’s way. The national television spots, created by Carmichael Lynch on behalf of Subaru of America, will begin airing in :30s and :60s formats on August 29, 2016, running through September, and will also be featured through targeted digital and social media promotions. In addition to the two new spots, a new safety page that details Subaru’s outstanding safety record will also debut on the Subaru of America website,www.subaru.com/safety. “Take The Subaru” features a playful spin on every parent’s worry that their children will never stop finding new and unbelievable ways to hurt themselves. This charming

commercial showcases several kids preparing to engage in all kinds of risky behavior — only to have their parents step in and intervene. Fortunately, once the kids are old enough to drive, the family Subaru will be there to help protect them and their parents can trust they will be safe. The “I’m Sorry” spot explores the raw emotion of the moment that every parent of a teenage driver dreads — the call that there has been an accident. While the teenagers seem most concerned that they “wrecked the Subaru,” this spot demonstrates that parents are far less concerned about their car and far more concerned about the safety and well-being of their kids. With its strong reputation for safety, moments like these

list high among the reasons many parents choose a Subaru in the first place. “We are proud that Subaru continues to be the trusted vehicle of choice for so many families who recognize the importance of safety for our young drivers,” said Alan Bethke, senior vice president of marketing Subaru of America. “With these new spots, we are happy to reinforce the brand’s commitment to building and honoring this trust and keeping 2017 Subaru Legacy aru’s safety features, please visit our drivers safe on the road.” The spots are available to view on Subaru.com/safety.
