P10.00

P12/kWh power rate hike feared PARTY-list Rep. Teddy Casiño yesterday accused the Department of Energy (DOE) of allegdly “blackmailing” the people of Mindanao into accepting artificially high power rates in order to solve the power crisis.

Casiño said DOE circular DC 2012–03-0004 will force consumers to pay an additional 50 to 80 centavos per kWh for their electricity cost as it obliged electric cooperatives to getting its power supply from artificially expensive power barges like those owned by Therma Marine, Inc. “That is P50-P80 for those who consume 100 kWh per month, P100-P160 for those who consume 200 kWh and so forth. This is on top of the approved increase by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) for Napocor generation rates.

People should be able to allot more money for their food and education instead of greedy power providers,” said Casiño.

“Also if rate adjustments will be made, consumers in Mindanao will still have to pay P3.50 as power cost on top of the two power rate hikes. Some sectors in the island are also raising the possibility that rate adjustments could go as high as P12 per kWh,” he added.

“While we acknowledge the supply shortage, what is clear is that the problem was caused by government’s POWER/PAGE 7

Filipino gas depot owner abducted

By AL JACINTO ZAMBOANGA City––Authorities have mounted an operation to rescue a gasoline depot owner abducted by suspected Abu Sayyaf militants in the restive southern region.

Officials said seven gunmen barged late Saturday in the house of Engineer Carlos Tee, who also works at the Air Transportation Office in Jolo town, and seized him.

“We suspect the Abu Sayyaf as behind the abduction and operation is going on to recover him safely,” said Lt. Col. Randolph Cabangbang, a regional army spokesman.

No individual or group claimed responsibility for the latest abduction, but the Abu Sayyaf has been largely blamed for numerous kidnappings for ransom in the town and other areas in the southern Philippines.

Cabangbang said the gunmen dragged Tee to a OWNER/PAGE 7

Fact-finding mission to probe lumad evacuation

By PAT SAMONTE BUTUAN City––Two militant groups are spearheading a fact-finding mission to investigate the situation in the Mamanwa and peasant communities in Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte affected by forced evacuation since February 10, 2012 due to military operations.

In a joint press statement, Dr. Naty Castro and Genasque Enriquez, secretaries-general of KarapatanCaraga and Kasalo-Caraga, respectively, said the investigation is set on April 12-15, 2012 and will focus on visiting the evacuation sites, engaging with the evacuees, visiting their communities and assisting in their safe return to their

homes. The fact-finding mission will also seek to engage with government officials involved in the issue, they said.

According to Castro and Enriquez, around 1,000 people or over 243 families from the mountains of Palidan in Barangay Mahaba and Sitio Losong, Barangay Puting Bato in Cabadbaran City, Manhumapay in Zapanta

“The evacuees all want to go back to their homes but continued military pres-

ence and military operations are preventing them from doing so,” Castro and Enriquez said as they cited the statement of Maj. Eugene Osias, spokesperson of the Philippine Army’s 4th Infantry Division, that “military operations are going to continue at its present conduct.”

They said the evacuees “are also pressured by the

military, Agusan del Norte LGU, NCIP, even by CHR Regional Director herself, to return to their communities despite the military pronouncements.”

Those helping the evacuees like humanitarian groups and progressive people’s organizations were “vilified and accused of inciting the communities to evacuate PROBE/PAGE 7

Leyte-Mindanao integrated grid to resolve power shortage in M’danao T H E G OV E R N M E N T would conduct the LeyteMindanao interconnection project study that would establish an integrated grid and allow reserve electricity generation capacity to be shared by the three regional grids --Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The study, which is estimated to cost P90 million,

would be undertaken by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) for a period of one year and another year for assessment.

Energy Undersecretary Josephine Patricia Asirit said for the first time, the Aquino administration would implement the Luzon-VisayasMindanao interconnection grid to assure power stability

in the country.

At present, Asirit said only the Luzon and Visayas -- through the Leyte grid-have interconnectivity. It would only be in this administration that the entire Philippine grid would be interconnected.

With the Leyte-Mindanao interconnection in place, Asirit said, the Luzon grid

which has 200 MW excess and the Visayas which can also export another 200 MW, power shortage in Mindanao can easily be resolved.

The Leyte-Mindanao interconnection project was aimed at addressing the power shortage not only in Mindanao but the entire country as well.

It includes the installa-

tion of about 455-kilometer overhead line and 23-km submarine cable with a maximum depth of around 1,000 meters below sea level.

The interconnection project was originally designed for 250-kilovolt high-voltage density cable bipolar link with a total transfer capacity of 500 MW to 800 MW. It will start from the ex-

isting Ormoc Converter Station in Leyte and terminates at Kirahon Converter station in Northcentral Mindanao via Southern Leyte and Northeastern Mindanao.

The Leyte-Mindanao interconnection is part of the long-term solution to resolve power shortage in the region. WITH WIRE REPORT

Republic of the Philippines SUPREME COURT 4th SHARI’A CIRCUIT COURT 4th Shari’a Judicial District Iligan City

BUTUAN City––The National Democratic Front (NDF) said the so-called power crisis in Mindanao is nothing but a creation of business tycoon Henry Sy through the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

In a press statement dated April 4, 2012, NDFMindanao spokesperson Jorge Madlos alias Ka Oris

said Sy’s primary objective was to monopolize the power industry which he said had long been “fully guaranteed” as far back as the Ramos administration. “ There is no doubt NGCP will have the power and control over independent power producers like the Aboitiz and AlcantaraDominguez groups,” he said.

Madlos said the plan would not only result in Henry Sy’s monopoly of

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH PEOPLE of Cagayan de Oro rejoiced the resurrection of Christ. The resurrection of Christ gives us Hope, Arcbishop Antonio Ledesma, of Cagayan de Oro City, said in a radio message in observance of the Holy Week.

Lindy finds hope in Pantawid aid program

By STELLA MARIS BARCELON and PAT SAMONTE

BISLIG City––She walked past the side counter and put back the documents inside the envelope to make sure all things were intact. Then, she carefully counted the money the teller handed her.

Lindy M. Amoguis, 36, a mother to two children––Andressa, 12, and Mae Ann Rose, 11––was one of the 4,317 Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries. She was expecting her third child anytime.

Before the government’s Pantawid Pamilya program came here, Lindy was worried about the future of her children.

Her husband, Danilo, earns P3,000 a month as a farmer.

When Bislig City officials announced the prospective beneficiaries of the program, Lindy saw a glimmer of hope.

She was overjoyed as she saw her name while scanning the list of beneficiaries in Barangay San Roque.

In one of the community assemblies she attended, Lindy intently listened to the Municipal Link officer who presented the conditions of the program a component of which included a P500 cash grant for health.

“Reading the conditions, I thought these were exactly

what I wanted for my children. With the cash grant, my baby would be assured of regular vaccination and check-up and I could buy milk and vitamins for my children,” Lindy said.

Lindy confided that prior to the Pantawid Pamilya program, she was a regular visitor of the health center for her pre-natal check-up.

“The money I have saved for my delivery has been almost depleted. I have to buy food and pay for the chilldren’s school dues. The cash grant is very timely,” she said with a smile as she put her money inside her purse.

Lindy had just received her first cash grant of P2,200.

Typhoon Sendong left a scar to all of us–– victims and non-victims. The Arcbishop, however, reminded the Catholic faithful of not losing hope in the face of adversity in life.

Ledesma cited the Resurrection of Christ as a symbol of Hope. The Archbishop implored the Cagayanons to Unite and work together to attain Peace. He expressed his desire for the Cagayanons to work together to help victims of Sendong live normal lives.

What could have been a week of joy and bliss with Christ conquest of death, turned into a nightmare when ‘Christ’s Seven Last Words’ were used to attack personalities in local politics? The Cagayanons who heard the mass on Good Friday were shocked. Like most of those who listened over the radio’s live coverage of the ‘Christ Seven Last Words’, churchgoers went home with heavy hearts.

Cagayanons were disheartened of skeptics who defiled the sacredness of the Good Friday mass. The skeptics had succeeded in destroying the spirit of Ledesma’s message of Hope and Unity.

Churchgoers as well as radio listeners believed that there are people out to destroy the Church and its faithful.

However, the derisive acts of people who make a mockery of the Good Friday mass only exposed their true intentions and worth.

(Sgd.) HON. OSOP M. ALI Presiding Judge

The Archdiocese believed that there are few people trying to influence the local Roman Catholic Church into their political machinations.

This few groups would never stop in sowing disunity among local residents to pursue their political ends. However, this irreverent group should have the propriety to spare the Roman Catholic Church as well as innocent priests from their selfish motives. Cagayanons should unite to be on guard against these people. Happy Easter!

If we choose heaven, then all we need to do is ask Jesus for His gift of forgiveness for living our own way.

Then, ask Him to take charge of our new life so we can start living His right way every day for the rest of our life in this location, as well as forever with Him in our permanent location.

So if your life ended today, do you know where you would relocate?

Just Think a Minute.

What happened to Christ’s last word?

ST. AUGUSTINE CATHEDRAL, the center of Roman Catholicism in Cagayan de Oro City, was teeming with devotees on Good Friday. Hungry devotees expected the messages of ‘Christ’s Seven Last Words’ to inspire those whose faith has waned with the changes of times.

Alas! The faithful were dismayed with speakers delivering out of context messages. There were speakers who Cris Diaz tried hard to relate their subjects to things unrelated to Christian faith. There were speakers who used the occasion to attack personalities. Has the Roman Catholic Church lost grasp of its flock?

People who heard the Good Friday mass in St. Augustine Cathedral left wondering. People started to ask questions. What happened to the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro City? Has somebody planned the solemn occasion to discredit the Archdiocese?

In his Holy Week message aired over radios, the Reverend Archbishop Antonio Ledesma of the Archdiocese of Misamis Oriental, preached the spirit of Unity and Hope as values that would strengthen Christian faith.

Values that would ensure peace of mind that would heal

the wounds of animosity among the people of Cagayan de Oro. Contrary to Archbishop Ledesma’s homily, some speakers of the ‘Seven Last Words of Christ’ on Good Friday insulted the Catholic faith.

Normally, the parish priest selects speakers of the ‘Seven Last Words of Christ.’ Although speakers voluntarily offer their services, many believed that the parish priest makes the final decision. Usually, speakers are chosen from among those who may have had contributed so much for the parish. Whatever contribution, it is self-explanatory.

The event during the mass at St. Augustine Cathedral on Good Friday showed the encroachment of the faith

by Christians pretending to be Catholics. It has left a gaping wound in the hearts and minds of the faithful who considered the Catholic Church as their source of inspiration.

Perhaps, Archbishop Ledesma should look into that incident. He must find out why that incident took place and the people responsible for that rudeness disguised in the name of Christ’s words. Catholics in Cagayan de Oro City were not only offended. They were upset not with the Archdiocese. However, their faith were abused when the incident were used to attack the dignity of persons and individuals. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

‘Life is but an empty dream’ ONE of my favorite poems comes from the quintessential writer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18071882), entitled Psalms of Life. The profound message it exudes has certainly brought realization to me that even the first few lines capture the general essence of living; “Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream For the soul is dead that slumbers And things are not what they seem.”

Ref lecting on these words, It clearly points out the importance of purposeful action towards our dream otherwise life is useless. The uncertainties in life demand every soul to struggle and persevere in order to make it worthwhile. Often, we do act upon our goals but never reached the attainment of such because it is so hard

Rubrics Of Life Erwin L. Pepino for us to be consistent with our attitude.

I believe that as we grow we change. These changes can be glaringly overwhelming or somehow negligible with regard to attitude. I have seen many who were once painfully shy and now coming out loud and loquacious.

There are some who like me, have made strong commitment to change for the better yet fall to the trap of complacency and drifted.

I am fond of writing down my promise for attitudinal change like waking up early, focusing on important things, finishing projects

on time, not being late for an appointment, and more.

I even motivated myself to improve my physique by buying books about diet and exercise. I keep on starting my goals with high spirits and end up… munching chips while checking on my facebook account or just winding around.

This mortal characteristic of delaying important actions in exchange for petty pleasures and inaction is referred in the poem as “the soul that slumbers”.

Hence, we should avoid the path of putting off what requires immediate action or procrastination. The

question then is how? How can we stay on track without succumbing to this unlikely habit?

It is a universal fact that if we keep on repeating our actions it becomes our habit which eventually would be the foundation of our character. This statement will somehow answer the question above by simply repeating in our minds our goal and acting on it with strong determination until it becomes a natural ritual engrained in our minds.

For instance, if we would like to be physically fit we have to write in our daily reminder’s note the specific time for exercise. We then have to take courage to pull ourselves up to do it without respite and never give up.

Though it’s easier said than done, we need to discipline ourselves to untiringly repeat the process over and over again until DREAM/PAGE 7

Camiguin health units get 3M each for infra

By JORIE C. VALCORZA MAMBAJAO, Camiguin - All rural health units (RHUs) in the island-province receive P3 million infrastructure assistance from the Department of Health (DOH) to facilitate the construction of lying-in facilities.

With the presence of medical personnel and trained staff, RHUs birthing facilities are capable of providing all the needed maternal services.

“Pregnant mothers can now easily seek help in the government lying-in clinics,” Dr. Gretchen L. Cabalang, Camiguin Provincial Health Officer said.

The DOH prioritizes the upgrading of the RHUs to help reduce the maternal mortality and morbidity rates following the Millennium Development Goals.

Cabalang explained that RHU services are more of preventive when compared to hospitals.

Also included in the facility upgrade is the construction of an infectious diseases service area/room. (PIA Regions 10 and 13 Cluster)

Circular results in improved power situation in Mindanao The Department of Energy (DOE) stresses that not all areas in Mindanao have power outages, such as Cotabato, Panabo, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, and Davao.

With the issuance of the Circular, areas not experiencing interruptions now include Malaybalay, Dipolog, Dapitan, Valencia, Camiguin, Panabo, Digos, Tagum, Mati, Cotabato, Surigao, Butuan, and Cabadbaran.

This is a result of the issuance of a stop-gap measure last month, DC 2012–03-0004, which directs electric cooperatives to nominate their needed

power to supply their demands.

This now results in less power outage for provinces in Mindanao and current power supply deficit of 100-160 MW from 3 6 0 M W du ring the previous months. However, the DOE continues to monitor its implementation to ensure strict compliance to the Circular among stakeholders.

Alongside this measure, the DOE is also evaluating other solutions such as the operation of the Iligan

Diesel Power Plant (IDPP), which will be able to produce an initial power of 15-20 MW and may increase upon rehabilitation, and the improvements of the Agus and Pulangui hydropower plants.

Agus Plant, meanwhile, will be rehabilitated in June.

Power situation in Mindanao is also expected to improve as electric cooperatives get provisional authorities for the bilateral power service by the Energy Regulatory Commission.

To date, electric cooperatives have already contracted an aggregate total of 192 MW of which around 20 MW is still subject for ERC’s issuance of provisional authority. (PIA Regions 10 and 13 Cluster)

Pacquiao to pitch camp in Baguio before fighting Bradley

By EDDIE G. ALINEA WORLD Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has extended his stay in General Santos City for one more week prior to pitching camp in Baguio City Sunday for his fight with junior welterweight belt-owner Timothy Bradley.

Chief trainer Freddie Roach has clarified the 33-year-old eight-division titleholder will not be inactive though in the interim.

He promised to continue doing the roadwork he started in Sta. Rosa, Laguna two weeks ago and continued in General Santos during the Holy Week.

“We talked on the phone last Saturday and he told me he will definitely be in Baguio on Sunday (April 15) to start serious training the following day,” Roach told PNA in a telephone interview.

“He told me he’s been running daily for the past two weeks in his efforts to remove excess baggage in his body and he will continue doing so in General Santos this week,” said Roach, now at the Pines City supervising the build up program of another ward – Englishman Amir Khan.

“I told him to just go on doing what he will be comfortable with. It’s still early anyway and we have plenty of time to prepare.

The schedule is to start really on April 16 so we’re on time,” the 52-year-old Hall of Famer said.

“But when we start, I also told him it will be hard work

… hard work … and hard work,” he stressed.

“We’ve learned our lesson in our last fight and we will not be that too complacent this time around.”

Roach was referring to the Filipino icon’s unimpressive majority decision victory over Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez in Chapter III of their trilogy held last May in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao is putting his 140-pound title on the block against American undefeated junior-welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley on June 9 at the MGM Grand in the gambling city of Las Vegas.

Roach, Khan, the former World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation junior-welterweight kingpin, motored to the country’s summer capital last Sunday.

Besides enjoying the rare opportunity of spending longer time with his family – wife Jinkee and children Jimwell, Michael, Princess and Queenie -- Pacquiao also keeps himself busy preaching and attending prayer meetings: a new calling tasked him by the church hierarchy as Bible ambassador.

Roach, in a separate interview Maundy Thursday, was wary about Bradley’s toughness, cleverness and his penchant for using his elbows and heads, adding they will be preparing for that.

“Yes, we’ll be ready for him. For whatever he’s capable of doing and that’s what we’ll be concentrating on,” he vowed.

Lin doubts return for first round AFTER undergoing knee surgery, New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin is feeling better now but doesn’t think he could make it back for the first round of the playoffs.

Lin said: “I think unless something goes really well, I wouldn’t get there.”

Lin had surgery Monday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee. The Knicks have said the expected recovery time is about six weeks.

The playoffs begin April 28.

The Knicks, also playing without the injured Amare Stoudemire, went into Sunday’s game holding the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference.

Lin won’t rule out a return if the Knicks can advance in the postseason.

“It depends on how far and how long it goes,” Lin said.

He added: “But obviously I want to get to 100 percent and then come back, hopefully see what I can do.

By then it’ll be a different team identity, chemistry, so it gets tricky, too. Yeah, I’m doing everything, we’re doing everything we can to get back as soon as possible.”

The point guard said he is working out on a bike and hopes to start running late next week.

seem to end the day without doing it.

The key point in this process is to condition our mind to want the goal badly enough. We have to feed our minds with the desirable outcome of this repetitious activity like putting vivid pictures of well shaped bodies in our bedroom or the gym where we exercise and workout or keep ourselves informed of the benefits and posting it in our walls.

Moreover, we should also consider the power of our thoughts. Our mind is amazingly powerful and I can truly attest to that as I have experienced it firsthand.

To stay focused and avoid procrastinating, I have practiced simple steps which actually have been published in many reading materials from different authors.

I thought of this before as farcical and do not merit serious attention until I started doing it out of curiosity and before I knew it, I got what I wanted.

It might be a coincidence as I also worked hard to get it but one thing I realized was that I became consistent with what I was doing and never had time to procrastinate because of this simple ritual.

First is to think of what you really want and have an unshakable belief that you can have it. Second, condition your mind that you really deserve it and it is happening. Third, close your eyes and in stillness simulate the feeling of actually having it, cherish the though and the experience for at least five minutes.

Last, open your eyes and retain the vibrant feeling and go into your day releasing it through your actions.

Repeat this every day until you have manifested your desire.

These are just few of the many ways of pouring more meaning to our bowl of dreams to the brim and if … “Life is but an empty dream” then by all means don’t delay, go ahead and fill it up!

Peace profound!

Another faction of the Abu Sayyaf is holding Warren Rodwell, 57, an Australian adventurer kidnapped in December 2011 from his seaside house in Zamboanga Sibugay’s Ipil town.

Police said an Indian national, Biju Kolara Veetil, 36, who was kidnapped in June last year on the southern province of Sulu, was killed by the Abu Sayyaf for a still unknown reason despite ransoms paid by his Filipina wife, Elena Asanji.

Veetil and his wife were visiting the woman’s family in the village of Tempok in Patikul town when four gunmen seized the foreigner.

A Malaysian gecko trader - Mohammad Nasaruddin Bensaidin – who was also kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf in April 2011, had been released after a local negotiator paid ransom to the gang. The 38-year old Malaysian arrived in Sulu in April last year from Kuala Lumpur and had been living in a house in the village of Kajatian in Indanan town when he was kidnapped.
