MINDANAO ON THE VERGE OF DARKNESS

Solon sees ‘conspiracy’ to jack up power rates “IS there a ‘Triple A’ conspiracy to jack up power rates in Mindanao?” Party-list Rep. Teddy Casiño asked as he hinted that President Benigno Aquino III and Department of Energy Secretary Jose Almendras are conspiring with favored friends in the private power sector to jack up prices in Mindanao. “Matagal ko nang iniisiip kung bakit pilit nang pilit si Noynoy at Almendras na coal at diesel plants pa din ang gamitin sa Mindanao na magpapataas ng singil sa kuryente samantalang may mga alternatibo naman at ibang solusyon sa krisis. Dahil ba malaki ang magiging pakinabang dito ng mga Aboitiz na matagal nang malapit sa mga Aquino at dating boss ni Almendras? It looks like a Triple A conspiracy to me,” said Casiño. The Aboitzes own Ther-

ma Marine Inc. whose two power barges are largely blamed for the power outages in Mindanao in 2010, when they entered into a contract with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), making prices unaffordable to Mindanao’s power distributors. In the midst of the power outages now hitting Mindanao, Aboitiz Power Corporation wants to construct a 300-megawatt coal-fired power facility in Davao. The family of the cur-

rent president, chief executive officer and director of Aboitiz Power Corp. Erramon Aboitiz is a known Aquino ally and former employer of Almendras, said Casiño in a press statement. He said that former President Corazon Aquino appointed Erramon’s father, Ernesto as president of the National Power Corporation (NPC) in November 1987, The elder Aboitiz served as President of Davao Light and Power Company from 1970 to 1987, he was vice CONSPIRACY/PAGE 7

DAR secretary introduces new plan to secure CLOAs By RASHID M. DATU ILIGAN City––Speaking before Municipal Agrarian Reform Offi cers (MAROs) from Iligan City and Lanao del Norte during a consultation held at Celadon on April 12, DAR Secretary Virgilio delos Reyes exhorted MAROs to implement a new way of doing things to convert claim folders into CLOAs and speed up the attainment of the CARP. “Our job is to finish a program that we started in 1986 which is to stabilize the land ownership of farmers over public land. Before, the MAROs used to do the land acquisition process by themselves. Now they cannot work on their own in their respective municipalities but will have to look at all the Republic of the Philippines Department of Transportation and Communications LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING AND REGULATORY BOARD Region X, Cagayan de Oro City SINTOS, LOEL B.

tion has expressed concern over the problem that despite the surveys, the claim folders are not cleaned. There are titles that are lost, sometimes the land owner cannot be located, and in some cases, there is a title but the land is missing, while in other cases there is a record of cadastral survey on paper but did not actually happen, Secretary delos Reyes noted. “The old style was everything was done by the MARO office. We cannot do that now. The central office and the regional office will now come down to you and look at your problem,” Sec.

de los Reyes stressed. He was accompanied by DAR Region 10 Regional Director Felix Aguhob. For Lanao del Norte, there is still a balance of about 12,000 hectares containing 1,500 claim folders that need to be converted into CLOAs and there are 23 MAROs working in the province. The same problem exists for the other provinces like Negros, Bukidnon, North Cotabato, Leyte and Isabela. The DAR expects a rise in CLOA accomplishments from 2012 to 2013 with the implementation of its transition plan in the twenty provinces.

Not long after, terraces were carved out of the mountain slope, and thousands of pine tree seedlings were planted. As the pine trees grew it created canopies, allowing other trees and plants to grow and creating a secondary forest.

Classroom of life THINK a minute. Remember when you were in school? You know who’s best at doing tests, but you don’t know who will succeed at the tests of life. By the time we’ve finished 10-12 years of school, we’ve learned some accounting with debits and credits, but we’ve still not learned how to truly forgive our debtors and people who have wronged and hurt us. We know what direction Japan is, but we’re not sure which way we should go in life. In school, we learn how to do everything except how to live! It’s after we finish school that we must start learning how to live in the classroom of real life. So who is the right teacher for us? Who

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst can best teach us how to live well? Isn’t it logical that whoever invented life is the One Who knows how life best works? This is on of the reasons Jesus Christ became a human being—as the Teacher of real living. He explains and shows us the way God designed life to be lived. That’s why Jesus is the only person in history who could ever come back to life after dying and

being buried for 3 days. He’s still teaching today! So we would be smart to listen and do everything He tells us are the principles for living a successful and satisfying life. If you put your life in Jesus’ hands, He will work everything together for good in your life. Jesus will show you what to do about your boss who is unfair to you. He’ll teach you how to

pay back your debts and manage your money problems. Jesus will show you what you can do so your child won’t feel so angry and rebel against you. He’ll show you how to change and improve your marriage relationship. And Jesus will help you do your best in school. Jesus can even use your mistakes to teach you lessons on how to live well and right. But you must first join His class. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for living your wrong way, and ask Him to become your life’s teacher in charge of your life. Then, He can start showing you how your life was made to really work the way you want it to. Just Think a Minute.

Corruption in the power industry IN PAST ISSUES, this corner had discussed, in part, reasons why there is no power shortage in Mindanao. That in an island so naturally endowed with sources of alternative power, the supply of an electric power should not be an issue. Privatization of government assets is one of the culprits of possible power shortage in Mindanao. The government’s policy on privatization Cris Diaz is one of the safest approaches where corruption is disguised in the spirit of transparency. Transactions in privatization involve billions of pesos. The sale of the Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) was the ‘biggest (in terms of amount involved) and the most transparent privatization deal.’ However, there are more than meets the eyes of the PNOC privatization deal. (PNOC ANNUAL REPORT, P. 22. HTTP://WWW.PNOC.COM.PH) By the way, Presidential Decree 334 created the PNOC on Nov. 9, 1973 with a mandate to maintain and ensure that domestic oil and fuel supply are adequate. In other words, PNOC was a creation of former President Ferdinand Marcos to arrest the scarcity of fuel at the height of oil crisis in the 70s. PNOC was, therefore, a government owned and controlled corporation. Three years after, PNOC formed the Energy Development Corporation in 1977 as its subsidiary. It was meant to understand that the EDC was PNOC’s operating arm. The EDC’s objective was to ‘explore, develop, produce, generate and market indigenous energy sources and lessen the country’s dependence on imported fuel.’ (HTTP://WWW.ENERGY.COM. PH) .The EDC is a private corporation controlled by

Lopezes. It is engaged in power and geothermal energy development. In 1993, the Lopez group consolidated its interest in power generation and power distribution businesses that led to the creation of the First Philippine Holdings Corporation. The FPHC formed the First Gen in 1998. First Gen then formed another subsidiary, the Red Vulcan Holdings Corp. RVHC subsequently bought PNOC in the tune of P58.5 Billion in 2007. PNOC was later named Energy Development Corporation. (HTTP://WWW.FIRSTGEN.COM.PH) Based on this information, it is clear that the Lopez group is now in total control of energy and power development in the country. The transaction also disclosed that EDC, a subsidiary of PNOC, bought PNOC too through another subsidiary – the Red Vulcan Holdings Corp. Who benefited in the PNOC privatization but people in power? It was true that the privatization of PNOC was one of the most transparent billion-peso transactions of the government because only one company bid. Yes, the government made money in that transaction. However, who were gainers and losers? The Lopez group gained in the sale of PNOC. The people, particularly, the people in Mindanao were the losers. The logic is that the government created an agency (PNOC) to make sure that the Filipinos will enjoy adequate power supply. However, selfish interest of those who run the government and unscrupulous business group connived to defeat this mandate. It behooves into our minds that corruption in the power industry is entrenched since its major players have lobby money more than enough to bribe legislators and those who rein the government.

Filipino hospitability is exclusive to foreigners THE foreign cast and crew of the soon-to-be-released Hollywood film, The Bourne Legacy, are all agog over the sights and service in the Philippines. Dow Griffiths, location manager for the film, was all praises for the good service in their hotel and elsewhere while they were filming. While the local press is basking in the light of Griffiths’ praise, I am fuming at the fact that the rest of us do not get the preferential treatment because of the color of our skin. Let’s admit it. We see a Caucasian and we’re all, “Sir!”, “Ma’am!” complete with a curtsy. We follow them with our gaze and are

So the public may know Atty. Sara Jane A. Suguitan all smiles if they notice us and start talking. We’d give them the moon and the stars on a silver platter mined from our mountains and down on bended knees, too, if they ask, but we don’t do that for our fellow Filipinos. I’m going to start with the airport. Whenever I have to depart from the horrible NAIA 1, I notice immigrations officials spend

a lot more time and effort frowning and questioning departing Filipinos than they do to the foreigners. They ask out-of-bounds questions like “Why are you going to Cambodia?” as if they’re immigration officials OF the country you’re going to. I would have asked them sarcastically, “Are you acting like border control for a foreign

country? If you are, then I should inform you that they haven’t moved their borders to Manila yet, so watch your questions.” Last time I checked, their job was to check the papers with a glance and stamp passports unless their suspicion is aroused. Unfortunately, they are always suspicious of their fellow Filipinos who go abroad for vacation or for work WITHOUT basis. They see the boarding pass, right? What do they care why we’re leaving? On the other hand, when a foreigner is departing, they bow their heads and stamp the passport without question. They even return the EXCLUSIVE/PAGE 7

Authorities nab illegal OSCA ID distributors BUTUAN City – Local authorities have discovered a new kind of syndicate using, as front, the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA). Director Abner Caga of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Regions 10 and 13 Cluster said, certain individuals have already been caught in Barangay Bading, while illegally distributing senior citizens identification cards (IDs), in exchange of cash ‘donations’. Calling on the general public to report to the nearest police office any incident of sort, Director Caga believes “as the suspects may have accomplices still operating in other areas.” In accordance with Republic Act No. 9994 (Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010), official IDs

are issued by OSCA to every bonafide member “of the place where the senior citizen resides : Provided, That the identification card issued by the particular OSCA shall be honored

nationwide”. The ID is used in the availment of privileges, like discounts and exemptions on medicines; professional fees of private physicians; medical and

dental services; diagnostic and laboratory fees; land, air and sea transportation fares; hotel services, leisure and amusement fees, funeral and burial services, among others.

Pacquiao shows old form on first day of training in Baguio City By EDDIE G. ALINEA BAGUIO City––Six rounds of punching the mitts with chief trainer Freddie Roach and a 15-minute roadwork at the scenic Burnham Park opened Manny Pacquiao’s fine-tuning regimen on Wednesday here. The World Boxing Or-

ganization (WBO) welterweight champion was still far from being in full competitive shape but he nevertheless showed his old form despite staying away from boxing for five months following his last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in November last year.

The power in both fists and speed in his footwork were still present that Roach himself could not help express amazement in what he saw for a long time. “Now I believe in what I’ve been hearing that Manny, indeed, has been working out in the province the past several weeks,” said Roach, who on Tuesday admitted he had no inkling on what the

camp would go until such time he meets Pacquiao in person. “I don’t know how hard the preparations would be because I haven’t seen Manny since I arrive in the country some two weeks ago,” Roach confided to this writer Tuesday, the day Pacquiao and his team was scheduled to show up at the Shape Up Gym inside the

Cooyeesan Hotel, the official camp while training at this City of Pines. “As I have been saying, we’ll have to work... Work and work hard as soon as we open shop. Now I would say that it wouldn’t be as hard as I imagine we would go,” he said. “The early start (in Manila and later in General Santos City) really makes it

easy for us here in Baguio,” the Hall of Fame trainer said. Another good news is the 52-year-old Roach expects none of the distractions that marked Pacquiao’s preparations before as the Filipino ring icon has undergone a self-imposed change in his lifestyle. Not even the champ’s new bible-preaching advocacy. TRAINING/PAGE 7

vice chairman of Aboitiz Power Corp. and served as its Director from 1998 until his death in 2010. During the term of the late President Aquino, blackouts became sporadic and the Aboitizes were suspected of benefitting from the outages as they owned a firm supplying power generators. Erramon Aboitiz was among the select 34 businessmen who accompanied President Aquino in his seven-day visit to the United States in September 2010. A week before, Aquino switched to full capacity and operation the 42.5MW hydropower plant owned by Aboitiz Power Corp. in Sibulan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. Prior to his appointment, Almendras served as Treasurer for both Aboitiz & Company and the publicly listed Aboitiz Equity Ventures. He was appointed President and CEO of City Savings Bank, also owned by the Aboitiz Group. “We are looking into reports that the Mindanao power crisis is being used to maximize the profits of big power providers especially the Aboitiz group with the government as an accomplice, as evidenced by DOE circular DC 2012–03-0004. We fear that this may be another case of favouring his kaibigan, kaklase at kabarilan (KKK) at the expense of Mindanao,” said Casiño. The Aquino government’s push for higher power rates in Mindanao comes at the heels of the latest Pulse Asia survey which found that seven in every 10 adult Filipinos considered controlling escalating prices the most urgent national issue for which the Aquino administration received its lowest public approval rating. The proposed power rate increase is staunchly opposed by a broad base of stakeholders in the island.

to the foreigner with a smile. Sheesh! They should guard the security of the country against arriving aliens, not against departing and arriving Filipinos. In other countries, nationals get special treatment upon departure and arrival. Here, nationals get poor treatment and foreigners get VIP treatment. It should be noted that the tourism industry, let alone the airport officialdom, does not have a monopoly of hospitability reserved for foreigners. Let’s add recruitment agencies to that list. Why we even allow recruitment agencies to operate is beyond me. They should be made illegal at this point. We should allow direct hiring so we cut through the red tape. It will also result in wealthier OFWs who don’t have to give a cut of their monthly remittances to the recruitment agencies for

no other reason other than make applicants go all over town for urine and stool samples, boring seminars and a sheet of paper that can only be obtained after standing in line for the whole day (think NBI clearance, birthday certificate and the like). On the other hand it is also public knowledge that these recruitment agencies are scheming thieves who do not care and are powerless over the fate of Filipino workers once they’ve sold them off abroad. Again, a classic example of hospitability reserved for foreigners. They will satisfy foreign employers and sacrifice Filipino workers. Where is the love? I envy Griffiths and his

team. I am glad that they were well-received here. In the meantime, the rest of us here will have to endure the apathetic, careless or sometimes rude service reserved for us by our own kababayans.

Training... from page 6

“I have no problem with that. At least God is with him now. Well, as long as God doesn’t tell him to stop punching,” Roach, a self-confessed Catholic, said rather jokingly. Wednesday’s session included several rounds on heavy bag, double end ball and speed ball that was capped with the usual conditioning exercises under the watchful eyes of

stamina-builder Alex Ariza. The frequency in every aspect of the regimen will increase as the days go by so that by the time training shifts to sparring early next week, everything would be in place, according to Roach.
