‘No war in Mindanao’ By BONG D. FABE, Contributing editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City––Acting Governor Mujiv Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm) yesterday morning appealed for calm and sobriety in posting unverified reports in social media sites regarding the attacks in several front in the Moro region. At the same time, the Macapado Muslim, president of the Mindanao State University System (MSUS)

denied imposing Martial Law inside the campus in the Islamic City of Marawi following last night’s am-

bush by lawless elements on a military truck going inside the campus that killed 3 soldiers and injured 10 civilians. “There is no truth to the information circulating on Twitter, Facebook and social media which allege that war has allegedly broken out in Mindanao. Please refrain from sharing and posting similar information so as not to cause undue panic,” Hataman said in a statement

posted on facebook. He said that the Armed Forces of the Philippines have already contained the group of Ustadz Ameril Umra Kato, leader of the breakaway Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) which attacks 11 municipalities in Maguindanao and North Cotabato since Sunday. While 103rd Infantry Brigade commander Col. Daniel Lucero did not iden-

tify the perpetrators of last night’s ambush in Marawi, Hataman said it was the handiwork of “syndicate groups.” “Last night’s attack to a contingent of the military conducting mobile patrol in Mindanao State University in Marawi City is a handiwork of syndicate groups. Security and law enforcement operations are ongoing,” he said. Hataman said these syn-

dicates are possible “drug syndicates” operating inside the MSU campus. “The Regional Government will definitely flex its muscles to clamp down these people who use the academic institution as a haven of their illegal business while destroying lives of our people,” he added. He said that instead of causing panic and hamper government operations WAR/PAGE 11

Army, police hunt down ambushers of soldiers in Marawi COTABATO City––The Army’s 103rd Infantry Brigade has launched a massive manhunt against a band of bandits who ambushed a military vehicle in Marawi City Wednesday night that left four soldiers dead and 10 others wounded. Three other civilians were hurt in the attack that occurred at about 9:30 p.m. near the Mindanao State University (MSU) campus in Marawi City.

“We are pursuing them, we know them pretty well,” Colonel Daniel Lucero, 10rd Infantry Brigade chief, said. According to Lucero, the attackers were possibly members of gun-for-hire or loyalists of crooked politicians who were caught trying to register fake voters. “Or they could be people who are not happy with our presence in the city or possibly those involved in drug trafficking,” Lucero said.

He said the ambushers opened fire at military personnel who were deployed around MSU campus to protect students who spoke against registration irregularities last July 9-18. The three wounded civilians were on board a private vehicle following the Army truck and were hit by stray bullets. Lucero withheld the name of the slain soldiers POLICE/PAGE 11

BUTUAN CITY – The city council here unanimously approved an ordinance naming a road after the late former Mayor Democrito “Boy Daku” Plaza II. SP Ordinance No. 39262012 named the road from the junction of the na-

ampatana said Mayor Plaza deserves the honor as the former city chief executive had done something good for the city and its people during his 15-year watch. “It cannot be denied that Mayor Boy Daku had contributed to the growth

of Butuan City through the programs and projects he initiated and completed. The imposing city hall building, the city medical center, the ‘beautiful’ barangay halls constructed even in far villages, the Langihan public market,

bus and jitney terminals, and infrastructure projects are the living proofs of his accomplishments. It is but fitting and proper that we recognize these accomplishments”, Carampatana said. Aside from Carampa-

Migz bats for banning of plastics to prevent floods By GERRY L. GORIT Photo-journalist

CAGAYAN de Oro City––Former Senator and now Philippine National Red Cross governor Juan Miguel “Migz” F. Zubiri said plastics was a major factor in the floods that hit a large area in Metro Manila this week.

Speaking at a press conference held Wednesday in Cagayan de Oro, Zubiri said the plastics, especially the kind that is used only once, have clogged up waterways in the capital. He added that there is a bill pending that seeks to ban plastics, authored by Senator Manny Villar and which he co-authored during his time as a member of the Senate, and that this could have addressed the problem had it been passed into law. Zubiri said plastics can be seen in Manila Bay and the esteros around the national capital region. “We have to have a na-

tional ban, not only local ban,” he said, citing the local bans being implemented in Las Pinas and Muntinlupa. He added that there is no such ordinance in Quezon

City and Makati, hence plastics continue to plague Metro Manila’s waterways. The banning of plastics bill includes restaurants, supermarkets, grocery stores

and other retail stores from using such plastics. Zubiri said it’s time to use recyclable bags instead. As governor of the Red Cross, Zubiri is scheduled

to fly back to Manila this week to distribute relief goods for the flood victims. In another development, Zubiri said a Migz For Mindanao Movement has been

launched. The movement is an umbrella organization for all volunteers who help his advocacy for Mindanao including environmental groups. Zubiri is reportedly seeking another term as a senator in the next elections. He said his platform of governance rests on four pillars: environment, food security, education and health. The other day he turned over projects in Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental, consisting of public market, stage and senior citizens’ center. Zubiri said he aims for a 1-Town-1-Project program worth P1-million each for all the municipalities in Mindanao. He said he wants to serve again as a senator from Mindanao so that the region can get more projects. Asked about Senator Koko Pimentel’s leaving their political party because of him, Zubiri said he respects Pimentel’s decision but that he wants them to work together for Mindanao, noting that majority of the senators are from Luzon. He appealed to Mindanaoans to unite and help one another.

Filing raps vs President Aquino sets a precedent THE article: ‘Pres. Aquino should be liable for floods,’ Aug. 9, 2012, Thurs. Mindanao Daily, reminds us only of what have taken place in Cagayan de Oro during the tragic ‘Typhoon Sendong’ last December. There is nothing to explain as reactions reaching this corner varied in context on the article’s ridiculous content. Indeed, it was ludicrous for President Aquino to face charges in connection with the occurrence of natural disaster in Cris Diaz this country. Again, we should not take that article seriously because it was impossible to charge President Aquino for failure to stop disasters - especially in Manila where the President himself resides. However, we wrote the article because of the silly initiative of some individuals in charging incumbent City Mayor Vicente ‘Dongkoy’ Emano in the aftermath of Typhoon Sendong. Some individuals, who formed themselves into different groups in Cagayan de Oro City, blamed ‘Dongkoy’ for allowing people to settle in places declared as ‘danger zone’ by the government’s environment agencies. Based on that premise, President Aquino should be liable for allowing people in Manila to settle in the capital city erstwhile considered ‘danger zone.’ If we are to assess the security of places against natural calamities, Manila is worse than anywhere in the country. Aside from being a flood prone area, some of the country’s major earthquake fault traverses along Manila’s dense capital of over 10 million people. If we are to follow strictly standard set by government agencies on secure place to inhabit, the entire metropolitan Manila should relocate to higher places. It is suggested that Manila and its neighboring provinces and cities should be relocated up in the mountain range of Sierra Madre. However, it is impossible. Now, following the thinking of nitwits, we should instead charged mayors, governors, and even the President for allowing people to stay in Manila being an unsafe place. This is not a laughing matter ‘though as some groups in Cagayan de Oro City entertain the idea that Dongkoy Emano is liable when Typhoon Sendong wrought havoc in this seaport capital. Perhaps, these people could not find concrete issues to pin Dongkoy. Better still, it would be better to charge Pres. Aquino first as a way of setting a concrete precedent. Absurd!

Warning the public that soda can cause diabetes and obesity THE government is within its right to restrict behavior to protect health based on the constitutional fiat, particularly Section 15, Article II of the 1987 Constitution which provides that the State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and instill consciousness among them, according to a lawmaker. Thus a Bill is now being filed to inform the public that soda s or softdrinks can cause diabetes and obesity. Research says a bottle of a regular 8-ounce soda is loaded with five heaping tablespoons of sugar but authorities are now saying that a can of soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar. “Any health provider would simply recommend that adults consume less than six teaspoons of sugar

Editorial a day while kids, only three teaspoons. Thus Health authorities have warned that excessive intake of soda, which some say is habituating can send one’s blood sugar shooting up,” a congressman said. Habitual soda guzzling can increase risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and even cancer, according to a Harvard research which reported that people who drink at least 12 ounces of soda daily are 50% more likely to develop a condition that can lead to coronary artery disease, stroke and diabetes. To disseminate information through advertisements, techniques or schemes on the promise of gain such as prizes in cash or in kind as reward for the purchase of soda, soft

drink or sweetened drink which is more that 16 ounces per bottle or container in a contest should be prohibited, The bill also prohibits the giving of samples and donations of soda products more than 16 ounces per bottle . Manufacturers should post factual health contents and nutritional claims, especially its sugar content, in the label, product’s container or bottle. It shall include an understandable message in Filipino printed on it with the words, “IMPORTANT NOTICE,” or their equivalent as its heading, the Bill stated. Also, manufacturers are required to include in the content signage in all containers or bottles of soda products or sweetened drinks the statement, “DRINKING SODA CAUSES OBESITY AND DIABETES,” the Bill

states. These are desirable measures but the government should ensure that the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the DOST issue the necessary rules and regulations once an Act is implemented. The bill imposes a penalty of 6 years imprisonment or a fine of P100,000 or both against violators. To be fair, since soda production is a huge pillar of the Philippine economy, it is worthwhile that all efforts should be exhausted to really determine whether it is only soda that causes the said health risks. Why not also come out with a reliable research that other foods in the market today are also harmful and may cause the same ailments.

The main thing THINK a minute. I heard a funny, true story about this guy who goes to the gym to exercise several times each week. E ach time he takes 15 minutes to change his clothes and get ready. Then he walks around the gym talking with different people. After that he reads the newspaper. Finally, he does a few stretches and 5-10 minutes of exercises. Then he takes a hot steam bath before going home. So in the entire 2 hours he’s at the gym, he only spends about 10 minutes exercising! One day someone heard this man say: “I don’t understand it. I go to the gym almost everyday, but I never seem to lose weight.” Of course, everybody at the gym knows why. They see this guy there doing

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst everything except the main thing: exercise! It’s very important that we keep the main thing the main thing. If we want to be successful in our job, business, school, or having a happy family, we must always get the main thing done. We should not spend more time and energy on things that are less important than the main thing. We often get distracted and sidetracked doing other things that might be easier or more fun to do, and we fail to ‘take care of business’ with our main responsibili-

ties and priorities. For example, a taxi driver’s main thing is to make money by getting passengers. That means he must be working, driving around looking for passengers. But if most of the day he just cleans and polishes his car, then at the end of the day that’s all he’ll have—a clean car with no money! Successful people don’t just stay busy and work hard, they work smart! They put first things first by doing the most important things that will make them a success.

But many people have heaps of money or positions of respect and power. They’re highly educated, healthy, even good-looking, but they’re still unhappy and poor in real wealth. That’s because unless you have this one main thing, your life will be neither successful nor satisfying. So what is the main thing? It is peace with your Maker. And you can only get it from having a personal relationship with Him where He’s in charge of every area of your life every day. Only then can you have real peace of mind and success that lasts. But it can start happening right now! All you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way. Then ask Him to help you keep the main thing the main thing: live His way every day for the rest of your life. Just Think a Minute

The portrait of Normin’s child labor THE paradoxical statement from William Wordsworth’s Imitation of Immortality from Recollection of Early Childhood which states that “The Child is the Father of the Man” can never be underestimated; however, it can never be ignored that children are children. Their hands are not as strong as their parents’ hands. Their eyes have not yet seen the world as their parents have had. Their feelings are tender and they need every chance to grow, to develop and become individuals who can be accountable for their actions. Thus, the much quoted lines from Chile’s Nobel Prize winning

When Statistics Speak Salvador A. Aves, Ph.D, DM poet, Gabriela Minstral,” The child cannot wait… to him we cannot answer Tomorrow; his name is Today” credit more serious attention. What then is the children situationer in the Philippines? Child labor is one of the many disturbing problems in the Philippines whose

incidence has increased by almost 30 percent from 4.2 million in 2001 to 5.5 million last year as revealed in the 2011 Survey on Children of the National Statistics Office (NSO). “Child labor” in this survey refers to the working children who reported to have worked in hazardous environment regardless of

the number of hours they spent at work (Hazardous Child Labor), or those who have worked for long hours (more than 20 hours a week for children 5 to 14 years old and more than 40 hours a week for children 15 to 17 years old) or “Other Child Labor.” The rest of the working children are classified under “Not Child Labor” category. Out of the 5.492 million working children, 58.4 percent or an estimated 3.210 million were considered as in child labor, while 41.6 percent or an estimated 2.283 million were considered not in child labor.

The government’s K to 12 program By EVANGELINE O. LARGO

THE K to 12 is not the end but rather the beginning of the new tasks in our new generations, lives, hopes, aspirations, and so do to our curriculum. We are now fulfilling the step to improve the quality of education in our country. This is the call and the preparation of graduates, the learners, to face the challenges that await them. The K to 12 is a program and legacy that was made by Filipino for Filipinos. And to prepare the graduates to become competitive globally, the Department of Education (DepEd), and

the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) have been working hand in hand with other stakeholders. Call it an educational reform, although it is not a perfect curriculum, but I would say it was a genuine curriculum. It was implemented to help learners learn Filipino cultures, language, and traditions in the early grades. The key to 12 stresses that using and reading in the Mother Tongue and in Filipino is made easier because these languages have simple orthography. Basically, K to 12 covers kinder and 12 years of

education––six years of primary education, four years of junior high school, and two years of senior high school (SHS). The additional two years (grades 11 and 12) or SHS will allow students to choose among academic, technical–vocational, or sports and arts tracks depending on their interest, the community needs, and the results of their skills assessment. The SHS will allow mastery of core competencies for lifelong learning and preparedness for work, higher education, middlelevel skills development, or entrepreneurship. “The adoption of the

program is in response to the need to improve the competitiveness of our country’s graduates as the 10-year basic education cycle is seen as inadequate for work and higher education,” the government said on its website. It added: “In fact, overseas Filipino workers are not automatically recognized as professionals in other countries that view the 10year education program as insufficient. The Philippines is the only country in Asia and is one of only three countries in the world with a ten-year basic education cycle.” advertorial

Zambo Sur miners’ counsel challenges NBI, TVIRD to present ‘report’ in court By BONG D. FABE Contributing editor CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The lawyers of the officials and members of the Monte de Oro Small Scale Miners Association (Mossma) yesterday challenged officials of the TVI Resources Development Philippines, Inc. (TVIRD) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to present before the court their evidence denying Mossma’s claims that they are being threatened, followed and harassed by TVI henchmen instead of presenting it first to the media. Mossma officials and members have an ongoing case against TVIRD officials before the Court of Appeals here, docketed as CA No.0004-WR/A-MIN. Lawyers Glocelito C. Jayma and Jarley D. SulayTrugillo denounced the T VIRD’s officials pro-

nouncement before the Manila media denying all allegations lodged against in court by the Mossma. They said the media is not the proper forum and venue to present their evidence especially since there is now an ongoing hearing on the case against TVIRD. They were referring to the report submitted by NBI agent Francis V. Senora that claimed that the TVIRD emails that detailed “Operation Bongkag” intercepted by the Mossma officials and members were “maliciously created” and “did not come from an authentic source.” Aside from the NBI report, the TVIRD also presented during its press conference in Manila last Monday (July 30) the findings of the Pacific Strategies and Assessments (PSA), an international private risk assessment and security agency. In its findings, PSA claimed there were

Overactive media BRAND Philippines is once again damaged with all the news footage our overactive media has utilized for content management. The mad scramble to portray the misery caused by the floods and the almost comedic innovative rescue styles dramatizes our incompetence towards handling disaster. Understanding the need for news information is quite differ- Harry Tambuatco ent from the redundant portrayal of the misery we are made to bear. Did we see this with Thailand when they experienced their month long flood tearing industry? Maybe the President is correct about media reporting the good news. The problem with news is the news itself; what sells is disaster. “It’s more fun in the Philippines” again is contested the world over when CNN picks up footage from our local networks. While we may not be able to put a leash on social sites on the net we should at least regulate our media in promoting what can be damaging to the image of the country the DOT work so hard to uplift. Rain and flooding are common disasters shared the world over and we Filipino’s are relatively used to this. There were many signs of residents cleaning up while floods subside to maximize on the waters utilized to clean out the mud the floods brought in. This is a virtue Filipinos can be proud off – this should be dramatized and not necessarily the calamity itself. Need we have all the competing networks broadcast the same photos and footage on the disaster simultaneously? There are no answers promoted in this writing other than to bring to retrospect the action of networks. Alternative content could be talk analysis for infrastructure improvement. Engineering analysis could likewise offer innovative approaches towards infrastructure to educate the viewers. Environmental issues could likewise be discussed with empowerment to NGO’s and climate change advocators. “Pagasa” could take a pro-active stance by a deeper analysis of meteorological discoveries so the people may know they’re not necessarily sitting on their asses. The promotion of virtues would make great content to educate the masses on poor practices. Understanding the dams and their significance would also help us understand for a better comprehension rather than blame its managers for releasing waters collected or in this case overflowing. Government leadership may be able to enact noresidential zones to perennially flooded areas; after all there is no power stronger than mother earth when it unleashes its wrath. Political will while it is acceptable with a popular president may be the right time to do so. Relief distribution so long it does not dramatize the poverty it usually does would make good content. Driving techniques for flood waters could educate MEDIA/PAGE 11

Solon says your favorite softdrink poses health risks MANILA- A legislator is pushing to regulate the sale, marketing and promotions of soda or sweetened drinks in containers over 16 ounces to fight obesity and diabetes. Rep. Magtanggol Gunigundo I (2nd District, Valenzuela City) said there is a need for government to step in with regulations to guide consumers away from potentially harmful food and drinks to stop the onslaught of obesity and diabetes in the country. Gunigundo filed House Bill 6341 or the “Soda Regulation Act of 2012,” which seeks to prohibit the sale of soda, soft drinks or sweetened drinks 16 ounces or above per bottle/container. It imposes trade regulations and stricter implementation of marketing and promotion of these products. Gunigundo said the Philippines as a decent society, which already bans smok-

More new businesses locating in DavSur town STA. CRUZ, Davao del Sur, -– More new businesses are locating in the municipality of Sta. Cruz in this province with the five new comers adding up to over 30 industrial companies operating in the area, according to town Mayor Joel Ray Lopez. For 2012 alone, he said two of these are the expansion projects of Hedcor, Inc. of close to P3 billion investments, the expansion of Franklin Baker Company, Sea Oil, Misubishi and an Indian Company for coconut and rice bran oil processing. Lopez however did not disclose the investments but said that these companies will be locating in their town. He said they continue to welcome industrial companies considering that many of their constituents are employed in these companies. He also said two companies are considering their town for a solar project even as he said they welcome projects that would generate power considering that the more industries that are locating in the municipality,

ing in public parks in the name of public health and now tries to bar artificial transfats from food served in restaurants, should now stop sales of large sodas and other sugary drinks, in a bid to fight obesity. Citing a study conducted by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Gunigundo said obesity is now on the rise among Filipino adults ages 20 and up, and threatens to increase the number of people having degenerative diseases like heart disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The increase was

discovered in 2008 when it registered a trend in the study conducted by the DOST’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI). “Based on the study, there were about 20 out of 100 adults of both sexes who were overweight in 1998. The figure increased to 24 and 27 out of 100 in 2003 and 2008, respectively. In the 2008 survey, 2.7% Filipino adults aged 20 years and over are suffering from impaired fasting glucose, while hyperglycemia or high fasting blood sugar (FBS) level is 4.8%. The prevalence of hyperten-

sion among adults is 25%, increasing with age starting from age 40-49 years,” Gunigundo said. Gunigundo said the relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is so strong that researchers calculate that for each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases 1.6 times. Under the measure, soda manufacturers are prohibited to advertise that people buying their softdrinks would win prizes in cash or in kind. The bill provides the mandatory posting of factual health contents and nutritional claims, especially its sugar content, in the label product’s container or bottle. It shall include an understandable message in Filipino printed on it with the words, “IMPORTANT NOTICE,” or their equivalent as its heading.

Davao Norte opens resort inside prison facility TAGUM City – Inmates could now avail ample time to mingle with their families, visitors including their lawyers within the newly opened Daval del Norte District Jail Inland Resort inside the provincial jail compound this city. Governor Rodolfo P. Del Rosario said the resort will boost the position of the correctional facility as haven of change and personal growth of the inmates. The inmates are now to be called as vacationers or “bakasyonistas,” the governor said. Del Rosario added the families and friends of the inmates could also occupy

several cottages which were built on top of a lagoon at the western stretch of the provincial jail. “The project is an expression of our strong commitment not merely in the promotion of the welfare of the “bakasyonistas” but more so for the advancement of jail management,” the governor said. The resort could become a pilot project of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) which is now managing the facility. It would showcase the good practices instituted by the agency, Del Rosario told. Jail warden Police Sr. Inspector Ian Glenn Ocmen said the project would create an enriching environment for the inmates’ family

members and friends, and could also boost the morale and welfare of the inmates despite of being locked up. Some of t he resor t’s amenities include a wellness cottage, a family cottage where family members can freely relax and play during the visit, and some lawyers’ lounges which could provide privacy for the counsels and the inmates to talk bout their cases. Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 30 presiding Judge Rowena Adlawan welcomed the project, saying the improved facility could help in building public perception that the BJMP enhances public safety, and treats the inmates humanely while awaiting the final disposition of their cases.

the more power supply is needed. He said they did not hesitate for Hedcor, Inc. to do an expansion project because most of the power generated from its two plants will be delivered to Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative (DASURECO). DASURECO, he said, supplies their power requirement and the demand continue to increase more because many industries continue to locate in their

area. Meanwhile, he said the companies locating in their area also contribute to the town's income. He said Hedcor is the biggest local taxpayer not only for Sta. Cruz town but for the province of Davao del Sur. In 2011, he said Hedcor paid some P60 million in taxes covering real property tax, the national wealth and royalties. He also said despite

the fact that the company is qualified to avail of tax incentives, the company waived this and instead paid the regular taxes. The mayor said P100 million in local taxes and their Internal Revenue Allotment is at P110 million. However, he said they are working on their cityhood and targets 2015 that their Class A municipality becomes a City three years from now.

Soda Pool, Camiguin’s added tourists treat

By Jorie C. Valcorza Camiguin never runs out of surprises. Yes, this beautiful volcanic island, lying off the north east coast of Mindanao, offers another extraordinary treat to tourist. Cold and hot springs waters are common, but a pool made of soda, that's rare. Lying beneath Mount Hibok-Hibok in Barangay Bura of Catarman town is the healing and whitening waters of the soda pool. This interesting pool tastes just like the commercialized bottle soda water minus the acidity. Its water source spouts up natural carbonated water, so rich that the continued flow of the spring water bubbles surface up the pool. A dip in mineral water, with such lush vegetations around, while the majestic volcanoes watch over is breathtaking. If milk baths are supposed to be good for the skin, bathing in soda, according to the local folks, is therapeutic . Cindy Hill, an awarded freelance writer said in one of her articles, that soda springs are quite rare, and that this mineral water rises from the earth naturally carbonated, forming warm pools. She quoted some studies that reveal that this nutrient-rich water provides critical habitat to rare plants and animals, but not restricted to wildlife alone. Scientists believe that soaking in the pools or better yet drinking it will reap the health benefits of natural soda water, which is known to reduce osteoporosis, decrease cardiovascular health disease, and lower blood pressure. Mineral content of soda spring water may vary from location to location. Meanwhile, Barangay Agoho in the municipality of Mambajao is using soda water in its water system. Before the pool in Bura was developed, visitors often dropped briefly in Agoho just to try its all-free soda bath. Camiguin from the sound of its name “come again” until now remains an exciting place to visit over and over again. It can take you to its virgin forests, highest peak, great dive sites, historical landmarks, as well as, must-try foods and delicacies only the island can offer. It is only here where you might want to leave your jeans off and go shirtless all day as you take a dip on its unique varieties of water giving a rare combination of healing, cleansing, relaxin, and refreshing swim.

XCCA director stars in award-winning play X

avier Center for Culture and the Arts Director Hobart Savior is part of the cast of the Integrated Performing Arts Guild’s (IPAG), “Ming Ming,” the Palanca Award-winning play by Steven PC Fernandez. “Ming Ming” is a story of three generations of a powerful Maranao family dealing with issues of

politics, family honor and family feud. As Ming Ming uncovers the secrets of her family, the audience, too, learns about peace, conflict and social reform. Savior played the role of P, Ming Ming’s resentful uncle who tries to impose his fundamentalist views on her niece and her mother. The play was staged

earlier this May at Xavier University during the soft launching of IPAG’s 35th Season. In its staging this July at the Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, 17 out of its 19 performances were standing-room only. Since it premiered in 2004, “Ming Ming” has gained critical acclaim. It won the Palanca award in

2006. Acting in the play along with Savior were other IPAG veterans Diane Therese Clemente, Venus Tan, Jean Graciela Penola, Orwel Obach, Kenn Erwin Velasquez and Leilani Fernandez. Michael Lagura and Blesy Cece played alternating roles. The play was directed by Fernandez, himself, who

by posting unverified reports on social media sites, people should “be part of the solution and not cause further trouble.” Muslim, on the other hand, said it is “unfortunate” that the ambush happened inside the campus. “There is no truth to the rumor that Martial law will be declared in the main campus. Let us not allow said incident to disrupt the operation of the University. My Office has not issued or received any order from higher authorities suspending classes. Hence, faculty members, students and employees should report to their classes or offices,” he said. “We are in the holy month of Ramadhan and let us avoid spreading lies. I have been coordinating with Col. Lucero and Col. Magsalos on how to ensure the security of our campus constituents,” he added. Armed men positioned themselves along the road leading into the MSU campus and ambushed the incoming military truck, killing 3 soldiers. An ensuring firefight occurred. Soldiers successfully repulsed the gunmen. But another group of lawless elements attacked another Army base guarding the Agus hydro power plant in downtown Marawi. (Bong D. Fabe)

or business posted 42.2 percent, while 30.0 percent were reported supplementing family income or working for family well-being. What is the portrait of NorMIn’s child labor? The 2011 Survey on Children (SOC ) reveals an alarming statistics which show that three in every ten children aged 5 to 17 years in Northern Mindanao (29.6%) were working. In the National Capital Region and in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the ratio was only one in every ten children. The implications show that poverty is the biggest push that has made children worked and to start working as soon as they can manage to handle work which is hazardous to their health and to their well-being .This calls for interventions to give the children the opportunity for education and of appropriate social, cultural, physical and psychosocial development.

Comparing between boys and girls, statistics show that in every ten working children, six were boys while four were girls. Causing alarm to our nation planners are the findings that as young as 5 years old, statistics show an 8.2 percent of working children who belonged to the 5 to 9 years of age category, while 46.7 percent of the working children were 15 to 17 years old and 45.1 percent were 10 to 14 years old. More alarming are those identified working in hazardous work environment which registered 39.9 percent for those exposed to physical environment , 19.1 for those exposed to chemical and physical hazards and 13.7 percent for those exposed to combined chemicals, physical and biological hazards. While it is every child’s right to obtain formal education, it is sad to note that for all age groups, there is still 29.9 percent reported not attending school, and out of the three age groups (5-9,10-14,15-17), 47.3 percent among those belonging to 15-17 years old were not attending school. Between the two sexes, there were more boys than girls among the children in hazardous labor who were attending school. The root cause that triggered children to work is poverty.

the driving public during these periods (it’s crazy how many drive fast on flooded areas). More education on vehicle maintenance after flooding would be great content. There is a need to innovate the pursuit of newsworthy content other than to dramatize misery. Executives of broadcast networks need to tow the line towards nation building other than escalating panic through videos of seemingly nohope. We are a people resilient towards any adversity – gee, let us promote these virtues for the world to see. The DBM with its scrutiny towards releases is commendable with funds made available during these periods of need. A forward and current accounting for fund releases makes good content. This way corruption at best generates a better perception over corrupt practices. There are many ways to improve broadcast content it is not necessarily the bad news that should engulf the viewers.

NBI and PSA report they presented to the media,” Jayma told local reporters during a press conference here. Sulay-Trugillo said that during the course of the hearing at the 21st Division of the Court of Appeals Mindanao Station here, Associate Justice Ma. Luisa C. Quijano-Padilla ordered the TVIRD legal counsel and officials to present their evidence in court, especially anything that they have to debunk the claim of the Mossma officials and members. But the TVIRD legal counsel and officials stalled and did not present any evidence in court. Instead, they claimed during the hearing that TVIRD system was hacked. “They claimed that their system was hacked. So if it was hacked, then the emails are real,” said Sulay-Trugillo. “We want a copy of those reports they presented before the Manila media. They were given time to present their evidence in court since we have an ongoing hearing on the case against them here. But instead of presenting their evidence in court, they presented it to the media. We wonder why they did not present that in court,” stressed Jayma. In his letter to a national daily (not the Mirror) copy furnished to this reporter, Jayma questioned the NBI for releasing the report to the media and not to the court. He said TVIRD also did not give a copy of the NBI report to the Mossma. “The so-called NBI report was not submitted in court during the last hearing on July 19 and 20, 2012, even as the TVIRD was given time to present evidence. TVIRD did not give a copy to the petitioners on alleged NBI report during the last hearing on the writ of amparo... In other words, the so-called NBI report was released to media for some reasons. Clearly, it is my impression, the so-called NBI report is not really intended for the court to evaluate,” he said in his letter. He said the alleged “malicious” emails, as claimed by the alleged NBI report, is now a part of the public record since these emails were presented by Mossma as its evidence in its case against TVIRD. But the alleged NBI report has not been presented in court and thus is not a part of the public record. “...the purported emails dismissed as ‘malicious’ in the so-called NBI report is now a public record since it has been submitted in evidence by the petitioners in the writ of amparo case. And the court has already made initial ruling on it after it issued Temporary Protection Order (TPO) in favor of petitioners last July 24, 2012,” he explained. During the press conference, Sulay-Trugillo said that what were described in the emails and what have happened to their clients

on the ground were “not coincidence.” “The threats are real. The surveillance are real. And all the negative happenings to our clients coincided with what were described in the emails. That is not coincidence. TVIRD claimed that the emails were fabricated by our clients. If these were fabricated, why are then these emails correspond to what happened to our clients?” she asked. TVIRD and NBI officials better explain this in court and not before the media, she added. The emails were circulated late last year and early this year. Some emails contained information about alleged bribery attempts on ranking officials of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and a plot to murder Mossma and local officials in Zamboanga del Sur. In one or two of the emails, Governor Antonio Cerilles of Zamboanga del Sur was mentioned as giving his approval to a plot to liquidate certain members of Mossma. Other emails also mentioned retired AFP Gen. Emmanuel Cayton, TVIRD director for security. But both Cerilles and Cayton denied the allegations. However, Jayma said the emails “is only one of the basis for the filing of the Writ of Amparo.” On July 13, 2012, Associate Justice Ma. Luisa C. Quijano-Padilla of the 21st Division of the Court of Appeals Mindanao Station, issued the Writ of Amparo in favor of the Mossma officials and members. The same court issued a Temporary Protection Order in favor of the Mossma on July 24, 2012. Mossma, a duly registered organization with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Registration No. G1997-00247) on August 14, 1997, is composed more than 5,000 of small-scale miners, 60 percent of which are Subanen, in Sitio Balabag, Barangay Depore in Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur. Members of the group started mining in Balabag Hill, said to contain 1.37 million tons of gold and silver, in 1987.

LONDON OLYMPICS 2012

MEDAL COUNT & RANKING (As of August 9, 2012 - 5:00pm) Rank | Country

Russia beats Lithuania to reach semifinal LONDON, Aug. 9 - Russia’s men reached the semifinals of the Olympic basketball tournament Wednesday, beating Lithuania 83-74 in a dramatic match. Andrei Kirilenko, who returned to the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves last month, topscored for the Russians, making a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. "We feel good, it's our first Olympic Games and we did well. We will keep fighting and just play hard," Russia's Denver Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov said.

Russia showed good defensive skills and took a nine-point lead at the beginning of the second quarter. However, inspired play by exPhiladelphia 76er Darius Songaila, who scored 10 points in the second quarter alone, left three-time bronze medalist Lithuania only five points behind Russia after the first half, only for Kirilenko and Mozgov to give Russia a 14-point lead. Lithuania answered with an 11-0 run to reduce the gap. A tense fourth quarter ended in Russia’s favor after Mantas

Kalnietis missed a three-pointer with 45 seconds remaining to end Lithuania’s hopes of a comeback. Either France or Spain will meet Russia in the semifinal, with the Russians hoping for their first basketball medal. Either Brazil or Argentina and the United States or Australia will make up the second semifinal. "The Americans are all stars but we for sure would like to play them," Minnesota and Russia point guard Alexey Shved said. PNA
