DILG-13 commits to stop ‘child labor’ in Agusan Norte AGUSAN del Norte Director Lilibeth A. Famacion of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG-13) has signed an agreement with other regional line agencies, signifying commitment to end child labor incidence, particularly in this province. This is an offshoot of the reported existence of child laborers in Brgy. Bagang, Jabonga town, labeled as “Batang Kalabaw” characterized by children pulling or dragging cut logs to designated places where hauler trucks are stationed. Ten identified “Batang Kalabaws” in said barangay, received educational supplies from the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), recently Director Famacion said, the prevalence of illegal logging in the region, notably in this province where the hasty source of money is the hauling of illegal logs, contributes to the occurrence of pervasive child labor.

“Many children, as young as seven years old regardless of gender, were victims of this kind of cruel activity and this will exacerbate the incidence of illiteracy, malnutrition and exploitation among children,” she

stated. Thus, there must be a convergence of initiatives to put a stop to child-labor activities in this region, she added. DILG focuses its support on the formulation

of ordinances against child labor, and the creation and strengthening of the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC). (NCLM/Florian Faith Jr. P. Bayawa/DILG-13/PIACaraga/asf )

Kegi, Fibeco launch its new power plant in Barangay Puntian By MILDRED BORBON TORREJAS, Correspondent

QUEZON, Bukidnon––The First Bukidnon Electric Cooperative (Fibeco) and its partner, King Energy, Inc. (Kegi), launched its 3.2-megawatt (MW) bunker fueled power plant in Barangay Puntian here on Sunday (July 29, 2011). The partnership was sealed after the Fibeco signed Contract for the Supply of Electric Energy (CSEE) with the Kegi on February 24, 2012. The inaugural ceremony started with a thanksgiving mass, followed by the blessing of the 3.2MW power generation plant being constructed by Kegi. After the blessing, the inaugural proper followed–– and the raising of flags of Kegi and Fibeco, ribbon cutting, and the declaration of generation plant opening and official switch-on of the 3.2MW Bukidnon power plant 1. The ceremony ended with the throwing of coins and candies by the incorporators. Present at the inaugural ceremony were Director Regin D. Mordeno, Director Ricarte E. Salapang, Director and Architect Raul L. Alkuino, Director Romeo Y. Pacanan, Director Felix G. Vergara Jr., and Engr. Renato S. Cortezano, General Manager. Also present at the inaugural ceremony were Nonoy Laviña, Glenn Peduche and Valencia City Councilor Iko Alkuino. Fibeco serves the franchise areas in the south, namely the City of Valencia and the municipalities of San Fernando, Maramag, Don Carlos, Pangantucan, Kalilangan, Quezon, Dangcagan, Kitaotao, Kibawe, Kadingilan and Damulog.

DENR shuts down13 sawmills in Region 12 KORONADAL City, South Cotabato–– Thirteen erring sawmills in Soccsksargen Regions have been padlocked by the operatives of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-12 for violations of environment laws and regulations. Dr. Adeluisa G. Siapno, Regional Executive Director (RED) of the DENR-12, said “we are now conducting a comprehensive evaluation on the operations of all holders of mini-sawmill permits to determine whether they strictly complied with all the existing DENR laws, rules and regulations pertaining to sawmilling operations.” Of the 13 sawmills, nine are in South Cotabato, three in Cotabato City and one in Sarangani Province. Padlocked mini-sawmills in South Cotabato were Patwoods Processing Inc. of Surallah; Emerald Industries of Koronadal City as well as the sawmills owned by

Manolito Landicho, Robi Magalaman, Lilit Delizo, Nieves Landicho, Marlon Cunanan, and Donato Rivera -- all in Tupi town. Those in Cotabato City were Amacon Mini-Sawmill and Lumberyard, Arcela Mini-Sawmill and Lumberyard, and Suralda Mini Sawmill while that in Sarangani was Phela Resources Corp. of Maitum town. Except for Amacon MiniSawmill and Lumberyards, which could not present proof of legal sources of logs, all of the wood processors had expired permits. Forrester Larry Curias, technical staff of Dir. Siapno, explained that the padlocked

sawmills could resume business “once they have completed requirements and have registered with DENR” but emphasized, “they have to prove that they have enough legal sources of logs to supply their operations for at least five years.” Earlier, DENR Undersecretary for Field Operations, Demetrio L. Ignacio, Jr. ordered the closure of all wood processing plants or sawmills without the required legitimate sources of logs for a period of at least five years. The requirement is pursuant to Item 2.5, Section 2 of Executive Order No. 23 entitled “Declaring a Moratorium on the Cutting and Harvesting of Timber in the Natural and Residual Forests and Creating the Anti-Illegal Logging Task Force” issued on February 1, 2011 by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. Item 2.5, Sec. 2 of EO 23 states: “The DENR shall

close and not allow to operate all sawmills, veneer plants, and other wood processing plants who are unable to present proof of sustainable sources of legally cut logs for a period of at least five (5) years…” During the first meeting between RED Siapno and reporters in South Cotabato and General Santos City on July 20, an official of the DENR-12 disclosed that along with the on-going confiscation of illegally cut logs and forest products, they have also stepped up monitoring of sawmills, lumber dealers and similar business against entry and use of illegally-sourced products. A report from DENR12 indicated that a total of 60,15 board feet of illegal lumber, flitches and other forest products -- valued at P1.28 million -- have been confiscated across Region 12 from January 1 until July 5 this year.

Sleeping with (political) enemies THE administration’s Liberal Party in Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental is as shaky as it came three years ago. One of Liberal Party’s inherent defects is the ‘internal party’ conflict that tagged along with it until now. This internal conflict boils down to power sharing in the affairs of the government. The story of the ‘Balay Group’ and the ‘Samar Group’ still persist within the Liberal Party to this day. As LP’s party head Cris Diaz President Benigno Aquino, III, ‘though never-care-less of the party’s political squabbling. Aquino have distance himself from LP’s party conflict. No, it does not mean that Aquino does not need a political party to back his leadership. Aquino has his own political party aptly described by the political opposition as ‘Kamag-anak, Kamag-aral, and Kabarilan’ (KKK). Where his mother the late President Corazon Aquino maintained the ‘Kamag-anak Inc.,’ the son, Pres. Aquino simply expanded with the coming in of ‘Kamag-aral and Kabarilan’ Inc. Nothing is wrong with that. After all, Aquino finds solace in the company of his own group than being with LP. The above premise could be the undeclared reason why Aquino did not accommodate most certified LP candidates, especially those who lost in the 2010 elections, in his government. A year ago, LP party members could not but expressed dismay over Aquino’s cold treatment of them. Certainly, this frustration is shared not only in the corridors of power but also in the provincial level. In Cagayan de Oro City, there were certified LP leaders who worked hard for Aquino’s presidential bid for two reasons. One, they were LP members. Two, they got assurance of getting appointment to juicy positions once Aquino was elected. Of course, pledges such as this one is not new in politics. When political wannabes pretending to be ‘neutral’ personalities launched the signature campaign to recall incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano, volunteers bragged of getting appointments to positions once Emano was out of City Hall. Indeed, there is nothing new to political lies in the guise of promises. The LP employed such double talked in the 2010 presidential elections in Cagayan de Oro, too. The sad part of the story is when Aquino allowed ENEMIES/PAGE 11

How to have it all! THINK a minute. There was a rich English Baron named Fitzgerald who had only one child, a son. Fitzgerald’s only son was the love and pride of his parents. But when the son was just a boy, his mother died. He and his father became even closer. Meantime, Fitzgerald had become much richer. He collected very expensive, valuable paintings by the famous artists of the world. Then, just two years after losing his wife, Fitzgerald’s son became sick and died as a young boy. Before Fitzgerald himself died years later, he carefully wrote his will and instructions on how his riches were to be handled. He wanted an auction to sell all of his valuable

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst paintings. They were worth millions of dollars, so many rich people from all over Europe came to the auction. Among all the valuable paintings, however, was 1 cheap, poor quality painting by an unknown local artist. It was a painting of Fitzgerald’s only son. Fitzgerald had ordered that this painting of his son be sold first before any of the other expensive paintings. Yet, because it was of

such poor quality no one wanted to buy it. Finally, an old servant of Fitzgerald who had known the son and loved him offered to buy the ugly painting for only a couple of dollars. Then, before they continued to sell all the expensive, valuable paintings, the lawyer read out loud from Fitzgerald’s will. Fitzgerald had written: “Whoever buys the painting of my son also gets

everything else that I own. The auction is now over.” That old servant who truly loved Fitzgerald’s son got everything! All of Fitzgerald’s valuable art, money, houses, land, the servant got it all! Remember, God said that if we love and live for Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, then we also will become God’s children and have all that God has to give us. But you and I must choose to love Jesus and live His way every day, instead of our own way. Jesus said that’s the only way you and I can have it all. So why not become God’s son or daughter today? Simply ask Jesus to take full charge of your heart and way of living, for the rest of your life. Just Think a Minute.

It taught mothers the significance of skin-to-skin contact of mother and baby immediately after birth and breastfeeding within the first hour of life. It sought to encourage mothers that a small amount of breast milk is sufficient for baby during the first week, and that with frequent feeding the supply will eventually increase. More important was the aspect on exclusive feeding which means giving only breast milk to baby during the first six months. However, the findings of the 2011 Family Health HEROES/PAGE 11

Banking history Second of four parts YESTERDAY, we discussed the growth of banking in the Philippines during the Spanish and American colonial periods. In this second article of our fourpart series on the history of banking in the country, we will examine how banking developed during the Commonwealth era and under the Philippine Republic. During the Commonwealth period (1935-1946), more foreign bank branches, such as the Bank of Taiwan and the Nederlandsche Indische Handelsbanks, were established in the Philippines. In 1939, the government created the Agricultural and Industrial Bank to absorb the functions of the National

Speaking Out IGNACIO BUNYE Loan and Investment Board and to harness government resources. The Philippine Bank of Communications, reported to be the first bank with genuine Filipino private capital, was also established during this period. However, it was temporarily closed at the outbreak of the Second World War. According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ “The General Banking Law Annotated: Book 2” (our main

source of these historical data), only Filipino-owned and Japanese banks were allowed to operate during World War II. The Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, the HSBC, and the National City Bank of New York were all treated as enemy properties and placed under liquidation by the Japanese Military Government. On the other hand, the Nampo Kaihatsu Kinko (or the Southern Development

Bank) opened a Manila branch in 1942 and acted as the Japanese government’s fiscal agent in the Philippines. After the liberation, all domestic banks that operated during the Japanese occupation were unable to reopen because the greater part of their assets consisted of worthless Japanese war notes, bonds, and obligations of the Japanese-sponsored republic, and balances with Japanese banks. In June 1945, Executive Order No. 48 paved the way for the reopening of some banks. The first license to reopen was granted to the National City Bank of New York in June, 1945.

Retribution before redemption sounds more biblical TO forgive and not forget can sound very vengeful but in reality this is what most of us practice and for those who forget, they deserve to stumble all over again. For businessmen this concept of not forgetting is essential to their success. While we can blunder and fall flat on our face, experiencing the consequences; one should never forget the mistakes in the first place. To be fooled once is to be human, Harry Tambuatco to be fooled twice is sheer stupidity but the third time around, you become the idiot! The issue of whether a president should have said repeatedly “to forgive is okay but to forget?” can be iffy. Assuming his Catholic faith the phrasing should have been different. The president’s extemporaneous assertions can be a

positive virtue and likewise retarded. The problem here is when he speaks as a person, this is of no issue but as the president can be stupefying. In this specific case it is understood to be vengeful. Past presidents have found it in their hearts to be compassionate if only to lure the sentiments of the people. Their authority has the power to excuse if not pardon criminals. To be vengeful can be terminal. And as perceptions have it, his family is vengeful; considering the late former President Cory, who went after the Marcos’s and their wealth creating no less the PCGG with the singular intention of running after the former presidents’ family. Curiously enough an obvious parallel commission created by Pnoy did not pass the litmus test of the Supreme Court with GMA in mind. On another issue, I am impressed Pnoy has taken on the Catholic Church with his support for the RH bill. The controversy rages in the House of Representatives with endless debates and deliberations and yet it has yet

to be put to the numbers game congress is all about. The assumption that Pnoy controls the House, considering the issues with the Corona impeachment will be phenomenal. Can he actually succeed and the Representatives committing suicide right before their reelection? To challenge economic and political issues is one thing but to take on the Church all together in a predominantly Catholic country is another. The elections for the incumbents are a necessity and an investment while they sit in power. To lose is unacceptable. Unlawful as the practice is, to give monies and to feed their constituents’ is tradition as soon as they represent the people. This expense is treated as an investment for reelection sourced from “we shall not mention” to make them endearing to the people. The poor contenders who seek office, some of whom may actually be the true and competent leaders they BIBLICAL/PAGE 11

Gateway to Caraga hosts 21st Mindanao Business Conference BUTUAN City––Butuan City, gateway to the resourcerich Caraga region of Northern Mindanao, is hosting the 21st Mindanao Business Conference (MinBizCon), on August 2 to 4 at the Almont Hotel Inland Resort. Organized by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the Butuan Chamber of Commerce, with support from the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through its Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) Program, the “MinBizCon” is the main multi-sectoral platform for fostering competitiveness and accelerating growth in Mindanao. The MinBizCon is also supported by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Tourism, Department of Agriculture, and other partners. “We are looking forward to hosting this event and drawing attention to investment in Butuan City and surrounding provinces,” said Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr., who cited several on-going business developments in Butuan, including the construction of a mall and 150room hotel by a nationwide chain, as well as a golf course. “This is a good time for public-private investment. We are finalizing build-operate-transfer (BOT) schemes for upgrading the ports in Nasipit and Masao, and have worked with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), other government agencies and the local private sector to open up 10,000 hectares of land for development,” Amante said. DTI Regional Director Brielgio Pagaran said that in addition to its tourism and mining industries, the Caraga region around Butuan City has strong competitive advantages in agriculture. “Among the newer agri-businesses, we have herbal processing plant for the export market that uses local raw materials, and ventures in sago flour and nipa sap sugar production, to name just a few,” Pagaran said. The MinBizCon will have plenary sessions on current public-private initiatives in the energy sector in Caraga as well as on improved economic integration within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), through the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA). The conference is also an opportunity for a broad range of stakeholders to speak with one voice on the region’s most pressing economic policy concerns. The highlight of the conference is the presentation of the annual Mindanao Business Policy Agenda to President Benigno Aquino III. The formulation of the policy recommendations contained in the Agenda was initiated through broad-based regional consultations held earlier this year by PCCI in the cities of Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro and General Santos, in collaboration with MinDA and USAID. At a series of roundtable discussions held in Manila in early July, cabinet officials and private sector representatives met to fine-tune recommendations aimed at improving key business sectors, and to draft appropriate government responses. The MinBizCon is expected to draw 300 participants, including senior business leaders, members of chambers of commerce, government policymakers, investors and foreign trading partners. Butuan City, which has five weekly round-trip commercial flights to Manila and three to Cebu, has become known in recent years as a Mindanao convention destination, with accommodations for more than 2,800 guests. Conference participants will have the opportunity to tour the city’s main attractions, which include the Butuan National Museum housing ancient Asian artifacts, and the Balangay Shrine. They will also have a chance to visit the on-going archaeological excavation of another centuries-old balangay boat used in Southeast Asian trade routes.

Candidates Candidate number 6 is Juriel Origenes “YengYeng” Valledor of Barangay Kauswagan, born on August 17, 1991. Yeng-yeng is a BS Tourism Management student at the Liceo de Cagayan University; her hobbies include playing the guitar and cooking. Her favorite sport is badminton. Juriel considers modeling, tour guiding, singing, dancing (dance sport) as her special set of skills and talents. “Physically, I am an athletic person because I’m into badminton. Emotionally, I am a very sensitive type of person. I am also very religious and adventurous… I believe I have the personality to represent the city in promoting its tourism industry.” Candidate number 7 is Maria Leslie Angelina “Lez” Ghan of Barangay Carmen, born on October 18, 1992 in Cebu City. Lez studied at the

Xavier University –Ateneo de Cagayan in the Civil Engineering course. Her hobbies include technical workshops, outdoor activities, trying different delicacies, dancing and modeling. Her favorite sports are swimming and chess. She also considers the following as special skills: advanced college math, public speaking and composition writing. “I am a fun loving person, that’s why I love trying new things. I am strongly opinionated, but I try my best to get the opinion of others. I can be soft and bubbly but I can also be firm and strong. I have a diverse sense of style, but over-all I’m a laidback girl who just loves to dress up. My friends and family are very important to me but I know I am not afraid to get what I want when no one can stop me… I want to serve the people of my city as a model and inspiration especially to women and children”.

PH bill to require films to put subtitles he independent T filmmaking wave is just soaring high and getting

all the attention it needs to promote the craft. The NCCA’s Cinema Rehiyon Film Festival project, which I am also a product of, is now on its 4th leg and happens ever y Februar y during the Philippine Arts Month celebration. Regional films from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao use their native dialect and we are already required to put in subtitles as there are foreigners who go to the festival and watch the films. I’ve recently read an ar ticle that Pasay Cit y representative Emi CalixtoRubiano files a bill requiring English subtitles for each Philippine made film to help tourists and foreigners appreciate Philippine culture. I have no problem with this bill, so now both mainstream and independent films have to subtitle. The problem really may arise from the mainstream as they are not used to subtitling, as for us guerrilla and independent filmmakers – we are used to it. The mainstreamers may dislike the thought of putting in subs on their “masterpiece” as this may distract the Filipino audience into reading the English subs. In the independent f i l m m a k i n g s c e n e, w e have no choice but to sub because we use our local

dialec ts, an advantage for us Mindanaoans who understand both Ce b u a n o a n d Ta g a l o g, but then again when we watch Kapangpangan or Zamboanga films –errr, subs please. "(By adding subtitles,) we are offering our foreign guests not only the opportunity to have a glimpse of what we can offer in terms of entertainment, but also the window to showcase our culture and some of our tourists spots as may be shown in the film," ~ Representative Emi CalixtoRubiano With this thought, I think it’s a good idea but maybe selective as there are mainstream films that are just “popcorn” flicks – the Pinoy audiences may be annoyed by reading the subs from time to time. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Public Information. Well at least if our foreigner friends decide to watch a Pinoy film with us, we don’t have to translate. There’s also one thing I’m concerned of – will the translations (subtitles) be accurate and grammatically correct? It should be, otherwise it will be like the pirated dvds’ subtitling most of the time… also sometimes, the subs don’t match the dialogues. So, who wants to watch subtitled Gerald and Sarah flicks? Raise your feet!

Statistics show that for exclusive breastfeeding, CAR tops in the entire Philippines with 49.2 percent, followed by Region 2 with 40.8 percent. Region 10 has only 25.2 percent, while Region 4A registered the lowest with only 18.8 percent. These figures reflect an imperative need for a stronger advocacy to inform the mothers the importance of breastfeeding and to make them understand that a baby who is being breastfed is most likely “to avoid the risk of malnutrition, infection and early grave.” It is worth mentioning that a research on breastfeeding duration and academic achievement at 10 years which used a cohort of 2900 women who were enrolled at 18 weeks’ gestation with 2868 live-born children showed that tenyear-old children who were predominantly breastfed for 6 months or longer in infancy had higher academic scores than children who were breastfed for less than 6 months (Oddy et al, 2010) These are but few statistics, but the reverberation of their echoing implications speak louder than words can convey.

require need to invest even more if not to buy the elections all together should they lust the position, or simply lose. The people know where funds are sourced from but do they care? To collect now and not later is the objective with cash. The multiple commissions and advocacies centered around election education does nothing but offer lip service during election time. Not one agency or NGO bother to educate voters on

their rights and ill practices. As for the national leaders, it is best to stay the status quo and keep the positions driven by celebrity status and to be popular keeping a media presence. No wonder we have dynasties voted into positions with consistency by an ignorant public who use sheer recall into choosing candidates. Platforms and deliveries of promises are never a concern. Like in Mexico, we the indios” are driven by the media as to who we are to vote, who we are to trust and who we are to succumb to. The broadcast surveys are pertinent and consistent to endorse the falsity driven by media and private interests to tell us what our public opinion is to be. Best the “masa” secure the strings that control them and pray, after all it is the church that redeems us after death.

banks such as the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, HSBC, and Nederlandsche Indische Handelsbanks were likewise granted the license to reopen. In 1947, a branch of the Bank of America, NT & SA (Bank of America) of San Francisco, California, was allowed to establish a branch in Manila. The following year, the Bank of America absorbed the assets and liabilities of the local branch of the Nederlandsche Indische Handelsbanks. In 1949, when the Central Bank of the Philippines started its operations, the banking system consisted of seven commercial banks, three thrift banks, the sole government specialized bank, the Agricultural and Industrial Bank, and seven foreign bank branches. In the next two installments of this series, we will discuss the financial innovations that were introduced in the Philippines (divided into three main episodes): * Banking innovations prior to the 1990s. * Institutional changes in the 1990s: classified into foreign exchange liberalization, financial liberalization, and the passage of the General Banking Law of 2000.

* After the year 2000: The emergence of nontraditional banking products and services. ----You may e-mail us at totingbunye2000@gmail. com. Past articles may be viewed at http://speakingout.ph/speakingout.php.

Waterbird species - their number and common names - were also documented, as follows: chestnut manikkin (maya), 40; Philippine glossy starling (kulansiyang), 40; common egret, 25; olivebacked sunbird (tamsi), 25, black-naped oriol (antolihaw), 15, and black-spotted dove (tukmo), 5. Exequiel Barillo, protected area superintendent, said the documentation was done using the transect walk method of collecting a detailed data of the different resources present within the BMS site by brisk-walking at around 5:30 a.m., when most of the wildlife are still present in their respective resting places, and ended at 8 a.m. Another was the conduct of the field diary method, wherein the community monitoring group (CMG) observed the same resources that were present in the site but in a more detailed way, and incorporated this in their report of daily routine activities in the protected area. Still another method was the focused group discussion, which was done by the BMS team, together with the CMG of barangays Landing, Misom, Tugas and Sinian, and the patrol guards assigned at the PA, where they presented their daily observations including their assessment on the habitat of the area. Barillo said the photo documentation method, which anchors within the coordinates of N 8038’35”

latitude and E 123038’9.3” longitude, was also done to determine and assess any changes on species composition through time.

LP to merge political parties opposed to his presidential bid in 2010. One could not see logic of such merger. The idea that the merger would make the administration LP stronger is farcical. Maybe, LP, NPC, and NP senatorial bets see the advantage of the merger in the national level. However, in the local level, such merger is ridiculous! A given example is the case of Gov. Oscar Moreno of Misamis Oriental. Moreno was the Chairman of former Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s LakasNUCD political party in the 2010 elections. Of course, Moreno’s opponents were the local LP candidates in the province and Cagayan de Oro City. Bringing Moreno and the original LP leaders together under the same political roof in the local level is preposterous. Like it or not, a political rift between Moreno and local LP leaders would not easily heal. React: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

Sansalain was the 9th suspected drug courier they arrested since they launched on July 4 the “war against illegal drugs”. So far, he was the “biggest” of those they apprehended, Cabico added. “We’ve long planned the arrest of this suspect. In fact, last week, we sought search warrant from the court to really get him. It took us sometime because we have yet to study carefully the terrain,” stressed Cabico. Sansalain’s hideout is located in a forested village in this city. Cabico said charges of violation of Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act or Republic Act 9165 and illegal possession of an explosive would be filed against the suspect today. The arrest of Sansalain was spearheaded by operatives of the Kidapawan City PNP, led by Cabico, and the elements of the Cotabato Public Safety Company of the Cotabato Provincial Police Office as “blocking forces.

Pinoy boxer breaks country’s losing streak, defeats Italian in London Olympics 2012 ight Flyweight Filipino LBarriga boxer Mark Anthony breaks the losing streak of our Philippine team to the London Olympics 2012. This came in dominating fashion when Barriga’s speed and counterpunching, despite his height disadvantage over Italian Manuel Cappai in the first round of the boxing competitions Tuesday, July 31. Outpointing Cappai, the 19-year-old Barriga landed left straights and combination as well as counterpunching all throughout the fight to score 17-7 over the taller Italian. Barriga knocks down Cappai in the first round and stings the Italian with a powerful left to the face that the referee gave Cappai a standing eight count later on. The first round ended

with Barriga having a commanding lead at 5-2. Barriga continues the barrage of punches on Cappai in the second round, forcing the Italian to punch wildly as he moved from side to side, dancing to evade the wild swings. The right-handed Italian tried to confuse the Filipino southpaw by mimicking his stance, this was to no avail though as Cappai continued to absorb punishment from Barriga, who finished the round with a 9-4 lead. Barriga, is dubbed by his fans and fellow boxers as Little Pacman because his fighting style resembles that of Manny Pacquiao. Barriga now remains the lone hope of the Philippines to get that elusive Olympic gold medal.
