End killings of activists, rights groups tell Pnoy By RONALYN V. OLEA of Bulatlat.com

A GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY NETWORK has joined the local human rights group Karapatan in urging the Aquino administration to end extrajudicial killings. In a statement, CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation and Karapatan called on the government to carry out fair and independent investigations into all cases of extrajudicial killings and disappearances. Since President Benigno Aquino III assumed office, Karapatan documented 99 victims of extrajudicial killings and 11 cases of enforced disappearances. Majority of the victims are farmers, indigenous peoples and activists advocating for land rights and

environmental protection. The group also reported that at least 385 political prisoners continue to languish in prisons as “a result of exercising the key civil society freedoms – freedom of expression, association and assembly.” “The rate at which human rights defenders are being killed in the Philippines is shocking,” says Mandeep Tiwana, policy and advocacy Manager at CIVICUS. “If the government is serious about its stated commitment to end rights violations, GROUPS/PAGE 11

CIDT appeals dismissal of case against Datu Tagleong son-in-law By PAT SAMONTE Regional editor-Caraga

BUTUAN City––The Criminal Investigation and Detection Team-Agusan del Norte has assailed the dismissal of the Illegal Possession of Firearms and Ammunition case it filed against Pedro Francisco Hernandez and sought its re-examination. Hernandez, of the Kank-

aney tribe of Mountain Province, is married to the late Datu Tagleong’s daughter, Bae Merlyn Tagleong Coguit, who is now the most powerful female Manobo chieftain in Agusan del Sur. In an Urgent Motion for Reconsideration submitted to the Office of the City Prosecutor here, the CIDT-Agusan del Norte represented by Police Senior

Insp. Norman Ala, said respondent Hernandez was given a favorable decision “on a silver platter” and that the dismissal order should be reviewed and overturned “for being contrary to law, rules and jurisprudence.” First Assistant Prosecutor Aljay Go wrote the resolution dated June 25, 2012 dismissing the case “for lack of probable cause” and ap-

proved by City Prosecutor Felixberto L. Guiritan. The case was filed before the city prosecutor’s office following the April 1, 2012 search on a house at CS Compound, Bacolod Street, Upper Doongan here on the strength of a search warrant issued by Butuan City Regional Trial Court Branch 2 Judge Emmanuel APPEALS/PAGE 11

Raid at mayor’s house yields cache of firearms By BEN D. ARCHE, Regional editor-Davao

DIGOS City––Operatives from the Regional Police Office and the Davao del Sur Provincial Police Office (DSPPO) swooped down the house of Mayor Jimmy Joyce of Jose Abad Santos town in the Second District of Davao del Sur Thursday afternoon. Recovered during the raid were two M16 Armalite rifles, two M16 Baby Armalite rifl es, one Ingram assault rifle, one 9mm pistol, one rifle grenade, one Colt MK .45 pistol and assorted ammunitions and magazines. Th e raiding team also recovered one AK47 assault rifle, one Tavor assault rifle, one M16 Bushmaster rifle, one cal. 40 pistol, scope and rifle, and assorted ammunitions and magazines in the bedroom of Mayor Joyce. Police Superintendent Leonardo Felonia of Region 11 Intelligence Unit,

Chief Inspector Michael John Mangahis of Region 11 Police Special Action Force, and Police Superintendent Quirubin Manalang led the group of the raiding authorities. The raid came following the search warrant issued on July 25 by Executive Judge Marino Dela Cruz Jr. of the National Capital Region RTC Branch 22 in Manila for violation of Republic Act 8294. Arrested were Mayor Joyce, Ronnie Pandamon, Hernan Miguel, Flor Arquillano, boroy Tilo and two members of Civil Secutity Unit (CSU) identified as Arnel Dionesio and Victorino Venancio. The suspects and the recovered firearms are now under the custody of the Davao del Sur Police Office. Last week, Davao del Sur Governor Douglas Ra. Cagas urged the police and

the military to dismantle private armed groups in the province. Cagas believed that these groups were backed up by politicians in preparations for the coming elections in 2013. DSPPO chief Superintendent Ronaldo Llanera and Army’s 39 Infantry Battalion (IB) commander Lt. Col. Norman Zuniega vowed to heed the call of Cagas to avert the proliferation of loose firearms in the province. In 2010 elections, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) placed Davao del Sur under its control following a bloody gunfight between the security forces of contending politicians. Cagas is eyeing to bring this issue to Malacañang, as he cited the order of President Aquino earlier to disband the private armed security groups of politicians.

MESSAGE Assalamu alaikom warahmatullahi wabarakatuho. It is with peace that I greet the entire Muslim ummah for a blessed month of Ramadhan. This month celebrates-the role of peace in the lives of the Bangsamoro people. This reminds us of the significance of fasting and sincerity in our deed. Prophet Muhammad (prayers and peace be upon him) said, “Whoever does not give up deceptive speech and action, Allah (s.w.t) is in no need of his giving up of foods and drinks.” Muhammad bin Idris Ash- Shafi’l (may Allah’s mercy be upon him said, “Faith is action for Allah, and speech is part of that action.” (Al-Bayhaqi). The provincial government officials are one with you in contemplating the importance of serenity in the fulfilment of our spiritual obligation. Wassalam.

Terrorized tribal folks in M’balay head back home MALAYBALAY City––The 35-family Matigsalog folk who fled their terrorized barangay Dao in San Fernando, Bukidnon had returned home Wednesday aboard trucks provided by government. The Lumads came down from the mountains five months ago and encamped since then in front of the capitol building for fear of their lives from armed groups terrorizing their village. The tribe evacuated after the killing of Dao punong

barangay, Jimmy Liguyon, some five months earlier by suspect Butsoy Salusad, also a native and said to head a brigand armed group in the area. Liguyon reportedly refused repeated small-scale miners to operate in their farming village for its destructive effects to their farms. The court has issued a warrant of arrest against Butsoy who remained scotfree. The lumads of the Matigsalog tribe feared that unless Butsoy and his

armed would are neutralize, more killing would take place in their villages which prompted them to evacuate to Malaybalay proper. Local government authorities pledge that law enforcers would hunt down Butsoy and his armed group should anything happened once they ‘lumads’ returned to their farming village in Dao. About 10 village chiefs from neighboring villages also came down to Malaybalay to assure the lumads HOME/PAGE 11

Grenade exploded at Catholic Church in Sulu ZAMBOANGA City––An unidentified suspect lobbed a fragmentation grenade that exploded on the rooftop of a Catholic Church in the island province of Sulu, a military official disclosed Thursday. There was no injury or casualty in the grenade throwing incident that took place early Wednesday evening, Lt. Col. Randolph Cabangbang,

spokesperson of the army’s Western Mindanao Command said. Initial investigation showed that an unknown suspect tossed the grenade on the roof of the Mount Carmel Cathedral Church located along General Arolas Street in Jolo, Sulu past 6:00 in the evening Wednesday. Recovered from the explo-

sion site were the grenade’s safety lever and several pieces of shrapnel, Cabangbang said. Authorities had tightened security measures at the church’s premises. He said no group or individual has claimed responsibility over the grenade attack. The police now conduct a thorough investigation of the incident.

MinBizCon highlights transparency in governance By ROBERT E. ROPEROS

BUTUAN City––The 21st Mindanao Business Conference (MinBizCon) highlights the promotion of transparency in governance, according to City Councilor Ryan Anthony Culima, who chairs the Committee on Trade and

Industry of the City Council. Now on its second day here in the city, “the event does not only help in boosting the economic condition of the city, but also in promoting transparency in governance, among local chief executives in Mindanao,” he said.

Councilor Culima then called on local officials to practice transparency in implementing infrastructures projects, based on procedures set by the Commission on Audit (COA), even as he pointed out that such is the flagship program of the city government, under

the stewardship of Mayor Amante. The MinBizCon, the official business conference of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) for the Mindanao area, is being attended by senior business leaders, members of chambers of

commerce, government policymakers, investors and foreign trading partners. It serves as venue for the participants to network and exchange ideas on enhancing the business climate and strengthening competitiveness, in addition to marketing products, services and

investment destinations. Since 1991, the MinBizCon was hosted by local chambers of commerce of Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Surigao, Butuan, Cotabato, Dipolog, Koronadal, Zamboanga, General Santos and Pagadian. (RER/PIA 13-Caraga/asf)

82% companies in Greenpeace urges fishers to CenMin comply with practice sustainable practices new wage order By NIRVANA ALPHA VITA G. FRUYLAN

By DANILO E. DOGUILES

GENERAL Santos City––Greenpeace Southeast Asia, along with two foreign fishing experts, visited this Tuna Capital of the Philippines to campaign for sustainable fishing practices. Specifically, Greenpeace is advocating for the pole and line method of catching tuna to address its declining population in Philippine seas. “We are running out of fish and time. For a country known for marine biodiversity, there are very few fish left to catch,” said Oceans Campaigner Vince Cinches of Greenpeace Southeast Asia. Mr. Cinches cited the importation of fish from other Asian countries as a “clear sign that our seas have now collapsed and the local fishing industry, particularly the livelihoods of small scale fishermen, at risk.” To prevent what he described as an imminent fish shortage, Greenpeace met with officials of the FISHERS/PAGE 11

KORONA DA L C it y – – Compliance to Wage Order No. RBXII - 17 of the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB-12) has reached 82 percent, said RTWPB-12 Board Secretary Jessie dela Cruz.

MESSAGE I and my family join the Bangsamoro and the people of the municipality of Lugus, Sulu and the rest of the Muslim Ummah in welcoming the Holy Month of Ramadan. It comes at time when the path to peace is demanding from us the ability to understand and accept our diversity as people while celebrating the gift from our humanity. Ramadan is time of prayer and reflection for Muslims. It’s time to reflect on the wisdom and guidance that for many people comes with faith and devotion of the Muslim Filipinos to perform the essential requisites of Islam, such as the holy fasting, is an inspiring deed that attests to their reverence for the Almighty. Apart from being a personal quest of faith, “Ramadan serves as a representation of peace, as Muslims around the world embody the spirit of solidarity in this moment of glorification.” We are blessed to have this Holy Month as a timer for reflection on the values that support and uphold the message of peace and unity. We will join you through prayers that sustain our faith, and in affirmation of the belief that everything good will be possible through the mercy and blessings of Allah. Ramadan al Mubarak!

The backstage art of dirty politics LOCAL political parties are now realigning forces to form formidable tickets in preparation for the 2013 mid-term election next year. As usual, the local political front is free for all. This means, that while being aligned with national political parties (administration party or not) its bearing in the local front is insignificant. In other words, local political tickets are, actually, the driving force of national candidates. This is in contrast to the Cris Diaz idea that national political parties dictate and create stronger political bets in the local front. In some sense, aligning with national political parties creates an impression of a powerhouse ticket in the local political arena. However, such impression is superficial. The significant of aligning with national political parties boils down only with perceived privileges. Among these privileges are allowing local party ticket to hire and deploy watchers in polling places and getting copies of election returns. Still, many believed that an alliance with the administration’s political party in the national level creates an advantage. The usual notion is that the administration would provide election money for its local counterparts. This contention is farthest from the truth. The advantage really is that local political parties identified with the administration could ask deployment of the armed forces to serve their political interest. In many instances, military and police commanders in areas perceived to be sympathetic to local oppositions are relieved of post before elections. Assigned military and police officers are under instruction to serve as protectors of administration’s political allies. Although this allegation is hard to prove, the perception is common anywhere in the country. It is part of power play, so to speak. As usual, those who enjoy the blessings of the powerthat-be exercise the grandeur of bullying political oppositions in any form - in every corner. Traditionally, the filing of charges of imagined and recycled corruptions against those opposing the political status quo pollute graft courts. The motive is obvious because administration candidates believed they could twist the arms of courts to decide in their favor. Definitely, those POLITICS/PAGE 11

RP must help OFWs who sell blood for their daily sustenance STRANDED and unemployed Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in SaudiArabia are forced to sell their blood to hospitals for their dailysustenance, according to lawmakers, prompting Reps. Rufus Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City) and MaximoRodriguez Jr. (Party List, Abante Mindanao) to file House Resolution2542 urging the House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs to conduct an inquiry andinvite all concerned officials of the Department of Labor andEmployment (DOLE), Philippine O vers eas Employment

Editorial Administration(POEA), Migrante Middle East and other agencies and entities to shedlight on the matter. Migrante Middle East, a non-governmental group, said a big number of an estimated 8,000 to 10,000undocumented OFWs in Saudi Arabia are unemployed. T h e s e u n e mp l o y e d OFWs are forced to sell blood tohospitals on a monthly basis just to survive or to raise funds fordaily sustenance and support their families back home.

Saudi Arabia hospitals pay around 300 to 500 SaudiRiyals per 500cc of blood donated. While there is nothing wrong with donating blood, it is quitedifferent where donors are forced to do so in order to earn money andwhen their motive is to get money in exchange for the blood they donated. The issue should be addressed by the government. It is quite unfortunate that our OFWs are placed in a situation wheretheir circumstances force them to resort to donating blood for money. Most of the unemployed

OFWs have left their previous jobs due to abusive employers or because they are not being paid. They are considered as illegal immigrants or TNT (tagongtago) andundocumented because their passports and travel documents are lost orconfiscated by their previous employers. Measures must be enacted to ensure that our OFWs no longer resort toselling blood in order to earn but, more importantly, they areprotected when in a foreign country and have jobs readily available tothem here and abroad. guest editorial

What’s the hardest part of living with me? THINK a minute. Have you ever tried to get two fighting kids to admit their share of the blame? A 40-year-old man told his friends: “I’ve learned that when you ask your wife ‘What’s wrong?’ And she says ‘Nothing.’ Man, watch out! Because her ‘nothing’ means you’re getting blamed for SOMETHING!” Someone said: “Marriage is like a loaf of bread: no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.” Because there’s his story and version of the problem, and then there’s her side of it. A husband and wife were meeting with a marriage counselor. The counselor told them both to ask each other this

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst question: “What’s the hardest part of living with me?” Then, without interrupting or defending themselves, the husband and wife had to listen to each other tell them what was difficult about living with them. So they were both responsible to take their share of the blame for their marriage problems. The husband had to admit that he’d been selfish and immature when he went

to the bar or pub after work instead of coming home to be with his wife and kids. And the wife had to admit she was always nagging and ruining the mood in their home so that her husband and kids didn’t enjoy being around her. You see, it’s only when we admit our share of the blame for our marriage problems that we can begin to do change and improve it. Then we will stop trying to

change our wife or husband, and start working on the only person we can change: ourselves. That’s when our wife or husband might start wanting to change also. But it’s not easy for us to see our own faults and weaknesses, let alone be strong enough to admit we have them. But until we take the responsibility for the problems and unhappiness which we cause in our marriage, very little will change. So why not be honest with yourself? Just ask Jesus Christ to forgive you today for your wrong attitudes and the way you treat your wife or husband? Then ask Him to give you the strength and willpower to start changing each and every day. Just Think a Minute.

Banking history Third of four parts FOR the last two days, we have been examining the history of banking in the Philippines. In this article, we will focus on the development of financial and legal reforms in the country. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ “The General Banking Law Annotated: Book 2” identified the year 1949 as “a turning point in the monetary history of the Philippines” It marked the beginning of the country’s “post-independence monetary history” with the 1948 enactment of the Charter of the Central Bank of the Philippinessetting into motion the operation of the country’s monetary authority. It would also be important to note that the General Banking Act (GBA) became effective on the same day that the Central Bank started its operations

Speaking Out IGNACIO BUNYE on January 3, 1949. For the first time, explicit rules and regulations governing bank organization and operations were laid down. The GBA prescribed rules covering the establishment of domestic banks, the licensing of foreign banks, and the powers of banking institutions, branches and agencies of foreign banks. Another major banking statute, the Rural Banks Act, was enacted in 1952. Two years later, the Agricultural and Industrial Bank merged with the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Fund to form the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).

During this period, the Central Bank was actively engaged in the establishment of development banks. It also provided rural banks with 100% counterpart financing for equity and access to rediscounting facility at highly subsidized terms. Another major piece of legislation enacted under the Philippine Republic was the Law on Secrecy of Bank Deposits, which discouraged private hoarding by encouraging the public to deposit their money in banking institutions. By the 1960s, the ability of banks to mobilize funds via deposit accounts

was constrained primarily by relatively low yields of these instruments. This was because of regulations imposed upon traditional deposit accounts, including the reserve requirement, ceilings on interest rates, and taxes. In response to the growing corporate demand for funds, a small number of non-bank financial institutions started trading shortterm instruments of banks. The banks followed suit by issuing unregulated shortdated instruments such as repurchase agreements, certificates of assignment, certificates of participation, and dealer promissory notes-collectively known as deposit substitutes. It was during this time that the trust fund management services were first offered by commercial banks. Another significant law, which created the BANKING/PAGE 11

BPI bares operating results for Q1 THE Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) reported a net income of P9.4 billion for the first half of the year, 52% higher than the P6.2 billion realized in the same period last year. This translated to a 21% Return on Equity and a 2.3% Return on Assets. Net income for the second quarter was P3.6 billion, 8% higher than a year ago due to the 9.4% increase in net interest income but tempered by the higher tax line. Both non interest income and operating expenses were relatively flat against the same quarter last year. For the fi rst semester, the signifi cant growth in profits was mainly driven by the 24% improvement in revenues. Net interest income rose by 9% while non-interest income surged by 51%. Improvement in net interest income was due to the combined effect of a P32 billion increase in average asset base and a 14 bps improvement in net spreads. Non-interest income was boosted by the extraordinary level of trading gains

in portfolio, asset quality continued to improve with net 30-day NPL ratio at 1.4% from last year’s 1.8%. Reserve cove r was 140.7% Total intermediated funds amounted to P1.46 trillion as the Bank’s total de-

posits stood at P734 billion with growth coming largely from low cost deposits. Assets under management was P730 billion, a 15% growth from last year. BPI’s market capitalization was P265 billion at end of June and remains the largest among domestic banks. Its Basel 2 Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) was 14.5%. Mr. Gil A. Buenaventura, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of BPI commented, “We are happy to see that loan growth has remained resilient though slightly below the first quarter performance. We expect challenges going forward especially on our net interest margin with the recent cut in the BSP overnight borrowing rate. We will however try to seize opportunities given the continued domestic economic growth, notwithstanding the impact of the Eurozone slowdown. At this point in time, we are on track with our target of delivering a sustainable 15% return on equity.”

realized in the first quarter of the year as the Bank sold down its securities inventory. O p e r at i n g e x p e n s e growth slowed down to 9% with increases registered across all categories of expenses. Impairment loss

and income taxes remained to be ahead of the previous year by P438 million and P159 million, respectively. Loan growth from all segments was sustained as net loan portfolio reached P480 billion, 17% higher

than a year ago. Both the middle market and SME segments contributed a 19% growth while the top corporate segment went up by 15%. Consumer lending increased by 17%. Despite the double-digit growth

DOST backs creation of ‘Itso’ in Davao ENTREPRENEURS, businessmen, and inventors spend large amount of money for research and development. Spending large amount on a new technology can be risky if that technology is expensive to develop and is very easy to copy. Hence, there is a need to protect your processes, technologies, and products. But how can you be protected? Patents are a great way to do that. Patents are a boost to small businesses as they give time-limited monopoly on an idea. The Depar tment of Science and Technology (DOST) finds this important for the local small and

medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region. On March 11, 2012, DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo and IPO Philippines Director-General Ricardo R. Blancaflor jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish Innovation and Technology Support Offices (ITSOs) in the different parts of the country includ-

rights violations, then it must withdraw the state of impunity that exists for military officials and members of government sponsored militias.” The group said that even as Aquino has promised to resolve cases of extrajudicial executions and other violations of human rights, “genuine reform to ensure the protection of civil society members continues to be lacking.” They noted that the Aquino administration continues to implement Executive Order 546, which allows the use of paramilitary forces and private militias for its counterinsurgency program Oplan Bayanihan. The groups expressed alarm over the killing of two prominent civil society activists and the detention of an advocate for indigenous peoples’ rights. On July 3, Willem Geertman, executive director of CSO Alay Bayan-Luzon Inc., a citizen’s disaster response group in Central Luzon, was murdered in his office compound. Days earlier, on June 30, Romualdo Palispis, chair of the human rights organization Justice and Peace Action Group in Aurora, was gunned down in front of his home. The groups noted that both men were leaders in the campaign against corporate mining and logging and were actively engaged in mobilizing opposition to the development of Aurora Province as a designated economic zone. On July 4, Agnes Mesina, a volunteer for the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines-Cagayan, was arrested during a meeting with a congressman. She is actively involved in campaigns against large-scale mining. In its second quarter report, Karapatan also documented 60 victims of frustrated killings, 67 victims of torture, 93 victims of physical assault and injury perpetrated by suspected state security forces. Almost 30,000 forcibly evacuated from their homes

due to intense military operations. Karapatan also reported that in several villages, the military uses schools, religious and other public places as detachments. CIVICUS and Karapatan urged the Philippines government to uphold its commitments under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by ensuring a thorough and independent investigation and fair prosecution of cases of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances; enacting legislation criminalizing involuntary disappearances as a distinct crime and ratifying the UN Convention for the Protection of All Persons against Enforced Disappearance; and issuing executive orders to security forces and government sponsored militia groups to allow safe exercise of the freedoms of association, expression and assembly by citizens. The Philippine government has neither ratified the UN Convention for the Protection of All Persons against Enforced Disappearance nor passed the pending legislation in Congress seeking to criminalize enforced disappearances.

Escatron. The team recovered eight firearms and hundreds of ammunition. In the resolution, Go said he “honestly believes has the issuing court not been misled by some wrong information in the application for search warrant, it could not have issued the search warrant against respondent but to some other persons who may possibly appear to be responsible therefor.” In dismissing the charge against Hernandez, Go held “The object or purpose of a preliminary investigation, or a previous inquiry of some kind, before an accused person is placed on trial is to secure the innocent against hasty, malicious, and oppressive prosecution and to protect him from an open and public accusation of a crime, from the trouble, expense and anxiety of a public trial, and also to protect the state from useless

and expensive trials.” According to the complainant, the search warrant clothed the CIDT with authority to search and whatever evidence was confiscated “is deemed admissible unless the warrant itself is recalled or withdrawn by the issuing judge through a process initiated by the respondent himself.” Ala said it did not happen here. Instead, Hernandez was given a favorable decision “on a silver platter without exerting much effort to cause the nullification of a validly presumed search warrant.” He proceeded to ask if the City Prosecutor’s Office is empowered by law and the Rules to directly attack, nullify and disregard the validity of a search warrant issued by a competent magistrate when its main job is to determine whether based on evidence there is probable cause to indict Hernandez for the offense charged. He said the principle of judicial controversy, the issue of illegality or irregularity, if any, of the search warrant issued by Judge Escatron should have been settled in court that issued it, in due deference to the principle of judicial courtesy, and not before the Office of the City Prosecutor in a summary proceeding without giving the complainant the opportunity to respond. The resolution was made obviously avoiding the required judicial proceeding in questioning it and summarily defied a lawful order by annulling it without complying with the proper procedure under the rules, he said. He described the prosecutor’s dismissal of the charge as “an apparent miscarriage of justice, a mockery of the law and a biggest block for the police to enforce the law” against illegal firearms and private armed groups. Ala also argued that the resolution adopted as “gospel truth” allegations by respondent Hernandez that the operation conducted by the police unit was illegal and irregular despite “overwhelming evidence”

that the house subject of the search warrant was a security office of Datu Tagleong Security Agency, the lease contract between the lessor and lessee, the affidavit of land owner attesting to such agency in his rented building and contract of security services which could be prepared after the raid and secured easily, and were given more premium and weight, than the affidavit of barangay officials such as Barangay Chairman Eddie Baltazar and two barangay councilmen who testified that no such security agency operated in their barangay and witnesses who based their statement presumably on their personal knowledge of their locality. Lawyer John Gil S. Unay is representing the complainant in this case.

Bank imposed prudential measures. Within this decade, banks widened their market by extending trust business services to corporations and individuals with high net worth. The system, however, had relatively limited access in attracting investors to channel their excess funds to foreign currency deposit units due to strict foreign exchange regulations. In 1971, the Joint International Monetary FundCentral Bank of the Philippines Banking Survey Commission was created. The Commission studied the banking system and proposed several measures that resulted in the promulgation of Presidential Decree Nos. 71 (amending the General Banking Act) and 72 (amending the Central Bank Act). In the 1980s, the Central Bank issued rules creating investment management accounts that did not qualify as trust accounts. The new regulation encouraged the trust department to introduce a new financial product called the common trust fund. It was in this decade that universal banking was introduced in the country. This system was adopted by the Central Bank upon the recommendation of the World Bank-to enable certain banks to invest in allied and non-allied undertakings while engaging in commercial banking functions. A significant circular issued by the Central Bank in the 1980s was Circular No. 905 (issued in 1983), which lifted the interest rate ceilings imposed by the Usury Law.

who enjoy the imprimatur of higher ups are political leeches who name drop connections and linkages in the government hierarchy. Given this proposition, one could discern the parallelism of national and local politics when the election season unfolds. Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City are not exempt from these characteristics. Local political suckers and wannabes, backed by the incumbent administration, have been into browbeating politics. Overzealous politicians, who want the media to project them clean all the time, do not spare even the press. These immature politicians are scheming divide and rule tactics among members of the press, too. Deny it or not, that is how dirty politics in the Philippines is. The ‘padreno’ and ‘bata-bata’ systems are deeply rooted in the political values of the Filipino people.

Each family of the returning Matigsalogs was given P10,000 for fertilizers and other farm inputs, an additional cash of P5,000 for miscellaneous expenses, a sack of rice and canned goods. Provincial governor Alex Calingasan of Bukidnon also promised to rehabilitate their farm lots and extend livelihood projects to villagers. Bukidnon Police Provincial Director Supt.

Kia â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Quorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flagship sedan promises premium driving convenience, innovative safety technologies Â&#x2021; 1HZ UHDU ZKHHO GULYH IODJ VKLS WR EH QDPHG Âś4XRULVÂˇ IRU H[SRUW PDUNHWV Â&#x2021; ,QQRYDWLYH GULYLQJ DVVLVWDQFH DQG DFWLYH VDIHW\ WHFKQRORJLHV Â&#x2021; 6DIHW\ V\VWHPV XWLOL]H UDGDU FDPHUDV DQG KDSWLF WHFKQRORJ\ SEOULâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s striking, rear-wheel drive, all-new flagship sedan will be called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Quorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when it goes on sale in overseas markets from the fourth quarter of 2012. The new luxury model (known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;K9â&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the domestic market) went on sale in Korea in early May, and features a host of high-tech comfort and safety features, many of them never seen before on a Kia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derived from the English words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;qualityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the name of our new flagship sedan hints at the attributes at the very heart of the vehicle,â&#x20AC;? commented Thomas Oh, Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Vice President & COO of the International Business Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Quorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conveys solidity, luxury and high-technology, all resonating together as a chorus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our decision to give this striking new sedan an unconventional name means it will stand out even further from the established crowd, driving Kia sales in what is a new segment of the global automotive market for Kia,â&#x20AC;? adds Mr. Oh. Innovative â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;activeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety technologies The Kia Quoris will feature an array of high-tech driving assistance and active safety features. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quoris adopts a number of intelligent safety technologies never before

seen on a Kia, in order to deliver maximum driver comfort and safety,â&#x20AC;? comments Chang-Ki Kang, Senior Vice President of Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Namyang R&D Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Quoris can cruise at a desired speed, maintain a pre-determined â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distance from the vehicle in front, and even come to a complete stop if necessary. Quoris can also detect and warn the driver of approaching potential hazards using innovative audio, visual and haptic alerts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our new flagship sedan possesses remarkable abilities to monitor and detect changing traffic conditions, and is constantly processing information, immediately deciding the right course of action and precisely executing vehicle movement controls as necessary,â&#x20AC;? concludes Kang. Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC) The Quoris employs Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first radar-based Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC). Located in the right side of the front bumper, the radar system constantly monitors the road ahead, up to a range of 174 meters. With ASCC activated, the Quoris monitors traffic conditions and speed in order to maintain a predetermined safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The driver can easily adjust this

CERATO COMPACT SEDAN

The all-new version of Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global best-selling model, the Cerato compact sedan (also known as Forte in some countries), is scheduled to go on sale during the first quarter of 2013 at Kia dealerships in many overseas markets. Longer, lower and wider than the current car, with an extended wheelbase, the next generation Cerato will be manufactured with an all-new bodyshell structure.

distance by choosing from four options (52, 40, 32 or 25 meters at a speed of 90 km/h) using a button on the steering wheel. The Quoris will also automatically come to a complete stop, if necessary. When the stop is less than three seconds and traffic ahead moves off, the Quoris automatically moves forward, resuming the journey. For a stop longer than three seconds, the driver has to manually restart the vehicle by pressing the accelerator or pushing the resume button. Advanced Vehicle Safety Management (AVSM) The ASCC is linked to the rest of the vehicle controls by the Quorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advanced Vehicle Safety Management (AVSM). Integrating the control of various vehicle monitoring systems, including the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), seatbelt mechanisms and multiple warning systems, the AVSM can alert the driver, pre-pressurize the braking system and activate the Pre-Safe Belt (PSB) system, depending on the anticipated level of a collision risk. Detecting a risk of a

collision, AVSM warns the driver in three stages via a loud audible alarm, a visual warning on both the Head Up Display (HUD) and TFT LCD cluster and a haptic signal on the seatbelt. Stage 1. At a low level of collision risk, a visual warning appears on the LCD cluster and HUD. Stage 2. At a higher level of collision risk, in addition to the visual warning, an audio warning signal is sent out and the haptic seatbelt is activated via an electric motor, sending strong vibrations through the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seatbelt. Stage 3. When a collision is imminent, the AVSM automatically applies the brakes to reduce the impact speed. The electric motor and pre-tensioners of the PSB system are also activated to retract the seatbelt and hold occupants closer to their seats, ensuring maximum occupant protection and minimizing abrasions caused by contact with the airbags. Class-leading Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assistance The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system for Quoris

Featuring futuristic and dynamic styling, the all-new Cerato features a sleeker profile, LED front and rear lamps and a chrome-finished beltline.

KIA RACING

The birthplace of U.S. auto racing, Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), is the site for Round Eight of the 2012 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC). Kia Racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Infinity Audio Forte Koups take to the Brickyard for the first time, and Kia Motors becomes the first Korean automaker to take the green flag at the legendary 103-year-old racetrack. Co-pilots of the No. 10 Infinity Audio Forte Koup, Nic JĂśnsson and Andy Lally, look to bounce back after a challenging race at Watkins Glen in Round Seven and regain the points lead in the Street Tuner (ST) class.

KIA MOTORS AMERICA

Kia Motors America (KMA) is the fastest-growing car company in the U.S. and two of its best-selling vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Optima and Soul â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were awarded the highest ranking scores in their respective segments within the J.D. Power

features two radar scanners located in each of the outer corners of the rear bumper. Each is capable of detecting objects up to 70 meters away from the rear, and four meters from each side. Activated at vehicle speeds above 30 kph, BSD gives the driver a warning when a vehicle comes into the blind spot zone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an area approximately four meters wide along each side of the Quoris and extending more than six meters from the rear bumper. Compared with sonicbased BSD systems, Quorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; radar-based BSD gives a longer detection range, which is also exploited by the Lane Change Assistance (LCA) system. LCA alerts the driver to vehicles approaching from the rear at high speeds from up to 70 meters away. If the system also considers the speed of approach to be a potential hazard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically if it calculates that a collision would occur within 4.5 seconds if no avoiding action is taken â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it will illuminate a warning triangle graphic in the left or right door mirror glass

and activate a warning signal on the HUD. If the driver does not react to this visual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;alertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an audible warning is also sounded. Both the BSD and LCA systems can be deactivated by the driver, if required. Lane Departure Warning System While radars boast a superior ability to detect objects at long distances, cameras are used in Quoris to recognize the shape of closer objects such as lane markings. A forward-facing video camera is at the heart of the new sedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). It monitors the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in relation to lane markings and triggers a warning in case of unintended lane departures at speeds above 60 kph. Around View Monitor system Four cameras on each side of Quoris are used to create its class-leading Around View Monitor (AVM) system, which provides maximum convenience and safety during parking and low-speed maneuvering. Unlike the majority of competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; AVM systems with a field-of-view of less than a 270-degrees, the Quorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; system offers a true 360-degree all-around view in eight different viewing modes, displayed on the Audio Video Navigation (AVN) monitor. Continuously synthesizing images from four cameras, the AVM provides a virtual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;topâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; view in motion, so the driver can easily have a full grasp of all his or her surroundings, maximizing safety for the car occupants as well as pedestrians. The AVM system automatically deactivates at speeds above 20 km/h.

The Optima ranked highest in a tie in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midsize Carâ&#x20AC;? category, while the Soul claimed the highest ranking in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV)â&#x20AC;? grouping. The APEAL study measures new-vehicle buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gratification with the design, content, layout and performance of their newly-purchased vehicles.

Kia Motors will introduce the next generation Cerato compact sedan later this year in its home market of Korea under a new name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;K3â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (domestic market only). Also known as Forte in some countries, the Cerato was Kiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global best-seller in 2011 with more than 445,000 units delivered.
