CA to Bangko Sentral: reopen Banco Filipino

By PERFECTO T. RAYMUNDO JR of PNA

THE Court of Appeals (CA) has directed the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to reopen Banco Filipino (BF) and ordered the implementation of the P25-billion financial assistance as contained in the business plan previously approved by the BSP and the Monetary Board (MB).

In a 50-page ruling, the CA through Associate Justice Agnes ReyesCarpio, said: “The BSP and the Monetary Board are hereby ordered to reopen Banco Filipino Savings and Mortgage Bank and allow it to resume business in the Philippines under the comptrollership of the BSP and the MB, complete with a viable rehabilitation plan, in order to ensure fast and

immediate recovery of the bank from the ill-defects of the illegal closure.”

The CA gave the BSP 30 days to extend financial support to Banco Filipino based on the indicated business plan approved by the BSP and MB. In its November 18, 2010 order, the Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC) granted Banco Filipino’s REOPEN/PAGE 11

Court junks RMN’s plea deferment of libel case DAVAO City––The Regional Trial Court (RTC) here has junked the bid of two executives of Radio Mindanao Network (RMN) for a deferment of the proceedings and urged the court to re-evaluate the evidence against them.

In a two-page order dated Jan. 3, Judge Ridgeway Tanjili of Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 12 junked the motion filed by RMN vice-president for AM operations Carlos Canoy, and then RMN Davao assistant manager Alejandro Gesta asking the court to determine if there was sufficient evidence to warrant their arrest for the case of libel filed by its former

RMN Davao manager Mario Maximo “Dodong” Solis.

Solis was earlier declared “illegally dismissed” by the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) Regional Arbitration Office XI after the RMN management terminated his services in 2009 for alleged “loss of trust and confidence”.

The decision was later overturned by the NLRC in Cagayan de Oro City, the

hometown of Canoy family but the verdict is pending appeal before the Court of Appeals.

But aside from the termination, Canoy and Gesta allegedly caused the publication on a newspaper of a paid ad justifying Solis termination as well as caused the airing over dxDC of a 3-minute canned material translation of the newspaper advertisement. The radio material was aired once every hour for almost a month.

Solis claimed that the paid ad and the radio material had maligned his reputa- A child-grenade explosion victim in Sitio Silahis, Barangay Sampaguita, Kibawe, tion as the contents therein Bukidnon nursing wounds at the provincial hospital in Bukidnon being interviewed CASE/PAGE 11 by an army personnel.

Environmentalist to visit SMRI in Tubay

By MANUEL M. EGAY JR. of Caraga News Bureau

BUTUAN City––An environment advocate is set to visit a nickel and cobalt project facility in the municipality of Tubay in Agusan del Norte to observe its operation and how the company ensures protection on the environment and responsible mining practice.

Ms. Gina Lopez, an environmental advocate and the managing director of ABS CBN Foundation, is scheduled to visit the area upon the invitation of SR Metals, Inc. this Friday.

Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Director Leo Naza-

reno will accompany Ms. Lopez on the site.

According to SRMI, Ms. Lopez will be observing the measures and technology introduced in making sure the environment is protected in the area particularly the community where mining is GINA LOPEZ

situated.

SRMI also added that an assurance will be given to Ms. Lopez on the transparency of its operation and immediately address any concerns or gaps from her observation. It also welcome any concerns coming from the local community.

Presently, SRMI is also developing the relocation and housing for the community affected by the mining operation.

SR Metals currently operates with a large scale mining permit (MPSA) covering an area of approximately 572 hectares in the municipality. The Tubay mine

contains nickel deposits of at least 20 million tons of validated ore reserves.

Through SRMI’s Mine Environmental Protection and Enhancement Office (MEPEO), it puts more emphasis on the environmental protection some of which are the installation of water lines along major haulage roads on top of the seven water lorries that ply the barangay to mine roads to minimize dust generation. Another was the comprehensive storm water runoff control system to control siltation of surface and coastal waters at a minimum.

Editor: NELSON V. CONSTANTINO , email: nelconstant@gmail.com

The church, the priests, fanaticism and profiteering MY visit to Manaog this weekend took me by surprise with all the commercialism surrounding it.

If the church, I mean the priests don’t agree with all the money making schemes considering it was Jesus who in the bible personally threw out all the thieves, profiteers, money changers and hawkers from inside the temple, why then don’t they do the same.

From my point of view it is the Harry Tambuatco priest who condones it if not promote commercialism by blessing all the purchases of statues, necklaces, nickknacks, etc., after the mass services.

Interestingly enough I watched the same to be similar at the procession of the black Nazerine of Quiapo early January with the white cloth that was to be waived as the religious icon passed by.

While I understand the fanaticism of the Filipinos I can’t seem to comprehend the actions of the priest or is this the church’s doing? Do they condone this fanaticism blessing the actions as they unfold?

As I aligned from my vehicle we were accosted by many selling candles, religious figurines, even knives if not for chopping definitely for hunting to no avail least I scream to please stop.

Of course there was the parking fee that was obviously a requirement at Php 50- (a parking fee for a church visit?).

The hawkers do not understand “NO” and continued to persist as you make your way thru the crowd of more stores all trying to sell their wares. And I thought this was supposedly a sacred pilgrimage characterized with serenity to the shrine of our Lady of Manaoag? Beware! oOo My visit to Pangasinan did not go all that well should I have allowed my temper to rule. I decided to lunch to a popular restaurant in Calastiao; the dagupenea (I know it’s no longer in Dagupan), and what a sad experience.

It was unfortunate the restaurant was full.

Your mind is a terrible thing to waste THINK a minute.

Have you heard this expression, “It’s raining cats and dogs?”

It was started in Europe in the 1500’s when many European houses had thatched roofs made from straw.

At night time the animals would climb up on the roof to stay warm, including cats, dogs, and other small animals. But when it rained hard, the straw became slippery and sometimes the animals slipped and fell off the roof.

So they started the saying, “It’s raining cats and dogs.”

It’s interesting how many of us go through life saying and doing things that often we don’t even know why we do them.

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst Like superstitions which don’t make any sense, yet many of us still believe them.

But as we grow and learn more about life, we slowly begin to understand and change some of our incorrect beliefs and thinking.

We realize that some things we used to think and believe actually are not true, such as superstitions and racial prejudice.

It’s so important that

they will support moves to ‘recall’ Emano from office.

The victims answered in the negative saying the recall initiative is unfair to Emano who had been helping them ever since. ‘Until now (after the calamity), Mayor Emano has always been helping us. We do not support any campaign to remove him (Emano) from office by way of recall election,” a woman-victim said. “The recall will not succeed,” another victim said.

Save Cdo Movement is campaigning to gather 45,000 signatures on or before May this year - a requirement of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to schedule a recall election. Organizers had put up a corner in Plaza Divisoria where recall forms for signature are available.

Organizers have been making announcement in media and in social networking sites on influx of people to Plaza Divisoria to support the recall campaign. A bystander in Plaza Divisoria, however, belied the claim.

“People coming in Plaza Divisoria are organizers, they always come here everyday,” he said.

Another bystander expressed doubt on the credibility of the signatures. “Morag sila-sila ra man na pirma pirma diha,” (It seems they were the same people making signatures), he said.

Perhaps, the reason why some organizers coerced people for signatures under pretext of hearing Sunday masses is the fact that they (organizers) cannot muster signatures support anymore, an observer said.

Whether these observations are right, Senators “Koko” Pimentel III and Chiz Escudero share common perspectives. Thus, the movement’s recall initiative is unpopular, and the campaign for a recall election has no sense of responsibility.

we always keep learning, because our mind is a terrible thing to waste!

Someone said: “You should always keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out!” In other words, we need to use our mind and conscience God gave us to sort through what’s true and what isn’t.

We’re responsible to think and find out the truth for ourselves. That way we

won’t let others rent space in our heads!

As a professor of mine used to say: “If you don’t know for yourself, you’ll get hustled and fooled all your life.”

This is why Jesus Christ came: to explain and show us the true way we were made to enjoy the life He gave us.

He didn’t create us to stumble through life in the dark, not knowing the right way to live a successful life.

So why not ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for your past wrongs? Then ask Him to start showing you His way to true success and satisfaction. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Just Think a Minute.

A futile initiative

SENATOR Chiz Escudero is right when he opined that the Save Cdo Movement is untimely. For that, Escudero got the ire of organizers cum supporters who posted unsavory comments on him in social networks.

Escudero expected the adverse reaction. He understands that the hate campaigns against him were but political sour griping. This is mainly because organizers of ‘Save Cris Diaz Cdo Movement’ were has been politicians while others simply want recognition.

Some organizers also went to the extent of challenging Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III to take decisive moves. The organizers expect “Koko” Pimentel to PROFITEERING/p.10 empathize with ‘Save Cdo Movement’s’ recall initiative against incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano.

What gives? Sen. “Koko” Pimentel III the other day admonished local politicians of leading campaign to remove Mayor Emano through recall election. At least, The MINDANAO DAILY is published by Mindanao Daily Pimentel is aware that Cagayan de Oro is lukewarm Balita at Door 3, Geleng Bldg., Lapasan Highway, Cagayan de with the recall initiative.

the issue will be forgotten somehow in the long run?

If the President and the lawmakers fail to comply with the UN decision, can they be sanctioned by the world body, in one way or another?

-oooUN HUMAN RIGHTS BODY UPHOLDS PLEA OF DAVAO BROADCASTER: I am asking these questions because just this week, the United Nations released a decision issued by its Human Rights Commission involving the case of Davao broadcaster Alex Adonis who complained that libel laws in the Philippines violated its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, because, he said, they were incompatible with the guarantees of press freedom under the covenant.

Kakampi mo ang batas The UN said: “Defamations laws should not ... stifle freedom of expression. … Penal defamation laws should include defense of truth… in comments about public figures, consideration should be given to avoiding penalties or otherwise rendering unlawful untrue statements that have been published in error but without malice. In any event, a public interest in the subject matter of the criticism should be recognized as a defense…”

“State parties should consider decriminalization of libel,” the UN said. Noting that Adonis was imprisoned for two years after having been convicted of libel upon the complaint of then Speaker Prospero Nograles, the UN ordered the Philip-

pines “to provide him with an effective remedy, including adequate compensation for time served in prison, and the State is also under obligation to take steps to prevent similar violations occurring in the future.”

-oooSC REQUIRES FULL DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC ISSUES: Indeed, there is a need to decriminalize libel in the Philippines. In several cases, the Supreme Court recognized the need for a full discussion of public affairs, unfettered by fears of criminal libel cases.

“The interest of society and the maintenance of good government demand a full discussion of public affairs. Complete liberty to comment on the conduct of public men is a scalpel in the case of free speech. The sharp incision of its probe relieves the abscesses of LIBEL/p.10

Measure seeks to promote importance of folic acid in preventing birth defects

REP. RUFUS RODRIGUEZ

REP. MAXIMO RODRIGUEZ

THE House of Representatives has passed on third and final reading a bill that seeks to promote the importance of folic acid in the prevention of birth defects.

House Bill 592, authored by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro), provides for a national folic acid education campaign to raise the level of awareness among women of childbearing age and health professionals on the importance of folic acid at preventing birth defects.

Rodriguez said the campaign will include encouraging women of reproductive capacity to consume daily, enough amount of folic acid, which is a B vitamin found naturally in food such as green leafy vegetables, beans, citrus fruits and juices and in certain multivitamins capsules.

Folic acid could prevent neutral tube defects if all women of childbearing age begin consuming 400 micrograms of it daily, and even before pregnancy, according to Rodriguez.

Aside from the prevention of neutral tube defects, a new study finds that women who take folic acid supplements early in their pregnancy can also substantially reduce their baby’s chances of being born with a cleft lip, cleft palate or both, Rodriguez added.

Rodriguez said thousands of infants each year are born with serious birth defects in the brain and spine, called neutral tube defects. The most common of these is spin bifida, the incomplete closure of the spinal column and anencephaly, a fatal condition in which an infant is born with a severely underdeveloped brain and skull.

Once enacted into law, the measure will ensure that many women would be educated and aware of the opportunity for prevention and begin consuming the recommended daily amount of folic acid that would help avoid the development of defects in their babies, Rodriguez said.

The bill also mandates the Department of Health to carry out the program, directly or through special arrangements with other government agencies and other promotional entities engaged in public information activities to provide education and training for health professionals and the general public, and to explain the effects of folic acid in preventing birth defects.

Co-authors of the bill are Reps. Maximo Rodriguez (Party-list, Abante Mindanao), and Augusto Syjuco (2nd District, Iloilo), Alfredo Maranon (2nd District, Negros Occidental), Ben Evardone (Lone District, Eastern Samar), Marcelino Teodoro (1st District, Marikina City), and Bernadette Herrera-Dy (Party-list, Bagong Henerasyon).

Five Philippine cities cited among Top 100 outsourcing destinations

By Alexander Villafania MANILA – Five cities in the Philippines were cited among the top 100 destinations for information technology and business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) services in a report by technology investment and research firm Tholons.

Tholon’s January 2012 report states that the Southeast Asian region, particularly the Philippines, remains a “dominant figure” in the global outsourcing industry.

Metro Manila is in fourth ranking in the Top 100, followed by Cebu City (9th), Davao City (69th) and Sta. Rosa, Laguna (86th). Iloilo City, meanwhile, is ranked 92nd improved by six notches.

The top three cities are in India, which accounted for 13 locations in the Top 100.

According to the report, voicebased contact support services continue to be a pillar for the outsourcing industry in the Philippines.

It also highlighted on the growth rate of IT-BPO employees for Metro Manila (pegged at 10.6 percent), as well as the establishment of delivery centers for major technology brands such as HP, IBM, Dell, Convergys, and Teleperformance.

The IT-BPO industry in the Philippines generated at least $11 billion in 2011, up by around 20 percent the previous year. Bulk of this is contributed by the contact center industry, which employs at least half a million Filipino workers.

The Tholons report also

forecasts that Southeast Asia would remain strong in 2012, though more growth is expected from areas in in Europe, especially Poland and the Czech Republic Call center operators in the Philippines who serve mostly U.S. clients on Wednesday shrugged off President Barack Obama’s initiative to bring outsourced jobs back home.

The Business Processing Association of the Philippines that groups 250 companies said that outsourcing has allowed U.S. companies to survive the global financial crunch by lowering costs and to expand — thereby creating more jobs for Americans.

The Philippines is the world’s top supplier of call center operators and is second to India in non-voice services such as accounting, engineering and medical billing. The U.S. accounts for 70 percent of the Philippines’ business outsourcing market.

In his State of the Union address, Obama urged American businesses to bring jobs back to the U.S. Last week,

he said he wants to eliminate tax breaks for companies that outsource.

Martin Crisostomo, BPAP spokesman, said outsourcing is inseparable from globalization and a business model that helps companies cut costs.

He said industry members are monitoring developments in the U.S. including proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress to discourage outsourcing jobs, but believes market forces will dictate the industry’s future.

“At the end, it will not be politics but it will be the bottomline,” Crisostomo said.

He pointed out that last quarter employment figures in the U.S. had improved even with outsourcing.

Still, Philippine companies will strengthen efforts to get clients other than Americans.

They include English-speaking countries like Britain, which now accounts for 10 percent of the business process outsourcing industry in the Philippines, and Australia, which accounts for 7 percent of the Philippine call-center market.

Marketing efforts for Phil-

ippine-based companies will also be increased in Western Europe, particularly for nonvoice services like accounting, data encoding, transcription, engineering design, animation and game development.

Martin Conboy, editor of the Australian-based outsourcing news service “The Sauce” and director of FooBoo, an outsourcing company, said that the U.S. government’s offer of incentives against offshoring “completely misses the point” and only masks “an inefficient labor market.”

“If companies can access talented and less expensive labor in somewhere like the Philippines, why would a business pay more for the same thing in their own country?” he said in an email.

The Philippines has an English-speaking work force and employs some 600,000 workers in the business process outsourcing industry.

BPAP chairman Alfredo Ayala has said that the Philippines hopes to raise the number of outsourcing workers to 1.3 million by 2016 and revenues to $25 billion from around $11 billion in 2011.

HOROSCOPE AQUARIUS. With the planetary traffic jam in and around your sign right now you’ll want to think long and hard before you make any decisions. A personal situation may require action on your part but you need to sit down and carefully weigh your options before you proceed. Confusion should clear up soon enough, but in the meantime you’ll want to try to visualize the consequences of your actions.

PISCES. Effective communication is a cornerstone to almost any relationship.

PISCES. Before you take your love partnership to the next level, you’ll want to master this skill. Especially when money is concerned you may want to lay all your cards on the table. Be clear and air any concerns you have now. You don’t want to let money grow into a dark cloud hanging over your relationship.

Get things straight now and you’ll find it much easier to connect.

ARIES. Now is the time to present an idea you’ve formulated for a while.

Cosmic energy seems to support you and allow your proposition to be well received. You’ve worked long and hard to get this venture moving and you should have a chance very soon to see it through. Once off the ground, this project will move at the speed of light so ensure you are prepared to keep up.

TAURUS. Workplace adjustments are highly possible right now. Change is not something that scares you, but this could be a total upheaval and set your career on a completely different path. During this transformation you’ll want to keep your eyes and ears open for a unique, possibly revolutionary opportunity. Don’t dismiss anything as even the most peculiar suggestions could work out to be exactly what you want!

Profiteering From page 5 By this I mean to emphasize full not because they couldn’t handle the service or the food but the crowd.

There was an annoying party of some twenty or so customers who at their senior stages acted without grace.

Can you imagine a restaurant with a capacity of over a hundred people with 20% talking loud in one corner, laughing obnoxiously, screaming on top of their voices as if they were the only customers in the room, and behaving like morons.

It was apparent all the other customers were equally annoyed but the management did nothing and allowed the zoo to persist.

Lesson learned; don’t go

to this restaurant and pay good money to be disrespected by customers who are allowed to act like hyenas in the wild.

My next stop was a crypt within a church in Lingayen only to discover a crypt was relocated (so we thought).

Can this even happen?

Lesson learned; A day can pass with plenty of disappointments but should you allow your temper to take over – only you are the looser! Regardless of what we should expect, regardless of what is due us, regardless of what is correct – things can easily go awry and only you have the option to make or break your day!

Cheers!

Libel From page 5 of officialdom,” the Supreme Court intoned.

Then, the court concluded: “Men in public life may suffer under a hostile and unjust accusation; the wound may be assuaged by the balm of a clear conscience. A public official must not be too thin-skinned with reference to comments upon his official acts.”

GEMINI. You’ll have to use your creativity to attract someone’s attention on a business level. You may have to experiment with different methods and see which ones are most successful. It may help to do some research and find out as much as you can about the individual you desire assistance from. Once you know their preferences, values or interests, you can appeal to them on common ground and move forward easily.

CANCER. Transport yourself back to the old days of dating and try acquainting yourself with a potential lover on a friendship level first. The fast pace of life spills over to our personal relationships too and can cause us to jump in head first instead of testing the water initially. Try to slow your emotions down and visit each stage of courting. You could be in for an extremely pleasant surprise.

LEO . You may find yourself laying out more cash than you’d hoped, but LEO. don’t worry, it will be well worth it. Sometimes it’s really necessary to spend money in order to make it and this is one of those times. The return on your initial investment though seems to be promising. Observe those who seem to have a knack for earning and learn their secrets. Model your practices after theirs and you could be on your way to increased earning!

VIRGO. It may feel like you’re so busy you can’t even find time for yourself let alone anyone else. You’ll have to find a way to manage your responsibilities at work with your social and family life. Make a plan to deal with what you must first, then divvy up the remainder of your time between friends and family. You could consider scheduling social time in your calendar to ensure you don’t leave anyone out.

LIBRA. Your home is calling your name right now. The timing is right to redecorate or renovate your home environment and turn it into a private retreat. Your residence should reflect who you are and represent as well as compliment your personality. Surround yourself with beauty and you’ll find the effect on your mood is extraordinary. When you enjoy your home you can easily fill it with those you love most.

SCORPIO. If the plans you’ve laid for your career have seemingly crumbled, don’t panic; it may suppose to be this way. Sometimes we can’t understand why something happened immediately but after some time can see the reason more clearly. You’ll need to put your trust in the universe and believe things will work out the way you want them to. Keep yourself busy for the time being and you’ll see progress in no time.

SAGITTARIUS. You may get the chance to play superhero at work this week. Your problem solving skills are second to none and those around you are well aware of this.

It’s time to illustrate how effective a leader you are.

plication for a writ of preliminary mandatory and preventive injunction and directed the BSP and MB to immediately implement the bank’s business plan by releasing its P25-billion financial-assistance package and other regulatory relief without delay.

However, the CA said that the injunction was issued with grave abuse of discretion considering that it was issued in violation of law and public policy.

It noted that the impropriety of issuing a temporary restraining order (TRO) against BSP and the MB in the exercise of regulatory procedure had been settled by the Supreme Court (SC) in BSP v. Antonio-Valenzuela, where it said that the issuance by the RTC of writs of preliminary injunction was an unwarranted interference with the powers of MB. On the other hand, in its recent decision, the CA reversed its last year’s ruling and told the BSP to consider the current landscape since the business plan was drafted in 2009 for necessary “augmentations and adjustments.”

Likewise, the CA also directed that a special liquidity facility fund must be put in place.

It said that while there was a P25-billion previously approved by the BSP and MB, supervening events must be taken into consideration.

The CA cited as an example when the bank was about to close, it had around P16-billion deposit accounts which were reduced as the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) started paying depositors and creditors.

“As soon as the reopening is published and announced, the depositors would flock and congregate in order to make the withdrawals. Thus, there is a need to address this matter before the reopening,” the CA said.

Concurring with the CA ruling were Associate Justices Vicente Veloso and Normandie Pizarro. (PNA)

fied men armed with M16 rifles and .45-caliber pistols. They escaped with the victims onboard two motorized boats,” Senior Superintendent Rodelio Jocson, the provincial police chief, told the Mindanao Examiner.

He said police and military forces were deployed to track down the gunmen.

But the military’s Western Mindanao Command said another Filipino guide Nestor Cabaluas was also seized, but managed to escape.

No individual or group claimed responsibility for the abduction, but Abu Sayyaf militants are known to operate in the province where they kidnapped a Malaysian fish trader Pang Choon Pong in October last year and is still being held in captivity.

Abu Sayyaf militants also kidnapped two Malaysian seaweed farm workers Vui Chung, 42, and his cousin Lai Wing Chau, 33, in TawiTawi in February 2010 and were freed later in the same year after their families paid some 2 million ringgits.

The group tied to al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiya had also kidnapped 21 mostly Western holidaymakers in Sabah’s resort island of Si-

padan in 2001 and brought them by boat to the southern Philippines. The hostages were then ransomed off to Malaysia and Libya - which negotiated for their release - for millions of dollars.

The Abu Sayyaf is still holding another Malaysian lizard trader, a Japanese man, an Australian citizen and three Filipinos in the restive region. (Ely Dumaboc)

Case... from page 2

Tanjili has already ordered the arrest of Canoy and Gesta and already scheduled their arraignment but both accused twice asked for postponement and later filed a motion questioning the validity of the arrest warrant after they had posted bail for two counts of libel.

In their petition for judicial determination of probable cause, Canoy and Gesta argued that there was no basis to warrant their arrest.

But the prosecution through private prosecutor Atty. John Nathaniel Marasigan and government prosecutor Joseph Mamburam said that the court had already determined probable cause when it issued warrants for their arrest and this was sustained by Judge Tanjili.

“Anent the allegation of facts set forth in the instant motion, the court is not the view that all matters raised therein are evidentiary and therefore must be proved with evidence during a full blown trial on the merits of the case,” Tanjili said.

With this ruling, Tanjili set the arraignment and ordered Canoy and Gesta to appear in court on Feb. 10, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. (PNA)
