General Santos-based publisher gunned down

By ALLAN MEDIANTE Executive editor with reports from INTERAKSYON.COM

GUNMEN shot dead a radio blocktimer and publisher based in General Santos City Thursday night, reported the National Union of Journalists in the Philippines (NUJP) yesterday.

Unidentified gunmen riding in tandem gunned down Christopher Guarin, publisher of Tatak News, along Conel Road at around 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 5, according to ABS-CBN Socsargen reporter Rhea Lara.

An update from Edwin Espejo of Asian Correspondent said Guarin, his wife Lyn, and 9-year-old daughter EC, were riding their Kia Sedan when the gunmen attacked them. His wife was also reportedly wounded.

Guarin was reported to have sustained five gunshot wounds in different parts of the body and one in the head.

He was rushed to the General Santos City Hospital but doctors declared him dead on arrival.

A count by the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines showed that, before Guarin, at least seven other media practitioners have been killed since President Benigno Aquino III assumed office.

Guarin’s murder brings to 148 the number of journalists and media workers killed in the country since 1986.

Reacting to the latest killing, two lawmakers urged government to let the private

Oro media flood victims get aid CAGAYAN de Oro City––At least 22 media practitioners from this city, who were affected by the flood last month, received assistance from various donors.

The members of the local press come several publications and broadcast stations of the city.

According to photojournalist Gerry L. Gorit, one of the flood victims, the donors gave them relief goods and money to help rebuild their lives again. Gorit works for the Mindanao Daily.

Gorit named the donors as Cagayan de Oro 2nd

District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, Abante Mindanao party-list Rep. Maximo Rodriguez, Misamis Oriental 2nd District Rep. Yevgeny Vincente Emano, Msgr.

Elmer Abacahin, former Cagayan de Oro Press Club president Jerry Orcullo, Del Monte Philippines, Philippine National Red Cross local chapter through board director Bebotte Chu, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, Cebu Press Club, National Union of Journalists in the Philippines and the Mindanao Daily Balita.

He added that some of the media practitioners also received aid individually from other donors.

Gorit, however, lamented the report that two of their colleagues from a radio station solicited 100 gift packs from a shopping mall supposedly to be given to members of the media who are flood victims, but that these packs were never distributed among them.

He said the two have also asked for help from other donors for the same purpose without the consent of all the media flood victims.

Water level at critical mountain lake in South Cotabato rises; alert up against possible floods GENERAL Santos City–– Water level at the critical crater-lake Holon (formerly Maughan) in T’boli, South Cotabato has risen due to a clogged waterway, an official said on Friday.

Silverio Tandog, project manager of the Allah Valley Landscape Development Alliance (AVLDA), said that boulders have impeded the flow of water at the mouth of the lake.

“There’s a need to clear the waterway from these blockades to allow the normal flow of water downstream,” he said.

Tandog said the spillway has become smaller due to the boulders, causing water to rise at the lake.

On Thursday, a composite team from the AVLDA, Mines and Geosciences Bureau, and the provin-

cial and local governments conducted an inspection on Lake Holon.

Initially, the team reportedly recommended the manual removal of the obstacles in the water channel.

But a machine may be needed, as some rocks are huge.

They piled up after a series of landslides that occurred at the lake’s walls since late last year.

Tandog said they are to discuss Friday the measures that would be taken on the problem.

He feared that if heavy rains would fall in the area and nothing is done to address the problem, a disaster may happen as increased impounded water may result to the collapse of one of the lake’s walls.

On September 6, 1995,

the lake caused a massive devastation when one of its walls caved in, blamed on alleged treasure hunting activities.

An estimated volume of about 30 million cubic meters flowed out destructively from the lake, leaving residents in utter shock and grief as low-lying areas were submerged in water for several days.

Based on the official records of the PDCC, the 1995 flash flood killed at least 53 people, 14 of them not recovered.

Damages to farmlands and infrastructure were pegged at P212 million.

The crater-lake is nestled at the crater of Mt. Melebingoy, which is also known as Mt. Parker. A report from the Philippine News Agency

IN CELEBRATION OF CHINESE NEW YEAR

Aquino declares January 23 as special non-working day PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III has declared January 23, 2012 as a special non-working day in the country in celebration of the Chinese New Year.

By virtue of Proclamation No. 295 signed by Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa Jr. on November 24, 2011, the President declared Jan. 23 which falls on a Monday as a special non-working day in the country to give both Chinese-Filipinos and Filipinos alike the opportunity to celebrate the holiday.

“On January 23, 2012, the Chinese nationals all over the world will celebrate Spring Festival, popularly known as the Chinese New Year, which is one of the most revered and festive events celebrated not only in China but also in the Philippines by both Chinese Filipinos and ordinary Filipinos as well,” President Aquino said in the proclamation.

FIFTEENTH CONGRESS ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) FIRST REGULAR SESSION )

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Introduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez and Representative Maximo B. Rodriguez, Jr. House Res No. _____ A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COMMITTEE ON YOUTH AND SPORTS DEVELOPMENT TO CONDUCT AN INQUIRY, IN AID OF LEGISLATION, ON THE DISMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE PHILIPPINE DELEGATION TO THE 2011 SOUTHEAST ASIAN GAMES HELD IN INDONESIA WHEREAS, the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games), is a biennial multi-sport event involving participants from the current 11 countries of Southeast Asia composed of Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines and Timor-Leste; WHEREAS, since the Philippines debuted in 1977, it has more often than not placed among the top three until it finally placed first during the 2005 SEA games; WHEREAS, however, it was all downhill from there as the country placed 6th in the 2007 games and 5th in the 2009 games as shown by the medal tally below;

WHEREAS, for the 2011 games, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) predicted a harvest of 70 gold medals from 512 athletes in 39 sports to improve on the country’s fifth-place finish in Laos in 2009 where the country got 38 gold medals with only 215 athletes donned the national colors; WHEREAS, this only further shows the decline in the state of Philippine sports are more athletes participating produces even lesser gold medals; WHEREAS, for the 2011 games, the PSC spent at least P30 million for their participation that brought home only 36 gold medals which translates to more or less one million pesos spent for every gold medal won; WHEREAS, upon realizing that the country would not be able to meet the projected 70 gold medals, POC officials announced a new and lesser target which is to improve on the Filipinos’ fifth-place overall finish in Laos in 2009, which target unfortunately, the country was still not able to meet; WHEREAS, the main culprit being blamed behind this debacle is continued politicking among sports leaders, mainly brought about by the POC, in the country which lead to internal strife and leadership disputes among several national sports associations (NSAs); WHEREAS, this continued politicking has led to more than 100 athletes being forced to shoulder their own expenses for the 2001 games and has led to athletes improving at a slower pace as compared to our neighbors who enjoyed better funding, modern equipment and training facilities, foreign training and international exposure courtesy of their respective governments; WHEREAS, some deserving athletes belonging to a NSA not “recognized” by the POC were replaced by other athletes from “recognized” NSAs who may not be the best bets to send to compete in the SEA games; WHEREAS, also, because of the politics involved, the NSAs were either bereft of a comprehensive development program or did not have sufficient funds to pursue their blueprint for success; WHEREAS, there is a need to look into this debacle and finally devise and enforce a plan to improve the state of Philippine sports and ensure that non-deserving and greedy sports leaders are removed; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives, to direct the Committee on Youth and Sports Development to conduct an inquiry, in aid of legislation, on the above issue and thus serve notice to all concerned, particularly the PSC, POC, the different NSAs and other agencies and entities which may shed light and resolve the issue.

Adopted, RUFUS B. RODRIGUEZ MAXIMO B. RODRIGUEZ JR.

Editor: RUEL PELONE

Barangay walay klaro NIINING panahon nga gitawag og “modern age,” aduna pa bay pulos ang barangay government?

Ang mga nanimuyo sa usa ka barangay o baryo naserbisyohan ba sa ilang mga opisyales sa barangay.

Aduna bay kahusay ug kalinaw sa inyong barangay, aduna bay seguridad, livelihood, ug serbisyong panglawas nga ginahatag ang inyong mga barangay?

Simple lang ang tubag, adunay mga kapitanes ug mga opisyal sa kabaranggayan nga kugihan ug daghan sab ang tapolan.

Kun g buot hunahunaon ang barangay government dako og ikatabang alang sa kahusay ug kalinaw apan kasagara daw dili seryoso ang ilang panerbisyo.

Adunay, barangay tanod apan mas naila naman hinoon nga mga “barangay tagay.”

Sa peace and order dako og ikatabang ang barangay kung ensakto

Editorial ug tino-oray pa ang ilang pagserbisyo.

Epektibo unta ang kampanya sa gobyerno batok kriminalidad tungod kay ang matag tawo sa barangay nag-ilhanay na––sa nawong, sa kinaiya o bisan ang mga kagikan sa usa ka pamilya.

Kitang tanan, nanimuyo sa usa ka barangay apan atong makit-an ug ma-obserbahan nga dili seryoso ang barangay government––mora lang og dayan dayan ug ang nakaparat kay na “politicize” na pag-ayo.

Ang ubang barangay “squatter” sa iyang kaugalingon nga barangay, walay yuta busa kadaghanan gi-demolish, pait di ba!

Kanus-a kaha mahimong seryoso ang serbisyo sa kabaranggayan?

Barangay walay klaro!

THINK a minute.

Imagine you are in a store and you see a big new television for only $1.

You look at a t-shirt and the price on it is $1,000.

Next to it is a brand new motorbike that costs only $3.

Wouldn’t you wonder if someone had sneaked into the store and changed all the price tags?

What you thought was very valuable is now not very valuable at all.

Have you ever gone through a painful loss or frightening crisis that turned everything in your life upside down?

Maybe the doctor told you that you have a serious, life-threatening illness.

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst Someone you love died in an accident.

Suddenly almost everything in your life was reshuffled and changed.

Those things that seemed important and took much of your time before now meant nothing to you.

And the things that you took for granted and hardly even noticed now became the most important things

to you.

It was like someone came and switched all the price tags in your life.

Sadly, these painful losses and problems in life are sometimes the only things that wake us up to see what’s truly important in life.

Unfortunately for many of us, it’s only when the problem and storm hits that we begin to understand

there are only 2 things that really matter: our Maker and people.

Life is short. Often shorter than we expect!

And hopefully before it’s over we learn how valuable every day is.

Each day is just one more gift from God. So we need to start spending what little time we have left on getting close to Him and the people He’s given to us to share our lives with.

That is the only way we can have no fears or regrets when we die.

Some of us are scared and don’t want to think of dying because we’re not sure if we’re ready to face our Maker and Judge.

Think a Minute.

Bag-ong tuig, bag-ong pagkinabuhi PIPILA ka adlaw milabay ang bag-ong tuig 2012, unsa nga mga maayong gawi ang angayan nga padayunon ug unsay mga dili maayong taras ang kinahanglan nang kalimtan ug biyaan sa dayon?

Kasagaran, kung moabot ang bag-ong tuig, kumon ang pulong sa paghimo og mga “New Year’s Resolution” o paghimo og mga kausaban sa kinabuhi. Sa mga mahilig mosunod sa mga tinuohang Intsik, gideklara ang 2012 nga tuig sa Dragon. Sa akong pagtuon pinagi sa internet nga ang unang kinaiya sa dragon mao ang pagka-init sa iyang ulo nga dali kaniya ang pagbuga og kalayo.

Kung awaton nato ang kinaiya sa Dragon, nan dili halayo kanato ang pagkaaburido sa atong ulo nga moresulta sa dili makontrol nga pagpakita sa daotang pinulongan o kaha bayolente nga pamatasan.

Kung usa ka ka Kristo-

Ang Bag-ong Tawo Alex A. Podador hanon nga matuod, dili ba nga hinimo man ang tawo sumala sa hulagway ug kinaiya sa Dios, (Genesis 1:26)? Nan, dili nato sundon ang tawhanong tinuohan sa pagkinabuhi, kun dili ang Diosnon nga pamaagi nga maoy gisulti sa Ginoo pinaagi sa Balaang kasulatan.

Para kanako, buksan nato ang bag-ong tuig pinaagi sa pagbag-o sa atong mga pangisip, pagbati ug pagkinabuhi ngadto sa mga pamaagi nga Diosnon. Kining tanan nakatala sa Bibliya. Sugdi ang buklat niini ug ikinaiya ang pagbasa niini matag adlaw.

Giingon nga “Ang tibuok nga Kasulatan gituga sa Dios ug may kapuslanan alang sa pagpanudlo, alang sa pagpamadlong, alang sa pagpanul-id ug alang sa pagmatoto sa pagkamatarun aron ang tawo sa Dios mamahingpit, masinangkapan alang sa tanang maayong bulohaton”. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Ang Dios matinud-anon nga motiwas, kung unsay Iyang nasugdan kanato.

Adunay nilibo nga saad ang Dios para niadtong mga nagamatinud-an usab sa Iyang mga kamanduan.

Miingon pa Siya nga

dili kita Niya biyaan, dili kita Niya talikdan. Bisan pa sa miagi nga kalamidad (bagyong Sendong) sa atong dapit, wala nagpasabot nga milingiw ang mga mata sa Ginoo kanato samtang nagakahitabo ang mao nga katalagman.

Anaa ang Dios kanunay ug sa tanang panahon nagabantay ug naga-iwas sa Iyang mga anak batok sa tanang mga pagsulay sa kinabuhi.

Kung maglisod ka pagusab sa imong kinabuhi, hinuon dili man gayod mausab sa tawo ang iyang kaugalingon pinaagi sa iyang paningkamot sa pag-usab niini, apan ang Dios lamang ang adunay gahum nga makapausab sa dili maayong dagan sa kinabuhi.

Duol sa Ginoo karon ug itugot nga Siya ang mobag-o sa dagan sa atong kinabuhi.

Dili Siya kabalo mo pakyas sa tanang moduol ug magpaubos Kaniya.

Aquino should know other problems SENDING people to jail, left and right, to stop graft and corruption in the country is not the only problem that the president should know.

The country has a lot of other problems even bigger than anything else. For instance a lot of people walk in the streets with empty stomach and penniless. The reason is they do not have jobs.

Yes, unemployment is one of the big problems confronting everyone ever since. It has become a way of life and seemingly, nobody is surprised about it.

Presidents and other politicians come and go but for a long time the problem of unemployment remain nearly untouched.

No president or lawmaker ever solved the problem despite efforts to curb such thing. This is the one that impoverished the country since unployment involves the economy and the lifestyle of people.

The Striker

Ben Emata Jr. It should be given priority to create jobs to improve the lives of families and the economy of the country.

What the government is doing right now is to export manpower to other countries.

We dump the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, European and other Asian countries with people thus exposing some of them to maximum risk in some troubled countries.

Syria, is having violent problem with its people and Filipinos there are certainly in grave danger.

The government wanted them sent home but they refused because there is

nothing they can do in our country.

They prefer work even if there is danger than in our country where hunger for them and families is dayto-day happening.

This is a shame on the part of our country. Our leaders are busy in politicking and other matters that are of less importance.

President Aquino should know that unemployment is an old, old problem that need immediate attention.

What we should do is create jobs for our people.

We should also invite big investors from other countries to come over and establish their manufacturing firms

here. Let foreign inventors open their shops here and exercise their professions.

If we have more investors here, jobs will be created and certainly more income for the economy. It is simple as that.

Some of our leaders should go to European countries, America, the Middle East, etc. and invite big capitalists to establish their business here. We need foreigners to help us with our nation-building that unwittingly improve the lives of our people.

Another thing is to develop more agricultural ventures in the countryside.

We must produce more to feed our people.

It is not normal for us to import rice from Asian countries while we have vast land area that is for agriculture.

We have thousands of professional agriculturists who are jobless owing to EMATA/PAGE 11

The Challenges for Philippine Tourism in 2012

By Fr. SHAY CULLEN

FOR the beautiful Philippines to have an attractive, clean and healthy tourism industry, much effort has to be done in eradicating the tarnished image made by the influx of thousands of single men seeking sex.

We all need to face this harsh truth that thousands of young women and minors are being exploited in the so-called sex tourism business. This is driving away family tourism as millions of prospective decent respectful tourists do not want to be associated with that image.

It brings to mind the story of 15 year-old Jenny who was brought to the beach apartment of an Australian tourist in Olongapo city and “sold” by her parents to him as a live-in sex partner. Jenny hated it but could not run away but when her younger 13 year-old sister, Ruth, was introduced to the Australian’s new friend from Sydney to be his room cleaner and then his sex partner, Jenny sought help from

the Preda child protection center in Olongapo City.

Ruth was rescued and the two Australians charged with trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor. But this case and many others like it highlight the complicity of the justice system in giving foreign child sex offenders and traffickers leniency and every chance to bribe their way out of trouble.

The two Australians were able to have t he charges against them dropped despite available testimony of the minors.

The judge ordered Ruth, the strongest witness, to be taken out of the protection of the Preda Shelter and given back to the parents who sold her to the tourist. This was the end of the legal action. Ruth, the prime witness was threatened with punishment and silenced. No police action was taken against the parents either. The unwritten government policy appears to be that trials of foreign sex-tourists is bad for business. There have been few convictions of

Visa Free countries for Pinoy tourists Researched by ALLAN MEDIANBTE

IF you’re a Filipino and a holder of Philippine passport who likes traveling and exploring the beauty of the world, but hates the visa requirement to some countries, frown no more for you can still go to wonderful places without hasslevisa-appointments.

The list of countries below doesn’t require a visa for Filipinos prior to arrival. All you need are passport, plane tickets / itinerary, and some money for your tour.

No Visa Required for Filipinos in the Following Countries…

Asia ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) •Brunei Darussalam - 14 days •Cambodia - 21 days •Indonesia - 30 days •Laos - 30 days •Malaysia - 30 days (sufficient fund must be at least 500USD) •Singapore - 30 days •Thailand - 30 days •Vietnam - 21 days Non- ASEAN •Azerbaijan - 30 days visa issued upon arrival •Taiwan - 30 days if holding a valid visa for Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Schengen countries, United Kingdom or United States. Check at https://nas.immigration.gov.tw/nase/ to meet the requirements.

•Georgia – 90 days visa issued upon arrival, 360

sex tourists or traffickers in recent years. Although this will hopefully change as President Aquino and Justice S ecretar y Leila De Lima crack down on corruption.

The Philippine government for the past ten years allowed the spread of the sex tourist industry instead of curbing it and protecting the vulnerable impoverished women and children that were recruited and forced or lured into prostitution.

The promot ion of t he gambling business with the spread of gambling casinos where drugs and prostitution are part of the attraction is equally damaging to the youth.

The holding of so-called “beauty contests” where bikini-clad young girls are displayed as models and contestants is to entice sex tourists, both local Filipinos and foreigners, to f lock to the Philippines. These contests are not much more than a sanitized slave market.

Local governments are accountable too. They is-

sue operating permits and licenses to the sex clubs.

The government support and leniency attracts the international sex Mafia, drug traffickers and people traffickers. Human rights activists are challenging government to drastically change this policy of allowing the industr y to continue unchecked and unregulated.

The busy social hygiene clinics, where sex bars and clubs are mandated to have their employees medically examined monthly or so, are evidence of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV-AIDS which is reportedly on the increase.

days visa free to those who have temporary residence of Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait •Hong Kong - 14 days •India - 30 days visa issued upon arrival •Iran - 15 days visa issued upon arrival if holding an e-visa pre-approval code obtained via email from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at www.mfa.gov.ir •Israel - 90 days (3 months) •South Korea (if arriving at Jeju Island only) - 30 days •Macau - 30 days •Maldives - 30 days visa issued upon arrival, extension of maximum 90 days is possible by paying MVR 750 •Mongolia - 21 days •Nepal - 15/30/90 days visa issued upon arrival for around US$25/40/100 •Sri Lanka - 30 days visa obtain upon arrival if holding Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). You can get this prior to arrival at www.eta.gov.lk •Timor-Leste - 30 days single entry visa issued upon arrival for around US$30, extension is possible up to 90 days Europe •Kosovo - 90 days Oceania •Cook Islands - 31 days •Fiji - 120 days Visitor's Permit issued upon arrival and can be extended •Marshall Islands - 30 days visa issued upon arrival and can be extended •Micronesia - 30 days •Niue - 30 days •Palau - 30 days visa issued upon arrival, additional USD 50 for extension •Samoa - 60 days Visitor's Permit issued upon arrival •Tuvalu - 30 days visa issued upon arrival •Vanuatu - 30 days North America •Bermuda - 31 days before but since May, they now require visas for Philippine passport holders •Costa Rica - 30 days Visitor's Permit issued upon arrival •Dominica - 21 days •Haiti - 90 days •Nicaragua - 90 days visa issued upon arrival •Saint Lucia – 6 weeks Visitor's Permit issued upon arrival •Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - 30 days visa issued upon arrival •Turks and Caicos Islands - 30 days South America •Bolivia - 90 days •Brazil - 90 days

The most important aims and goals of the Preda foundations programme is to educate and alert local government officials and the parents of the dangers and evils of sex tourism and the vice industry. It has to be the aim of all women’s and children rights advocates to oppose the existing approved practice and persuade government to ban sex tourism and close the establishments that are fronts for prostitution.

We have to inform public opinion through the media as to the damage it is causing and work for its elimination and encourage the positive kind of

tourism for which the Philippines is also well known and famous for.

The Philippines is famous for its tropical island beaches, natural scenic and adventure tourism, scuba diving, golf, heritage and historic tourism.

Environmental tourism and whale watching are popular and many new opportunities await development. The good tourism is there, it needs investment and development and the commitment of the government to close down the worst kind and promote the good. All of us have the duty to work for these goals.

You can also extend your stay but you have to comply with their visa requirement – that’s the time you have to secure a visa or permit depending on your purpose (work, business, study, etc) The other countries require a visa upon arrival.

It’s usually done at the port of entry or at the immigration bureau of that country. They usually ask you about your purpose of visit/travel and check your documents like your passport (which must be at least 6 months valid from the date of expiry), valid IDs (when I say valid it means it’s not expired and is accepted by all government offices), return tickets, and money. They usually require you to hold proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay.

Some strict countries checkpoint authorities require documents such as employment letter, hotel reservations, personal invitation, permit to travel and the like. They have the authority to refuse your entry if you fail to comply with them.

8 Pia Guanio announces she’s 5 weeks pregnant PIA GUANIO announces she’s five weeks pregnant.

Buntis na si Pia Guanio.

Ito’y kanyang in-announce ngayong tanghali, Enero 5, sa noontime variety show ng GMA-7 na Eat Bulaga!, kung saan siya’y isa sa mga co-hosts.

Sabi pa niya, “Siyempre, unang makakaalam ang Dabarkads!”

“Dabarkads” ang tawag ng mga hosts ng Eat Bulaga! sa kanilang sarili.

Limang linggo na raw siyang buntis sa asawa niyang si Steve Mago, ngunit nitong Miyerkules, Enero 4, lamang nila ito nalaman.

Matatandaan na noong Oktubre 1, 2011, ikinasal sila sa tahanan ng mga magulang ni Steve sa Ayala, Alabang.

Ito’y limang buwan matapos ang engagement nila noong Mayo 7, 2011.

Pribado lamang ang kanilang naging kasal, na dinaluhan ng kanilang mga kamag-anak.

Pero, pinaplano rin daw nilang mag-asawa na magkaroon ng “bigger wedding” para maimbitahan na ang mga kaibigan ni Pia sa showbiz.

‘Sleigh Ride’ Most popular Holiday Song, ASCAP Says Performing rights or-

Pacquiao’s most-likely next opponent may be known soon

By EDDIE G. ALINEA of the Philippine News Agency

THE path that World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will be treading this year will be known when he and his American promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank meet next week.

The 80-year-old Arum is scheduled to arrive in Manila from the United States on Sunday, purposely to have a meeting of minds with his ward as to who among the four names mentioned earlier the Filipino ring icon would want to meet next.

Undefeated World Boxing Council belt owner of the 147-pound division Floyd Mayweather Jr. had earlier been cited as his most ideal opponent in May, but the 42-0 win-loss holder American starts his 90-day stay behind bars Friday (Saturday in Manila) and won’t be out of jail until late March, removing him from the equation in at least the first half of the Year of the Dragon.

Frontrunners in the race as most-likely opponent of the eight-division champion are Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, who the Pacman had just disposed off via a

SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2012

majority decision last November, and Miguel Cotto, the last man to lose to him via knockout three years ago.

Lesser lights Tim Bradley and Lamont Peterson, who each owns a share of the junior-welterweight crown, are also being mentioned but suspect as to their bankability would be their main liability to earn a crack at the RING MAGAZINE’s pound-for-pound best.

Arum, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times this mid-week, confirmed he is flying to Manila to have an audience with the fighting Sarangani province

congressman to finally decide which road the latter would like to travel this year in his two-fight a year capped, hopefully with the mega-showdown with the “money” man.

The LA Times quoted Arum last Wednesday as saying Pacquiao wants to fight in the late spring and wait for a fall date with the 34-year-old Mayweather in November.

Should the plan is realized, Arum expressed belief though that Pacquiao will likely opt for Marquez due to the gallant stand the Mexican displayed in Act III of their trilogy. The Harvardgraduate lawyer insinuated that facing either Bradley of Cathedral City, Peterson or super-welterweight champion Cotto would be a possibility.

Bradley and Peterson, like Pacquiao, fight under Top Rank.

Cotto lost to Pacquiao by 12th-round TKO in 2009, but looked to have sprung back to mainstream with his impressive TKO revenge over Antonio Margarito last December.

Bradley may still lack the credentials Marquez possesses but his youthful energy and power could

prove the needed ingredients to make gate and payper-view buyers to see him at the opposite side against Pacquiao.

Demands from the Marquez camp for a higher purse and the fight to be held anywhere but Las Vegas are factors also mentioned as hindrance for him to battle the Filipino for the fourth time.

Arum also told LA Times he does not believe Mayweather has a hold on the popular May 5 date at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, adding that Nevada’s gambling city is Pacquiao’s first fight’s logical venue.

The unbeaten Mayweather last month accepted a plea deal that had felony domestic violence charges reduced to misdemeanors, sending him to Nevada’s Clark County jail starting Friday. A good behavior might reduce the jail sentence that Mayweather stands a chance to be released as early as the second week of March, not enough time though to promote and train for a May bout.

Arum expressed feeling that the fight all of boxing world craves but aborted twice might still be possible later in the year.

ganization ASCAP reports that “Sleigh Ride” is the most-played holiday song for the second year in a row.

Mediaguide compiled the Top 10 list after tracking songs played on 2,500 U.S. radio stations.

Rounding out the Top 10, in descending order, are “Winter Wonderland,” “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?,” “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

TRIVIA Glory of the Sea

THERE are 12,000 or so species of seashells in the Philippines.

The Conus Gloriamaris or “Glory of the Sea” is the rarest and most expensive in the world.

seashells, remains the most famous and one of the most desireable shells for modern collectors.

Among collectors, the shell of the Glory of the Seas cone snail, Conus gloriamaris, has special significance. For many years it was one of the most sought after, and considered one of the most rare, shells in the world. Its elegant beauty, and moderate rarity even today, continues to elevate the Glory of the Seas above most other cones in terms of desirability. For a century after its description by Chemnitz in 1777, Conus gloriamaris was known from a relative handful of specimens and it developed a historic notoriety. In 1792 it was published that an earnest collector of Conus species, Chris Hwass of Denmark, purchased a Glory of the Seas at auction only to immediately destroy it in an effort to reduce the known population of specimens by one, thus making his other specimen that much more valuable. A mid-1800’s report testified that the only known locale at which Conus gloriamaris was thought to be found alive was destroyed by earthquake, driving the rare species into extinction and making the known specimens spectacularly valuable. As recently as 1957, only two dozen specimens were known to exist and auction prices were well above $1000 apiece. Ten years later, the number of known specimens tripled as collectors discovered New Guinea collecting grounds. In 1969, a pair of divers found over a hundred live specimens at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands and the rarity of Conus gloriamaris was history. Nevertheless, the shell’s historic significance and mystique continue. The Glory of the Sea Cone can now be afforded by most collectors, enabling them to possess an example of what was once the most pursued shell in the world, and what is still one of the most beautiful to behold.

ARIES. If you cannot be passionate about life without portraying a totally biased viewpoint, then put pen to paper to get your point across. With the process of writing your thoughts down, you can be more objective.

TAURUS. Stick to business and take note of the facts and figures.

If someone pushes your buttons, simply walk away and compose yourself. You may feel the urge to unleash a torrent of anger, but as a Taurus, you are aware there is more power in silence.

GEMINI. It seems your social calendar missed the memo that it is time to get back to business. With so many invitations, it’s hard to know what to accept and what to decline. Choose carefully in order to gain the maximum benefits and social exposure.

LEO It’s better to take a short break and come back refreshed with LEO. renewed energy rather than run yourself into the ground. Even though you probably feel you can do it all yourself, it is wise to share the load, so ask a colleague for assistance.

SAGITTARIUS. Don’t get involved in other people’s office politics as it will only distract you from what needs to be done. Leave them to deal with their own drama. This may be the moment your future is determined.

CAPRICORN. The real value of your current friendships can be realized over this period. New friends and colleagues will make an impression on you, and they will be like–minded souls you can share common interests with.

lot of good agricultural schools in our place. What we need are investments and government support to encourage people to engage in such business. We have to give the poor farmers their right to own lands.

Our country did not move forward even an inch because some of our leaders did not think about improving it. The result is we have so many poor people that are critically in need of job and it seems nothing is done about them. We have to improve ourselves by introducing new efforts for such problem.

sustained head injuries.

Still unaccounted for were Ruperto Velasquez, Ramil Senoron, Reglyn Evangelio, Roger Diagdal, a certain Michael, Jennievie Baumbat, Man-ao Yogon and Kiko Senoron.

The three-hectare slope from a seven hundred-footelevation at Purok Diat 1 collapsed 3:00 a.m. Thursday sweeping away 50 bunkhouses and people who were mostly asleep.

Darwin Aguinawon, a 27-year-old survivor, said he heard a roaring sound like dump truck unloading its cargo moments before his bunkhouse crumbled in the avalanche of debris.

Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo conducted an aerial survey of the disaster area 10 a.m. Friday before he met with local authorities.

sector put an end to media murders.

Malacanang, on the other hand, claimed the police have “identified leads and they are in hot pursuit.”

“We expect the PNP to apprehend the suspects. We condemn the extrajudicial killing of another journalist,” Palace spokesman Edwin Lacierda said.

Guarin was publisher and editor-in-chief of the community daily Tatak News and also hosted a block-time program on Radio Mindanao Network’s station dxMD here.

Police Officer 2 Gerald Jubelag, investigator of the Lagao police station, told reporters Guarin, driving his Kia Pride sedan, was with his wife, Lyn, and nine-year old daughter when the at-

tack took place as they were approaching their home in Sunrise Subdivision.

Lyn was grazed on the left arm by a bullet.

Threat Freddie Solinap, manager of Tatak, told reporters that just before the attack, as he hosted his radio program, Guarin received a text message from an unknown sender warning him, “Ayaw na’g gawas sa estasyon karong gabii kay patyon ka namo (Don’t go out of the station tonight because we are going to kill you).”

Solinap said Guarin even read the text message over the air.

But he apparently did not take any precautions because after the program, he drove straight to the Tatak on Bulaong Avenue office to fetch his wife and daughter.

Solinap described Guarin as a good man. However, he said once in a while Guarin would receive text messages containing invectives from unknown senders.

“I suspect this has something to do with his business as newspaper publisher and editor,” Solinap said.

But General Santos police chief Senior Superin-

tendent Cedric Train said although the incident is still under investigation, the motive for the killing was likely not work-related.

“There are some personal issues we are looking at,” he said but declined to give more information.

Eyewitness Between sobs, Lyn recalled that after Guarin fetched her and their daughter, they were happily talking inside their car.

As they approached the subdivision, the killers drove up beside their car and opened fire.

“I did not see the actual shooting. But our daughter, who was sitting behind the driver’s seat, saw it,” Lyn said.

Although wounded, she said Guarin decided to jump out of the car to spare her and their daughter. “He jumped out of the car so we will not be caught by stray bullets,” she said. “Before he jumped out of the car, he told us to drop, adding that they (gunmen) were the (ones) tasked to kill him.”

Guarin tried to run away but the killers continued to shoot at him. Lyn said she could not remember exactly how many shots were fired.

“I and my daughter lay down (on the car floor) and

I could no longer count the number of shots … But I saw my husband lying on the ground helpless, pleading before the suspects not to kill him. His pleading fell on deaf ears,” she said.

After they had finished him off, Lyn said she overheard one of the killers say: “Human na (It’s done).”

Although she could not give an accurate description of the killers, Lyn said she remembered the motorcycle as a white Honda XRM with license plates that ended in the digits 41. She said one of the killers was “quite chubby” and wore a cap and jacket.

She said their daughter is suffering from the trauma of witnessing her father murdered.

Questioned Guarin’s widow said she does not recall her husband being involved in a quarrel with anyone.

But after the killing of Alfredo Velarde, circulation manager of another community paper, Brigada, last November 11, Guarin was among those invited by police for questioning. (with reports from Abigail Kwok, Niccolo Blanco, Lira Dalangin-Fernandez and Chichi Conde, InterAksyon.com)
