“Batang Kalabaw” practice assailed

Revamp DOE, PNOC -solon

• Execs maybe protecting vested interests instead • Children taking the place of carabaos, forced to drag and push lumber and logs of consumers says report

By Allan M. Mediante Executive Editor CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Investigations are underway to stop the practice of forcing children to engage in hard labor.

Dubbed as “Batang Kalabaw” practice, children doing hard labor in some cities, provinces and towns like a carabao are risking their health according to lawmakers.

This prompted Reps.

Rufus Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City) and Maximo Rodriguez, Jr. (Party-list, Abante Mindanao) to file a Congressional Resolution to put a stop to these abuses against kids.

Cong. Rufus, said there is a serious need to look into the report and immediately criminalize these abusive practices by unscrupulous proprietors who tolerate and practice child labor in their business activities. “The children are being made to risk their lives and sacrifice their youth and their future,” bewailed Congressman Maximo Rodriguez.

The Rodriguezes urged the House Committee on Welfare of Children to summon the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and other agencies and entities to shed light and resolve KALABAW/PAGE 7

For failing miserably in their jobs, executives of the Department of Energy, the Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC), Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp.

Ozamiz LCE lauds Aquino for creation of Task Force Panguil

By Rutchie C. Aguhob OZAMIZ City––The city mayor has thanked President Benigno S. Aquino III for creating Task Force Panguil that resulted in an improved business confidence in the city.

“We are thankful to P re s i d e nt Aq u i n o f or creating Joint Task Force Panguil, as it has beefed up local law enforcement and crime-fighting capacity, hence, improved the city’s business confidence,” Mayor Nova E. Princess E. Parojinog-Echavez said during the State of the City Address (SOCA) she delivered recently.

It is encouraging to note that the city’s criminality, as measured by the incidence of index crimes, went down by 20

percent, from 575 cases in 2009 to only 457 cases in 2011, the mayor said, noting that apart from maintaining peace and order, business confidence must also be maintained so more investment flows can be seen.

“Our strong logistical support to the local police has borne fruit and relative to this, I am happy to announce that the Php5 million pesos for the Ozamiz City Police Station (OCPS) Headquarters is now up for bidding by the Philippine National Police (PNP), region 10,” she said.

She said P91.72 million in private investments flowed into the local economy since July 2011. The biggest of these investments was by the Unitop

Corp., which is developing and leasing an extension of the public mall, on top of which is an additional P32 million that generated 119 jobs and a total annual rental of P5 million.

The other big investments are the P23 million Gaisano Southwing Mall and the P20 million Mitsubishi Showroom and Service Center.

Significant flows into real estate development have also been started by Mediatrix Homes, which could reach a billion pesos, while Camella Homes is currently doing a perimeter survey for a future project site.

Filinvest and Ayala Land-affiliate Villabeta are looking for viable areas in the city, the Mayor added. (PIA-10 Mis. Occ.)

Sendong survivors get more assistance

By GERRY L. GORIT Correspondent

MORE relief goods have poured in for the Typhoon Sendong survivors inCagayan de Oro. This time the donors come from Saudi Arabia.

With the coordination and assistance of Candy Darimbang, chairperson of the Higala Sa Katawhan (Alang Sa Kalamboan) Movement Inc., and officers of the movement, the donated goods were given to families temporarily housed at the Tent City in barangay Lumbia.

Darimbang said the do-

nation comes from the Tau Gamma Phi International Riyadh Council, represented by Joel Plumos, and Tau Gamma Phi Cagayan de Oro City Council relief operation led by engineer Mitchell Flores.

The goods were turned over to the beneficiaries on July 5 through barangay Lumbia officer-in-charge and former barangay councilor Lesenio D. Beja.

Consisting of brand new children’s school shoes, casual ladies footwear, clothes for children and adults, canned go o ds, no o dle packs and bottled water, the aid was given to some

74 families.

Darimbang said the Higala Sa Katawhan Movement will continue giving goods to the Typhoon Sendong survivors as more aid is coursed through their group.

She said this latest endeavor benefits the less attended households in the relocation area.

Darimbang added that part of the Tau Gamma Phi’s relief goods was also given to the Typhoon Sendong survivors in Iligan City.

“All this is for service to our brothers and sisters who were affected by the calamity,” she said.

BJMP conducts reforestation along shorelines, riverbanks CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) here in Northern Mindanao organized a “Clean and Green Fun Drive” last June 23 at the seven-hectare DENR coastal-protective area along Barangay Taytay, El Salvador City.

“Aside from serving as valuable nursery areas for shrimp, crustaceans and fishes, mangroves are also said to protect our shorelines from damaging storms and waves,” said Teddy Manit, Coastal and Marine Management Division Chief, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), during a short orientation that served to jumpstart the activity.

Joined in by a total of 245 participants composed of youth leaders from the

National Youth Commission in cities of Cagayan de Oro and El Salvador, members of the Tactical Operations Group-10 of the Philippine Air Force, Philippine Army (4ID), Bureau of Fire Protection, Department of Education-El Salvador, El Salvador city government, Barangay Taytay Council, Bantay-Dagat El Salvador, students from Capitol University, and Just Circle of Alubijid, the reforestation activity planted 2,500 mangroves.

Personnel of BJMP in Iligan City were also able plant 100 seedlings in Barangay Tipanoy last June 24.

The seedlings were given by the City Agriculture Office and were planted along the riverbanks of the said barangay.

“Today’s time calls for

a more receptive approach in reducing existing vulnerability of our region.

Ever yone—government agencies, youth leaders, the public—must do his/ her share in helping the community adapt to climate change through proactive approach,” said Jail Sr. Inspector Francis Acelo, BJMP-10 spokesperson.

The activities are in line with BJMP’s Community Relations Month.

BJMP is on its 21st year, being one of the tri-bureau of the Department of Interior and Local Government, and is continually pushing its personnel to provide services to the community other than their usual tasks of inmates’ safekeeping and development. (Jeza Mae Sarah Sanchez/BJMP/ PIA10)

Over 5,000 tourists join Lanao’s Sagayan Festival 2012

By LORRY V. GABULE

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte–– More than 5,000 tourists, local and foreign alike, witnessed the Sagayan Festival, an event that highlighted the 53rd Founding Anniversary of Lanao del Norte.

Visitors from neighboring provinces and cities came over to see the most-awaited performances of the participating contingents in this equally known provincial cultural dance of Lanao del Norte.

Sagayan depicts a war dance among the Maranaos, performed during the Araw ng Lanao del Norte Cel-

ebration that is participated originally by the respective local government units of the 22 municipalities of the province.

The Festival is slated every July 2, set in the two-week long celebration on its annual commemoration of Charter Day. Starting this year, the Sagayan Festival would be school-based, participated by students from the secondary level, explained Governor Khalid Q. Dimaporo during the opening of this prestigious event.

“We encouraged the students to feel that diversity of culture will not affect the

harmonious relationship we instill among Muslims and Christians here in the province,” Gov. Dimaporo said.

The war dance depicts a ritual for battle in search for rescue of the legendary hero’s sister.

Among the contingents were the Balo-i National High School, Arsenio A. Quibranza National High School (AAQNHS), Lanao del Norte National Comprehensive High School, Kapatagan National High School, and North Central Mindanao Colleges, all representing the municipalities of Balo-i, Tubod, Baroy, Kapatagan and Lala, respectively.

We are apprehensive of Misamis Oriental Gov. Oscar Moreno’s interest to run for an elective post in Cagayan de Oro City. Although we respect and welcome Moreno as city resident, we are disturbed with reports of his obsession to become City Mayor. It is not that the Cagayanons would interfere on Moreno’s political plans. However, we, the people of Cagayan de Oro have also the liberty to question Moreno’s motive.

The governor from Misamis Oriental may have all the good intentions to run for Mayor in Cagayan de Oro. Yet, the Cagayanons are not convinced of Moreno’s performance as Governor of Misamis Oriental. Although there are no charges filed against Moreno, reports of alleged corruption at the provincial Capitol had drawn anxiety among city residents.

The employees at the provincial Capitol alleged that they do not receive their salaries on time. Adding insult to injury, lowly paid workers complained that Capitol failed to settle their amount loaned although monthly deductions were taken from their salaries.

The province-owned Misamis Oriental telephone system has reportedly gone bankrupt prompting the PLDT, its communication provider, to cut off services.

Last year, the Commission on Audit (COA) has reported on Moreno’s unsettled cash advances for P29-million charged as intelligence fund. There were reports of the province’s lavish spending, particularly the P78-million uplift of the Capitol ground. Since Moreno’s election as governor in 2004, the provincial Capitol destroy its playground every year in the guise of renovation to justify spending millions of taxpayers’ money. It is on allegation of extravagance that Cagayanons are anxious of Moreno’s political intent in Cagayan de Oro City.

As living witnesses of Cagayan de Oro’s growth and progress, we pride ourselves of being Cagayanons. We worked hard amidst all odds. We maintained our consistency of support to duly elected officials as the city progresses through the years. We have succeeded in getting rid of politicians pretending to be leaders of our future. It is our resolve to be vigilant of these leaders in order to safeguard the legacy of our sacrifices and dreams.

MABUHI ANG CAGAYANONS! MABUHI ANG CAGAYAN DE ORO!

Child labor laws useless?

ALL children have the right to grow up in a safe environment where they have the opportunity to reach their full potential and become healthy and productive citizens. We are all responsible for eradicating this injustice to ensure a brighter future for children.

According to UNICEF, an estimated 246 million children are working, and nearly three quarters of those children are working in hazardous places like mines, or working with dangerous tools like machinery and pesticides.

In the Philippines child labor has been a pestering problem but which cannot be stopped because of poverty reasons. Yesterday, lawmakers from Mindanao

called for an investigation on reports that children are made to drag and haul lumber and logs in Caraga provinces where illegal logging and lumbering are still rampant.

While most everyone agrees that child labor cannot be condoned, the issue is complex. Impoverished families or parents who are unable to work depend on their children’s income source for survival. The cycle of poverty and its gendered implications must be adequately addressed so families can find other means to survive.

Here in our country, various laws regulate and even prohibit the employment of children below 15 years old. Republic Act 7658

prohibits the employment of children below 15 years of age in public and private undertakings, and Republic Act 9231 provides for the elimination of the worst forms of Child Labor such as dragging and hauling logs and lumber.

However, despite these laws, there still exists the worst form of child labor in towns and cities in different provinces all over the country according to a lawmaker.

How then can our government stop the abuse and exploitation of children? They are often the victims of their employers and sometimes, even their parents. Child labor ruins a cherished life. Childhood by nature is destined for fun

and frolic, education and enlightenment. Yet, all this come to naught because of the compulsion to earn money. Working children also threaten their health and impede their overall development.

The main thrust of our programs must be foremost on Education; Raising awareness of health, safety and hygiene issues among families; Warning of the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and Enlightenment on the causes of diseases, and how to prevent them.

Above all, the issue on poverty is the most important focus of concern to help parents stop forcing their children to be unfortunate tools of livelihood for their families.

Live before you leave THINK a minute.

They say, “The greatest risk is not taking one.” Why is it when we grow up and become adults, we stop sticking our necks out and taking chances?

Yet, at the end of our life, we’ll probably regret the things we did not do more than the things we did.

Remember all the new things in life you learned to do that were big risks the first time you did them?

Your first time to swim, your first time to ride a bicycle, your first time to drive a car. Some of the things we do all the time now seemed almost impossible before we did them the first time.

The great French leader, Napolean, said: “The word impossible is found only in the dictionary of fools and

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst failures.” So ask yourself: “Is the word impossible in the dictionary of my life?”

Do you say “I can’t” more often than you say “I can?”

Sometimes “you have to go out on a limb if you want to get the best fruit!”

We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can’t discover new oceans unless we’ve got the courage to lose sight of the shore.

We need to believe that

the best jobs haven’t been found yet, and the best work hasn’t been done yet. But we can’t have the life we want if we don’t change the life we have.

A successful woman said: “A bad habit never goes away by itself; it’s always an undo-it-yourself project.”

Smart people sometimes change their minds—but fools never do.

So we have to leave our comfort zone if we want to

reach a new kind of success.

Don’t allow yourself to be buried alive in your comfort zone, like many people do.

It’s OK to use your comfort zone to rest in, but not to live in.

So after you’ve recharged your energy, leave your comfort zone to move on to your next challenge. Remember, God never puts limits on your faith, so your faith should never put limits on Him. Faith is not afraid of failing; faith is afraid of not even trying. So why not ask Jesus Christ to give you His faith and power to step out and start changing your life today? If you ask Him to take charge, then He will help you fully live your life—before you leave it.

Just Think a Minute.

INC, officially amazing LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high…” (Proverbs 3:3, the Holy Bible).

-oooINC, “OFFICIALLY AMAZING”: “Officially amazing,” the new term which is now being used worldwide to describe the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) after it broke three Guinnes world records in just one mammoth medical-dental mission held last July 7, 2012, is really an understatement, and does not even approximate the really amazing thing that the politicallypowerful religious group has achieved in its nearly 100 years of existence.

Yes, of course, it is a tremendously amazing feat that last Saturday, the INC subjected some 4,128 people to an eight-hour non-stop dental check-up, some 8,026 people to blood pressure check and some 7,023 people to blood glucose level test,

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio all in one sitting, for these figures broke three previous world records.

But if we consider that the INC is engaged in a non-stop effort, 24 hours a day seven days to week, assisting and helping its millions and millions of members not only in the Philippines but all throughout the world, making sure they are living comfortable and decent lives wherever they maybe, then we will understand that the INC, especially under its current and third Executive Minister, Mr. Eduardo V. Manalo, is really and truly “amazing.”

-oooNOTHING MYSTERI-

OUS ABOUT CAMBODIA DISEASE: If the truth be told, there is really nothing mysterious about the disease that has already killed 60 Cambodian children in a just a span of several weeks, afflicting them first with fever and inflammation and then causing their deaths, and which is a disease which has put Philippine authorities on alert as well.

This is a disease that was predicted to happen by the Holy Bible, thousands of years ago yet. It is therefore a disease that was just waiting to explode, and which could have been prevented from even erupting, if only we listened well enough.

Where in the Bible was

this prediction made? In Deuteronomy 28:15, and 2223. Let us read these parts of the Bible: “However, if you do not obey the Lord your God, and do not carefully follow all His commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you… The Lord will strike you with wasting disease… with fever and inflammation… which will plague you until you perish…”

-oooTHANK YOU TO TWO GROUPS THAT INVITED ME TO SPEAK: I wish to thank two groups which invited me to speak before their members on July 17, at the Occupational Health and Safety Institute in Quezon City, and on July 19 at the Region 12 Convention of the Association of Christian Educators of the Philippines in Davao City.

power shortages in Mindanao, the looming energy crisis in Luzon and the recurrent increase in the prices of petroleum products are glaring proofs that the executives of these agencies have failed miserably in their jobs.

“Most of these executives lack the knowledge and experience in handling energy matters while some are serving as stooges of the big players in the energy industry,” said the progressive solon.

Casiño particularly cited DOE Secretary Jose Almendras, who was a top executive of Ayala and Aboitiz companies and DOE Undersecretary Jose Layug who was a legal counsel of Chevron before they joined the government service.

“How can you expect Almendras and Layug to strictly supervise and regulate the oil companies and the suppliers of power and energy whose interest they used to manage and promote?” the lawmaker added.

PNOC President Antonio Cailao was also singled out

by Casiño for his favorable treatment of Shell and Chevron in the Malampaya venture. Cailao proposed the extension of the Malampaya contract by another 13 years and even supported the US1$ Billion expense for building two new oil well heads.

Casiño's Bayan Muna party has persistently been advocating thoroughgoing reforms in the power and energy sector and had filed bills to repeal the EPIRA law and the Oil Deregulation Law. It has criticized government actions in the energy sector that led to mounting debts and very high electricity rates that have become unaffordable to the consumers.

It has also been critical of

the highly disadvantageous Malampaya Contract which grants big foreign oil firms billions of dollars in profits to the detriment of the Filipino people.

“We tried to give these officials the benefit of the doubt when they were appointed but it seems that they have the interests of the Big 3 and power companies at heart instead of the welfare of consumers,” said Casiño.

the issue.

Citing reports, Rodriguez said children, known as “Batang Kalabaw” who come from Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte who have stopped going to schools, are forced to drag and push lumber twice or thrice their weight and size for a fee of P50 or less each taking the place of carabaos.

“These children from impoverished families expose themselves to dangers as they drag and push logs on slippery slopes just so they can be paid a measly sum with the consent of parents and under the noses of government officials,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said the parents of these children should also be held accountable as they are the ones who are supposed to provide for their children and not the other way around.

In seeking the probe, Rodriguez cited Sec. 13, Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which declares that the State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and shall promote and protect their

physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social wellbeing. It shall indicate in the youth patriotism and nationalism and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs.

Rodriguez likewise cited Sec. 3, Par. 2, Article XV of the Constitution which affirms that the State shall defend the right of children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and other conditions prejudicial to their development.

Rodriguez said various laws have regulated and even prohibited the employment of children below 15 years of age including Republic Act 7658 otherwise known as An Act Prohibiting the Employment of Children Below 15 Years of Age in Public and Private Undertakings, Amending for this Purpose Section 12, Article VIII of R.A, 7160 and Republic Act 9231 or An Act Providing For The Elimination Of The Worst Forms Of Child Labor And Affording Stronger Protection For The Working Child, Amending For This Purpose Republic Act No. 7610, As Amended, Otherwise Known As The "Special Protection Of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation And Discrimination Act." However, despite these laws, there still exists the worst form of child labor in towns and cities in different provinces all over the country, Rodriguez said.

since January this year.

The police chief believed the robbers were not from the city but from other areas with connection of some bad individuals in the province of Davao del Sur One of the arrested suspects came from Baganga town in Davao Oriental, De Castilla said.

Authorities are looking into the possibility of the presence of safehouses for the snatched motorcycles inside the city.

City Mayor Joseph Peñas urged the police to hasten the arrest of suspects in motorcycle robbery and apprehension of motorbikes without plates and registration, including drivers without license.

Peñas said crimes will continue unabated if there are politicians and police authorities backing up the operation of criminals.

City police theft and robbery unit and sceneof-crime investigators said the suspects broke into the money transfer office by “forcibly opening” the two padlocks and glass door with a “tie wire”, opened the two vaults and took their cash contents before fleeing.

Authorities were still looking deeply into the case.

Duterte clarified that the City Council decided to deny the application of the developer mainly to protect the welfare of the city residents.

“When the law requires the concurrence of the City Council, it means to say the decision would not depend on whether the move is legal or not. If it is legal, you do not ask anything from the council,” Duterte said during his Sunday’s television program, Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa.

The Fairfield Memorial Park project will be occupying at least 5.3 hectares of land area near the city’s aquifer or the prime source of drinking water supplying the city’s water district.

Residents of the area, particularly in Barangay Dumoy and Lubogan have already aired their protest against the project for fear of water contamination, it was learned.

Duterte urged all memorial park developers to respect the decision of the council as it is pushing to amend the Watershed Code of the city.

The city government is aiming to amend the water code in order to patch up several loopholes in the ordinance, the vice mayor said.

Finance Asia names Globe as best managed company in PH FinanceAsia, the region’s leading financial publishing company and premier source for finance, investment banking, economic and capital markets news, awards Globe Telecom as best managed company in the Philippines. The company reaped awards for the ninth year in a row from the prestigious publication as it conducted its annual survey of the best managed companies in Asia. The awarding was held last June 21 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

Globe reaped high marks in terms of corporate governance, investor relations, commitment to a strong dividend policy and corporate social responsibility.

Globe is consistently one of the most profitable compa-

nies in the country, posting improvements in revenues, market share, profitability, and shareholder returns despite the weakening global markets, slower domestic economic growth, and a very competitive telecom industry.

Globe Chief Financial Officer Albert de Larrazabal (4th from left) and Investor Relations Head Jose Mari Fajardo (3rd from left) received the awards.

They are joined in the photo by (from left) Lorenzo Roxas, Chairman and President of Maybank ATR Kim Eng Securities; Manuel Tordesillas, and Ramon Arnaiz, President and Chairman, respectively of Maybank ATR Kim Eng Capital Partners.
