Aquino’s improved economy: no longer a joke but a farce Second of a series

Lumad, in land row, kills foe with arrows

By MARYA SALAMAT of Bulatlat.com

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino’s 90-minute speech, said to be one of the longest SONAs in recent memory, highlighted achievements that progressive groups shot down either as just a deception, a half-truth at best, or simply meaningless.

By BEN D. ARCHE Regional editor-Davao

TAG UM C it y – – Pol i c e authorities believed that land conflict prompted the death of a farmer pierced with deadly arrows in the municipality of Talaingod, Davao del Norte recently. The victim identified as Felipe Polinio, 71, resident of Purok 1, Barangay Dagohoy, sustained five hits of poisoned arrows in different parts of his body Monday morning. Police Officer 2 Dodjie Mabale, Talaingod Municipal Police Station investigator said the incident happened while the LUMAD/PAGE 11 Peoples Sona street art. Photo by Marya Salamat / bulatlat.com

Among others, “Aquino’s ‘achievements’ consisted of an S & P credit upgrade, a rise in stock market, some record gross international reserves, a loan extended to IMF – all quite meaningless to ordinary Filipinos facing high prices, low wages and landlessness,” said Renato Reyes Jr., secretary-general of Bayan (New Patriotic Alliance). President Aquino expounded on the gains made by his administration in the delivery of education and health services. “What he

did not mention is that these services are increasingly being provided by professional teachers and nurses working as highly exploited contractuals. Under his presidency, the Department of Education has deployed over 20,000 contractual teachers and 10,000 contractual nurses who are paid below minimum wage,” said ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. Antonio Tinio. Women who marched along Commonwealth Avenue deplored President FARCE/PAGE 11

DAVAO City––Persons with disabilities (PWDs) have found suitable means of earninga living on the internet. Differently-abled graphic artist head, Darlito Palermo, engineer, said his organization established by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has paved way for about 50 PWDs in Davao City to work online, earning as much as P30,000 a month. Palermo viewed online jobs as suitable for PWDs who need not go to workplaces which, mostly, have yet to establish accessible features such as ramps. “The can work at home. They don’t need to go out, commute, and go to work in establishments which are not accessible,” he said. PWDs are now working online for companies based in Singapore, Netherlands, the United States, Australia, and other developed countries, rendering services

as virtual assistants, web designers, content writers, data encoder, remote PC assistant, among others. Totally blind, 25-yearold Maricel Fornis of Sasa, Davao City shared her experiences working online during the Career and Employment Advocacy held Wednesday at SM City Annex in observance of the 34th National Prevention and Rehabilitation Week Fornis said she lost her sight in a vehicular accident in February 2002, but she rose from the misfortune by training for online work. She now serves as the virtual secretar y of an executive director of a company based in Singapore. She arranges flight summaries, book hotels, coordinate meetings, and prepare documents for visa applications of her employer. She views online work as beneficial to PWDs who would be spared from the hazards of mobile barriers because they only have to stay at home and work on their internet-connected personal computers. Working online makes them save expenses for transportation and fuel, she said. Fornis also shared information about the values and attitudes which had help her stay long in online

work. She said one must be determined, resourceful, initiative, conscious about the importance of global services and must be result-oriented. “Gikinahanglan ang right attitude. Dali lang tun-an ang computer pero dili ang right attitude. Apan ang right attitude ang gikinahanglan kaayo. (Right attitude is needed. It is easy to learn how to use the computer but not the right attitude which is the most important),” she said. Meanwhile, 30-year old orthopedic Gil V. Alfeche of Sasa, Davao City is now working as a quality control assurance officer of an English online tutorial company based in Singapore. Recalling his quest for a job, he said he used to repair cellphone services, among other odd jobs after dropping from college as a graduating student of computer engineering of the University of Mindanao. Because of his desire to look for jobs online, he borrowed money from friends just to buy his own computer unit and connected to the internet. That started opening up fortunes for him. “Dili lang jud ta mawadan ug paglaum. (Let’s not lose hope),” he said.

House to probe ‘unusually tight’ LPG supply LAWMAKERS are set to investigate the “unusual tightening” in the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the open market. “We’ve received complaints from several LPG distributors and refillers that they are encountering difficulties in procuring their normal supplies of the cooking fuel from key bulk providers,” said Rep. Arnel Ty, who represents the sectoral party LPG Marketers’ Association (LPG-MA) in Congress. “This tightness in supply seems strange, considering that all is supposed to be well in the LPG markets here and abroad,” said Ty, a member of the House committee on trade and industry. Ty would not speculate as to the likely cause of the problem. “But we sure hope major suppliers are not purposely holding back deliveries in anticipation of higher prices,” added Ty, also a member of the House committee on energy. After a series of rollbacks since April, local LPG prices could possibly start to recover next month, amid the rebound in the contract price of the cooking and auto fuel overseas. Ty has already asked the committee on trade and industry chaired by Bataan Rep. Albert Raymond Gar-

THE Senate’s on Tuesday ratified Status of Visiting Forces Agreement (SOVFA) with Australia, adding the treaty will further strengthen diplomatic ties and the alliance between the two countries. “The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) welcomes the ratification of the SOVFA by the Senate. Australia is a key ally in this part of the region (and) SOVFA is mutually beneficial to the Armed Forces of both countries,” AFP spokesperson Col. Arnulfo M. Burgos, Jr., said. He added the agreement will further strengthen bilateral ties as the Philippines upgrades its soldiers’ knowledge and skills in the conduct of humanitarian assistance/disaster relief. “(SOVFA) will also further strengthen our bilateral relationship with Australia in view of mutually contributing in the maintenance of peace and stability in the region as we gear towards a minimum credible defense capability and reliable disaster response capacity,” Burgos stressed. On Tuesday, Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the Senate, with an overwhelming 17-1 vote, has ratified the SOVFA between Australia and the Philippines. “Long ratified by the Australian parliament, the SOVFA has been pending in the Senate since 2008. We thank the Senate for this historically significant action,” Lacierda said. First proposed in 2004, the SOVFA was signed by Australia on May 31, 2007, and ratified by President Benigno S. Aquino III on Dec. 23, 2010. The Philippine Senate needs a two-third vote to approve and formally sanction the defense agreement.

Pasay court allows Arroyo to post bail By CHRISTOPHER LLOYD T. CALIWAN of the Philippine News Agency

cia, and the committee on energy chaired by Batanes Rep. Henedina Abad, to look into the “difficult” LPG supply. “We’ve also requested the Department of Energy to look into the matter,” Ty said. He said Energy Secretary Jose Rene Almendras has already assigned two teams to check the anomaly. “We want this abnormality nipped in the bud, before it starts to affect ordinary consumers,” Ty said. To ensure stable LPG supply, refineries and importers are supposed to maintain at all times at least seven days of readyto-market inventory, plus another 30 days worth of deliveries in transit. Owing to scarce storage facilities, the mandatory minimum product inventory for LPG is less when compared to other fuels. Suppliers of other fuels such as diesel and gasoline have a required product inventory of up to 45 days.

MANILA––A Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) on Wednesday allowed former President and now Pampanga 2nd District Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to post bail on the electoral sabotages charges filed against her in connection with alleged irregularities in the 2007 senatorial elections. In its seven-page ruling, Pasay RTC Branch 112 Presiding Judge Jesus Mupas faulted the prosecution, saying they failed to provide evidence showing

that Arroyo conspired with her co-accused in the case. “The only evidence presented by the prosecution that will link accused Arroyo to the alleged conspiracy is the testimony of Engineer Norie Unas whose credibility is seen by the Court to be tainted with doubt. Unsupported by other evidence to corroborate such testimony, the same could not be given such weight and probative value that will be sufficient to establish a strong evidence of guilt on the part of accused Arroyo,”

said Mupas in his ruling. “Accordingly, accused Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is allowed to post bail for her provisional liberty in the amount of P1 million,” the ruling said. But the court junked the same petitions of Arroyo’s co-accused, former Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan Sr. and former Maguindanao election supervisor, Lintang Bedol. “Considering the facts and circumstances which were aptly shown by the prosecution and absent

any evidence that would prove otherwise, this Court believes that there exist a strong evidence of guilt on the part of accused Bedol and Ampatuan Sr.,” Mupas said. Mupas said that from the said duties and responsibilities of Bedol, “it would be incredible to believe that an irregularity would occur during the said election without the same reaching, at the very least, his attention.” As for Ampatuan, the BAIL/PAGE 9

Legarda calls for better river basin management By ANA CELESTE W. FELISILDA

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Managing river basins must be given priority by government and other stakeholders because many livelihoods and ecosystems depend on them. This was the gist of Senator Loren Legarda’s message during the Collaboration Workshop for the Cagayan de Oro River Basin, here in the city, July 19, this year. “We have not been keen on urban and land use planning in areas surrounding the basins, and overall, we have had a reactive stance to disasters. But we can no longer be victims of circumstance,” she exclaimed. Senator Legarda, who is United Nations’ Regional Champion for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation for Asia-Pacific, suggested that “the money intended for rehabilitation will be much better spent in preventing the damage, in the first place.” The one-day activity was initiated by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), in coordination with the Lo-

Cops nabbed social worker ‘poseur’ recruiting workers COTABATO City––Cops on Tuesday pounced on a woman posing as job recruitment officer for the Department of Social Welfare and Development–Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DSWD-ARMM). The suspect, identified as Norhaina Guiamalon, was nabbed near the vicinity of Shariff Kabunsuan Complex, the ARMM’s provisional seat here, following complaints from some 15 victims whom she duped of paying her P1,000–P4,000 in exchange for a permanent position at the DSWD-ARMM office. “The office has not assigned anybody to recruit workers from outside the office. I do not even know this Norhaina Guiamalon,” DSWD-ARMM Assistant Secretary Pombaen Kader said. She stressed that only ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman has the privilege of signing job appointments in the region and that DSWD-ARMM merely recommends qualified workers for their office. “You see, it is all up to the governor to screen and approve the workers we have recommended and so with those from other regional government-line agencies,” DISTRIBUTION OF NCIP CHECKS.

Multiple charges against ‘missing’ cashier readied K I DA PAWA N C i t y – – The city government of Kidapawan is set to file on Thursday administrative charges against the city’s disbursing officer, who has gone “missing” since last week. City Mayor Rodolfo Gantuangco said Darwin Loyola, the city’s disbursing officer for 10 years, failed to file his leave of absence after three days or 72 hours since he left his office last Friday. Loyola, he said, is now considered absent without official leave (AWOL), one of infractions in government service. Loyola’s absence from his office has reportedly disrupted government trans-

actions. At least P900,000 worth of salaries for job order employees, including health workers, village guards, and locally-funded public school teachers for the period June 16 to June 30, were not yet paid when Loyola went missing, the mayor said. Aside from being AWOL, the city government is also set to file administrative charges against Loyola for grave dishonesty, gross negligence, and grave misconduct. The LGU is also readying criminal charges against him. “We’re now waiting for the final reports of the audit conducted by the Commission on Audit (CoA).

After that, we’ll let our legal counsel appreciate the audit reports so we could file the necessary criminal charges,” the mayor stressed. Reports reaching the city LGU said that Loyola has withdrawn at least P15 million of capital investments poured in by several city hall employees for their lending business, which they started 10 years ago. The investors, reports added, included the city administrator, department heads, and other well-to-do employees. Other private individuals, most of them traders, also invested huge capital for Loyola’s lending business. As this developed, CASHIER/PAGE 11

Finding work online and working at home TODAY’S article is offbeat. We will talk about work at home opportunities where unemployed individuals find job via the internet. However, finding a lucrative job in the internet is not easy. With thousands of equally qualified applicants all over the world, one must possess singular quality that would stand out among the rest. English is the major language. Cris Diaz Knowing one or two other languages such as French, and German is an added advantage since translators pitch high pay. Data entry is also popular in the web now. Why is this happening? Ten years ago, the United States already predicted that working at home would be popular in the mainland in the next 20 years. Fifty percent of workload in the US and the rest of the manufacturing and industrial world would employ individuals via online at home or elsewhere. Only CEOs, members of the board, and technical positions will remain in the payroll of companies. Most administrative jobs have to be undertaken online. Under the scheme, the company gets rid of paying vacation leaves, sick leaves, car allowances, insurances, and bonuses. Adopting this strategy would mean 40 to 50 percent cut of the company’s existing budget. This is ‘outsourcing.’ The Philippines is one of the countries in Asia where US mainland companies are interested to hire outsourcing jobs. The reason is simple: The Philippines is the only English speaking country in Asia. Salaries of outsourcing companies in the Philippines are still lower than salaries enjoyed by those who really work in company premises. For instance, outsourcing workers in the Philippines get only $350 to $800 a month. In mainland companies, workers received as much as $1200 to $5000 per month. Most mainland companies enter into a contract with outsourcing companies where computation of salaries ranged from $1000 to $3500 per month. While receiving dollar in their contracts, outsourcing companies based salary computation for workers in the Philippines in peso currency – not dollars. HOME/PAGE 11

Budget cut and automated elections THE Palace submitted Tuesday to the House of Representatives its proposed P2.006-trillion 2013 National Budget, a day after President Benigno Aquino III delivered his third State of the Nation Address (Sona). Among the departments, the Department of Education (DepEd) continues to get the largest allocation at P292.7 billion, which is P55.9 billion higher than its P238.8-billion budget in 2012. This is followed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with P152.9 billion allocation

Editorial compared to the previous P126.4 billion. The Department of National Defense (DND) will get P121.6 billion next year which is P13.5 billion higher than the 2012 allocation of P108.1 billion. Completing the top 10 agencies with the biggest allocations for 2013 are the Departments of Interior and Local Government (DILG) with P121.1 billion; Agriculture (DA) with P74.1 billion; Health (DOH) with P56.8 billion; Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) with P56.2

billion; Transportation and Communications (DOTC) with P37.1 billion; Finance (DOF) with P33.2 billion; and Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) with P23.7 billion. However, Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Sixto Brillantes warned the commission may have to revert to manual counting of ballots in midterm elections after the Palace slashed its budget from P24 billion to P8 billion. Bad timing indeed as the Comelec is keen on implementing the automated counting of election

returns. Slashing the budget of Comelec by two-thirds is quite alarming. How can we expect the Comelec to be effective in handling the mid-term elections next year considering the meager budget. But Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda claimed the Comelec had ample savings to proceed with the automated elections. Lacierda even said that Budget Secretary Florencio Abad told him that Comelec had ample savings. Confusing. Who is telling the truth now?

How to live right with a wrong husband THINK a minute. A famous woman once said: “All marriages are happy, it’s living together afterwards that’s the problem!” Have you ever felt like you could be a great, loving wife—if you had the right kind of husband? Well, if you’re the wife who has the wrong kind of husband, then these 4 reminders are just for you. Number 1 is our actions and behavior. It doesn’t matter how difficult your husband is to live with, he’s still not blind! He can’t ignore the way you behave— whether you’re good to him and treat him with respect or not. Don’t let him fool you, he’s watching the way you act and behave! Number 2 is our ap-

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst pearance: how we look. Of course, we need to be pure and loving in our heart, but don’t stop when you get to the outside! We need to care about how we look for our husband. So if at home you and I are looking like a messy, unmade bed all day, what husband wants to come home to that? So do all you can to look good—whether it’s your clothes, makeup, exercise or diet. Even an old shed looks better with

new paint on it! Number 3 is our attitude. Do you have a gentle, quiet strength? You might say: “Wait a minute. I’m not that weak, submissive wimp type!” Friend, I’m not talking about being weak; I’m talking about our attitude of inner strength and self-control that still shows respect for our husband. Remember, you and I can fix our faces up in 2 minutes, but our right attitude takes

a lifetime to build! And number 4 is the way you and I take care of our husband’s needs. Or are we too busy running here and there for other people, taking care of everyone else except our own husband? Friend, if we do all these things that are right in our marriage, then God will bless and reward us. But you and I must trust God to change our husband. And if you’ll ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for all your wrongs in your marriage, and ask for His power to change, your love and example will begin to influence your husband to want to change. Then, you’ll be on your way to living with the right kind of husband! Just Think a Minute.

The dream, the challenge, the promising development THE President’s 3rd SONA has brought joy and hope to the Filipino people especially when the President delivered these inspiring lines. “But what we know about our people, and what we had proven time and again to the world was this: Nothing is impossible to a united Filipino nation. It was change we dreamed of, and change we achieved; the benefits of change are now par for the course.” Indeed, we are glad to know the very promising transformation from being the “sick man of Asia to one who now beams with vitality with a growing GDP by 6.4 percent which is said to be much higher than projected. It was a great relief to hear comments that “Once, we were the debtors; now, we are the creditors. “ How will this apply to Northern Mindanao? Checking the revenue performance statistics of

When Statistics Speak Salvador A. Aves, Ph.D, DM Northern Mindanao during the first quarter of 2012, NEDA-10 reported P1.43 billion tax collections and P1.36 billion customs collections, which are higher by 26 and 18 percent, respectively as compared with the same period last year. However, behind the rosy portrait, the SONA presented a bleak picture which needs to be arrested. To borrow the words of the President, “Challenges remain. The high maternal mortality ratio in our country continues to alarm us.” This is about the increasing maternal deaths from 162 to 221 per 100,000 live

births from 2006-2010 as revealed during the launch of the National Statistics Office 2011 Family Health Survey last June 19, 2012. According to the keynote speech of Health Secretary Enrique Ona: “The cruelest irony is that women are dying as they are giving life.” Such statement is loaded and its implications remind us of the vulnerabilities that confront our women population. Putting the statistics simply would give us a picture of estimated 11 faceless women dying each day from highly preventable complications arising from pregnancy and

childbirth. This would of course lead us to a blatant contrast which shows that today more Filipino women die in childbirth than in the early 1990s. Sec. Ona in his speech stressed that “we need real time health statistics that can guide us in making crucial decisions as we reform our healthcare system.” And true enough, these statistics have generated promising development. The SONA unveiled some facts that based on data from the DSWD: 1,672,977 mothers now get regular checkups; 1,672,814 children have been vaccinated against diarrhea, polio, measles, and various other diseases. With this promising development, there is no doubt that we can reverse the trend and give each and every mother the promise of a healthy life.

‘Public will’ key to overcoming corruption CORRUPTION is a common fact of life in many places, but it can be fought and conquered by the right combination of political will and a full dose of understanding about how corruption inevitably pays off for the few, not the many. That was a central message of Prof. Robert Klitgaard, a leading expert on corruption and institutional reform, who spoke at the East-West Center recently during an international conference on cutting-edge approaches to dealing with government and political corruption. “There is corruption everywhere. Just like disease, it is inevitable,” Klitgaard said. “Where it kills you is when it becomes systemic.” Klitgaard, a professor at Claremont Graduate University in California, was the keynote speaker at the annual conference of the International Public Management Network, hosted this year by the East-West Center and organized by G. Shabbir Cheema, director of the Center’s Asia Pacific governance and democracy initiatives. Corruption has many definitions, but many at this conference used the standard definition of “the use of public office for private gain.” And it has become

clear, conference participants agreed, that lessening corruption is central to efforts to improve governance, reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth. The battle to end corruption, whether in the United States or abroad, faces the force of both apathy and cynicism, Klitgaard noted. People take the attitude: “There’s nothing we can do about it” or “all politicians are corrupt.” But, he said, there are plenty of real-world examples – from the Eastern European nation of Georgia to Singapore and Peru – where the cycle of apathy and cynicism has been broken and where corruption has given way to improved governance and a better quality of life. What it takes, he said is demonstrating to people that they have the ability to change things if they would only recognize it. “People are sick of this,” he said. “If you can give them hope – once you show a leader or a people how they can change this, they can do it.” When reformers emerge, he said, they tend to succeed when they put themselves in tune with what the general public wants – when they sense the underlying political will: “The key is for them to ask ‘What does the public

really want? And how do we go after it?’” One fruitful way of igniting the political will for change is to show by example, Klitgaard said. He cited, for example, the Republic of Georgia, once “one of the most corrupt places on the planet.” Corruption tainted everything from the top levels of government to the local traffic police, Klitgaard said. But in 2003, an inflamed citizenry exercised its political will through the “Rose Revolution.” An entrenched system was first shocked, then overturned. Corruption was not ended overnight, but a different set of expectations emerged. There are several practical steps that usually occur in any successful battle against corruption, Klitgaard suggested. These include a decision to “fry big fish,” – that is, get rid of or make an example of those highly associated with corruption in the public mind. In Georgia, that included the forced resignation of president Eduard Shevardnadze. Another step, Klitgaard said, involves legal reforms to open up opportunities to more than just the well-connected elites. And quite often, it requires the pragmatic decision to pay more,

‘MANO PO, STEVE’

ONE of the special guests of Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) Philippines, a young boy with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) a rare metabolic disorder, raises the hand of Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Golsby to his forehead while politely saying “mano po” in the traditional Filipino way of greeting an elder. Golsby was in town for a series of business meetings with the local leadership of Mead Johnson Nutrition and his visit was capped with a simple breakfast get together with the children with orphan or rare diseases (metabolic disorder) today (July 5) at the MJN Offices along Pasong Tamo. Mead Johnson Nutrition Philippines, in partnership with the Institute of Human Genetics of the UP PGH National Institute of Health, has been providing the much needed specialized nutrition for children with metabolic disorder for the past 20 years.

in salary or incentives, for those at the top or in positions of influence – including the local traffic cops – so the financial incentive for corruption is diminished. The results in Georgia were impressive, he said: a quadrupling of the national GDP, high ranking internationally by Transparency International on ease of doing business and a surge in its position among the rankings of corrupt nations from one of the worst to one of the best. Klitgaard cautioned that while the basic elements of combating corruption are universal, particular techniques vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For instance, the government of Peru launched a program of public surveys asking people, in effect, “how are we doing?” This led to a checklist of best practices and success stories which were highlighted in popular live TV broadcasts where cash prizes were awarded to popular and successful government services or agencies. “It was a lot like American Idol,” he said. In India, a clever use of social media led to a website called “Ipaidabribe.com,” on which people forced to pay for government

services could share their experiences with each other and thus shame officials into changing their practices. While many believe that a free and open democracy is the best means to end corruption, that is not always the case, Klitgaard said. Achieving democracy and ending corruption are parallel, but not identical goals. He mentioned the case of Singapore, which he said was a “cesspool of corruption” in the early 1960s that has moved into the very top ranks of uncorrupt states through a hardheaded leadership style that is autocratic, if not openly dictatorial. Traditional civil liberties took a back seat to nation-building and institutional and economic stability, he noted. Today, Transparency International ranks Singapore No. 5 out of 183 countries in a list of how corrupt their country is perceived to be. (The United States is ranked at 24th.) In the end, Klitgaard said, it is important to remember that “corruption is a system, not a moral transgression.” Once the system is shocked and begins to change, corruption diminishes and lives improve. eastwestcenter.org

Erap’s biggest challenge: Resurrects a ‘Dead City’ TO FORMER President Joseph Estrada, the biggest challenge for him in his bid to become Manila’s Mayor is how to resurrect it from the graveyard of neglect and urban decay as quickly as possible. It is not only in disarray, Manila is a dead city! In a series of discussions with his political planners and development advisers, Estrada expressed concern over the fact that Manila is no longer the choice of tourists and foreign investors. Most of the tourists and foreign investors come to Manila just to sleep at the Diamond, Hyatt or Manila Hotels but they actually visit other popular destinations and make investments somewhere else in the country. The situation is worsen with the lack of direction on the part of the incumbent, Mayor Alfredo S. Lim. Except for engaging in cosmetic projects such as the expensive street lighting set-up in selected major thoroughfares, nothing significant has been done to redevelop the city and promote tourism. Except for Intramuros, which is not managed by the city government, there is no other major attraction in Manila.

Double Barrel Vic A. Endriga Even the so-called red light district, a major tourist attraction three decades ago, lost its charms. Former Mayor Lito Atienza tried to redevelop the Malate area by allowing upscale cafes, clubs and five-star restaurants but he ran out of time. The redevelopment effort did not reach the Ermita side of the district. So, it has remained decrepit just like city hall. In the call center business, for instance, Manila has been left out even by smaller cities like Taguig City, Tarlac City, Baguio City and Cebu City, among others. So, employment opportunities have become scarce because business activities are already out of the capital city. Big businesses like banks, mining, and manufacturing firms, pre-need firms, you name it, have already left Manila. For example, the banking sector already moved their head offices to Makati City long time ago.

Only two banks have their head offices based in Manila. These are the Land Bank of the Philippines and Philtrust Banking Corporation. Soon, Pasay City and Paranaque City will make Manila look like a poor and destitute neighbor with the fast emergence of shopping, entertainment and mixed-used-high rise complexes and structures in their reclaimed areas. Hotels, condominiums, malls and casinos are now under construction in the two cities as part of an integrated Entertainment City which will compete with Macau and Las Vegas. Where would this leave Manila? Worse, the world knows Manila have a serious traffic problem aside from runaway growth of slum areas. While before the concentration of informal settlers were only in the Tondo area and part of district 3. Today, District 5 has become the host of the biggest squatter population BIGGEST/PAGE 11

Pinoy food goes global FILIPINO food is expected to leap forward globally as food producers continue to offer unique flavors that captivate the world food market. In her speech read during the recent food fair dubbed as “Eats more fun in the Philippines,” Department and Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary for Regional Operations and Development Group (RODG) Merly M. Cruz. Cruz said food trend analysts predict that Filipino food will soon be assimilated into the global mainstream culture much like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai food. The fair showcased the food products of about 200 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the country. It displayed products such as bagnet and longanisa from the Ilocos provinces, organic and unpolished rice from Nueva Ecija, dessert food and other delicacies from Pampanga and Laguna, malunggay food products from Batangas, pinangat and pili products from Bicol, coffee from the province of Kalinga, honey and vinegar from Benguet, and fruitflavored wines from Agusan del Sur. “Some experts believe that this trend is just taking off, and that the unique Filipino blend of European and Asian flavors will soon

capture the taste buds of the world market,” Cruz said. This unique Filipino food blend is the combination of the best techniques from its foreign influences. Out of the USD 3B Philippine food exports in 2011, USD 1.72B are processed food and USD 52.2M are beverages. As of the first quarter of 2012, Philippine food exports already accounted for USD 1B. One-half of this figure or USD 517.6M are processed food, and USD 32.2M are beverages. In 2011, the major markets for Philippine processed food are the US, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. In the first quarter of 2012, the same food importers topped the list with the addition of China. China became the second importer of our process food, from its 10th position in 2011. For beverages, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan, US, and Korea are the major importers of the Philippines in 2011. For the first quarter of 2012, Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, Malaysia and Hong Kong SAR are

the major markets of the country for beverages. The food fair is part of the government’s effort to help promote the products of MSMEs, and make them to contribute in attaining inclusive growth in the country. Cruz said that this is a good time to be a Filipino entrepreneur because the Aquino administration has recognized the potential of the MSME sector as a driver for national economic growth, and a critical element in poverty alleviation. Considered as the backbone of the Philippine economy, these enterprises comprise 99.6 percent of all registered business in the country. One-half of these enterprises are food producers. “The DTI, through the Bureau of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Development (BMSMED), as well as its regional and provincial offices, will ensure the successful implementation of SME programs through close coordination and monitoring of quantifiable performance outcomes. This is a very exciting time to be a Filipino entrepreneur. Let us all work together to achieve the potential to be among the world's top economies hopefully in our lifetime, but definitely in our children’s, by laying a strong foundation for the future," Cruz said.

Davao medical school to build P250M ‘Green Building’ project By JUDY G. QUIROS

DAVAO City––A Davao medical school will build a P250-million world class “Green Building” project and is currently levelling some 1,100 square meters of the 2.5 hectare lot of the school complex. Dr. Jonathan Alegre, Davao Medical School Fo u n d at i o n ( D M S F ) president, said the edifice to compose of two buildings, a 10-storey and a three-storey buildings, will purely be a medical school with modern facilities plus features of a

wellness center, gym and food court and coffee shop. He also said the medical school is now PAASCUaccredited and a ground breaking of the “Green Building” will be held on Aug. 1, this year simultaneous with the celebration of the 36th year Founding Anniversary of DMSF. PAASCU stands for Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities, Alegre said. “We are embarking on this project because it is needed due to the increasing number of students.

We have to uplift our standards in order to become world-class being PAASCU accredited,” he said. He said DMSF applied for PAASCU accreditation last year, and is receiving positive feedbacks. Of the 40 medical schools in the entire country, only six are PAASCU accredited, Alegre said. “Wh e n a s c h o ol i s PAASCU accredited, it means you are world-class,” he proudly said. He said DMSF’s number of students is increasing by 10 percent every year, and at 1,100 this year, 200

of whom are foreign students specifically Indians, Malaysians and Napalese nationals. Alegre said DMSF had 3,603 graduates in the fields of medicine, dentistr y, nursing and midwifery. In the latest results of the board examinations for medicine, DMSF garnered sixth place of the top ten, Alegre said. Among the significant standards to be PAASCUaccredited is that a medical school should have an amphitheatre, modern library and different laboratories simulation rooms, which

The project whose construction is seen to start within the year and completed for a period of one year, is expected to boost medical tourism, Alegre said. Alegre said DMSF sets a separate teaching class for its foreign students to ensure that they can adopt the school’s learning process. The school’s foreign medicine graduates emerged as the first batch of international medical

students in the country to get the highest passing grade of 91 percent, he said. On the other hand, Alegre said DMSF is dubbed as the research center of medical students in the whole of Region 11. The school is a consortium of about five different medical schools and institutions including Ateneo de Davao University, Brokenshire College, San Pedro College, San Pedro Hospital and DMSF, he added.

court said the prosecution was able to establish a strong evidence of guilt on his part in view of his direct and active participation during the same election. The joint Comelec-Department of Justice panel have argued that Arroyo, Ampatuan and Bedol conspired to ensure a 12-0 win of the administration’s Team Unity senatorial candidates in the 2007 polls against the bets of the Genuine Opposition. Immediately upon receiving the court notice of its resolution, Arroyo through her lawyer Ray Montri Santos posted the bail for his client on Wednesday. Santos said that the court

ruling only confirmed their position that the prosecution’s case against the former president was weak. “Yes, we are really confident because of the lack of evidence against her,” Santos said adding that they were also confident of her eventual acquittal in the controversial case. Asked if the other cases filed against Arroyo would hinder or prevent her release from “hospital detention” at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City, Santos said she was already out on bail in the Sandiganbayan case. “For the second case referring to the plunder case, actually the Ombudsman has not yet concluded its preliminary investigation at as of now we don’t have

opportunity to file a motion for reconsideration of the review of the joint resolution recommending the filing of the information,” he said. Arroyo is facing plunder charges, a non-bailable offense, for alleged irregularities at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). Even if the prosecution filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s ruling, Santos said it would not stop the implementation of the release on bail. Felda Domingo, spokesperson of Pasay RTC Branch 112, also echoed Santos statement. “Lagi yan right ng parties na mag-file ng motion for reconsideration pero hindi nito mape-prevent ang implementasyon ng release order,” the court spokesperson said. But Domingo said Arroyo could not still leave the country despite the court’s ruling. “Definitely no, hindi sya makakalabas ng bansa dahil hindi pa tapos yung kaso nya na dinidinig dito sa aming korte,” she said. The next process after the ruling, Domingo said, would be the issuance of the release order to the VMMC and the Philippine National Police (PNP) since the latter was the custodian of the former president.

to be her special sets of skills. She notes, “I can say that I am optimistic, resilient and responsible because of the things I’ve been through. I am a good person because that’s what my parents trained me to be but despite the goodness that I have, I can also say that sometimes I appear quite snobbish if I have something in mind that I want to express but I can’t talk. I’m also a little bit strict because of the goals in life that I want to achieve.”

Banda ni Papet... rocks through net airwaves

ocal band Banda ni Papet traces their roots as a group of teenagers with the love and passion for music. As recalled by the band frontman Kent Seriña, “We started BNP when we were in Xavier University Highschool me and Rob Wapaño... We met our bassist Don Gabe in college and our guitarist Marc Adame as well. Our drummer Lori Janubas who comes from xuhs entered our band when we were in college we all liked music and we all live music.” Getting tired of doing covers, the band wished to play their own music – now BNP is born. “We started making the album in March. The lyrics were already there for us; our awesome guitarist/producer built the melody and sound from scratch. We then met multiple times giving our thoughts and ideas to the songs. After the

music and lyrics were polished we arranged schedules to go to our guitarists house to record our parts individually”, Kent recalls the early stages of the album. Banda ni Papet released the album via the World Wide Web to make their music available and ready to download free for the public. “We wanted to release the album digitally to make it easily accessible to the public especially in the dawn of technology and social networking. The promotional strategy was based on Rob's thesis. Also we wanted it to be free…so that people can just download it anytime from our website, without worrying if they can afford the album or not” tells Kent. You can download the full BNP album at www.bnpcgy.com absolutely free! Enjoy!

Outsourcing companies are very demanding simply because they want to impress on their clients abroad. However, the actual compensation of workers is only half of the actual amount the client pays to the outsourcing company. The reason why BP0 (business processing outsourcing) is a lucrative business in the Philippines. They come since Filipinos are professionally skilled workers, speak, and write perfect English, and willing to receive low salaries. However, there are other means to earn online. One should only have a desktop or laptop computer at home. One of the most profitable works in the internet is becoming an ‘affiliate.’ An affiliate is one who sells products online. Joining this group is free although some scammers sell the platform to individuals believing in ‘get rich quick’ schemes. Here is the catch: There is no program in the internet that allows one to become rich overnight. However, there are programs in the internet that would make your dreams come true if one works hard for it. We will talk about it next time. React: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

in Manila. Soon, Manila will be the world’s Squatter City. The enormous challenge of reviving Manila into a vibrant city once again, which is a must because it is the nation’s capital, has become not only a challenge for Estrada. To him, it has acquired the nature of an inspiration which ultimately will become his greatest legacy as a public servant. This early, Estrada is spending countless hours in preparing and revising his blueprint for the city of his birth. And in doing it, he is conducting continues consultations and dialogues with various sectors in the city, including businessmen, professionals, civic and religious groups, as well as urban poor leaders. Not only that, Estrada is making daily rounds into the barangays in an effort to hear their stories of hopelessness and their longing for a more caring and responsive city government. The good news is that as of last week the former President disclosed that he is ready to present to Manilans his plan to resurrect their dead city. With him and Manilans working together, like Lazarus Manila will rise again!

more than two thousand miners mostly coming from the towns of Maragusan, Lupon and Pantukan, all in Compostela Valley, Cobacha added. Cobacha said most of the motorcycles used as transportation from this city to the area are unregistered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and

driven by persons without driver’s license. A one way trip per passenger costs P1,500, he said. Earlier, the Provincial Government of Davao Oriental issued an order to stop the operation of small-scale gold mining in Tarragona after a consultation with the concerned officials and agencies of the government. Davao Oriental Governor Corazon T. NuñezMalanyaon decided to close the mining operations in the area for several concerns involving health, environment, disaster, peace and order, aside from having no permit to operate. In a memorandum order, Malayaon directed all the miners, operators and financiers until July 21 to cease from digging up and to haul their extracted earth out from the area until July 25. On July 26, the governor said in her order, authorities will shut down all the portals and tunnels and restrict anyone to come close to the area.

more and more women and children are dying of easily preventable and curable illnesses because Aquino’s PPP has made healthcare a luxury,” said Lana Linaban, secretary general of Gabriela Women’s Party. Aq u i n o e x p e c t e d l y boasted about the rise in Philippine GDP, claiming it is highest in Southeast Asia, but analysts have warned before that comparing the Philippines’ rate of growth to that of other neighboring countries is an inaccurate gauge for development, because other countries started off from a more substantial growth than the Philippines. Even if other countries’ growth had slowed down compared to the Philippines’, they have advanced considerably farther than the Philippines. Besides, the most important sector that generates more jobs is agriculture, but, according to independent think-tank Ibon Foundation, agriculture under Aquino experienced a 2.4-percent drop – from 7.3-percent to 4.9-percent. Against data from research groups that joblessness is getting worse, Aquino boasted that under his presidency, unemployment rate is declining. But the sector who ought to feel that trend first happens to be the most vehemently critical. “Being fed with lies about development and growth is even more revolting for poor people who have nothing to eat,” said Elmer “Bong” Labog, chairman of Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU). He said that if there had been additional jobs, these are largely low-quality, low-paid contractual jobs.

Aquino’s public-private project (PPP )–driven health program as “a lethal formula, compliant to the dictates of multinationals and big businesses, threatening to kill Filipino women and children.” The country’s maternal mortality rate has gone up to 221 for every 100,000 live births from 162 in 2006. “More women are dying of preventable childbirth complications.

Those plants which were found to have unclear source of timber and insufficient stocks would be advised to shut down. Knowing where the wood processing plants get their timber would also help DENR determine the legality of their wood suppliers. PNA

“While President Aquino praised the military and the police and efforts to improve the country’s defense and law enforcement capabilities, he did not utter one word during his 90 minute speech about the many victims of abuses by these forces. Human rights abusers can conclude that, contrary to previous government statements, they have little to fear and that it will be business as usual in the years ahead,” said Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch in a statement sent to Bulatlat.com. “Human Rights Watch has been calling on Aquino to communicate clearly to state security forces that his administration will hold accountable those who violate human rights. Members and officers of the military and the police have been implicated in large numbers of extrajudicial killings, torture and enforced disappearances. Since Aquino took office in 2010, not one perpetrator has been successfully prosecuted even as the abuses continue.”

Both the youth and the workers criticized Aquino’s K + 12 program as nothing but a method of readying cheap labor before they enter the labor market. Aquino’s projected overspending on infrastructure is not something to crow about either, because these are “designed mainly for tourism and for multinational companies and are not intended to support land reform and national industrialization, thereby creating only very limited employment,” said Jorge “Ka Oris” Madlos, spokesman of National Democratic Front of the PhilippinesMindanao, in a statement. KMU said the condition of workers and the poor has worsened under Aquino, as the real value of wages continues to plunge and contractual labor continues to become more rampant. In the National Capital Region where minimum wages are nominally the highest, Ibon said it has actually shrunk to just 44-percent of the Family Living Wage, compared to being 53-percent ten years ago. Bayan said the people wou ld not be duped by Aquino’s “flashy visuals and speeches because at the end of the day the basic issues of land, jobs, health, human rights and sovereignty are not addressed.” If indeed the country is progressing and the people are reaping the benefits from it, why is the issue of human rights absent from Aquino’s third state of the nation address? This does not bode well for democracy and the human rights situation in the country, the Peoples’ SONA participants warned.

Kadayawan Motocross in Davao all set to go By LITO DELOS REYES, Contributor

DAVAO CITY - This year’s annual Kadayawan sa Dabaw Motocross will now be held for two days on August 18 and 19, 2012 at the MotoX Davao track inside the Davao Crocodile Park in Maa. “We want to give more excitement for our viewers and allow our riders to rest more,” said organizer Bok Mata of MotoX Davao at the SCOOP of the Royal Mandaya Hotel last Tuesday. Mata said that the race track will now be more wider with a distance of one kilometer. “It will be more safer with more flat

areas. But it’s still exciting to watch,” said Mata. This time there will be a separate area for the viewers, racers, sponsors and food stalls. “The race track will be improved similar to the venue of the Gov, Dimaporo International Race held in Lanao”, said Mata. The opening day starts at 1 p.m. to give way for the parade while the second day opens at 10 a.m. The sponsors are Phoenix Petroleum Phils., Kurmat Enterprises, Sankai Japanese Restaurant, Nature’s Spring Water and Colt 45 Beer. At least 150 riders

coming from all over the country are expected to see action. Among those invited are the country’s no. 1 Glenn Aguilar of Manila, no. 2 Donark Yuzon of Iloilo, Ambo Yaparcon of Palawan and Jacob Orbe of La Union. The categories are Pro Open, Expert, Veterans, Novice, Executive, Novice, Beginners, Intermediate, Enduro Open, Enduro four stroke, Pantra, Underbone, Ladies, Pewee 50, Pewee 65 and Mini 85. “The event is again free to the public in celebration of the Kadayawan,” said Mata.

London shows off most expensive Olypmic medals

he most expensive Olympic medals to date is made from eight tons of gold, silver and copper from the mines in Mongolia and Utah are now safe housed at the Tower of London. The medals arrived at the tower July 2 and are now under tight security. 4,700 Olympic and Paralympic medals are now protected and guarded side-by-side Britain’s crown jewels until they will be needed for the awarding

ceremonies. The Tower of London has long protected some of Britain’s most valuable treasures and is now the sanctuary of the 2012 Olympic medals. A gold medal weighing about 410 grams contains only six grams of gold -- 1.34 percent of its weight -- the remainder being silver compound (92.5 percent) and copper. Added to this, the dimensions of the London medals (85

millimetres in diameter and seven millimetres thick) make them the heaviest ever struck for the Summer Olympics. British artist David Watkins designed the medals, which depict Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. The reverse side bears the London Games logo in front of a radiating star motif, representing the spirit and tradition of the Olympics, and the River Thames, for the city of London.

Left photo shows tournament organizers after the recent team captains meeting: (from left) co-chairman Jesus Garcia, advisers Domingo Duerme and Felix Cruz, and chairperson Dina May Flores with tournament director Buddy Resurreccion, and host club general manager Butch Jamerlan.

he second edition of the Philippine Airlines (PAL) Ladies’ Interclub golf championship’s revival has now drawn 29 teams (24 local and five foreign) as the number quickly overtook last year’s entries with still a good two months to go before the event tees off in Iloilo. Australia will be represented in the annual event as the Sta. Barbara layout, listed as the oldest golf course in the Far East, is being spruced up to championship standard for the four-day event. Southwoods will defend the title it won at the expense of Del Monte last year as PAL braces itself for the list-up of more entries. “The club is excited to host the Ladies Interclub,” club manager Butch Jamerlan said as he emphasized the readiness of the 105-year-old layout. “The field will be in for a very different

challenge.” Sta. Barbara is a par-70 course that, when stretched for pro tournaments, can measure up to just a little over 6,400 yards. But Jamerlan is reiterating that Sta. Barbara is not just about bombing it off the tees, as practically every hole requires an accurate tee shot for placements on the fairways to make for the best approaches to its undulating greens. “This course is all about accuracy,” Jamerlan continued. “It doesn’ t necessarily require super long tee shots, but well-placed drives that can reward a player in the end.” Registration is still open with the tournament open to teams made up of eight players. Format calls for a team to field four players each per day with the top three scores counting.
