Armm abolishes fund version of ‘pork barrel’ ZAMB OANGA City––ARMM officer-in-charge Governor Mujiv Hataman on Tuesday signed into law the Muslim Mindanao Act 229, otherwise known as the Public Works Act scrapping the District Impact Funds (DIF), the regionalized version of ‘pork barrel’ fund.

The DIF is equal to the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel of members of Congress.

Disbursement of DIF is at the discretion of members of the ARMM regional assembly. Many suspects the DIF is a source of corruption in the autonomous region.

Hataman said the DIP provision in the annuallypassed regional public works law had been adopted by all past administrations since 1993.

Instead of the regional lawmakers determining their districts’ priority projects, the communities’ need for infrastructure programs and projects will now be established based on assessment and evaluation of the ARMM public works department, the local civil society organizations (CSOs) and people’s organizations as well as the local government units, Hataman said.

“The bidding process will be made open to the public, with representative observers from the CSOs and the media. We will also determine if some local government units are capable of implementing their own infrastructure projects on a localized bidding process, or by administration, if they have the necessary equipment, or with the help of the Army Engineering Battalion in some cases may be,” he said.

The Muslim Mindanao Act 229 provides for the utilization of P 2 billion infrastructure fund program that the national government annually transfers to the ARMM, as required under Republic Act 9054, the Expanded Autonomy Act which serves as the region’s charter.

Assemblywoman Samira Gutoc-Tomawis, who represents the Women Sector, said it would be most welcome for the Filipino people for members of Congress to waive their privilege over PDAF provisions of the national budget, under the annual General Appropriations Act (GAA).

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City reads out loud text messages sent by some of his constituents urging him to push for the approval of House Bill 6050 in a recent hearing conducted by the Committee on Basic Education and Culture. House Bill 6050, of which he is a co-author, establishes Rural Farm Schools as an alternative delivery mode of secondary education in line with the policy of the State to provide education at all levels and establish, maintain, and support a self-learning, independent and out of school study program alternatives that respond to community needs.

Get hold of happiness THINK a minute.

Have you heard of the new emotional sickness called Sudden Wealth Syndrome?

It happens to people who suddenly become rich by winning a big lottery jackpot, inheriting a lot of money, or other quick ways.

But then what these newly rich people often find out is that it doesn’t end up being the happy dream they expected.

They soon discover what many other rich people already know: money can’t buy happiness that lasts.

But that’s just our problem: we think that happiness is something out there that we have to find and get, like money, a position of respect and power, or physical pleasure and fun experiences.

We think we’ll finally

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst be happy after we get out of school or when we get married.

But then even when we do finally get it, we find out it doesn’t last and make us happy for the rest of our lives like we expected.

So how do we get hold of happiness that lasts for a lifetime?

Well, the first big step is we must admit that we’re not totally happy and we need help. But that’s hard for us strong, independent human beings to do!

We’re like the man who came home drunk one night. As his wife helped him into bed she asked him if he wanted her to pray for him.

He nodded yes. So she began: “Dear Lord, I pray for my husband who lies here drunk.” But her husband suddenly interrupted her and said: “Don’t tell Him I’m DRUNK! Just say that I’m…SICK!” In our own heart and conscience we all know that we’ve done things wrong

and failed to live the way we know we should.

We’ve not always lived in a close, right relationship with our Maker, and many of us won’t admit that we’re wrong and have failed.

Neither will we admit that we can’t fix our life and make it right by ourselves. But until we finally face the facts that we’re not completely happy and at peace, our life won’t change.

Yet today, if you’ll sincerely ask Jesus to forgive you for all your wrongs and living your way; then ask Him to take full control of your life every day, you’ll finally have peace with your Maker and the satisfying life you should be enjoying.

So why not finally get hold of happiness that lasts?

You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Just Think a Minute.

Mindanao welcomes Rufus as CJ REP. Rufus B. Rodriguez, 2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City, has accepted the nomination as possible next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Two weeks ago, Sen. Chiz Escudero was in Mindanao. In one of his speaking engagements in the island, Escudero wished a nominee coming from Mindanao.

A certain Nicasio Tan endorsed Rodriguez as nominee to the high Cris Diaz court’s post. Rufus later told this corner that he would confer with his constituents on the nomination. Yesterday, a staff from Rufus congressional district sent an email confirming Rufus’ acceptance of the nomination.

Of course, Rufus is one among the 70 or more qualified nominee as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

However, with malice to none, Rufus should not have accepted the nomination. He knows for the fact that the next CJ has long been decided. Sending his impressive credentials to the JBC would not change the choice earlier decided. Rufus should have politely declined the nomination. After all, Rufus non-acceptance of the nomination would not mean that he did not welcome it. On the other hand, Rufus non-acceptance would mean that he has yet to complete his term in Congress.

Rufus has three more years in Congress if he will win in an election next year. If Rufus gets the CJ post, he will definitely resign as Congressman. His resignation as

Congressman would be a loss to the people of Cagayan de Oro in particular and Congress in general.

With a record of accomplishment with the most number of bills and resolutions filed and becoming into law, without Rufus, Congress would loss one of the country’s brilliant legislators. Besides, Rufus knows that the selection of CJ is tainted these days.

He knows that the JBC will submit only three nominees for the President’s final approval. With more than 70 nominees who are equally qualified, the possible identities of three names in the short list could be easily determined. They are Acting CJ Antonio Carpio, Justice Secretary Laila Delima, and one from among the six incumbent nominees from the Supreme Court.

Delima is likely to be shortlisted since her sudden resignation from the JBC board on the last day of the filing of possible nominees was doubtful. Being the most senior member of the high court and being the acting CJ, Antonio Carpio’s selection to the post was also predestined. However, if Carpio is not installed, Delima would be there as the JBC choice.

It is unfortunate that politics has sip into the Supreme Court’s chamber. It is sad, that nothing in the country’s history that the integrity of the Supreme Court becomes an object of doubt than in recent time. Lawmakers like Miriam Defensor Santiago understand the predicament that she declined the nomination as much as Sen. Franklin Drilon did. As far as Rufus becoming the high court’s CJ, it will definitely come – not this time.

The need for quality leaders THE Philippines, as an independent country, has been in existence for quite sometimes now --- to be precise about sixty six years from July 4, 1946. This is the date the American government gave us our Independence shortly after World War II. Since then our existence has not been hampered by anything much less war with foreign countries or whatever. We lived peacefully with the blessings of God. Our country produced great leaders ever since. We had honest politicians, hardworking and determined to help build a nation. We had terrific Presidents from the very beginning and we also had not so terrific leaders.

Just the same we existed in peace amidst serious

The Striker

Ben Emata Jr. problems that naturally went side by side with development. The country was well and was one of the best among Asian countries.

I don’t know how it happened but we had bad leaders along the way. We had politicians who were not oriented well of the things that had to be done and ended up in blank wall.

We had leaders who thought being in the government is one sure way

to be wealthy, never mind who suffer for it. Some of them thought politics is for them regardless of its consequence.

Of course, we had leaders too who had nothing in mind but honesty and seriousness in their job.

Some of these kind of leaders were just honorable and deserving of reward from the general constituents.

They closed their eyes to serve and offered sacrifice

in the name of good government and success. They are the honorable leaders the Filipinos need so much.

Today, as we enter the threshold of modernization and advances, we see more and more unqualified leaders who sit in their swivel chairs doing nothing but shames and dishonor.

They got elected because the country has contacted a disease of vote-buying.

Some of them engaged all sorts of political ventures that are not only ugly and unattractive but specifically malicious and immoral.

Then we came to the present leaders who got rich in a few years in power. They cannot lose anymore in any election because they have LEADERS/PAGE 9

Secretar y Robredo stressed his sentiments during the inauguration of the Alubijid Public Market Improvement and Rehabilitation Project, June 21, this year.

It was noted that aside from the Items to Bid, Bid Results on Civil Works and Goods and Services, Abstract of Bids as Calcu-

lated and other budget and financial documents, which municipalities are required to post in three conspicuous places, Alubijid went beyond by posting the bill of materials and cost estimates of the Public Market Improvement and Rehabilitation Project within the market premises itself.

The project was made

possible, through the P1 million Performance Challenge Fund that Alubijid LGU got for qualifying in the 2011 Seal of Good Housekeeping, a Department initiative motivating LGUs to value good governance practices.

The project was blessed

by Monsignor Elmer Abacahin of the Holy Cross Parish of Alubijid. (AMM/asf)

DILG-10 Director Rene K. Burdeos said, SALINTUBIG is one of the flagship programs of the Aquino Administration aimed at addressing Millennium Development Goal (MDG) No. 7, which reduces by 50% the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015 in 455 waterless municipalities all over the country.

Also targeting the waterless barangays, rural health units or lying-in clinics and resettlement sites, the program provides funding to identified beneficiaryLGUs in grant form.

The municipalities of Kalilangan, Bukidnon and Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental are also beneficiaries of the SALINTUBIG. (ACWF/asf)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT God knows what’s best for us, so why should we complain? We always want the sunshine, but he knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter and the merriment of cheer, but our hearts will lose their tenderness if we never shed a tear. God tests us often with suffering and sorrow. He teaches us not punish us, but to help us meet tomorrow. So, whenever we’re in trouble and everything goes wrong, it is just God working on us to make our spirit strong.

BUKIDNON - In a move to effectively deal with hazards and disasters in the province, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) has come up with clear disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) guidelines and framework.

Done through the workshop on July 3 and 4 in Cagayan de Oro City, the guidelines were based on the situational analysis conducted earlier by the Mines and Geo-sciences Bureau (MGB).

Provincial DRRM Officer Arsenio Alagenio said the provincial government needed a collective effort to craft strategic plans for humaninduced or natural disasters in order to reduce risk and

better management, in terms of disaster preparedness, prevention and mitigation, response, rehabilitation and recovery.”

The strategy advocates for adoption of a self-reliance policy in each vulnerable community that comprise capability building and allocation of resources.

It also underscores involvement and active participation of the people in disaster reduction, prevention and preparedness, leading to improved risk management.

Trainers were from the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), MGB and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

The provincial government of Bukidnon, through its calamity fund backed the two-day training. (RLRB, PIA Bukidnon/asf)

PISCES. Today is not a favourable time for travelling or doing business. Your state of confusion and diminished practical sense may lead to failure. Your love relationship will be good, provided you are willing to pay more attention to your loved one’s needs. Try not to avoid communicating, or you will be misunderstood!

Two top tourist destinations are in Normin SEVERAL studies have been conducted to theorize the complex links that exist between the tourism industry and processes of economic development.

The study conducted by Milne and Ateljevic ( 2001) took the readers to the past three decades and allowed them to reach the conclusion with a discussion of the ‘new’ economic geography of tourism, in which cultural and economic boundaries are being transcended across a variety of scales.

Other studies pointed out the importance of investigating the relationship between destination image and destination personality which were found to be related concepts, while the rest described the trends in developing traveler destination choice models which covered important issues in need of resolution for making advances in understanding, describing and predicting tourist decisionmaking .

What lies ahead of the tourism industry entails more qualitative review of tourist decision-making literature.

However, findings of the 2010 Household Survey on Domestic Visitors (HSDV) conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO) generated vital data/ information which may be considered for planning and inputs in the analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats on the tourism industry in this

When Statistics Speak Salvador A. Aves, Ph.D, DM part of the country.

The 2010 Household Survey on Domestic Visitors (HSDV) aimed to gather data on household information on domestic tourism that are vital to the effective and efficient development and implementation of tourism plans and programs.

The data sought to provide core indicators on domestic tourism for policy-making purposes.

The survey yielded results that about 23.1 million Filipinos who are 15 years old and above have travelled within the country from April 1 to September 30, 2010. These domestic travelers represent 36.6 percent of the estimated 63.2 million Filipinos who are 15 years old and over. In 2010, about 42,000 domestic trips were reported by the 23.1 million travelers, and 42,400 places were visited within the country.

It is interesting to note that 53.3 percent were trips for pleasure or vacation followed by visit to friends or relatives and attendance to family gatherings with 36.9 percent.

The NSO, in another report, said that during that year, 1, 864 establishments

or 60.4 percent operated under Activities of Tour and Travel Agencies. The report was lifted from the results of the first-ever 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Philippines (STEP). The survey collected information on the available supply of tourism goods, products and services that are needed in the compilation of the Philippine Tourism Satellite Account (PTSA).

As revealed in the findings of the HSDV, two of the most frequently visited places in Mindanao are seen in the Northern Mindanao Region. These are in particular the provinces of Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental.

Lanao del Norte obtained a total of 745,000 domestic travelers. Out of these total travelers, Lanao del Norte acquired a total of 457,000 domestic travelers whose purpose is for pleasure or vacation.

On the other hand, Misamis Oriental garnered a total of 806,000 domestic travelers. It received a total of 335,000 domestic travelers whose purpose is for pleasure or vacation.

Such findings strengthened the description ascribed

The new school academic year IT is now the new school academic year in Indonesia and some parents are busy with their children education. For public schools or government schools, the school fee is free or it is free of charge as referred to the government project of Wajar 12 (Wajib Belajar or Compulsory study) for the children. This government program is designed for making public schools free of charge.

Wajar 12 means that the schools start from 6 years of primary schools, 6 years secondary schools (3 years junior high schools and 3 years senior high schools).

But, for the parents who want to send their children to private schools, they have to pay in different tariffs. These tariffs depend on the condition of each school. This can be identified by the qualified teachers, qualified teaching aids, and some educational process equipment.

According to UndangUndang or the Act concerning the national education system or regulation, all the children are obligatory to study at least during 12 years as mentioned above.

This is also compulsory for the parents to send their children to schools. Thus,

DR. DJUWARI STIE Perbanas (College of Economics and Business) Surabaya, Indonesia the government has policy trying to provide the nation with proper education. This is called Wajar 12, meaning that during 12 years of school age, children should go to schools.

Based on the quality and favorite school consideration, the school fee can start from quite affordable to the more expensive. The more favorite school is, the more expensive the school fee is. These parents are those who do not want to get burden with some red tapes implemented in school admission procedures.

For example, if their address is not the same as that of the school’s address, they cannot automatically register their children. This is because, in the beginning, some regional governments

stipulated that the registers should have the same address as the schools areas.

For those who are from different areas are given only one percent of the quota.

This can also happen in certain regional governments.

A n ot h e r pro c e du re is that, the public school admission requires the registers that they should get their minimum school examination grade average from the previous schools.

This grade average is based on the national examination— the so called Unas (Ujian Nasional). The minimum grade average required is different from one school to another. Of course, it depends on the quality or favorite schools.

The more quality or favorite the schools are the higher the grade average they require for the registers to submit.

The parents who send their children to private schools must be different from those who send their children to public schools.

For example, the parents who send their children to the private schools can choose which schools wherever they are located. They just calculate the school SCHOOL/PAGE 9

to Northern Mindanao as the eco-tourism hub of the Philippines because of its diverse environmental and cultural heritage(http:// dfatip.ph/index.php/whereto-go/southphl/region10).

Indeed, the region is proud of its tourist spots which cover the pristine beauty of the paradise island of Camiguin whose coastline alternates between black or white sand beaches and volcanic rocks, Bukidnon’s plateau cut by the deep and wide canyons, the beautiful twin falls of Maria Cristina Falls of Iligan City, the Dolphin Island in Sinacaban, the famous water rafting in Cagayan de Oro City.

The city, and the renowned Divine Mercy Shrine at City of El Salvador at Misamis Oriental which is only 30 minutes away from Cagayan de Oro City.

With such development, Northern Mindanao will have its own contribution to the tourism industry and realization of the statement of the Tourism Secretary, Hon. Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez Jr. when he said: “When the industry exceeds expectations as it had done last year, we feel very encouraged. And with the overwhelming response to our new brand campaign launched last month, we know that we have broken ground on crowd sourcing.

The people’s campaign will help bring more numbers.”

Editor’s Note: The article below is a rejoinder of Mr. Arnold P. Tejero, principal 1 of the schools division of Cagayan de Oro, on the opinion of Dr. Salvador A. Aves, the regional director of the National Statistics Office (NSO) in Region 10, entitled “The state of education in Northern Mindanao: improving or declining?” which was published in Mindanao Daily News and its sister publication, the BusinessWeek Mindanao.

Reflection

By ARNOLD P.TEJERO

THE author in his parting line, referring to the issue at hand stated, “This may not sound new but these are the realities that we have to face after knowing where we stand.”

The statement for me implies two important things; first, it is a public knowledge that illiteracy continue to exist in the Philippines despite the Department of Education’s advocacy of Education For All (EFA).

Second, that the National Statistics’ (NSO) authentic data gathered through scientific means, must somehow serve as a sounding alarm and a goading staff for the government to exhaust all possible means to minimize if not zero-in illiteracy not just in Northern Mindanao but across the entire peninsula.

More than the alarming interpreted data on the rate of illiteracy is that which indicated the reason for not schooling as “lack of interest.” It is very sad to note that despite the current trend of technology boom, there exist a sizeable percentage of people who tend to hide and resist rather than go out and embrace information technology.

Again, this can be attributed to lack of self esteem for lack, to no schooling.

The question then would be, where shall the accusing finger be pointed, the government who is trying hard but fails to satisfactorily provide the needs of its people, or the latter who settles for less capitalizing on his financial and social handicap, being a member of the depressed, deprived and underserved community?

Taking the question literally and metaphorically, a mother has to provide the basic needs of her baby in order to nurture his complex and delicate body or else he will grow sickly or even succumb to death. In the same manner as the government, as mandated by law- the constitution, must first provide the basic needs of its people so that they will grow independent, self-reliant and productive citizens.

Another threatening issue is the interpreted result stipulating that there is higher literacy rate among women than men and higher college completion rate among women than men.

This means that there will be increase in the number of working mothers that REFLECTION/PAGE 9

monitoring the situation,” he said.

But Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda denied the report which was also published by The Manila Times on Sunday and also by the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner on Monday.

“I spoke to (Defense) Secretary (Voltaire) Gazmin and (Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff) General (Jessie) Dellosa and I got a response from the spokesperson. Let me read the response of the spokesperson, AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) spokesperson, and this is Colonel (Arnulfo) Boyet Burgos - Colonel Jose Cenabre denies giving a statement with the Mindanao Examiner regarding initiatives in arresting Jordanian journalist

(Baker) Atyani and charging him with espionage.”

“As far as the AFP is concerned, he is safe but in the hands of an armed group.

And that’s what the position is. So he has not spoken to…

Mr. Cenabre denies giving an interview with…or giving that statement to Mindanao Examiner,” Lacierda said.

The Mindanao Examiner maintained that Cenabre has given a statement to the press about arresting Atyani for espionage. “We would like to put on record that Col. Jose Johriel Cenabre, the deputy commander of naval forces in southern Philippines, has spoken to the Mindanao Examiner about the military’s order to arrest Jordanian journalist Baker Abdullah Atyani for espionage,” it said.

And as our slogan says: “We write the truth, without fear or favour, to bring you the news and images from the Southern Philippines,” it added.

Atyani has gone inside camps of the Abu Sayyaf along with his two Filipino assistants Rolando Letrero and Ramelito Vela on June 12 after an emissary fetched them at their hostel in Jolo town.

There were also reports in Sulu that Atyani was taken hostage and that militants are demanding huge ransom.

Other reports claimed Atyani was a conduit for the Abu Sayyaf and that the ransom demand was only a cover to hide the flow of funding to

the terror group, including Jemaah Islamiya, blamed for the string of attacks and bombings in the Philippines.

Military and police said Atyani arrived in Sulu on June 11 and went to the Abu Sayyaf the next day to secretly interview terror leaders and other rebel commanders, including Jemaah Islamiya militants hiding on the island.

The Jordanian journalist had made prior arrangement with the Abu Sayyaf to film a documentary about the terror group. Authorities said Atyani also deceived local officials after he claimed to be filming government projects in Sulu, one of five provinces under the Muslim autonomous region.

Atyani, who had previously interviewed al-Qaeda terror leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan months before the September 11, 2001 at-

Jordan insisted the trio was kidnapped, but Robredo and other security officials denied this and said Atyani’s group went to meet with terrorists on their own volition and despite being prevented by the police and military.

The military’s Western Mindanao Command said Atyani had previously filmed in secret the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu province. “Atyani had been in and out of Sulu in the past and secretly interviewing terrorist leaders,” said Lt. Col. Colonel Randolph Cabangbang, a regional army spokesman.

“Atyani is not a hostage and in fact there is no indication that any crime or complaint is evident. The only established fact is that he is freely moving around with the ASG. The AFP also received similar reports from the ground,” Abdulmajid said.

Provincial officials had repeatedly warned Atyani against interviewing the Abu Sayyaf, but the trio went ahead and secretly met with terrorist leaders, among them Nadzmie Alih.

already the power of money, influence and goons.

It is easier for them to multiply their followers. The people have nothing to do but say aye and follow to their wishes and desires.

This is ridiculous of course, but there is nothing we can.

We need to hire more auditors in the government service. We need to audit each leaders. We must know their assets or properties and compare them against their income. It is easy to apprehend these thieves in the service if we are serious about our campaign against corruption. We need straightforward politicians to lead our system for success, development and growth.

will consequently neglect their parental guidance and marital disputes related to income and low self-worth among men that would definitely boil down to the quality of child rearing.

This writer fully agrees with Dr. Salvador Aves that taking the view from the economic perspective, literacy and schooling have been proven to significantly affect individual income.

Accordingly, empirical evidences show that formal education is highly instrumental and even necessary in improving the production capacity of a nation.

On the contrary, illiteracy limits the full development of an individual and his active participation in the society and restricts his access to the benefits of development.

Simply put, economy and education are inseparable components of nation building. The former is almost the determinant of education while the latter certainly serves as a booster of economy.

With the two components dynamically present in a community, the government’s desire of providing Education For All not just in this part of the map but in the entire nation as a whole, will no longer be a mere dream but a reality that has gained an equilibrium of a stable economy and quality education for every Filipino.

finance for transportation and the “down payment” of the school participation money for education process. Beside, they also have to pay the school fee every month during the school period.

Unfortunately, not all parents can afford to pay that much money and therefore, these parents should succeed in sending their children to public schools.

For these people, whatever regulation or red tape they are facing, they still insist on sending their children to public schools.

The government has good project of Wajar 12 but the implementation still needs improvement.

This can be related to collaboration with the regional governments in terms of regulation. Since there is a regional government autonomy implementation, there are always some problems dealing with different regulations among the regional governments.

By doing so, the Wajar 12 projects can be of good solution to decreasing the school leavers or dropouts.

The regional government budget allocation and parents’ participation in sending their children can also be used as reference for making the project come true. If everything has succeeded, this program can be used as benchmark by other nations with the same problem in basic education for their school age children.

Plant site preparation has started last April 2012 contracted by First Balfour, Inc. Target date of commercial operations for the first 150-MW generating unit is set on March 31, 2015.

The Ther ma S out h power project will generate at least 20,000 direct and indirect jobs for about 37 months of construction period.

“Anticipating tight-

ness in the power supply in Mindanao, the Aboitiz Power is committed to do what it takes to build the Therma South power project at the soonest possible time,” Aboitiz power president and CEO Erranon Aboitiz said during the signing of contract.

“We will continue to invest in power generation projects to support the growth of Mindanao today and the future,” he added.

local ordinances were all falsified because the alleged petitioners signatures were falsified. He, however, did not elaborate.

Since they were all faked, it did not come from the true sentiments of the people concerned, said the opposition councilor.

Abaday is apparently referring to Proposed resolution No. 2012-484 under agenda no. 7-a earnestly requesting the Commission on Election en banc to immediately schedule the conduct of a referendum for the creation of Barangay JR Borja as a separate and distinct political unit from Barangay Balulang.

The other four ordinances which Abaday is opposing are: • Proposed resolution No. 2012-485 under agenda 7-b for the creation of Barangay Mcanhan and Carmen 1 as a separate and distinct political unit from Carmen; • Proposed resolution no. 2012-486 under agenda

7-c for the creation of Barangay Bongbongon from Kauswagan; • Proposed resolution no.

2012-487, 7-d for Lapasan South from Lapasan and proposed ordinance no.

2012-488, 7-e for Baloy from Tablon.

However, councilor Alvin Calingin told Abaday that the ordinances have already been approved.

“Abaday must seek first an approval of the repealing ordinance,” said Calingin as he moves that Abaday’s statements be stricked off from the record.

But Abaday fights back saying: “Deleting my statements from the record of this council is not proper.

There is no basis whatsoever.”

He told councilor during last Tuesday’s regular session that no one can dictate him on what to do and what to say in the city council.

Injuries mar US selection of NBA stars to Olympic team INJURIES to Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose and Chris Bosh have left the US Olympic team of NBA stars hurting as they gather to prepare to defend gold at the London Olympics.

The idea was to blend the best of talent from the 2008 Olympic champion and 2010 world champion squads into a formidable favored side for London, but injury setbacks have taken away two star big men in Howard and Bosh.

Six players have been lost from the original set of finalists, leaving 16 others to fill 12 Olympic spots and a July 7 deadline, two days after the US training camp opens, for US coach Mike Krzyzewski to name a final roster.

“It is obvious why we have built

a pool of players over the last seven years to take care of situations like these,” Krzyzewski said. “This opens up opportunities for other players in the pool to show their talents.”

Wade and Bosh helped lead the Miami Heat to the NBA title last month but Wade will require knee surgery. Doctors told Bosh not to play in the Olympics because he could aggravate an abdominal strain that sidelined him during the playoffs.

Orlando’s Howard suffered a back injury during the season and Rose, last year’s NBA Most Valuable Player, tore a left knee ligament in Chicago’s first playoff game.

Chauncey Billups of the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge are also out with injuries.

Top draft pick Anthony Davis is also

doubtful after injuring his ankle.

The Americans remain a formidable lineup led by LeBron James of the Heat, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant plus Russell Westbrook and James Harden of NBA Finals runner-up Oklahoma City.

But New York’s Tyson Chandler and Minnesota’s Kevin Love are the top big men remaining after the injuries.

Other US candidates include New York’s Carmelo Anthony, Brooklyn’s Deron Williams, Lamar Odom of Dallas, and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The United States looks for a fifth title in six tries since NBA talent debuted with the 1992 US “Dream Team” at Barcelona.

American Serena Williams celebrates her women’s singles quarterfinal victory over Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova at the All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London. Photo supplied

Defending champ Kvitova vowed to Williams, 6-3,7-5 LOND ON––Four-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams reached the semifinals at the All England Club on Tuesday with a 6-3, 7-5 defeat of defending champion Petra Kvitova.

The US sixth seed brought all her experience to bear as she punished the Czech title-holder for missing a chance to take the second set.

The 30-year-old came through her quarter-final in an hour and 24 minutes under the Centre Court roof.

She faces either Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, the Belarusian second seed, or in-form unseeded Austrian Tamira Paszek in the semis.

“She’s been playing so well on grass, hasn’t lost since last year, so that was tough,” Williams said of Kvitova.

“I have absolutely nothing to lose so it’s really fun.

I’m having the time of my life out here and enjoying

every moment. It’s exciting.

However, Serena knows she will have to step up another gear in the semi-finals.

“I’m going to have to if I want to win the title. There’s a lot of people vying for it still,” she added.

She said a fifth Wimbledon singles title was “definitely something that I’ve thought about.”

It is only the second time she has reached a Grand Slam semi-final since winning the 2010 Wimbledon title.

Williams had won her previous two encounters with Kvitova, both in 2010, knocking the 22-year-old left-hander out of the Australian Open second round and the Wimbledon semifinals.

The pair were the only two champions left in the draw after the first round exit of Serena’s sister Venus, and world number one Maria Sharapova in the last 16.
