DAR-13 surpasses 2011 land-distribution target

By PAT SAMONTE, MDN regional editor for Caraga region

PHOTO BY GERRY L. GORIT Former Rep. Cynthia Villar is welcomed as guest of honor by Cagagayan de Oro Mayor Vicente Y. Emano to the city’s 62nd charter day celebration Friday morning. With them are City Prosecutor Fidel Macauyag, and National Commission on Muslim Filipinos Regional Director Atty. Ogie Gadamra. The affair was held at the Divisoria Park, center of the city.

BUTUAN City––The Department of Agrarian Reform in Caraga had topped its land-distribution projection last year recording 8,635 hectares or 102 percent of 8,444 hectares target.

DAR-13 director Faisar Mambuay revealed that while the department’s accomplished only 54.6 percent of the national target of 200,000 hectares, Caraga has consistently maintained the feat of surpassing regional targets for the past 11 years.

The occasion was the 24th anniversary of the signing by the late Presi-

dent Corazon Aquino of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law which became the foundation of the government’s centerpiece social justice program – the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program.

Mambuay said Region 13 brought CARP’s success with all its components including land tenure improvement, program beneficiaries development and agrarian justice delivery.

He said the 8,635 hectares of land distributed in 2011 benefited 5,139 farmers and brought a cumulative

“We are hoping that the new policy will reinforce environmental protection and ensure more inclusive economic and employment growth, particularly for communities around mine

sites,” Cebu Rep. Eduardo Gullas said.

“We have to secure our fragile environment at all times,” he said, adding that mining communities should not only be kept safe, but

should also benefit to the greatest extent from the exploitation of mineral resources in their areas.

Gullas made the statement shortly after Environment Secretary Ramon Paje said he expects President Aquino to sign a new mining policy in the next few days.

Meanwhile, Gullas cited Philex Mining Corp. and POLICY/PAGE 11

total of 235,752 hectares involving 112,292 Caraga farmer beneficiaries or 90 percent of the region’s target.

In agrarian justice delivery, DAR-13 resolved 1,607 quasi-judicial cases, 7,491 agrarian law implementation cases and 1,588 mediation cases. The regional adjudication board led by Atty. Abeto Salcedo resolved 2,393 cases or 148 percent of target cases covering 6,958 hectares affecting 3,247 agrarian reform beneficiaries and 127 landowners, he said.

Armed men torch mining firm’s equipment in Agnor

By PAT SAMONTE and JOEL PORTUGAL

BUTUAN City––An undetermined number of armed men burned heavy equipment and machineries of a mining company in Barangay Mahaba, Cabadbaran City Friday.

say he wants to win more than the next man, than anyone on OKC. But obviously he wants to get this opportunity and seize it better than he did the first two times.”

Wade senses a different James and believes Durant is flushing out the finest in his teammate so far.

“I’m glad he has this challenge because it’s making him focus more,” said Wade. “I’d rather for him to guard Kevin than DeShawn Stevenson like last year, where he wasn’t as involved. With Kevin, you have to have your antenna up at all times. It’s bringing out the best in both of them.”

There’s also a challenge as well for Durant, who can’t afford to relax on either end simply because the man in front of him won’t allow it.

“I like what Kevin is about.

He’s a scoring champion who wants to be that two-way player,” said OKC coach Scott Brooks. “We know LeBron is not easy to guard.

That’s something Kevin has taken upon himself to tackle.”

Yes, in addition to winning a championship, both are bent on changing perceptions, and once again, James has more at stake.

His approach this postseason seems sharper than a year ago, perhaps caused by the public whacks he took along the way.

And also because of the way he came up empty against Dallas,

Jo s e B o b by G a rc i a Guingging, 51, operation manager of Satya Mineral Trading, told police the armed men raided the mining firm’s equipment yard in Sitio Subayon in Barangay Mahaba at around 2 pm and set on fire a bulldozer, a generator, a weld-

ing machine, two Metabo drills, three water pumps, a pressurized pump, two chainsaws, and a plastic hose.

Cabadbaran police investigators were thoroughly looking into the case to determine the identities raiders.

when his flaws were exposed and laughed at. For example, James didn’t attack the basket as relentlessly he’s doing now. At one point, the Mavericks put J.J. Barea on James, the equivalent of a poodle on a timid pit bull, a strategy that seems unthinkable now. But that’s how weak James’ post-up game was, and how flimsy his confidence was a year ago, when he settled for jumpers and flamed out in the fourth quarters.

“For me it’s all about aggression,” he said. “I just try to get into the paint and make things happen, create for myself, create for others and put some pressure on their defense. That’s what my game is built around. It’s about being aggressive and taking what the defense gives me.”

The NBA’s popularity is built on classic matchups, but these matchups must happen in the postseason, or even better, the Finals, in order to grip an audience. The gold standard is and perhaps always will be Magic Johnson-Larry Bird in the ‘80s because those players helped rescue the league from the dark ages, when the Finals were once on tape delay. And those Finals were never short on drama and unforgettable moments.

A few other matchups followed: Michael Jordan-Charles Barkley, Jordan-Clyde Drexler, even Jordan-Magic. But those were mildly disappointing because Jordan’s dominance removed all

doubt and suspense fairly quickly.

James-Durant, though, is a coin toss so far. Nobody knows what the outcome might be, which of course will only keep the audience curious and coming back for more.

This doesn’t dismiss the team concept or the chance that other players might ultimately hit bigger shots or make more important plays than James and Durant. Russell Westbrook is certainly capable, and Wade of course.

“When I watched the Finals growing up,” said Durant, “it was always guys like Robert Horry hitting big shots, Derek Fisher hitting big shots. Guys came in off the bench and contributed and that’s what I remember. I remember a team against a team. It’s a team game and the best team is going to win.”

Yes. Miami or OKC will own the trophy. The best way for that to happen is for James or Durant to put their team in position to win, as they’re doing right now.

They haven’t been perfect, far from it, actually. Durant was mostly absent in the lopsided first half of Game 2 when Miami broke away, and James misfired on shots in the fourth quarter of both games.

But as we see, they’re working hard on making this as perfect a series as possible, for them, and certainly for us.

MESSAGE TO FELLOW AGUSANONS!

ON THE VILLALON RANCH ISSUE

Implement status quo: Zubiri

By ED N. MALIZA Correspondent

MALAYBLAY City––Immediately after receipt of DENR Secretary’s status quo memorandum, Vice Governor Jose Ma. R. Zubiri Jr. told lumads and representatives of Villalon Ranch to obey the order.

On April 30, 2012, DENR Secretary Ramon Paje issued an order, ordering DENR-10 regional executive director Corazon Galinato to implement a status quo order.

“In this regard, you are hereby given CLEARANCE to implement your recommendations and to issue a Status Quo Order that would mean no further expansion of present area occupied and cultivated by qualified PADATA and for Dr. Ernesto Villalon to refrain from making any activities within the area,” Paje in his April 30 memorandum ordered Galinato.

In a meeting with the parties Wednesday duly attended by PENRO here Felix Mirasol, Zubiri said that they should respect the order.

“Gaawayan man na ninyo ang yuta nga dili pa man na inyo. We have here the order ordering that we should only up to status quo so be it,” Zubiri told Dr. Villalon with his lawyer Claver Areño and Vilma Monera who represented the Lumads.

“I believe the status quo they are referring to would mean that the lumads must go back to their respective areas occupied but were driven out by force by the security guards and goons of the Villalon Ranch sometime last year. However, I will go to Manila and talk to Sec. Paje so a clearer interpretation could be achieved,” Zubiri lamented.

Mirasol, on his part said that the lumads can continue their respective cultivation within the land area provided there would be no expansion.

“I believe status quo on this issue means the actual tiller and occupants can continue to cultivate and occupy their respective areas, but, they should not however be barred from visiting the areas where their plants are located. Am referring to the plants planted by the lumads before they were driven out by force as reported,” Mirasol blatantly said. championship in the last 2012 WVRAA meet, held at Panaad Park and Sports Stadium, by claiming both the elementary and secondary divisions.

The vice-governor however replied: “We will wait for the clearer interpretation of the status quo”.

Dr. Villalon, on his part said he is very much willing to respect the status quo order.

“When I went to the DENR-10 regional office, I told them that good that there is that order, fine!

Natingala man lang gud ko nga pagkadawat nila sa status quo order, nanglampas na man hinoon kini sila ug nag-expand,” the doctor said.

The doctor, however is amenable to respect whatever decision the Court of Appeals will render.

“Remember this Dr. Villalon. If the decision of the Court of Appeals will favor the lumads, you can never use any single square meter of the land area. Unless, the Lumads will allow you to rent for a ranch,” Zubiri said.

www.mindanaodailybalita.com

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - True to its mission in establishing a technology policy environment that ensures sustainable agriculture in the rural areas, the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) in cooperation with Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Unit 10 (DA-RFU 10) held a Regional Vermicompost Congress for the beneficiaries of the Organic Fertilizer Production Project (OFPP) on May 31 to June 1, 2012 at De Luxe Hotel this city.

OFPP aimed to reduce cost on farm inputs and promote the production of chemical-free agricultural products. In 2011, 119 vermi composting facilities were distributed all over the region and were able to produce 591,894 kilograms of organic fertilizer as of May 2012.

Primarily, the congress aimed to review and assess project accomplishment that will merit the

importance and benefits of vermicast and other organic fertilizers. Furthermore, it is also geared towards aligning future programs, federating or creating an association/ organization among organic fertilizer producers in the region. This would also be a good venue for discussion of market opportunities and a juncture for integrating skills and approaches relevant to the efficacy of implementation, monitoring and policy adoption in merging government projects.

The RA10068 or the Organic Agriculture act of 2010’s updates and salient features were imparted to the PAO, MAO, focal persons and project coordinators from the local government units in the region, people’s organizations and other agri-stakeholders. The policies, regulations and requirements of Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) on organizing a cooperative/association were

To sustain the implementation and to ensure a potential market for organic fertilizers, BSWM-OFPP Head Mercedes Fernando announced that they are launching the Expanded Modified Rapid Composting (EMRC) Project in the region.

BSWM will apply the buy-back scheme in the

project wherein they will purchase organic fertilizers produced by the organized OFPP beneficiaries at P 250.00 per bag to complement the implementation of EMRC. Expanded Modified Rapid Composting is a project that supports rice farmers in using farm residues such as rice stalks combined

with organic fertilizer from vermicompost and judicious use of inorganic fertilizer in farming. The beneficiary of this project is given 10 bags of vermicast for the organic fertilizer during land preparation.

Thus, OFPP beneficiaries organized themselves into a federation per province and presented their plans to

further the development of the project in their respective areas. On the other hand, provinces of Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte also elected officers for their federations and took their oath of office with BSWMOFPP Head Mercedes S. Fernando. # (VANESSA MAE S. SIANO, DA-RAFID 10)

Local pizza store allots P2-m for expansion CEBU’S homegrown pizza business Acha Pizzeria is spending P2 million to expand this year as demand for their pizzas increases.

Acha Pizzeria manager and marketing head Michael James Orozco said on Monday they would open an alfresco pizza store in Talisay and Mandaue cities to cater to what he described as un-served demand in the area.

“Despite tough competition, there is a market of pizza business in Cebu. The fact that we are expanding explains the unserved demand of pizzas in some areas here,” Orozco said.

He said the planned expansions were among the major moves the company would embark since his family assumed ownership and management of the pizza business.

Acha Pizzeria was started by Lito Acha seven years ago. In July 2009, the Orozco family, who hails from Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte, took over business as the Achas were migrating to the United States. The two families are friends.

The Orozco family bought the business for P900,000 from its original price of P1.3 million.

“The (Acha family) still have remaining shares in the business, but majority is owned by us. They still help us look after the business and act as consultants since they have more experience running a food and restaurant business,” Orozco said.

The Orozco family is into apartment rental in Siargao.

Orozco, who used to work in one of the big resort hotels in Cebu, left corporate life to manage the pizza business.

Acha Pizzeria is located on Osmena Boulevard. It currently employs five workers. Its specialty is Pizza Tricia, a 12-inch three-layered pizza sold at P345. Other pizza flavors range from P135-P345. Aside from pizzas, PIZZA/PAGE 11

Business Primavera Residences Tower ready for turn over www.mindanaodailybalita.com

TOWER A of the Primavera Residences twin tower condominium project is ready for turn over to unit buyers this month.

As a green building, Primavera Residences applies state-of-the-art energy saving facilities and construction design that offer at least 20% reduction in energy consumption.

The Italian-designed 10-storey eco-friendly condominiums are constructed along the principles of sustainable architecture such as generating its own energy through solar cells at its rooftop, minimizing power usage, and maximizing natural light and ventilation.

Primavera Residences is located in the Pueblo de Oro Township in Uptown Cagayan de Oro (CdeO), one of the city’s booming new growth areas.

It is strategically positioned with a major shop-

ping mall, top schools, and a championship golf course only a short distance away.

In addition, the Township’s elevation, stable water supply from the Pueblo de Oro’s own water system and advantageous location with an interconnected electrical distribution system loop of Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company (CEPALCO) ensuring constant power supply, fueled the very high demand for uptown properties, contributing to the fast sales rate of products found in the Pueblo de Oro Township as 2011 ended.

Since the completion of its foundation in November 2010, the value of Primavera property has substantially appreciated with prices for the condominium units having increased by at least 12%.

This is double the increase for similar projects in the industry, a huge factor

Editor: ALLAN MEDIANTE • Email: amediante@yahoo.com

why there are now only few units left in Tower A. Primavera Residences is owned and developed

by ItalPinas, which has an established track record in green architecture and design.

The company has received numerous awards including recognition from CTI-PFAN Philippines for the business plan of Primavera Residences and a Special Energy Award in the 2011 Design Against the Elements global architectural design competition.

Last November, Primavera Residences was one of the four nominees from projects all over the country for the Best Condo Development in the Philippines 2011 in the prestigious South East Asia Property Awards held in Singapore.

ItalPinas is also a sustaining member of the Philippine Green Building Council.

Duka Bay Resort: Unspoiled and serene AWAY FROM MANILA’S maddening headlines. Away from appointments. Away from snarling traffic hurdles and those swarms of jeepneys.

I discovered my Eden at Duka Bay Resort in the town of Medina, Misamis Oriental.

At Duka Bay Resort, an eagle’s view captures the beauty of three spacious cottages in a mix of Japanese and Muslim style architecture, the glass-like Bohol Sea at a far distance with its therapeutic sounds, and the expansive surrounding mountains. Swimmers, sunbathers, and picnickers dot the beach. The rim of Duka Bay is edged with jutting, jet-black volcanic boulders, having landed here like bullets following a thirty-mile express bull’s eye from one of seven nearby volcanoes, one of which is still active.

While walking down the crushed coral path, I heard the swaying swish- swish sound of the wind against the unfurling foliage of the sturdy magtalisay and baok-baok trees.

After checking in, I walked uphill to my cottage. The most expensive cottage is the Ambassador suite which rents for 2,750 pesos (69 dollars) for four people per day - a bargain compared with the Shangri La in Mactan. The cottage has glass sliding doors that open into a nine by twentyfoot deck where I stretched out sipping my coffee and enjoying the most splendid view of the sea and the rising sun on the horizon.

EU shipowners are on Filipino seafarers’ side --Wallen official HONGKONG-BASED Wallem Ship Management is confident that Filipino seafarers will continue their employment onboard European Union (EU) vessels, downplaying threats of EU’s withdrawal of seafarers’ certificates.

Frank Simon, Fleet Personnel director at Wallem Ship Management, said the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA)’s recent audit in the Philippines, which found deficiencies in the government certifying agencies was a valid concern that needs to be addressed.

“I don’t think it will reach to a stage that EUs will be going to ban Filipino seafarers. It’s too big as a business already for too many ship owners in Europe. And with the problem they would face by such a step (banning of seafarers), would simply mean that it’s not going to happen,” said Simon.

“The lobbyist in Europe is on the Philippine side. If the EMSA is going to recommend a ban, stronger forces in the industry will take over. It is not something

that I have sleepless nights so far,” he said.

Currently, Wallem manages 380 vessels, about 50 of them are European -owned ships. Wallem employs 2,500 Filipino seafarers out of the total 8,000 seafarers worldwide. He said they have Filipino seafarers deployed on EU vessels, but actual figures were not available as of press time.

According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), there were 80,000 Filipino seafarers deployed onboard EU vessels that send about US$ 1.2 billion in annual remittances.

The Philippine government is alarmed over the possible withdrawal of recognition of Filipino seafarers’ certificates that would have an impact on their employment and remittances.

Simon said the impact of the EMSA audit had already occurred.

“With my knowledge to the Filipino seafarers industry, it’s going to be addressed accordingly,” he said.

The Filipino breakfast with fragrant garlic fried rice was my favorite. I also learned that the menu is constantly updated and improved.

Following breakfast, I examined the available recreational activities which featured sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, and viewing undersea coral life from a glass bottom boat, the re-

sort’s very own underwater observatory. My son, Max, raced me to the beach and constructed a large sand castle equipped to withstand monsoon forces. But Max appeared to have more sand on his body than in the castle.

For those feeling intrepid and if you brought along your scuba gear, experienced divers can explore the majestic coral reefs about two hundred yards from shore and forty feet below the sea’s surface. Dive Master DUKA/PAGE 11

Learning to love THINK a minute.

About love. It makes the world go around, right?

The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be much going around!

Most of us know that to love and be loved is what life is all about.

So why is there so little real love in the world? Why have so many of us not learned how?

How do I learn to love?

It’s simple: until I have been truly loved by someone else, I don’t know how to truly love others.

I know what you’re thinking: “No one has ever loved me like that! I mean really loved me all the time

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst without conditions, just as I am.”

Even our parents and spouse many times fail to love us that way.

So how can I ever learn to love? I’ve got some very good news for you. Someone already has loved you like that!

You just didn’t know it.

We learn to love by seeing God’s love for us in Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you without conditions.

No person in history has lived with such a perfect kind of love for others has Jesus Christ did. Real love cannot be done by slogans or songs.

They cannot change our

self-centered heart and nature. We all want real love, but none of us is able to give it. That’s why Jesus came: to show us what real love looks like.

Jesus has given us the greatest picture and proof of His love for us—by giving His perfectly innocent life for all of our wrongs.

So how do you learn to love? Just let Jesus love you.

Ask Him to take charge of your heart and life everyday.

And as you receive His love and power every day, you’ll start learning how to love others like that; since you’ll always be getting the love you need from Him. Just Think a Minute.

Enrile, Cagayan’s incumbent Congressman in Northern Luzon is son of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile. He was drafted as one of the official Senatorial candidates of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA). A recent Pulse Asia survey ranked Enrile in the number four slot among other senatorial candidates whose chances of winning are high.

Last Saturday, however, Enrile was no show in the press conference. His absence posed many questions than answers. Some members of the local press suspected that Enrile boycotted the scheduled press conference because he (Enrile) did not appreciate organizers of the scheduled event. By the way former Misamis Oriental Gov. Bong Calingin organized Enrile’s scheduled press conference. Some expressed apprehension that Enrile is not happy with Bong Calingin as his media consultant in Mindanao? Hmmmm… anything unusual here? That’s another story. Actually, Bong’s action was voluntary. Bong is trying to repay Enrile’s magnanimity for giving him (Bong) the chance to get his feet on the ground again.

There were ripe rumors than Bong Calining is now a multi-millionaire. Thanks to the Enriles.

In the absence of Jackie, Bong Calingin instead held his own press conference. Bong said he is not closing his intention to run for elective post. After the press conference, Bong reportedly shelled out 100K in the guise of donating the amount to the local press club.

Cagayan de Oro Press Club President Msgr. Elmer Abacahin accepted the cash amounting prompting one of the participants to call the attention of Msgr. Abacahin on the propriety of accepting money or cash donation from politicians.

Elections are upon us once again AND as expected the Comelec is running out of time to organize themselves. This may not be directly their fault nevertheless it seems it’s the same old story, election after election––doesn’t it?

Now it’s the PCOS machines that got the nod from the Supreme Court to utilize the Smartmatic phenomena. Interestingly enough we simpletons have turned cynical Harry Tambuatco to the issues that besiege them.

At this point a voter’s registration are ongoing at the ARMM known for its ghost voters list.

No less the PPCRV has flown down to the areas concerned to check on this 10-day process registering a list of voters. Local government I am certain is busy elsewhere all considering.

The election process is the pillar towards good representation but the system has continued to fail the Filipino people. There are more doubts and raised eyebrows over the integrity of no less the Comelec.

Now that Smartmatic is in the picture once again, it will only corrode the criticisms for a clean election.

Isn’t Smartmatic the synonym for magic?

While we are inutile towards the machineries for the election, we at the very least can address the second most important issue. And this is voter’s education – to

inform, to generate an awareness and to convince the populace that vote buying must be deemed criminal.

To the masses that feel it is hopeless having stayed poor for decades, they rationalize their misdemeanor by selling their votes. To begin with, is vote selling a misdemeanor or a crime? It should be the latter but this exercise in democracy surely cannot turn criminal.

Now if only there were strategies to reduce if not eradicate vote buying, we would be well on our way.

But before the solution what of the candidates who do the buying.

First of all the playing field is never level with the rich versus the poor when it comes to candidates who aspire positions.

The rich can buy electronic media and print and disguise these with creative accounting and audit. While it limits candidates on the spending attitudes, many new candidates who wish to make a difference are pushed to the side without even the means to campaign under the maximum tolerance for campaign spending. What if we could curb all this and do away with these methods?

Imagine an election where the rich candidates can expel their funds but to spend directly on the people and have projects above ground.

For example to become popular, the rich candidate can build a school and garner the local votes. The rich can simply donate these expenses towards an investment ELECTIONS/PAGE 7

The importance of good credit Last of two-part series THE recent commemoration of Credit Consciousness Week (April 24-30, 2012) was a special opportunity to learn about the importance of good credit.

Last week, we discussed how important credit score is in personal finance. It can affect our application for mainly all types of loans: While good credit helps boost credit score, bad credit almost always pulls it down.

The Financial Consumer Affairs Group of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, headed

by Deputy Director Teresita Lisama, explained that most credit score improvements take place over time and require an ongoing effort on the part of the financial consumer.

Speaking Out IGNACIO BUNYE “We should be cautious of all our credit transactions as these could have a lasting effect on our credit reputation,” the FCAG, in its Weekly Wealth Watch newsletter, stressed.

Here are some suggestions from the FCAG on how financial consumers can maintain a good credit standing and ultimately find favor with creditors: On Payment History: Delinquent payments, even for a few days, can

drive down our credit score.

Thus, it is important to make all our payments on time.

This includes payment on all kinds of dues such as utility bills, medical expenses, and even library fines.

If we have missed some payments in the past, we should pay them off and stay current. The impact of past credit problems on credit score fades with time and as recent good payment patterns show up in our credit report.

We should contact our creditors as soon as we know that we would be having problems with payment. We should then try to work out suitable payment arrangements with them.

On Amounts Owed: We should keep our borrowings and total debt load under control.

If we have amassed a significant amount of outstanding debt, we should refrain from borrowing more and work toward lowering our balances.

We should pay off all debts and should not move them around. Owing the same amounts, but having fewer accounts open, can lower our score if we max out the accounts involved.

On Length of Credit History:

Instead of closing down accounts, it would be to our advantage to keep older accounts in good standing open as length of credit history plays another important factor in our credit score.

Nonetheless, we should avoid simultaneously opening several new accounts in efforts to build credit history as new accounts will lower our average account age. Rapid account buildup can likewise look risky for new credit users.

On New Credit: We should apply for new debt only as needed.

When shopping for a new loan or credit card, we should be careful to do it in a relatively short span of time. Spending too much time on loan or card

hunting could give credit agencies the impression that we are constantly looking for credit.

On Type of Credit Used: Having a mix of credit cards, installment loans, and loans with fixed payments can help raise our credit score if we manage our payments responsibly.

We should always remember that there is value in protecting our credit rating and building a good credit record over the years.

As the FCAG always emphasizes, the use of credit should be matched with responsibility.

Timely reminders on natural calamities LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land…”

(2 Chronicles 7:14, the Holy Bible).

-oooTIMELY REMINDERS ON NATURAL CALAMITIES: And so the public may know, now that typhoons and other natural calamities have started their annual visit to the Philippines once more, I am listing here some parts of the Bible which talk about global warming and climate change, rains, floods and winds, the death and destruction they bring, as well as remedies to survive them. These Biblical passages somehow prove that there are Biblical or spiritual bases for these disasters.

The first Biblical basis is Deuteronomy 28:15, 22-23, and these verses clearly talk about global warming and climate change. Deuteronomy 28:15 says: “However, if you

came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash…”

-oooDO YOU WANT TO SURVIVE NATURAL DISASTERS? How then can we survive global warming and climate Atty. Batas Mauricio change, as well as destructive and deadly rains, floods do not obey the Lord your God winds are concerned, Jesus and winds---natural disasters and do not carefully follow all Christ, our God and Savior, all---if they represent curses his commands and decrees I clearly warned us that these from an all-powerful God? am giving you today, all these rains, floods and winds will Is there anything that man curses will come on you and surely come and cause death can do to escape the wrath overtake you…” and destruction among many. of these curses which God Deuteronomy 28:22-23, This was what He said in on the other hand, says: “The Matthew 7:24-27 of the Bible: Lord will strike you… with “Therefore ever yone who scorching heat and drought... hears these words of mine which will plague you until you and puts them into practice perish. The sky over your head is like a wise man who built will be bronze, the ground his house on the rock. The beneath you iron. The Lord will rain came down, the streams turn the rain of your country rose, and the winds blew and into dust and powder; it will beat against that house; yet come down from the skies it did not fall, because it had until you are destroyed…” its foundation on the rock.

and its huge cost. We will minimize waste and useless spending that go directly to the networks pockets rather than to the people through projects.

Local government should organize forums for introductions for candidates who

wish to represent its people and assist in amplifying these messages. What if? What if?

What if? Should we lose our ideals in trying to correct the wrongs, we may as well pack up and leave.

consultant is purely voluntary and we welcome Eid Kabalu’s help in our peace efforts in Central Mindanao,” he said in a separate interview.

He said Major General Rey Ardo, the division commander, also welcomed Kabalu’s help in promoting and spreading peace in the region.

“General Ardo is supporting Kabalu’s advocacy and his role as peace consultant will further strengthen our peace efforts, especially in pacifying warring Muslim clans, and this include feud among or between Muslim rebel groups in areas where we operate,” Asto said.

But the MILF said Kabalu’s decision ignited various

reactions from rebel leaders.

“There have been many negative remarks about Eid’s decision, but it is his personal decision. We have to wait for the decision of the MILF leadership about this issue,” said Von Al-Haq, the group’s spokesman.

Kabalu was removed as MILF spokesman following his secret talks with a Filipino Christian born-again group whose leader is also a politician during previous Presidential and national elections.

The MILF is fighting for self-determination in the southern Philippines and has been demanding for the establishment of a Muslim sub-state in Mindanao. (Mindanao Examiner)

“I am not an army spokesman, but a peace consultant for the 6th Infantry Division. We are for peace and we are one in spreading peace in this part of the country,” he told the Mindanao Examiner.

Earlier reports said Kabalu has joined the army as a spokesman for its civilian unit.

Colonel Prudencio Asto, a spokesman for the 6th Infantry Division, said Kabalu is working peace consultant for the military whose main role is to help pacify warring Muslim clans and feuding families.

Himself promised?

Reading the Biblical passages that we cited here, it would seem that, in His Great Mercy, God has provided a way out of the death and destruction from these natural calamities. This way out, if we read the passages here good enough, is contained in the very same passages where the curses are given. What is this way out?

In Deuteronomy, it is clear that God gave the curses of global warming and climate change because people no

longer listen to Him and no longer obey His commands.

In Matthew, the rains, floods and winds cause death and destruction because people no longer obey God even if they listen to Him. To survive these calamities, therefore, we must listen to God (in short, read His Bible) and obey Him. Now, do you want to survive?

assisted projects totaling P3.2 billion. Another project is on-going, the Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project-Phase, he said.

The recently-completed initiatives were turned over to the local government and end-beneficiaries such as the potable water system in Tubod, Surigao del Norte, Remedios T. Romualdez in Agusan del Norte, Carrascal in Surigao del Sur and Esperanza, Agusan del Sur, he said. Farm-to-market roads were handed over in Sacada ARC in Esperanza, Agusan del Sur and Adlay, Carrascal, Surigao del Sur last year and this year, he added.

Mambuay announced the second engagement of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) called Project CONVERGE, which he said “will ensure that land distribution will spin-off to enhance agricultural growth and agri-business development through the value-chain approach.

Along this line, Mambuay said, he had asked the Department of Trade and Industry to train DAR-13 technical men on the new approach.

Mambuay also said that his office is set to distribute 7,900 hectares of public and private agricultural lands until December this year.

He admitted however, that “we are faced with budgetary and personnel constraints.”

He also announced that two teams from DAR central office and representatives from congressional districts had conducted site validation for the proposed two Tulay ng Pangulo para sa Repormang Pansakahan in each congressional district.

Duka... from page 5

Lois Marie Lugod who likes to be called Cookie greets the divers.

“Diving in these waters is only for the experienced,” she says. Hailing from a family of divers, Cookie is an expert diver, having logged over twenty years in a wet suit under oceans and regional waters. She provides the diving enthusiasts with detailed safety instructions along with the environmental concerns to protect the coral reefs from destruction.

Cookie states, “One advantage to diving in these waters of Duka Bay is that no sharks have been reported and we have the most beautiful coral and giant sea turtles.” She particularly enjoys diving at night while looking up through the waters at the stars sparkling overhead.

After a day of swimming, I met the third generation owner of Duka Bay Resort and his wife. He greets every visitor with a hearty handshake and explains the history behind Duka Bay, which contains the family’s ancestral home and glistening white beach property that was acquired by his grandmother as a place of recreation. Grandmother planted the surrounding magtalisay and baok-baok trees forty years ago.

These trees which dart the beach area have now tripled in size and provide shade.

Duka means sleepy in the dialect. As for me, it means unspoiled and serene. It is nurtured by family hands and not by the impersonal high-tech management of global hotel corporations. While packing my bags in the van, I turned to the owner, smiling and thanking him for a great time. In my best General MacArthur impersonation, I said, “I SHALL RETURN!”

SBP to hold three days referees seminar BACOLOD City––The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP)-Negros will hold a three-day referees seminar on June 29, 30 and July 1, at the West Negros University Gym here.

SBP provincial referees coordinator, Felipe Bat-og said the seminar is in line with the SBP’s thrust of developing a standard program to improve the level of competitiveness in officiating.

The seminar also aims to improve the competence of those who are already in the trade and for SBP to discover fresh talents who will officiate in the most popular sport in the country.

Bat-og added that the seminar will start at 8 a.m. on June 29 with the registration of the participants, followed by a series of lectures and capped by a demonstration on practical methods of officiating on June 30.

The clinic is in line with the plan of SBP regional director Robert Uy to produce local referees for international competition, who will follow in the footsteps of Tronjay Aldaba of University of Negros Occ.-Recoletos, Patrick Canizares of La Consolacion College, and Wilbert Culanag of WNU, who were able to officiate in the Philippine Basketball Association.

Registration fee for the seminar is pegged at P850. philippine news agency

LeBron-Durant duel on course for historic run

By SHAUN POWELL MIAMI––Two games do not make for an epic, but it does raise the chance Kevin Durant and LeBron James are in the early stages of assembling a spectacle worthy of the archives.

It’s hard not to admire or appreciate the work currently being done by the MVP and the runner-up, how they’ve captivated the audience with brilliant stretches of basketball not unlike many duos before them in post-season settings.

These NBA Finals are tied one-all mainly because James and Durant, so far, are essentially tied. They’ve canceled each other out, which is actually a good thing from an entertainment perspective, because each is playing in a zone reachable only by the other.

They’ve averaged a combined 65 points a game and created many of the vivid snapshot moments in a series generating record TV ratings, at least in the post-Magic-Bird-Jordan era anyway. As we thought, Heat vs. Thunder has become must-watch, partly because two players generally regarded as the best in

the game are leaving their mark and then some.

Do you doubt where this is going, where James and Durant are taking us?

A special place, perhaps.

Durant scored 17 points in the fourth quarter alone of Game 1, on a blizzard of three-pointers and slashes to the rim, rallying his team from 14 points down. The home fans gave him the MVP chant, and to a degree, he did outplay the winner of that trophy when it counted.

James followed up with a punishing display in Game 2, when he repeatedly took the ball to the rim, taking full advantage of his rare combination of size and speed for once and giving

Miami the split they wanted in OKC. Even better, James and Durant have guarded each other for long stretches, including the tense end of Game 2. That’s when Durant took and missed the potential game-winning shot with scant seconds left, on a play where James clearly made contact but heard no whistle. And so, this matchup, already worth the buzz, had controversy, too.

Can they sustain this pace? Not only for the next three games in Miami, but in the near future as well?

Because that’s the only way they can put themselves in the conversation with the finest all-time clashes ever:

Wilt-Russell, Magic-Bird, etc., etc. It’s not totally out of the question, since the Thunder and Heat are built to contend, barring an injury or trade, and because James and Durant are in their prime.

Both are currently driven by the smell of a first championship, with more at stake perhaps for James, who’s 0-for-2 in that quest and flamed out spectacularly last June against the Mavericks. That passion alone should guarantee more of what we’ve seen in the first two games.

“Obviously LeBron wants to win a championship,” said Dwyane Wade. “I can’t RUN/PAGE 10
