Cashier in trouble for failure to account P2.6m By PAT SAMONTE, Regional Editor-Caraga
BUTUAN City––A cashier of a cooperative here has been discovered short of P2.6 million of coop funds. In a press conference, the board of directors of the Agusan del Norte Teachers, Retirees, Employees and Community Cooperative (Antrecco) revealed that the cashier has resorted to “black propaganda aimed at maligning our august institution” allegedly as cover for the infraction. Antrecco chief executive
officer Francis Loque said an investigating committee had found cashier Brian Mar with P2.6 million in unliquidated Antrecco funds. Loque said the investigating committee had recommended Mar’s dismissal from the coop and the filing of qualified theft, estafa and libel charges against him. He said the cooperative
will proceed with the legal process upon the board of directors’ approval of the investigating committee’s recommendation. According to Loque, the shortage was discovered in September, 2011for which the cooperative has since tried but failed to get Mar’s liquidation report with supporting documents. Instead, allegations of “mismanagement and personal interest” and other innuendos were hurled against the Antrecco management. “These are all innuendos
constructed just to discredit an institution which has been a force to reckon with in this business realm,” the cooperative said in its official newsletter Antrecco Updates. Antrecco was organized in 1993 with 29 incorporators and starting capital of P14,500. It has grown with a present membership of more than 10,000 across Caraga Region with assets exceeding P160 million. When asked if the alleged loss of P2.6 million hurt Antrecco’s finances,
Antrecco BOD chairperson Clara Almendralejo replied “The amount of shortages did not substantially affect the coop’s financial financial condition.” Antrecco’s main office is on J.P. Rosales Avenue here and has six satellite offices at Langihan district here on Ochoa Avenue corner J. Satorre Street, at Cuison Building, in Barangay Libertad, in Agusan del Norte along the national highway in Cabadbaran City, at Poblacion, Carmen town, in Agusan del Sur on Narra
Road, Poblacion, Bayugan City, and Surigao del Norte at the Ground Floor, Tecson Building, Rizal Street corner Borja Street, Surigao City. For members, Antrecco provides protection in the form of benefits from accidental death in the amount of P50,000, non-accidental death, P50,000, burial benefits, P30,000, and residential fire insurance, P20,000 with an annual premium of P500 only.

DIGOS City––Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) has been very elusive for the Xstrata-Sagittarius Mines, Inc. (SMI) after the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) denied its application for the second time around. In a decision on May 22, the DENR turned down again the appeal made by the mining company on the earlier denial of their plea for ECC to proceed with their operation in the provinces of South Cotabato and Davao del Sur. The DENR cited the existing open-pit mining ban strictly implemented by the provincial government of South Cotabato, which until now, Malacañang has not yet resolve in accordance with the national law involving mining operations in the country. “SMI challenges the constitutionality of the open pit ban. The issue of constitutionality was outside of the department’s purview,” DENR Assistant Secretary for Legal Affairs Anselmo Abungan stated in the decision. MINING/PAGE 11

Enrile donates P100,000 to Oro press club By ED N. MALIZA, Correspondent
A LAWMAKER from Luzon, who is going around the country to consult the Filipinos regarding the two House Bills that he filed in Congress, on Saturday gave to the Cagayan de Oro Press Club, Inc. (COPC) the amount of P100,000 in response to the latter’s solicitation letter. Former Misamis Oriental Governor Antonio “Bong” Calingin said that
Rep. Jack Enrile is going around the countr y to consult the Filipinos on his “Kasambahay Bill” and “Food Security Bill”. Enrile, who was the resource speaker of Bukidnon State University in Initao in Misamis Oriental some four weeks ago, was handed with a solicitation letter by COPC President Elmer Abacahin through the initiative of the former
governor. “Adunay tawag gikan sa Manila nga dili mahinayon si Rep. Jack Enrile karon dinhi sa Cagayan de Oro gumikan sa kakusog sa ulan mao nga ako na lang ang gihangyo niya nga maoy mohat ag s a kantidad nga P100,000,” Calingin on Saturday’s press conference said adding, Enrile will be giving another P100,000 next month purposely to help finance the year-round
(continuous) activities of the COPC. “Dili kini (referring to the P100,000) ako, alang kini sa mga aktibidadis nga padayon nga pagahimoon sa COPC niining tuiga,” Abacahin who received the amount told the reporters. When asked if it is proper for a media group to ask or solicit money from a politician, Abacahin replied negatively. “Dili hinoon maayo apan ania na man kini,
ato na lang gamiton sa mga kalihokan nga gahimoon sa mga miembro sa COPC sulod niini nga tuig. Basta maayo lang ang padulngan niini nga kwarta wala kana’y kaso,” the COPC president said. “Ako kanang dugangan ang gisulti ni Monsignor Abacahin hilabi na nga kini siya akong spiritual adviser. Ang tinood lang, among gihatag ang maong kantidad dili tungod kay mangayo kami ug pabor
sa media. Wala ug dili kami magdahom niana. Ang among katuyoan mao gayod ang paglig-on sa hugpong sa media kay lagi nasayod kami nga ang media adunay dakong paper niining atong comunidad. Wala’y laing makatabang sa pag-educar sa atong mga kaigsoonang kabos, ang media ra gyod busa dili unta sabton nga nangayo kami ug balos gikan kaninyo nga media,” Calingin explained.

Night Market to boost tourism in Koronadal KORONADAL City––The city government plans to open a night market here in a bid to further boosts the city’s thriving microeconomy. City Mayor Peter Miguel said they are currently drawing up plans and strategies for the establishment of the city’s night market, which is being primed to become the city’s next top attraction as well as revenue source. “We’ve made the initial plans for this and we’re currently evaluating the possible sites within the city’s downtown area,” the mayor said. Miguel said the planned
night market would initially be patterned after a similar initiative launched several years ago by local government of Tagum City in Davao del Norte. City officials led by Mayor Mi g u e l v i s ite d Tagum City and Digos City in Davao del Sur last week as part of the local government’s benchmarking study tour. During their stop in Tagum City, the mayor said they were specifically impressed with its flourishing night market that is now one of the area’s tourist attractions and income generator, contributing
about P78 million to the local government’s coffers last year. It h e l p e d d e v e l o p Tagum’s micro enterprises, opened stable livelihood opportunities to local residents and further livened up its “night life,” he said. The mayor said the proposed night market here would take off from the popular “B-walk” and “Mcdo” stalls, which mushroomed these past years along the downtown area. The “B-walk,” which is a monicker coined by locals after the popular Baywalk strip in Manila, refers to the roadside barbeque stalls
that open every night in a street located at the back of the old city hall compound here. “Mcdo,” on the other hand, does not refer to the popular American hamburger chain but a local lingo that is short for the Ilonggo term “magdukoduko” or a person in bowing position. The term specifically refers to people in bowing position while eating home-made arroz caldo in roadside stalls located along the main highway leading to the city’s rotunda or “round ball” area.

monitors P1.06b Creation of sugar cane DTI new investments in industry devt fund pushed Northern Mindanao By APIPA P. BAGUMBARAN of PIA-10
A LAWMAKER is strongly pushing for the creation of the sugar cane industry development fund in a move to revitalize and strengthen the country’s sugar cane industry. Rep. Alfredo Benitez (3rd District, Negros Occidental) authored House Bill 6113, which provides for a diversification, development and financial program to promote the interests of sugarcane farmers and planters, mills workers and consumers and contribute to government’s food security efforts. The bill, to be known as the Sugar Cane Industry Development Act of 2012, mandates that the Sugar Fund shall be constituted and collected from the proceeds of 15% of the Value Added Tax on the sale and importation of refined sugar, and sugarcane by-products; and the total tariff collected on the importation of raw sugar, refined sugar and premix sugar. “All the proceeds collected from the above sources shall be remitted in full by the Department of Finance to a separate trust fund maintained by the Philippine Sugar Corporation (PhilSuCor), created under P.D. 1890, on or before August 1 of every year,” says the bill, which amends P.D. 1890. The Sugar Fund shall be utilized to finance the establishment of special economic zones, nuclear farms and agro-industrial districts; and provide financial assistance to sugar farmers, planters and mills for the purchase of seedlings, acquisition of machinery and construction of farm-to-market roads and irrigations. It shall also be used to conduct researches and related feasibility studies; train mill personnel on current technologies; fi-
Nokia Wins Big at the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands 2012. Nokia won the Gold Award in the Smartphone Category, and the Platinum Award in the Mobile Phone Category for the 11th year in a row. On the heels of the successful Nokia Lumia launch, Ms. Yvonne Tey, Reader’s Digest Asia commercial director, presented Nikka Abes, Nokia corporate communications manager, with the Gold Award last May 31 at the Genting Club, Resorts World Manila(shown in photo). The Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands survey, on its 14th year, has become a marketing institution serving as a barometer in identifying consumer preferences and recommendations. Ipsos, the world’s third largest market research company, conducted the phone and postal consumer survey. Seventy-four percent of respondents in Asia agree that a brand survey voted by consumers is helpful in making purchase decisions while 59 percent say that they are more likely to buy a product which has been named a Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand.
nance socio-economic programs for sugar farmers and mill workers; and provide scholarships for deserving university/college students taking up courses related to the sugarcane industry. In pushing for the immediate approval of the proposed measure, Benitez lamented that while the government has been supporting the sugar industry because of the contribution of the sugar export industry to economic development, there is an apparent neglect of the development of sugar by-products, which aggravates uncertainty in the future of the sugarcane industry. This uncertainty, Benitez said, is further fanned by the impending lifting of the tariff on sugar by 2015. “This scenario has spawned nu-
merous reactions of uncertainty from the sugar planters, millers and consumers alike,” Benitez stressed. “It is incumbent upon our policy-makers to institute measures, both by legislation and executive implementation of specific programs and projects that will cushion if not counter the possible destabilization effects of the 2015 no-tariff provision of the sugarcane industry as a whole,” Benitez said. “These programs and projects that diversif y sugarcane production involving not only raw and refined sugar but also its by-products namely bagasse, molasses and filter mud should be identified, developed, promoted and implemented starting 2013,” Benitez added.

The sweat of success THINK a minute. Former Prime Minister of England, Winston Churchill, became so famous for his speeches that he’s been called the greatest speaker of the century. He was also famous for his quick wit. Yet amazingly, he was not a naturally talented speaker. In fact, earlier in Churchill’s life he had such a bad speech problem that people made fun of the way he talked. D o you k n ow h ow Churchill changed to become the greatest speaker of the 20th century? He studied and wrote his speeches word-for-word on paper, and then he practiced them countless hours in front of a mirror. He worked at saying
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst each word just the right way with just the right facial expressions. He also practiced pausing and pretending to struggle to find the right word, even though he knew exactly what he was going to say! So although Winston Churchill was not a naturally good speaker, he disciplined himself and worked hard to become a great one! You and I can never
succeed in life without discipline and hard work. It takes sweat to succeed in our job and career, in school, in sports, in our marriage and family. Even if you’re born into a rich family, or with an intelligent mind and strong body, you still have to work hard to reach your full potential and truly succeed. Most importantly, it takes work and discipline to develop the character we
were born to have and enjoy. We must discipline and change our wrong attitudes, thinking, and way of living everyday. It’s not natural or easy for us to quickly forgive someone who hurts us or our family. It’s not natural or easy to always be honest no matter how much we can get away with or how much it costs us. But you can start by asking Jesus Christ to forgive you for living your own way; and then ask Him to take full charge of your heart and character. It’s only with Jesus’ character and power in you that you can start changing to become the best person you can be. Just Think a Minute.
Aquino’s chances as city mayor A FRIEND from Butuan City reacted to this corner’s article about Congressman Jose ‘Joeboy’ Aquino II chances of winning the mayoral race in an election next year. We wrote about ‘Joeboy’s’ plan to run for mayor against the incumbent Mayor Jun Amante. In the first place, it is ‘Joeboy’s’ right to run for the city’s mayoral post. Joeboy, however, has still one Cris Diaz more term in Congress where he could run for re-election next year. Many were asking why the mayoral post interest Joeboy. Some suggested that Joeboy should finish his last term in Congress before running for the city’s mayoral post. We do not know what is in Joeboy’s mind. What interests to most people are Joeboy’s chances of winning the mayoral post, in case he decides to take the challenge? This early, however, many expressed doubts whether Joeboy could win the mayoral post in Butuan City. A review of Joeboy’s political history showed that Joeboy has no political base. What Joeboy have is the political organization of the late Butuan City Mayor ‘Boy Daku’ Plaza. The Plazas’ had maintained their political organization for many decades before Joeboy come to the picture. In the other words, the political organization of the Plazas’ especially in Agusan Del Sur, date back as far as the 50s. Perhaps, Joeboy was not around yet when the Plazas political turf started to exist. While it is true that the Aquinos’ became a political byword in the Agusan
provinces in the early 60s, their political organization were not as cogent as the Plazas then. Jose C. Aquino, the grandfather of Rep. Joeboy Aquino, was elected Governor of Agusan del Norte in 1964. In 1966, Aquino resigned and ran for Congress where he won. As Congressman, Aquino authored Republic Act 4979, that became a law on June 17, 1967, dividing Agusan into two provinces, namely, Agusan Del Norte and Agusan Del Sur. It is true that the Plazas and the Aquinos where political allies back in the 60s. The old Democrito Plaza was elected Governor of Agusan in the 1960 until 1963. However, the Aquinos disappeared in the political limelight. Until today, the Plazas’ maintained their political stronghold in Agusan Del Sur. The demise of Butuan City Mayor ‘Boy Daku Plaza, loosen the Plazas’ political grip of Butuan City, too. The Amantes’ came to the political picture of Butuan City and Agusan Del Norte only in 2007 where most candidates of the Plazas where defeated by the Amantes. The result of the 2007 elections is one of the contested election results in the country both in the national and local level. The other election whose result remained dubious was the 2004 national and local elections. In 1995, ‘though Rep. Angel Amante Matba was elected to Congress. If Joeboy runs for the mayoral post next year, he could be the opposition candidate of the Lakas-Kampi political party. The Amantes,’ who belonged to the Lakas-Kampi political party, too, might certainly shift to the administration’s Liberal Party. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

WHY DISCRIMINATE VS. CATHOLICS? Lawyer Dan Amosin, now based in California, USA, reacted to our column about House Bill 6330 of Kabataan Party List Rep. Raymond Palatino seeking to prohibit display of religious images in government offices: “It appears, the bulk of taxes is paid by Catholics, so why discriminate against them? Palatino is digressing into territories outside of his
representation. “If at all, his subject bill is better left to regular congressmen. As regards Biblical matters, I believe there was an incident in the Old Testament where Moses was directed by God to create an image of a snake and anyone who looked at it would be spared from destruction that was to come…” -oooCOCO WATER EXPO RISES: The first quarter export sale of coco water, the product that President Aquino promoted after his visit to the United States, registered a 300 percent increase with 4,498,158.00 liters being sold, compared with last year’s figures of 1,125,451.00 according to RIGHTEOUS/PAGE 9

Aggie dept holds basic meat processing training CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Provision of a value-adding activity to backyard livestock raisers was the foremost goal of the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 10’s Agri-Pinoy Livestock Division in the conduct of a Basic Meat Processing Training held on June 13-15, 2012 at Chali Beach Resort here. The training aimed to augment the livelihood and income of farmers, particularly members of people’s organizations and their respective local government units (LGUs) venturing into livestock projects, covered by the agency’s special poverty-alleviation initiative dubbed as the Mindanao Rural Development Program (MRDP). Wherein, nearly 20 participants from the provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental have joined the activity. In his opening remarks, Supervising Agriculturist Rosalio Lorono imparted that it has been long since the department has spearheaded a training on meat processing. He added that their division has been fortunate to have earned additional funding that has allowed them to hold the training.
Likewise, he urged the participants to maximize such rare opportunity by applying their learnings as they’d ultimately serve as the focal persons in their particular areas of responsibility relative in the making of processed meat products. Serving as the training’s resource person is Agriculturist I Willie D. Nacalaban, who taught the procedures and processing technologies on how to produce commonly-made meat products such as tapa, tocino, longanisa, embutido and sausage. While conveying the process in preparing the abovesaid food, he underscored that there is no fixed mixing in the amount of ingredients to be employed as it depends on one’s preference. Nevertheless, he added that the market would play a large role in doing the necessary adjustments as they would be the ones who will patronize their products. Moreover, Mr. Nacalaban highlighted the need for the trainees to have the highest possible standards of personal hygiene and personal habits to avoid contaminating food, which is the greatest threat to food
Active involvement among the trainees has been apparent during the department’s Basic Meat Processing Training on June 13-15, 2012 at Chali Beach Resort as they closely listen to the instructions of Agriculturist I Willie D. Nacalaban (center, bottom photo) on how to properly incorporate ingredients to their meat of choice as well as their corresponding functions.
safety. Thereby, cleaning and sanitizing practices were also employed during the training’s practicum on processing the different meat products. Subsequent to the series of demonstrations, participants have likewise undertaken a sensory evaluation. Of which, they’ve examined the food that they’ve produced using their senses––making inferences
and insights on off-flavours, odours, inadequate formulation, colour defects and among others to improve the qualities of the said products. Furthermore, Mr. Nacalaban stressed that the key in producing excellent processed meat products is the use of fresh meat along with the addition of ample seasonings, herbs, and etc. (Joanne L.

Agrarian reform committees gather in Oro for 25th regional convention By EDITHA R. SALVADOR
CAGAYAN de Oro––With the theme “Empowering the PARCCOM to sustain the gains of the CARPER beyond 2014,” the Provincial Agrarian Reform Coordinating Committees (PARCCOM) from the provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental held their 25th InterPARCCOM Convention in this city on May 30-31, 2012. Gracing the event was Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno, who took the occasion to thank the Department of Agrarian Reform and lauded its efforts in the transformation of Sitio Lantad, an NPA-enclave in the late 80’s into a successful community that earned for the provincial government of Misamis
Oriental a Galing Pook Award for 2011. Moreno, a former legislator, intimated that when he was still in Congress, his colleagues always allocated a small budget for the DAR, rendering the agency helpless and ineffective in implementing the CARP. He expressed his appreciation to the DAR for being at the forefront in countryside development and able to deliver the mandate despite the constraints. DAR-10 Regional Director Felix Aguhob in return handed a plaque of appreciation to Gov. Moreno for his continuing support to the CARP. RD Aguhob then presented the status of the CARP implementation in Region 10 for the information and guidance of the PARCCOM members. Section 44 of RA 6657, otherwise CONVENTION/PAGE 11

MDaily Joke Compiled by KHRISTHA RIVA ARFENE
Father doesn’t like Fred is 32 years old and he is still single. One day a friend asked, “Why aren’t you married? Can’t you find a woman who will be a good wife?” Fred replied, “Actually, I’ve found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn’t like them.” His friend thinks for a moment and says, “I’ve got the perfect solution, just find a girl who’s just like your mother.” A few months later they meet again and his friend says, “Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?” With a frown on his face, Fred answers, “Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right; my mother liked her very much.” The friend said, “Then what’s the problem?” Fred replied, “My father doesn’t like her.”

CALAMBA, Misamis Occidental -- “Gaining independence is not only winning the battle from foreign rule, but also gaining experience in the real battle of life.” This was the gist of the message of President Kristin Co Lim of the College of Communication, Information and Technology (CCIT) of Calamba, guestof-honor during the 114th Philippine Independence Day celebration, here. A teacher by profession, Lim cited the important role of teachers in moulding the minds of the youths for good education and freedom from ignorance. For his part, Municipal Mayor Luisito Villanueva Jr. highlighted the importance of independence for every Filipino, stating that “this celebration is a way of expressing our gratitude to our national heroes, who have sacrificed their lives for us to gain independence from foreign rule.”

MAYOR EDPAM: Angeles City Mayor Edgar Pamintuan has now advanced as one of the 25 finalists vying for the prestigious 2012 World Mayor Award, bringing honor not only to himself, his city, and his province (Pampanga), but to the Philippines as a whole. But I wonder: why is Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo so silent on this achievement? Having been a former mayor himself, Robredo knows it is never easy to compete for world awards. Is it because Pamintuan is a member of the opposition? -oooINTELLIGENCE FAIL-
URE? If it is true that the government is now looking into the possibility that Jordanian journalist Baker Atyani of the Al Arabiya News Network came to the Philippines to link up with, and provide funds for, the Abu Sayaff Group, this would again constitute yet another intelligence failure on the part of the police and military establishments. How can a supposed “terrorist conduit” come here undetected? Nobody’s paying attention? Where have all the intelligence funds gone? -oooP U L LOU T OR N O PULLOUT? Two major newspapers here have ban-
nered completely divergent stories on China’s supposed pullout of its ships from the Panatag Shoal or the Scarborough Shoal off Zambales. In a report posted at 12 a.m., June 19, 2012, one newspaper said the Chinese are pulling out. In its own report posted at 12:40 a.m., the other newspaper said there is no such pullout, quoting an officer of the Chinese embassy. Now, which is which? Interesting, really! -oooREACTIONS?

More folate-rich foods Other good sources of folate are asparagus and eggs. You can also find it in chicken liver, beans, sunflower seeds, and leafy green vegetables like spinach or romaine
lettuce. According to the American Cancer Society, the best way to get folate is not from a pill, but by eating enough fruits, vegetables, and enriched grain products. (WebMD)

Individual differences, multiple intelligences By CAROLYN R. PICHAY
WHAT teaching approach do you use? How different is it from other schools? These are the common questions that we get whenever we have clients who inquire about our school. Cagayan de Oro Academy of International Education has adopted the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Dr. Howard Gardner in its curriculum. So how do we do it? Anchored on the premise that each student has eight intelligences with varying degrees, we see each of our students as distinct and unique from one another. Our teachers keep a close relationship with the children in order for them to profile their intelligences.
With this, they are able to identify the strengths and weakness of each child and use his interests and preferences to design appropriate learning experiences and opportunities. Each lesson is taught and learned in many different ways. One size does not actually fit all.
The teachers are able to cater to all the students’ needs. They do not solely rely on paper and pencil tests in assessing students. Projects, portfolios, performances, and real life experiences are given much weight in the learning process. Recognizing that people
are more different than they are alike, essentially brings about a huge impact in every student’s life. The multiple intelligences theory equalizes how the teachers view students. Students are not only considered intelligent when they aced the test in Mathematics or when they got good grades in English, but also when they excel in Music, visual and performing arts. At Cagayan De Oro Academy Of International Education every child is intelligent and smart. The school is situated at Kauswagan National Highway, Cagayan De Oro City, across Citra Mina. Enrollment is still going on. For inquiries please call up tel. nos. (88) 310-0210 and 72-72-20.

Department of Tourism Region 11 Director Art Boncato said, “Direct flights most definitely help us achieve our tourism targets. The modern-day traveler prioritizes seamless travel when choosing the destinations to visit. These direct flights would certainly hasten our tourism growth since we already have ample products and services fit for various markets.” He described the Davao region as an eco-tourism destination, where travelers can go on a fun adventure from its islands to highlands terrain. Davao City also aims to be a leading venue for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibits (MICE) in the country with facilities that can accommodate 5,000 delegates, and more than 7,000 hotel rooms.

(1st District, Zamboanga del Norte), was filed just a few weeks before the House passed on third and final reading House Bill 5727 which provides a shift to a twotier excise tax system for tobacco products and three-tier for alcohol products from the current multi-tier. “This bill intends to promote the health of the people by discouraging tobacco use. Thus, it moves to a simple tax structure by adopting a unitary rate so that alcohol and tobacco products will have a fair tax treatment. This will also provide a mechanism to increase revenues as it averts the shifting of demand to the least-taxed brand of tobacco and alcohol products. Thus, while allowing the indexation of taxes to inflation, it also earmarks additional revenues for health-related concerns including the Universal Health Care Program. Likewise, it earmarks incremental revenues to provide alternative livelihood programs for tobacco farmers,” said Magsaysay. He said the Philippine Development Plan for 2011-2016 cites the need for tax reforms to improve the revenue take of the tax system while promoting equity and a level playing field for all stakeholders. “Specifically, it gives emphasis to adjustments in the excise tax on alcohol and tobacco products. With this in mind, all stakeholders must converge on how to meet these ends especially with the ever-growing socio-economic demands and budget deficit,” said Magsaysay. He cited the Department of Budget of Management earlier said the emerging the budget deficit last year was P191.6 billion, and

Meanwhile, the National Economic Development Authority projects the economy probably grew 3.6 percent to 4 percent in 2011 according to him. “While it is true the current ventures of the government through the public-private partnerships (PPP) is innovative and pro-active, other channels must also be explored to further increase resources, improve fiscal position and implement programs to attain inclusive growth,” said Magsaysay. On the health side, he said the Department of Health cited 80,000 Filipinos die each year from tobaccorelated diseases, while the Health Justice Philippines put the figure at 35,000. “With over 17 million smokers, the Philippines has one of the highest smoking prevalence in the world. Local medical experts underscored the rise in incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer and heart disease, with more than 200,000 deaths annually. Cigarette smoking and tobacco use were identified as the single largest factor contributing to NCDs,” Magsaysay said. He also cited a study of the Action for Economic Reforms (AER) that showed in the Philippines, cigarette excise tax as percentage of gross retail price (GRP) ranges from 14 percent to 42 percent based on 2010 cigarette prices, which is below the World Health Organization’s recommended rate of at least 70 percent of the GRP. The bill provides that on distilled spirits there shall be collected, subject to the provisions of Section 133 of the National Internal Revenue Code, excise taxes in accordance with alcohol content.

Rejuvenated Texters drop axe on Aces at Lanao Norte game TUBOD, Lanao del Norte–– Talk n Text came out strong from a two-week respite and gained some relief with an 80-72 win over Alaska Milk in their road game in the PBA Governors Cup at the Mindanao Civic Center (MCC) here Saturday night. Though still crippled by injuries, the Tropang Texters fought competitively and dashed the semifinal aspiration of the Aces. The Texters improved two rungs up to seventh place at 2-3 while burying the Aces deeper down the cellar at 1-6. Suffering a fifth straight
defeat, Alaska lost all its hopes of making the semifinals of the season-ending tourney. Talk n Text, meanwhile, breathed some life to its own bid with the Texters drawing to within half game of joint fifth placers Barangay Ginebra (3-3) and Petron Blaze (3-3). Jayson Castro came back from injury and provided some help to his team in this Phoenix Fuel-sponsored out-of-town tussle. The former Philippine Christian U hit man nailed a clutch basket helping the Texters hold off the Aces’ de-
termined rally at the finish. To Ranidel de Ocampo, however, belonged the game’s biggest basket. The 6-foot-6 forward buried a three-pointer just as the Aces threatened to within three, 72-75, after falling behind by 20 at 53-73. Castro scored on a penetration to make it 80-72 and Alaska eventually kissed its bid goodbye. Paul Harris led all scorers with 25 points with Larry Fonacier adding 16 and De Ocampo 8 for the Texters who faltered in the fourth quarter recovered in time to salvage the crucial win.
The Texters still showed up short-handed minus Ryan Reyes, Jarred Dillinger and Harvey Carey. Jason Forte paced the losing team with 24.

PHILIPPINE National Shooting Association (PNSA) president Michael “Mikee” Romero has high hopes that their sole representative Brian Rosario can bring home the elusive 1st gold for the Philippines in the Olympics. Rosario, together with eight other Filipino athletes will vie for gold in the London Olympics from July 27 to August 12 this year. Romero made the statement during the weekly-PSA forum Tuesday morning at Shakey’s UN in Manila. The 29-year-old Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) gold medalist will be training a month in London before the start of the Olympics to help him familiarize with the environment. “It will be a different atmosphere in London” said PNSA vice president Gay Coral. Romero also confirmed that they will have former Spanish National team member Miguel Tajuelo as the new coach of the Philippine Team after it was approved by the Philippine Sports Commission. He also expressed his gratitude to the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) that allowed them to use the Electronic Shooting Range. According to Romero, the use of Electronic Shooting Range is of great importance, “Nakakapag-adjust ung mga shooters kasi nakikita mo yung target mo. Among the other athletes to vie in the Olympics include Olympian Eric Ang, Frances Nicole Medina, Jayson Valdez and Celdon Arellano. “Definitely itong mga batang ito and the next generation ay kayang magdala ng gold sa country”.

BELGRADE-- Secretary General of the Serbian Olympic Committee (OKS) Djordje Visacki said on Monday there was no basis for British media claims that OKS officials had sold tickets for the Olympics in London on the black market. "There is no basis for that," Visacki told Serbian news agency Tanjug. The ticket sales for the Olympics are conducted exclusively through the official distributor in the country, who has a contract with the organizer of the Games, he said. "The only tickets the OKS comes into contact with are the ones meant for athletes, federations and sponsors of the OKS, so the OKS is in no position to sell tickets," he stressed. The story with the abuses regarding ticket sales was started by The Times, whose reporters claim they have evidence against 27 officials who distribute tickets from 54 countries, including agents from Serbia and Lithuania, and that they offered tickets for GBP 6,000. "I have been unpleasantly surprised by the reports in The Sunday Times, and especially by the way my words were put into a
completely improper context. The OKS is at the moment in constant contact with the International Olympic Committee and we are going to react concerning this based on instructions from the International Olympic Committee (IOC)," Visacki stressed. He suspects that this is an attempt to disturb the atmosphere in the Serbian team for the Olympics. "We are, unfortunately, already used to Serbia being presented in a negative context in foreign media. This time even sport, as definitely the best thing Serbia can offer when competing with the world, was represented in such a way. This is a way to disturb the atmosphere in the Serbian team for the Olympics, but the OKS will certainly not allow that to put our athletes at a disadvantage," he added. The IOC has held an urgent meeting because of British media accusations that officials from 50 national Olympic committees, including Serbia's, had sold tickets for the Olympic Games in London on the black market. The tickets include those for the most sought after events, like the 100m dash. (PNA/Xinhua)
