‘We are one-year-old today’ By ALLAN MEDIANTE, Editor In Chief, BWM Magazine
THIS paper is celebrating its first anniversary today, May 18, 2012. The forerunner of this newspaper was a magazine size bilingual (English and Bisayan) daily which has earned the raves of grass-
roots readers that come mostly from B,C and D categories. While the paper enjoyed initial popularity, publisher Dante Sudaria thought it more appropriate to elevate its stature by coming out
with a bigger (tabloid size) to give more service opportunities to advertisers and more public service through a wider range of stories. “Indeed, Mindanao Daily News has metamorphosed into a tabloid daily which ONE YEAR/PAGE 14

Labor groups demand 90-peso wage increase L ABOR groups h a v e r e i t e r at e d their call for a P90 across-the-board wage increase in the National Capital Region (NCR), citing the recent spate of increases in costs of oil products and basic commodities.
In Thursday’s public consultation of the Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board-National Capital Region (RTWPB-NCR), Trade Union Congress of the Philippines Assistant Secretary-General Hernan Nicdao said a rise in cost of commodities, tuition and electricity can be considered as “supervening events” to warrant an acceptable wage increase. “There is a rampant increase in the prices of oil, basic commodities, electricity. Ang problema dito, ang presyo ba ng kuryente bumababa?” Nicdao said. He said the average wage increase that the NCR wage board had approved ranged from P15 to P20. “This is not enough. It’s not really acceptable,” he said. On March 16, the TUCP filed a petition to increase LABOR/PAGE 15

ILLEGAL REPEATERS: Actual images of illegal repeaters installed on top of houses and buildings.
Globe files complaint with NTC against use of illegal repeaters GLOBE Telecom has formally filed a complaint with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) against the use of illegal repeaters as part of its intensified efforts to track down users and sellers of the equipment that cause network interference for subscribers in a specific area. Illegal repeaters come in the form of indoor or outdoor antennas and wireless adapters that boost network coverage and sig-
nal by means of hogging bandwidth from a legitimate Globe network infrastructure. They are installed in between trees, building windows, toilet areas, rooftop areas and building spaces, making them increasingly hard to locate. As a result, Globe subscribers experience dropped calls as well as a significant dip in call quality and clarity. Monitoring reports from Globe Network Group revealed that there was a sigGLOBE/PAGE 15
Davao Oriental media deplore another killing DAVAO Oriental––The killing of media man Nestor Libaton and other attacks on the Davao Oriental media has prompted the National Union of Journalists of the Pphilippines (NUJP) to issue unity statements, yesterday. The statements according to Jeffrey M. Tupas, NUJP director, urged all members of the working press representing various media organizations in the Davao region, to strongly condemn the recent murder of Libaton last May 8. “The killing of Libaton has put media workers in this province in more peril as they risk their profession and their very lives in their duties as journalists,” the statament said. Media attacks in Davao Oriental have intensified in the past years. On 2010, there was the murder of radio blocktime announcer Jesiderio Camangyan, known for his hard-hitting commentaries against illegal logging. GRENADE/PAGE 15

The good-for-nothing Think a minute. Guiseppe’s Papa came from a family of fishermen. In fact, for 300 years the men in his family had been fishermen in the country of Sicily. His Papa eventually moved to San Francisco where he continued their fishing business. Eventually they had 9 children. All the boys from the time they could walk helped Papa on his fishing boat. All the sons, except Guiseppe! Guiseppe simply could not go because he got so terribly seasick. His stomach just could not take the motion of the boat, or the strong smell of fish. But even when his dad saw how sick Guiseppe got on the boat, he did not accept it. He always told his son
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst Guiseppe that he was goodfor-nothing. Guiseppe was very hurt by his father always criticizing and putting him down. But he still tried his best to help his family in some way. So as a young boy he went out on the streets and worked every job he could find to bring money back to his father. But instead of his Papa being proud of his hard-working son, he kept telling Guiseppe he was lazy and good-for-nothing. Finally, Guiseppe just
gave up on ever pleasing his dad. He got involved in sports and discovered that he was a very talented, natural athlete, especially in baseball. In fact, he became the most successful son in his whole family. That young boy whom his Papa had always called good-fornothing, became one of the greatest professional baseball players in history. You may have even heard of Guiseppe by his American name, Guiseppe…Joe…
DiMaggio. You see, Guiseppe Joe Dimaggio refused to believe all the bad things his dad said about him. He never stopped trying until he finally found his special abilities. So even if your own family has told you that you’ll never be successful and that you’re good-for-nothing, don’t believe them. Just forgive them and know that your heavenly Father created you for great things. You CAN become successful and reach your full potential. Just ask Jesus Christ to take control of your life every day, and He’ll help you to forgive and forget the past hurts, so you can move on to become all He made you to be. Just Think a Minute.
City hall must get rid of deadwoods IT is very unfortunate that there are department heads at City Hall who do not deserve the position for one reason or another. It is clear that these department heads have not gone trainings on organization and management that they do not even know how to dispense assignments. In the end, honest and hardworking workers suffer their ineptitude. In most cases, the city’s services suffer Cris Diaz because of their incompetence. Worst, these department heads create an impression that the city government is incompetent, too. For instance, Malacanang was not happy on the sloppiness of the city’s social services toward victims of Typhoon Sendong the day after the disaster. National officials berated the capability of the City Social Welfare Department (CSWD) in addressing urgent needs of typhoon victims. This prompted Malacanang to order the regional Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to take over in handling concerns of Sendong victims. City Mayor Vicente Emano was furious over the incident. Emano then lashed at Acting CSWD head Nena Salon with a mouthful. Nena Salon? Afterward, Salon was reportedly telling workers that she has not experienced being berated by anyone before. She wants to retire. No, do not do that, Ms. Salon. The city needs you. However, you should not be at the CSWD since the office is not for you. The problem with Ms. Salon is that she wants to do anything at the CSWD as she wishes. She pulled out some workers and reassigned these workers without even conferring with them. She never consulted these workers. She never had had second thoughts on whether
her action is for the best interest of the city government. At one time, she wanted all CSWD assigned at Barangay Nazareth relieved and reassigned to another Barangay. Reason: Barangay Nazareth is the bailiwick of the Rodriguezes. Salon wants Nazareth deprived of the city’s social welfare services since the Rodriguezes are politically at odds with Mayor ‘Dongkoy’ Emano. What a childish argument for a department head to entertain such thoughts. Perhaps, Salon thinks that depriving Barangay Nazareth of much needed social services would be politically advantageous to Emano. On the contrary, doing so would add weapons to the political opposition’s propaganda arsenal to discredit Emano’s administration. Some city officials who learned of Salon’s discretionary plan were appalled of the selfishness of the scheme. In a sense, we say discretionary because Mayor Emano will never accede to Salon’s plans. Depriving Barangay Nazareth of social services that the city offers to its constituents run counter to Emano’s avowed duty to serve the poor. Perhaps, Salon is still holding on that plan. Salon could be just waiting the right moment to execute such despicable plan. In the meantime, could this department head be doing everything to discredit the Emano administration albeit surreptitiously? She has not gone to the ‘Tent Cities’ at Indahag to personally inspect condition of the relocated Sendong victims there. The reason why many Sendong victims are not willing to be relocated in Indahag’s free houses and lots could be traced to Salon’s lack of organizational skills. Definitely, Salon failed to convince Sendong victims to value the opportunity that the Emano administration has incessantly worked for them. Is Salon unfit for the CSWD job? We will have more of this. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com
Evil in our midst THE world will never be peaceful to live in. It will never be. People can never live in peace. He will always be in trouble every now and then. The reason is evils are in our midst. We live with it. We breath with it. We see it almost every moment. We feel, we touch, we are surrounded. Evils are like the air we need. There is nothing we can do but engage in the ugly games of the evils and still be people that we are. Our eyes play and accept evils. We commit things that necessarily should not be. We are tempted to do things
The Striker
Ben Emata Jr. we are not supposed to do. It is a simple art of things that are bad. Around us are temptations to commit things forbidden. We fall into sins because to fight it out is almost always impossible. People are indeed sinners and they commit sins everyday.
For one thing man will never be contented of himself. He will never be like an island and entirely of himself. Always he touches the lives of others and his attractions to things around will lead him to do things not right. He cannot survive for himself. He cannot possibly
maintain life without doing things sometimes beyond his capabilities. Look at our politicians. Some of them begin the life of a politician as a poor individual. Nearly nothing in his possession. He works hard and discover that there are things around that could change his lifestyle and personality. He touches things and manage to grow with evils. In due time, he discovers himself a changed man and a new man. He is wealthy in not so long a time. See some professionals like doctors, lawyers, EVIL/PAGE 13

Binay inaugurates 12 LGU-initiated housing buildings in Valenzuela City VICE President and Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Chairperson, The Honorable Jejomar C. Binay leads the inauguration today of the recently completed 12, 16-unit housing buildings at Disiplina Village, Valenzuela City’s housing project for typhoon Ondoy victims. With this construction development from the efforts of the City Government of Valenzuela and its esteemed partners from the private sector, the housing buildings in the village now totals to 15, with 41 more currently being erected to accommodate the target 900 family relocatees. To be transferred to the new buildings are the 192 second batch of beneficiary families who will be awarded with Certificates of Occupancy as legitimate residents of the housing project, summing up the total residents of the village to 238 families. These lucky families were determined through draw lots of names of around 900 families that either partially or totally lost their homes during the Typhoon Ondoy tragedy in 2009.
GATCHALIAN Coinciding with the activity is the Ground Breaking of Disiplina Village Phase II which will accommodate the remaining 960 families out of the total of 1,860 victim families in the city. This was made possible through a partnership with the National Housing Authority (NHA) as a beneficiary of the President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” C. Aquino III’s directive to release “10 Billion-Peso Fund to Relocate Informal Settler Families Residing Along Danger Areas in Metro Manila.” The Memorandum of Agreement for the project will, likewise, be signed in the presence of the beneficiaries.

Disiplina Village is the fisrt initiative in the country to address the devastating impact of Typhoon Ondoy, not only to Valenzuela, but to the whole country. It is cotangent with the National Government’s pledge to find permanent homes for 584,425 informal settler families in the metropolis, particularly the estimated 105,000 living in dangerprone areas such as riverbanks, esteros, waterways, under bridges, roadways or sidewalks and aqueducts. City Mayor WIN Gatchalian was the first local executive to fight for in-city relocation for the families
displaced by the Northrail project, realizing how much impact forced migration has to families. Off-city relocation projects reportedly further worsen the impact of displacement to the relocates as it disrupts the living condition of the beneficiaries rather than improve them. They are being uprooted with scarce options to livelihood, with other problems commonly being encountered, such as water, sanitation, healthcare and education facilities. These experiences force them to return to or near their previous area of residence, and become informal
settlers again. Mayor WIN, a The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Awardee for Public Service for his advocacy and conviction of “changing lives” through education and community development said that, in his personal assessment after consulting with the informal settlers, nobody really wants to live in danger areas, but they do because circumstances force them to. “Gusto ng mga tao na maging malapit sa kanilang pinagtatrabahuhan. Kapag nilipat kasi sila sa malayo, wala silang pagkakakitaan. Hindi naman nila kayang
kumita sa pagtatanim. Iyon ang request nila kaya pinagbigyan namin sila. (They want to relocate near their jobs. If they transfer to a far-flung place, they will lose income. They cannot rely on agriculture for livelihood. That was their request and we granted it)”. He said. Through Mayor WIN’s call to help Valenzuelano victim families rise from devastation of Ondoy in 2009, businesses and industries based in the city pulled together resources to raise fund for the construction of housing units to take them BINAY/PAGE 13

Radon is a natural radioactive gas that occurs at higher than normal levels in certain parts of the U.S. The gas can build up inside homes and raise the risk of lung cancer, especially in people who smoke. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. About 12% of lung cancer deaths are linked to radon exposure. The gas can’t be seen or smelled, but can be detected with simple test kits.

12 NCCA bares 100th birth centennial celebration of national artists for music FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2012
THE National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) celebrates the 100th Birth Centennial of Felipe Padilla de Leon, National Artist for Music (May 1, 1912- May 1, 2012). President Benigno S. Aquino III signed Proclamation No. 283, declaring May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013 as the Centennial Year of National Artist for Music Felipe Padilla de Leon. Likewise, the House of Representatives has issued for the same purpose House Joint Resolution No. 25, introduced by House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Jr., Congressman Neptali M. Gonzales II, Congressman Edcel C. Lagman, Congressman Salvador H. Escudero III, and Congressman Rodolfo W. Antonino. Composer, conductor, scholar and cultural educator Felipe Padilla de Leon launched his calling at a time of passionate striving for nationhood during the Commonwealth period, Japanese occupation and the post-war Philippine Republic, he stood out most prominently as the champion of Filipino cultural dignity and identity. He always depicted what is noble, exalted and heroic in the Filipino, taking as his subjects the momentous events and symbols in our history and celebrated their deepest meanings through music. Hence, he wrote the first fulllength Filipino opera based on Dr. Jose Rizal’s novel of social real-

He followed this up with another opera, again based on a Rizal masterpiece, “El Filibusterismo” (1970). Two arias from this opera, “Kay Tamis ng Buhay” and “Awit ni Sisa” are now part of the international operatic repertoire. Right after liberation, de Leon composed the symphonic poems “Cry of Balintawak” (1947) and “Bataan” (1947). Central to his idea of recognizing Filipino cultural worth is his consistent use of folk and ethnic themes as the basis of his compositions, for these themes – created by the people themselves – are the essential

symbols of Filipino musical heritage. He celebrated folk ideas by integrating their character in his most serious compositions as well as popular but artistic and well-crafted works. His art song “Kay Selya” (1950) breathes the very spirit of the traditional awit. His “Muntawit” Song Sonnet for Voice and Orchestra (1950) encompasses an epic breadth of moods and feelings while strongly retaining the character of indigenous musical forms. His well-known “Sapagkat Mahal Kita” (1952) could be mistaken for a traditional harana because of its highly popular style. His Filipinization of musical genres included zarzuelas, overtures, suites, chamber works, choral music, concertos, piano solos, band music, film music, children’s songs and Christmas carols. His carols “Pasko na Naman,” “Noche Buena,” and “Payapang Daigdig” have become so popular they have acquired the immortal status of folk songs. His genuine concern for the Filipino musicians’ welfare led de Leon to gather band musicians in the country into one solid organization – the Pambasang Samahan ng mga Banda sa Pilipinas (PASAMBAP) – whose aims, among others, were to protect the welfare of Filipino band musicians and promote Philippine band music. He was also the founding president of the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP), to protect the legal rights of composers. During his prodigious lifetime, Maestro de Leon was the most prolific composer of musical masterpieces that powerfully expressed the nation’s ideals, historical struggles and majestic destiny. For his outstanding achievements, he was wellrecognized during his lifetime and continues to receive tributes from our people. National Artist Felipe Padilla

While nearly all of them turn out to be good citizens and professionals, still some fell into a ditch of shame. It is like being part of life that one is pulled to the ugly side of things. Even people serving the various churches commit crimes or just manage to get involved in matters not within their job. Still they fall into regrets and shames and naturally destroy in some ways the good image of their group. Nobody lives in comfort of perfection because as sinners, always we commit sometimes not within the theory of righteousness. It is not because there seems to be a law of nature that make us ugly. It is temptations of committing the evils. If we can, therefore, fight it off to minimize things in its normal conditions, people will still be clean

current wage order should not be altered for a period of 12 months from its effectivity unless there are extraordinary supervening conditions. In a resolution issued by the RTWPB-NCR last March, it said the increases in prices of oil products and basic commodities cannot be considered as extraordinary. “The increase in oil prices and basic commodities might be a factor but there are other considerations,” Macaraya said. He explained that the RTWPB determines any supervening condition and once this is done, the RTWPB can act and decide on a petition for a wage increase even before the one year prohibition. (PNA)

aims to circulate the whole of Mindanao Island very soon,” Sudaria said. “We did this because a bigger paper in size and pages would serve its purpose more. I managed to engage the services of more editors and writers to handle the varied issues that Mindanao readers need to know,” Sudaria added. The Mindanao Daily News has upped its circulation to serve more cities and provinces. Newest circulation areas include Zamboanga City, Lanao del Norte, Surigao, Tangub and Agusan del Norte. The paper focuses more on political and community developments aside from the usual fastbreaking and hard news that come from cities and provinces of the island. To give venue also to Arts, Culture and Social developments, the Mindanao Daily News comes out with a Mindanao Weekend Special every Saturday.

nificant increase in interference cases in the National Capital Region, specifically in Makati over the last 3 months, with over 80 sites affected. Taking a proactive stance to combat the growing number of cases that involve the use of illegal repeaters, Globe and NTC started to conduct a joint ocular inspection in February this year to confiscate illegally-installed repeaters and clamp down on sellers of illegal repeaters, including online retailers of these devices. To showcase the serious implications of the illegal practice, NTC issued a show cause order this month to an owner of an illegal repeater in San Andres, Manila. “Network and clean frequencies are important components for quality delivery of our services. The use of illegal repeaters in order to get good network coverage at the expense of others has no place in this society. It’s a totally unfair practice especially as it impacts a great majority of subscribers in an identified area,” said Atty. Froilan M. Castelo, Head for Corporate and Legal Services at Globe. “With our strengthened partnerships with the police, courts, and other government institutions like the NTC, Globe will remain relentless in going after and prosecuting perpetrators, both users and sellers, to ensure a stable, consistent, and reliable network for Globe subscribers nationwide.” Globe earlier announced that it is in the thick of a massive $700-million landmark mobile network modernization program that will increase its 2G/3G coverage significantly, enable faster call and data connections, on-time delivery of text messages, and reduced incidence of dropped calls even at peak hours and traffic-heavy occasions. The modernized Globe network is designed to be future-proof, capable of using the most advanced 4G technologies such as HSPA+ and long term evolution (LTE). It is also IPv6 ready and boasts of an all-IP infrastructure for business customers.

from page 1 Until now, the case against the murder suspect has dragged on. That same year, another radio announcer Nonoy Bacalso was slapped by the provincial governor inside the radio booth, following Bacalso’s comments against illegal logging operations reportedly protected by the governor’s brother and mayor of that town. Another block-time announcer, Joanna Mabini was stopped from going on-air as she was suspected of feeding Bacalso such information. Two days after Libaton’s murder, another radioman, Lito Labra, has received messages through his cellphone condemning his commentaries against mining activities in the province. “The fate these journalists experienced shows how perilous it is for media in Davao Oriental to express critical opinion against authorities and businesses that have low tolerance for criticisms. In fact, not only media workers face this kind of intolerance. Other sectoral leaders of the province have also faced threats for advocacy against logging and mining. In 2009, Eulogio Baltazar, an officer of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources office (PENRO) who was critical of illegal logging and mining activities in Davao Oriental was murdered. Ludenio Monzon, a lumad leader who opposed mining in their community was shot dead in the same year. “ Under such background of impunity, Libaton’s death sends a chilling effect not only to media, but also to those who are critical of the situation in Davao Oriental. It intends to show that those in power cannot and should not be subject to criticism. But we media workers know that the attack against one of our ranks is also an attack against the tenets of
freedom of the press and the freedom of expression. For when media and other sectors become silent, who then will defend the people against the abuses of people in authority and the plunder of resources? We raise our cry not only for justice for Nestor Libaton, but we also raise our cry to protect journalists in their line of duty. Task forces to solve killings are not enough this time. Police investigations should point out the masterminds that would most likely be those who hide in the cloak of authority. Until then, we do not cower or step back from our duties. Let us press forward the right of the people to know and to defend media workers in the battleground for truth and justice., “ the staement said. The NUJP Davao Oriental called on media colleagues to join a mass action on Thursday, May 17, 1pm at the Freedom Park of Mati in Davao Oriental.

the minimum wage from P426 to P560. RT WPB-NCR chairperson Alan Macaraya said there will be an increase but the amount is yet to be decided by the board. “Critical yung amount dito eh, but I don’t know yet how much because that’s what we’re going to discuss. Hopefully, we agree on the new wage order this afternoon kasi nga we’re dealing with two sectors,” he said. The NCR wage board concluded on Thursday its
final public consultation on wage hike, attended by labor groups, government officials and business sector. Labor groups have been pressing the government for a wage increase even before the expiration of the current wage order on May 26. However, the wage board said there is no supervening condition in Metro Manila that would warrant a wage increase before the expiration of the wage order. Macaraya said the LABOR/PAGE 14
