Retailers group cuts LPG prices by P1/kilo
Independent retailers of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on Thursday slashed product prices by P1 per kilo. LPG Marketers Association (LPG/MA) party-list Rep. Arnel Ty said the P1 rollback would translate into a P11-markdown per tank since a regular cylinder of LPG weighs 11 kilos. Last May 16, the group, composed of independent retailers of cooking gas, also shed P1 per kilogram off their prices. LPG/MA memb erbrands include Island Gas, Regasco Gas, Pinnacle Gas, Cat Gas, M-Gas, Omni Gas and Nation Gas. Ty attributed the continued price cuts to the downtrend in world contract prices of LPG. As such, he said consumers can look forward to more price reductions on LPG products, possibly reaching up to P5 per kilo. philippine news agency

SEVERAL Catholic bishops have favored the challenge of Chief Justice Renato Corona for all lawmakers to publicly disclose their statement of assets and liabilities. Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said public leaders should take the challenge and sign a waiver to also open their dollar and peso bank accounts if they have nothing hide. “Those accusing him should also set the example by disclosing their dollar accounts,” Pabillo told church-run Radio Veritas Wednesday. “That’s why the challenge of the Chief Justice is good for other lawmakers to show their assets.” “There is really something wrong when they want a person to disclose his dollar accounts but his accusers refuse to do the same or don’t want to be transparent,” he said.

19 rebel returnees receive cash gifts By Sean Sulugan Correspondent
MALAYBALAY City–– Nineteen rebel returnees received cash assistance from provincial government of Bukidnon on May 23. Governor Alex Calingasan personally handed over the checks to the beneficiaries. Eighteen of them who surrendered with firearms received P15,000 each but those who surrendered without their firearms received only P5,000. Calingasan said that he extended his assistance to the rebel returnees to assist them in starting their new lives. He, however, explained that the assistance of the province is not handed over simultaneously because of its limited resources. He said the province had other projects to attend to like the energy, and foot bridge of Barangay Kibongkog in San Fernando. Calingasan wanted also the provincial agriculture to procure seeds of corn and coffee to assist them in their livelihood.

Divide and conquer THINK a minute. Millions of children today come from broken families. But have you ever wondered if children of divorced parents totally get over it? Do they bounce back to live truly healthy, happy lives? Or are there any longterm damages done to kids by their parents divorcing? Recent statistics show that 90 percent of children from divorced families experienced serious shock, grief, and fears. Fifty percent felt rejected and abandoned. One third of the kids feared being left even by the parent they were still living with. Two thirds experienced extreme loneliness for their other parent they were not living with. And surprisingly, 37 percent of the
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst children were even more unhappy five years after the divorce than they were when it first happened. In other words, time did not heal their wounds and pain. After the children of divorced parents grew up, 40 percent of them never married, compared to only 16 percent of children who grew up with both their parents. Children of divorce were more likely to use drugs and alcohol before age 14. They had less social skills
and confidence, and were less successful at university. They were also more likely to commit crimes. Girls whose parents divorced experimented with sex at an earlier age and were more likely to get pregnant as unmarried teenagers. In fact, the evidence is very strong that the damage from divorce in one way or another lasts a lifetime. You see, since marriage is the foundation of the family, it makes sense that if you destroy the marriage
you destroy the family. The old saying “Divide and Conquer” has been working to hurt and destroy millions of children’s lives. That’s exactly what divorce in a family does. But if you’ve already divorced, it’s never too late to start loving and putting your children first. In fact, the only one who can help you fix and heal the damage to your family is the one who created families. So why not ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for your mistakes and wrongs you’ve done to your mate and children? Then ask Jesus to help you start changing. He’ll help you to love your mate and children without conditions, so they can become the strong, happy and successful adults you want them to be. Just Think a Minute.
The country’s imperiled sovereignty THE Corona impeachment and the Scarborough Shoal conflict are two important issues of the Philippine government today. Both the Corona and Scarborough Shoal issues involved national security concerns. While most people are interested in the Corona impeachment, they have forgotten the national significance of the Scarborough Shoal. The Scarborough Shoal issue challenges Cris Diaz the national security of the Filipino people – it challenges the very existence of the country as well. Without doubt, the Corona impeachment is a political issue sponsored by the incumbent administration. The Corona brouhaha manifests the kind of politics that this country cherished in the name of democracy. Yes, many considered the Corona issue as an exercise of ‘democracy.’ It is an irony that one of the advantages in a democratic county is the unbridled exercise of freedom to destroy its very own institution. The Filipinos love it. While the nation is focusing its energy on the trial of the Chief Justice, it has forgotten the most urgent problem of the country today. The Scarborough Shoal and the territorial conflict in the disputed islets of Spratly Islands are of more importance than Corona issue. However, this administration believes that with Corona at the helm of the Supreme Court, it feels helpless in addressing the Scarborough Shoal conflict. Thus, it does not matter that while the impeachment trial is in progress, the Chinese are encroaching into the country’s territorial seas. Yesterday, news report had it that more than two dozen Chinese fishing boats had moored at the Scarborough Shoal. These Chinese anglers
are escorted by Chinese battle frigates. The Chinese anglers had been harvesting the shoal’s treasured marine species including giant clams that Filipino anglers did not touch as part of marine conservation program of the government. All the while, the incumbent administration is glued with unseating the Chief Justice of the High Court as a declared political enemy. The Chief Justice was also suspect of rendering judgments inimical to the interest of the country’s highest elected public official. Of course, we are talking of President Benigno S. Aquino III. Sometimes, we ponder on thoughts that the judiciary branch of the government should be a rubber stamp of an incumbent administration so this country could move on. Never mind the legislative branch of the government. With a historic record as Malacanang’s rubber stamp, the legislative branch of the government is an institution that moves only at the behest of the President. In other words, the legislative branch of the government is unreliable on matters of national interest. After all, the meaning of national interest is only significant as defined by Malacanang. It is for this reason that Congress is seemingly silent on Scarborough Shoal issue. Remember the 188 congressional representatives who signed the impeachment of the Chief Justice? Certainly, these congressional representatives signed the impeachment complaint on suspicions that the Aquino administration bribed them in exchanged of juicy pork barrel. Tomorrow, the Filipino people will wake up with the Chinese might on their doorsteps. No, do not blame yourself. Blame the people that this country entrusted the nation’s fate. It is unfortunate that with this kind of government administration our future generation faces a bleak future. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com
WE miss so much governance in local government. I can only imagine how many more we miss with national issues. Just this week on the news we had two separate car accidents claiming the lives of teenagers. I am assuming this was all drunk driving. The merits of the accident are not the issue but “drunk driving” that continues to be a menace. This Harry Tambuatco is in direct relationship to the drivers and worst of all, pedestrians who become collateral damage. While we all know too well that drunk driving is prohibited we do not penalize or regulate drunk driving on our streets. Our police are too lenient especially to the favored (rich) class when they are accosted but worst of all police not being present. I remember in Sydney where they have what they call booze-busters who block main avenues for a check.
If I remember correctly there were so many apprehended loosing their driver’s license they couldn’t afford to loose. The implementation of the law while strict at the least saved countless lives. So why do we take these matters lightly and do nothing about it? There is also the all too convenient stores peddling booze everywhere at all times of the day and night. There is no restriction selling booze to minors. And for that matter insert cigarettes in as well. It is very much like our pollution issues. Drive down EDSA and one could easily apprehend the many utility bus and jeepney drivers who ply it daily. Private motorists are not exempt especially with their poorly maintained diesel engines. The implementation of the law is no longer in place and our bronchial deterioration degenerates but most especially the police who ply the streets are exacerbated. Then of course there are the speed driven crazies who think they are the fast and the furious. There are of course the gun-toting citizens who police/PAGE 7

GLOBE Telecom, through its corporate arm Globe Business, pushes efforts to increase awareness and accelerate adoption of Carrier Ethernet services in the Philippines on the back of increasing focus on business continuity and disaster recovery centers; importance of compliances, regulations and convergence; IP migration, as well as the evolution of border-less enterprises. In an Ethernet Forum for its enterprise customers, Globe Business educated its clients on the true benefits of Carrier Ethernet services. With enterprises operating in multiple locations around the world, they require interconnection among their service providers as they expect the same service function and performance in all their branches. Carrier Ethernet is currently the leading technology for real-time services including VoIP, disaster recovery, video conferencing
and other enterprise applications. The increasing usage of various applications such as core banking, broadcasting, PoS/ ATM applications and content is playing a key role in the Ethernet market growth. Bandwidth intensive applications like IT/ITeS are also generating traction in Ethernet carrier services. A n a l y s t s s h ow t h at worldwide Ethernet service is expected grow past the $40-Billion by 2015, as telecom industry players adopt ethernet services, products, solutions and equipment to meet the demand for backhaul and content rich applications, which in turn is fuelled by rising smartphone and tablet adoption rates. “Ethernet helps service providers with better usage of infrastructure and bandwidth utilization to meet the demands,” said Grace JarinCastillo, Head of Enterprise Segments at Globe Business, “Globe has always been a dynamic and pioneering player
Globe pushes PH Ethernet adoption in the telco industry and we have been offering Ethernet services in the country for more than a decade now, benefitting to service providers, equipment vendors and users more quickly with higher quality services at lower cost. We are proud to say that we have made significant investments in our network infrastructure in order to provide high levels of availability and performance to our Ethernet subscribers.” Speaking at the forum were Tellabs’ Systems Solutions for APAC Neelaksh Sharma, who shared his insights on the latest market trends and cost benefits of Carrier Ethernet and provided information on Ethernet access infrastructure for both Ethernet and IP services; Globe Business Technical Solutions Architect Gilbert Virtucio, on the other hand, discussed specific case studies on successful Ethernet deployments. He also spoke about the
next generation Carrier Ethernet, CE 2.0, which is characterized by three powerful features – Multiple Classes of Service (Multi-CoS), Interconnect and Manageability. To establish a solid foundation for its Carrier Ethernet services, Globe passed numerous compliance tests and has achieved certifications from the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), the defining body for Carrier Ethernet. Backed by MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications, the company’s customers are guaranteed that the Carrier Ethernet services offered by Globe meet globally-accepted international standards.

Soldiers donate blood to Red Cross KUTA SANG-AN, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur -- In support of national development and in helping save lives, the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, under the Command of BGen. Ricardo Rainier G. Cruz III, has donated 88,200 cc of blood to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC). The said volume of blood was taken from 196 personnel of the Division during the May 19 blood-letting activity, supervised by PRC-Pagadian City Chapter Coordinator Hildaliza F. Munoz. The activity meant to provide the local PRC Red

Agrarian Reform Community, Avanceña Beneficiaries Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative (ABFMPC) submitted a proposal for ARCCESS funding, a rice production and palay trading. It has already been reviewed at DAR regional office and forwarded for approval at the national level”, Hermoso revealed. Hermoso said that after the needs assessment, DAR will hire a professional service provider from the private sector and nongovernment organizations to coach the ARB organization in day-to-day business operations of common service facilities and in organizational strengthening activities. He added that ARCCESS consists of a package of interventions to raise farm income and productivity to improve rural enterprises to become commercially viable. In a related development, DAR-Agusan del Norte OIC chief of the Beneficiaries Development and Coordination Division informed that DAR, in partnership with the Surigao del Norte College of Agriculture and Technology, has conducted a needs validation to determine specific interventions that DAR will provide through ARCCESS. Miranda said ARCCESS will be implemented as public-private partnership in which DAR will tap the expertise of the private sector and other private institutions to provide professional services to ARB organizations and link these organizations to agri-markets.

struggle to preserve their own culture, tradition and practices, the onslaught of modern technologies brought by “outsiders” into their tribal life caused them to “reject” being connected to the mini-hydro power plant. “When we constructed the mini-hydro power plant, we wanted it to energize the whole community of 50 households. However, the people preferred to be connected to the Bukidnon Second Electric Cooperative (BUSECO) because they already have refrigerators, televisions, and other appliances that rely on electricity,” said ESSC Program Director Eric “Popoy” Bruno.

ates the Apu Palamguwan Cultural Education Center (APC) in Sitio Bendum as a response to the desire of the Pulangiyen people to read, write and be educated in the context of their culture and life. The APC adheres to a needs- and culture-based education, a strong advocacy of Walpole, who believes that if one is to be a productive contributor to society he/she needs to be deeplyrooted in his/her culture. The APC also emphasizes the importance of making education accessible to indigenous cultural communities and in making the education system responsive to the needs of the people. It also recognizes the importance of integrating the community’s knowledge system and way of life in the school curriculum to sustain the culture and tradition of the Pulangiyen and other cultural groups in the area. Bruno said the APC is the only structure in picturesque Bendum that is powered by the mini-hydro power plant. He, however, sees a very good future for the hydro plant as it now serves as a model that a small sitio or even barangay can be energized by a small freeflowing stream. “We just have to be resourceful in taking advantage of whatever resources we have. But in doing so, we have to keep in mind that these resources are finite and therefore we have to use them sustainably. It is also important that we protect our immediate environment because it is our resource base,” he stressed. In the construction of the mini-hydro plant and
spring box, the ESSC made sure that no trees were felled or cut. The ESSC also maintains a reforestation area upstream in order to make the mini-hydro power plant viable for many years in the future. (Bong D. Fabe)

“If political leaders really want transparency, they should disclose all their assets. Let’s be open,” Pabillo added. Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles also believes that taking Corona’s challenge would erase doubt on every politician’s credibility. “The nation will benefit a lot if they will sign a waiver,” Arguelles said. In yesterday’s trial, Corona made a surprise move when he signed a waiver that would allow the opening of his and his wife’s bank deposits, including dollar accounts, and to reveal to the public his assets, net worth, and business interests. However, he said that he would submit his waiver of the Bank Secretary Deposits Law under RA 1405 and

poor morals they project on broadcast. The cross-dressers and the gay community are all so relevant on these mediums they promote their promiscuity. Listen to the AM-talk radios in the day time and you will hear all the gay-speak as if this was the norm. We cannot blame the President for the many many issues local government has been remiss with. The elections are around the corner and unless we vote on competent and working leaders to clean up the streets, the local laws, and for regulation to be implemented we will only deteriorate. It is not all about the impeachment. It is not all about the celebrities and the prizes the masses pay attention to. Should the non-body politic continue to control our environment only we will suffer its consequence? May I suggest we all take an active stand for this election and vote the competent people who will do the job? We can go on and on but for what purpose – to bash governance? Are our streets safe? Are we paying good money thru our taxes (considering we are taxed daily with the EVAT law) only to be murdered in our streets?
