CAGAYAN de Oro City––The Philippines is fast losing its stature as the leader in global marine Biodiversity that will surely impact on the Filipinos health, social and economic life because of climate change, ocean pollution and overfishing, the international environmental group Greenpeace said Thursday.

Vince Cinches, oceans campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia, said that if government will not act fast enough, Filipino communities that rely on the rich marine ecosystems for food will go hungry.

If the Aquino administration does not act fast enough to mitigate the problem, some 1.2 million jobs in the fishing, tourism and the food sectors will be directly affected by poor oceans management, Greenpeace said in a statement.

“We are an archipelagic nation. Soon, we will become the epicenter of global marine adversity if our government agencies refuse to acknowledge and address the crisis at sea,” said Vince Cinches, Oceans Campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia.

Cinches expressed alarm over the unprecedented destruction of the Philippine marine ecosystem that foreshadows serious CRISIS | page 11

‘Mindanao peace pact will eradicate kidnapping, extortion’

By Rene V. Carbayas ISABELA City, Basilan––The successful implementation of the peace framework agreement between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) would result in the normalization of the peace and order situation in conflict-affected areas in Mindanao and will lead to the eradication of such notorious crimes as kidnapping, banditry and extortion, ARMM officials said.

In a statement, Police Chief Superintendent Mario Avenio,

head of the ARMM Police Regional Office, said the successful implementation of GPH-MILF Framework Agreement was “the key to a much-improved security situation in the region, paving the way for stability and progress.”

With the peace framework agreement, Avenio said he expects the police to intensify the campaign to implement legal orders such as arrest warrants issued by the courts against criminal elements like kidnappers, extortionists and bandits.

“The police will pursue its legal offensives against individuals

who disrupt the peace, order, and tranquility without considering the hapless civilians victimized by their dastardly acts,” Avenio added.

The official added that the implementation of the peace framework agreement would impact in the peace and order conditions in key Mindanao areas notorious for kidnapping and extortion activities “These kidnappers and other criminals thrive in areas where there is conflict between the military and rebel forces. They take advantage of the situation in

pursuit of their criminal activities,” said one police official who requested anonymity.

“We hope that once the peace and order situation in these areas are normalized with the elimination of kidnapping, extortion and plain banditry, we can do away with those negative travel advisories from foreign countries that is giving Mindanao a bad image here and abroad,” the official said.

He added that with peace coming to Mindanao, “we expect better law enforcement to follow as well as better tourism opportunities and eventually, economic

prosperity.”

For his part, ARRM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman said the breakthrough in the 15-yearold peace negotiations with the MILF “only indicates that the Bangsamoro people will soon harvest the seed of a lasting peace in Mindanao.”

“The reforms that are being undertaken in ARMM are geared towards helping the government and the MILF eradicate, if not ease, the problem on corruption, poverty and unstable peace and order,” he said. (RVC/DSE/ PIA9-ZBST)

Davao Mayor favors legalize sex industry

by the Divisions and the commission en banc already affirmed the decision,” Brillantes said.

However, the resolutions of the respective groups’ case were not yet available at the moment.

He noted that the groups can f ile an app eal b efore Supreme Court (SC).

On the other hand, Brillantes said they expected to complete the review and deliberations of all the 87 remaining groups with existing accreditation before the end of the month.

DAVAO City––Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio is in favor of legalizing prostitution as proposed by the United Nations (UN).

She said this will provide sex workers “access to basic rights and to control the spread of sexually transmitted infections” such as Human Immuno-defficiency Virus (HIV).

Duterte-Carpio said that it would be better to legalize prostitution so that sex workers would not be in hiding anymore.

In Davao City, the mayor said HIV cases did not come from female sex workers but from overseas workers or men who were sexually involved with other men.

Duterte-Carpio said the city health office in partnership with a non-government organization had already extended social services to female commercial sex workers.

“Our prostitutes were monitored and we have a partner NGO with city health office which conducts regular check-up on them and orient them about safe sex,” the mayor said.

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has barred 15 party-list groups, including the Kapatiran ng mga Nakakulong na Walang Sala (KAKUSA), from participating in the May 2013 polls.

“We are canceling their accreditation, therefore, they can no longer participate in the 2013 party-list elections,” said Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes.

Skeletal remains exhumed, buried

DUTERTE-CARPIO

In its report entitled “Sex Work and the Law in Asia and the Pacific,” the United Nations urged the Philippines and other Asian countries to decriminalize sex-related jobs.

“The legal recognition of sex work as an occupation enables sex workers to claim benefits, to form or join unions and to access work-related banking, insurance, transport, and pension schemes,” the report posted on Yahoo News said.

The report added that when decriminalized, the sex industry could now be subject to general laws regarding the health and safety of the workplace without discrimination.

By Ryan Cumahig Cagula CAMP Rodriguez, Butuan City––The Police Regional Office (PRO-13) and the Regional Crime Laboratory (RCLO-13) have jointly given decent burial to the skeletal remains of victims of ‘communist’ mass killings decades ago.

The ceremonies were held at the Chinese Cemetery here in the city, morning of October 22, this year.

According to Police Supt. Martin M. Gamba, PRO-13 chief information officer, the skeletal remains were earlier exhumed from mass graves in Nasipit,

Agusan del Norte on June 15, 2006; Barangays Taligaman, Pinamanculan and Libertad, this city, on June 21, 2006, February 12, 2012 and August 30, 2012 respectively.

On April 3, this year, more skeletal remains were recovered inside a cave in Brgy. Poblacion, Bacuag, Surigao del Norte.

Only those of 15-year old Sonny Boy Plaza and 38-year old Olong Mantilogco were identified, through forensic anthropological examinations conducted by RCLO-13.

They were claimed by their respective families, P/Supt.

Gamba further said.

It was learned that Plaza and Mantilogco were charged and sentenced to death by the kangaroo court of the underground movement.

He added, “by giving them decent burial, the victims may now rest in peace but their cr y for justice will forever hunt the conscience of everyone who had deprived them the right to live.” (RCC/asf )

Zamboanga to raise electric rates despite long, pestering power outages

By AL JACINTO of Mindanao Daily News ZAMBOANGA City––Zamboanga, touted as one of the highly-urbanized cities in the Philippines, is now suffering from pestering power outages and despite this problem, the local power cooperative is pursuing a new hike in electricity charges.

Residents have been complaining of long hours of blackout almost several times every day and that this has been going on for weeks now. The power outages also damaged many of their appliances.

The Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative has blamed the lack of sufficient power supply in Mindanao as the cause of the blackout.

It said this is aggravated by the maintenance shutdown of the coal-fired power plant run by Steag State Power in Misamis Oriental province.

Just this year, the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative also inked a deal with Aboitiz Power’s Therma Marine Incorporated (TMI) for additional 18 MW (megawatts) of electricity and putting the burden of

paying P37 million to the consumers.

TMI, which operates power barges in Mindanao, is also supplying electricity to other areas in Mindanao due to power curtailment imposed by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, which is owned by tycoon Henry Sy Jr. The Aboitiz Group has been involved in the Philippine electricity industry the past seven decades. It said it would allocate P35 billion more for Mindanao to increase power capacity in the region which is suffering from electricity shortage.

But residents in Davao where Aboitiz Power plans to put up coal-fired power plants are strongly protesting because of the pollution brought about by this facility.

Mindanao needs about 1,597 MW daily and its current power output is below 1,200 MW. In Zamboanga City, the daily power consumption is about 100 MW and the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative gets a little over half of its total requirements.

With the power outages

Linemen of the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative work on a high-tension electrical wire without safety helmet, leather or rubber gloves and safety shoes. Zamboanga City is experiencing long hours of pestering power outages the past weeks and the electric cooperative blames the lack of power supply in Mindanao, but despite this problem it is pushing for new hike in electricity charges. (Al Jacinto)

in Zamboanga, the Conal Holdings Corporation now is putting up a 100 MW coal-fired power plant, despite strong opposition from many residents in the village of Talisayan where it plans to operate.

Conal Holdings has already signed a memorandum of agreement with the Zamboanga City Freeport and Economic Zone for the fossil fuel power station.

And the coal-fired power plant was even granted a so-called “no-objection” resolution by the Zamboanga City Council, although

a few council members have rejected the project because of pollution and its effect to the environment.

Last year, the head of the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative was sacked by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) over anomalous transactions involving millions of pesos in funding.

Many of its incumbent and former board directors were also removed and disqualified from holding any position in rural electric cooperatives in the country.

Those accused denied all

allegations against them and said all their transactions were legal and sanctioned by the NEA which had denied it.

Local business and civil groups, and politicians questioned the extravagant spending of the power firm despite its ballooning debts which reached over P1 billion.

NEA installed Engineer Jesus Castro as Project Supervisor to oversee the operation of the cooperative, but he was also removed due to alleged anomalies.

Communist rebel leaders said the power crisis in Mindanao is a “grandiose show” to deceive the people and force them to accept the privatization of power plants and the construction of dirty coal-fired power plants. “ The current power plants on the island are capable of producing enough electricity for all of Mindanao’s regions. The power plants are purposely not being operated at full capacity to create an artificial power shortage,” said Jorge Madlos, of the National Democratic Front.

Madlos was referring to

the state-run hydropower and geothermal plants.

“In Mindanao, the Alcantara, Dominguez and Aboitiz families exploited the situation to expand their power generation enterprises in the last two decades.

Now, Henry Sy is using the same scheme to slowly buy out private and governmentowned power plants and monopolize control over the island’s energy sector.

Since the energy sector is deregulated, Sy can raise power rates whenever he wants after he gains possession of the island’s power plants,” he said.

“The monopolization of the island’s energy sector will further raise power rates and cause more suffering to the people of Mindanao.

At present, power rates are already high due to profithungry independent power producers and the imposition of the Value-Added Tax.” The state-run Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation said it was planning to privatize the Agus and Pulangi hydropower plants in Mindanao for reasons that the government cannot afford its maintenance.

Councilor Daday was happy that the AFP has supported the LGU in empowering the youth.

“We believe that through this, our youth will be equipped with the right information and education about the government’s thrusts and programs, enough to make them more productive in their respective communities and allowing them not to be persuaded by groups or individuals, who are out to take advantage of their idealistic minds.”

She reminded the participants that “being the hope of our nation, you should devote your time and best effort to learn from this threeday seminar.”

The first day of the seminar tacked the current situation of the youth sector; second day, the promotion of programs of government and

distinguishing the vital relationship between government and the youth; and third day, the establishment of an ideal youth structure in the community.

Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Jose Leonard Gille, 26IB commanding officer said, “we are greatly honoured and privileged to have been invited by the stakeholders in Agusan del Sur, especially the LGU of Loreto, as partner in moulding our youth into becoming productive leaders in our future.”

He added, such convergence of effort is the best way in advocating and promoting peace in the community.

CEB launches three more domestic routes from Western Visayas THE Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific Air (PSE:CEB) continues its domestic expansion in the 2nd half of 2012, with three new domestic routes launched from Western Visayas.

Last October 25, 2012, CEB launched direct thrice weekly flights from Bacolod to Cagayan de Oro, and direct four times weekly flights from Iloilo to General Santos.

On October 26, 2012, the airline will also launch thrice weekly Iloilo to Puerto Princesa flights.

Both services from Iloilo will utilize an A319 aircraft, while the Bacolod-Cagayan de Oro service will utilize an ATR 72-500 aircraft.

“CEB launched a total of 10 domestic routes from August to October, greatly increasing connectivity within the Philippines and enabling even more Filipinos to travel

by air. These three routes signify our commitment to increase accessibility to and from the Western Visayas region,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

Iloilo, in particular, will be designated as one of CEB’s operational hubs on November 8, 2012, when the airline launches direct flights from Iloilo to Hong Kong and Singapore. These will be the first international flights out of the Iloilo airport.

CEB also launched direct Kalibo (Boracay) – Davao and Iloilo-Tacloban services last August and October, respectively.

To further promote travel with its trademark low fares, CEB announced a seat sale on all bus and ferry domestic routes as low as P188, and all international destinations as low as P688.

Sale period is from October

25 to 28, 2012, for travel from November 15, 2012 until March 31, 2013.

Domestic and international fares are exclusive of check-in baggage, fuel surcharge and countryspecific taxes.

For bookings and inquiries, guests can go to www. cebupacificair.com, or call the reservation hotlines (02) 7020-888 or (032) 230-8888.

The latest seat sales can also be found on CEB’s official Twitter and Facebook pages.

In its 16th year of operations, CEB had flown over 65 million passengers. It provides access to the most extensive network in the Philppines, with 32 domestic and 19 international destinations. The airline also remains a pioneer in the Philippine aviation industry by being the first to offer web check-in, self check-in, e-ticketing, and Lite Fares.

Cybercrime and common sense

By Teresa R. Tunay, OCDS Posted on cbcpnews.com

FINALLY, the government is trying to do something about cybercrime. We’ve put up long enough with our emails being hacked, with porn popping up the monitor while our children are doing their homework, with so much blind hatred assailing the good and the innocent in our midst. It’s about time law and order was imposed on cyberspace! Holding on to Republic Act 10175 (popularly known as cybercrime law), we will clean our information highways, jail the criminals and Tweet happily ever after.

Really? Can one law from Malacañang do it? No. Not without infringing on some basic human rights—thus the uproar against it even before the ink in Noynoy’s signature is dry.

Cybercrime is monstrous, bigger than any nation on earth; stronger, even, than all nations combined.

Criminal activity in cyberspace is abetted by a casually regulated digital infrastructure. Even the nation that thinks of itself as the most powerful on earth—for all its swagger over its scientific and technological superiority—cannot protect itself from operations and intrusions by rival nations. How then do we expect this ill-timed and dubiously conceived decree from a coconut republic to put a cyber monster down?

What makes it look even more laughable is the budget to implement the Act: a puny 50 million pesos annually.

Heller! Anybody there? Fifty million is loose change compared to RH Bill’s 13.7 billion! Clearly, the government does not know the enemy. RA 10175 says it will train enforcers—a cyber army carved out of the PNP? Both here and abroad, communication and information networks are mostly privately owned—how will the law deal with conflicting issues? What policies, processes and technology will be developed? How can the quantum of penalties be imposed?

To persecute criminals in a universe where information travels at the speed of light, there are no automatic solutions. Does the government think it’s as easy as putting a delinquent across its lap and giving him a good spanking? Yes, I am judging its competence because it cannot even address the garbage disposal problem in its own backyard, or deal fairly but firmly with squatters—how can it equip itself against virtually anonymous netizens?

THINK a minute.

Harlan was only five years old when his father died. When Harlan was just 14 he quit school and started working on farms.

At 16, he lied about his age and joined the American army.

After serving only oneyear as a soldier he left and tried becoming a metal worker, but he failed at that too.

Finally, Harlan got a job working on a train locomotive and liked it. He thought he had finally found his place in life.

Harlan married at age 18, but within months he was fired from his job so his bride left him.

Over the next years Harlan worked many more jobs.

He tried selling insurance and car tires.

He tried operating a fer-

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst ryboat. Then he managed a gas station.

But it was no use.

Harlan just seemed to be a born loser!

Finally, late in life, he became a cook and dishwasher at a restaurant. But soon he was too old and forced to retire.

His wife had since returned to him, but he and his family were so poor that they could hardly buy food for their family.

At the age of 65, Harlan’s first retirement check came

Cybercrime should include libel

‘THERE is nothing wrong with the Cybercrime Law,’ Sen. Chiz Escudero said. However, Escudero agreed that there is a need to review the provision on libel provision under the cybercrime law. This corner agrees with Escudero. Although the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 already became effective, the restraining order of the Supreme Court was necessary. Indeed, there Cris Diaz is a need to amend some provisions of the cybercrime law. For instance, provision on libel should be consistent with existing penal laws.

While the cybercrime law is applicable on electronCYBERCIME | page 11 ics communication technology such as the internet and social media networks, its provisions should be consistent with the general rules usually adopted in other countries. The point is that the cybercrime law in the Philippines should harmonize with other laws www.mindanaodailybalita.com adopted in other countries. To harmonize does not necessarily mean that the country’s cybercrime law The Mindanao Daily NEWS (mdn) should duplicate other country’s cybercrime laws.

For instance, most cybercrime laws focused on fraud, newspaper is published daily at Door 2, identity thief, and pornography. These are common cyTanleh Building, Abellanosa St., Brgy.

from the government.

It was so small that it made him very angry. At that moment, He decided to use that small retirement check to start a new business.

Today, that business of Harlan’s is prospering and succeeding all over the world! That man who failed at everything he did all his life, still refused to be a failure!

Harlan decided it was time to start again, because it’s never too late to

change! Guess what that new business was which Harlan started at age 65 with his first retirement check?

Kentucky Fried Chicken.

When Colonel Harlan Sanders changed and became successful at this later age, it was after he asked Jesus Christ to forgive him for living his own way and he started living Jesus’ way.

So why not make that same choice yourself right now?

Why not ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way? Then ask Him to take full charge of your life every day, for the rest of your life.

No matter how old you are or how many times you’ve failed, with Jesus in charge of your character and life, it’s never too late to change!

represents in the commission of crimes in order to conceal identities of real criminals. Identity thief is also use to withdraw funds using hacked credit and debit cards through the net. Stealing of identity is through illegal collection of email addresses, nationalities, and exact addresses of unwary victims. Who says the internet is safe but the criminals and unwitting victims?

If one thinks that Facebook, Twitter, My Scape, and other social networking sites are safe, then, these sites are usual sources of identity thief. Thus, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is not only timely but is the demand of the time. As Escudero said there is nothing wrong with the law ‘though some provisions especially libel provision have to be reviewed.

Libel and oral defamation should cover the cyber world, notably, the social networking sites. The premise is that some employed the networking sites to attack and libel private and public individuals. What would be the best remedy to protect the rights of aggrieved individuals but imposed sanctions through cyber laws?

Libel in cyber laws should be specific. In other words, the complainant must secure and thread of printed conversations or chats as documentary documents in filing the case in court. A chat thread might involve one or a hundred conversations but only those deemed libelous and defamatory comments should be admissible in court. We believed in freedom of the press and speech.

However, we believed that an individual has the right to seek legal protection against those who abused the freedom of the press. React: crisguadian@yahoo.com

“Filipinos who would like to see a Filipino pope of the Roman Catholic Church someday could very well start praying hard and as-

It would also confirm my belief that Filipinos, in reality, form part of the 12 tribes of Israel, God’s chosen people...”

Better rooms for Catmon pupils Cleofe Rollan, a Grade 2 teacher, cannot help but recall how her classroom in Panalipan Elementary School in Catmon, Cebu looked like before––dilapidated walls and capiz windows and termite-infested interiors. After all, she studied in the same school and spent her first grade in the same room, where she currently conducts her classes.

Now, she can put all her worries about poor classroom conditions to rest, as her classroom is part of the two-classroom building refurbished through the School Rehabilitation Program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI).

The 1940 Gonzalestype school building was formally turned over in a simple ceremony last October 11.

The SRP is one of the programs under RAFI’s Education focus area, which aims to improve the quality of education by providing learners and teachers with safe and conducive learning environment.

The project adopts a collaborative strategy among RAFI; the Department of Education (DepEd); the LGU of Catmon; Parents,

Teachers, Community Associations (PTCAs); and other stakeholders.

Adapting the counterparting scheme, RAFI provides for the materials for the repair and rehabilitation of the building, amounting to P729,229, while the local government shouldered P206, 891.88 as counterpart for the labor cost.

Teachers and parents also served as property custodians of the construction materials and of the school

building itself, ensuring that sense of ownership and responsibility is instilled in the stakeholders.

In her message, Sandra Laurela, school head of Panalipan Elementary School, said that the building has been vacant for more than five years due to structural defects that render it dangerous for the 104 preschool and grade 2 pupil occupants.

With the completion of the rehabilitation project,

Suzuki Philippines opens branch in Zamboanga City

By AL JACINTO of Mindanao Daily News ZAMBOANGA City––Senior executives of Suzuki Philippines on Thursday opened a new branch in Zamboanga City in Mindanao.

Suzuki Philippines President, Satoshi Uchida, and Suzuki Philippines Automobile General Manager Shuzo Hoshikura, led the opening of their branch together with Peter Po, the local Suzuki dealer who is also the executive of Grand Canyon Multi-Holdings Incorporated.

The new branch along Nunez Extension is expected to bolster Suzuki’s presence in Mindanao. It will also provide spare parts and auto services for Suzuki’s clients

not only in Zamboanga City, but to Mindanao as well.

“The opening of Suzuki Auto Zamboanga marks the increasingly diversified mobility needs of Zamboanguenos. The new dealership will create excitement because it showcases Suzuki’s different automobile products.

We are looking forward to our partnership with Suzuki,” Po said.

He said Suzuki currently carries eight automobile products, including the fuel efficient compact cars Alto K10 and Celerio; and the 5-door hatchback Swift, the sporty Sx4 Crossover, and the suzuki | page 11

pupils now enjoy wellventilated, good-as-new classrooms, each with its own restroom and lavatory.

Preschool teacher Sheila Rojo shared that her pupils now actually look forward to going to class because of the classroom’s new look, especially with its pink color.

The completed school building now brings the coverage of the RAFI School Rehabilitation Program to a total of 479 classrooms

in 143 schools in 34 towns in Cebu since its inception in 2004.

Commending the stakeholders for a job well done, RAFI Deputy Director for Operations Amaya Aboitiz reminded them that “there are other key ingredients needed” to realize the shared goal of providing quality education for the children.

Aboitiz assured them that RAFI will “continue to work with DepEd to sup-

port its vision of providing quality basic education that is equitably accessible to all, and laying the foundation for a life-long learning and service for the common good.”

Boosting public goods and services provision can curb corruption THE Philippines should efficiently provide public goods and services and create a business-friendly environment in an effort to stamp out corruption.

Dr. Ronald Mendoza, executive director of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Policy Center and associate professor of economics, made this recommendation based on results of the 2009 AIM Enterprise Survey Data indicating that more corruption was reported by firms if they were located in cities with very poor business environments.

The survey, which was implemented in the second quarter of 2009, covered about 1,740 firms in 29 cities in the country.

“Results suggest that corruption affects Philippine SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in a very pernicious way,” he said in a forum recently organized by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies.

Mendoza said there is an observation that there are possibly higher opportunities for corruption bribe-seeking when public goods and services are inadequate and inefficient.

Cagayan de Oro Archbishop Antonio Ledesma blesses the Golden Haven memorial at a cemetery in Bulua. Senator Manny He said the survey found that bribery was reported Villar, his wife Congresswoman Cynthia Villar, Misamis Oriental 2nd District Rep.

With this, Mendoza said lowering the number of steps to set up a business could thus reduce the opportunity for ‘gatekeepers’ to extort bribes.

“Policymakers need to address these challenges if they are to unleash the full potentials of SMEs,” he said. --Danielle Venz, PHILEXPORT News and Features Love your Sun-powered BlackBerry® to the fullest?

During the inauguration, Suzuki also launched its flagship executive sedan in Zamboanga called the “Kizashi,” a state-of-the-art, 2.4 litre engine with its 6-speed continuously variable transmission.

The 4-door sedan boasts of a push button start and stop engine, whose brush-stroke style emblem gives a sense of dynamism and Japanese tradition. The Kizashi’s distinctive stainless steel exhaust covers were inspired by Suzuki’s sports motorcycle. (Mindanao Examiner)

Mining...

from page 1 and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group were also in the area supervising the operations.

Policemen also seized illegal chemicals, including mercury, nitric acid and cyanide, used by local miners in the processing of gold.

“We are happy that authorities finally enforced the government order to put a stop to all illegal mining activities in Balabag,” Lullie Micabalo, a spokesperson for TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc., told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.

The Zamboanga del Sur provincial government and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources have previously ordered a stop to all hazardous and illegal mining operations in Balabag, especially those involving the Monte de Oro Small Scale Miners Association, but the unabated illegal mining activities still continue.

The Monte de Oro Small Scale Miners Association insisted its operation is legal and even applied for a permit so its members can continue their activities, but the Provincial Mineral Regulatory Board also issued a resolution denying the group’s application to mine.

Illegal miners have been operating in Balabag for more than a decade now and were largely blamed for the destruction of the mountain and environmental pollution in the town.

In July, a private security guard shot Godofredo Jungoy, Jr. dead an illegal miner Wilbert Catampungan who was trying to smuggle chemicals and fuel inside an area where

the TVI operates.

The company said the security guard was only defending himself after he had been attacked and mauled by a gang of mine workers. The illegal miners, who are members of the Monte de Oro Small Scale Miners Association, were sneaking under cover of darkness bags of cyanide, activated carbon, and diesel fuel to use in their outlawed gold processing plants in Balabag.

Jungoy, accompanied by his lawyer, told police that he was trying to stop a group of illegal miners, who were smuggling illegal chemicals within the area of TVI in Balabag where the company has a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement with the government.

MPSA is an agreement between a TVIRD and the Philippine government wherein the firm is granted exclusive right to conduct mining operations within Balabag. (Mindanao Examiner)

Crisis... from page 1

health, social and economic impacts.

“Our seas are already under threat from massive overfishing and decades of unsustainable fishing practices that have resulted in today’s dwindling fish catch. With ocean acidification and rising sea temperatures, fish won’t be able to spawn and propagate. That now leaves 30 million Filipinos with even less fish to eat,” he stressed.

The presence of illegal commercial fishing in Philippine seas is also a big problem, he added.

In Sorsogon, for example, fisherfolk around Burias-Ticao Pass cannot compete with large commercial fishing vessels that encroach on municipal waters. In Donsol, fishermen can barely meet six kilos per day, the average haul that will give them a good day’s wage.

“We know that illegal and unregulated fishing is rampant in our waters, and yet no one seems to be doing anything about it. This is the reason why last year some bishops went to President Aquino to request that his office ban commercial vessels from the waters around Burias, Ticao, and Ragay Gulf,” said Monsignor Angel Dy of the Sorsogon Social Action Foundation, Inc. With climate change affecting the world’s oceans, more extreme and unpredictable weather has shortened the fishing season for small-scale fisherfolk who are entirely dependent on the sea for their livelihood.

Sadly, the government has

Philippine fisheries has an annual estimated production of 6,000,000 metric tons of fish, but there has been a steady decline due to overfishing attributed to illegal commercial fishing vessels.

Greenpeace has long called on the government’s attention to help avert a fish crisis.

Earlier this year, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) revealed that ten out of 13 fishing grounds in the country are heavily exploited due to illegal and unregulated fishing activities.

Greenpeace is working to support fishing communities in the Philippines, particularly in places like Ticao Pass and Donsol which are home to vulnerable species such as whalesharks and manta rays.

“We are in deep trouble.

The government must acknowledge that our seas are in crisis,” Cinches said as he urged the BFAR to come up with a fisheries rescue roadmap.

“What the country needs is the establishment of more marine reserves and the reduction of our fishing capacity to sustainable levels, alongside long term solutions to climate change.”

Greenpeace will soon launch its Ocean Defender initiative, bringing together a network of volunteers who are committed to raising awareness about oceans issues such as marine pollution and overfishing. (Bong D. Fabe)

Cardinal...

from page 6 becoming a second Filipino saint in the mold of the first Filipino saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila, the way is certainly being prepared for a Filipino Pope in the coming days. And I believe that this is not a matter of accident, but of divine will.

News accounts indicate that Tagle holds a special place in the heart and mind of Pope Benedict XVI, because they worked together at the International Theological Commission of the Roman Catholic Church while it was chaired

by Benedict XVI when he was yet Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.

This association with the Pope saw Tagle being given sensitive positions in the Catholic Church---as a theologian of at least two ordinary synods at the Vatican, and apostolic visitator of seminaries in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.

These positions somehow are meant to clear the way for Tagle to the top position in

the Church.

-oooFILIPINOS AS PART OF ISRAEL: What is God telling us in all these? Let me repeat another column here which I wrote on October 21, 2012, for the canonization of San Pedro Calungsod: “And this is as it should be. My reading of the Bible tells me that, somehow, there is a part of the Filipino nation that directly descended from the Israelites of the Bible, which explains why many Filipinos are so good at having started their own religious groups and nurtured them to greatness even beyond the country’s territorial boundaries.

“In the Book of Genesis, there is a chapter which talks about God promising that the children of Jacob, one of the two sons of Isaac who would later become Israel, would go to all four corners of the globe, and would bless all races and nations.

“Then, in the Book of Kings and of the Chronicles, there are verses which disclose that when Solomon was building the temple of God, he ordered Israelites to travel to a group of islands in the east, which islands were known as Ophir, to get first class gold for the temple. As of now, there are accounts which say that the islands of Ophir are actually the islands of the Philippines…”

if we keep our heads in the clouds and fail to recognize the one lead to a solution that has stood through the ages—one that is risk-free and calls for no special budget allocation: common sense. Common sense shows us the link between cybercrime and the ancient laws given to protect humanity itself, like the Ten Commandments, for example. Corny? Not if you take your God seriously.

Look, people have already stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from unsuspecting bank clients through the internet. Intellectual property is stolen, too, (as in plagiarism), as well as sensitive military information by nation-states.

Remember the 7th Commandment— Thou shalt not steal— and the 10th, Thou shall not covet they neighbor’s goods.

And what of gossip-mongering, forwarding uncharitable tweets (like when celebrities stage verbal battles in social media), fabricating and spreading black propaganda against political enemies? Think Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor—8th Commandment. These could even escalate to a crime against the 5th Commandment—Thou shall not kill—if the libel (or the bullying) is bad enough it leads to the fatal heart attack or suicide of the victim.

Character assassination is cyberspace murder.

Wh at C om m and me nt do pornographers and porn consumers violate? The

6th—You shall not commit adultery—and the 9th—Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife. Even merely viewing porn while abusing yourself can already make you in a sense an adulterer. (Even if porn performer or consumer weren’t married, they still be committing fornication, s omething which in due time will likely mature to adultery).

S o t here—C ommandments 5-10 violated. And all because our consciences have become so numb we take for granted the first four.

The self and created goods have become gods. God’s name has been reduced to a meaningless interjection.

The Lord’s Day simply means more hours spent on the internet. And the wisdom of our forefathers (and mothers) is dishonored by our sheer disobedience.

Why was RA 10175 promulgated in the first place?

The government is fighting the enemy by shooting at its weapons. Nothing beats a disciplined populace to make laws effective, even unnecessary, with every citizen policing himself. All cybercrimes are self-abuse at the bottom line. Hammer into the consciousness of our kindergarteners that God is present within them, and in due time we will have adults who will not abuse themselves nor cause others to do the same. And that’s the truth.

Cybercrime...

from page 6 It can’t even protect its own websites from hackers!

Cyberspace is a free market of ideas. An attack of any kind is like a tsunami—it can swallow a whole barangay and before you can capture the culprit, it’s back to the sea. And how, pray tell, can you prove the presence of malice in an offender, if you can identify the offender at all? And if offenders are captured and found guilty, where will you jail them, even if only 0.1 percent of the 30 million internet users in the Philippines were convicted?

The only merit I see in the cybercrime law is that it creates greater public awareness to the evil present in the technology information revolution, thanks to the noise coming from netizens who raise hell over their freedom of expression/speech.

RA 10175 is but the beginning of a hoped-for solution, a solution that may never come
