State auditors said Deles’ decision to pay the lease for vehicles was highly questionable given the deal’s lack of “regularity and probity.” The COA questioned why Deles’ office went ahead with the vehicle rental without getting permission from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

Misinformation, black propaganda spread in Sulu SULU – Sulu Vice Governor Sakur Tan has reminded the public to be extra careful in dealing with text messages they are getting from unknown sources after civilians and even local media received messages of an impending attacks by armed group in the province. Tan urged those who received text messages to
ARMM
file a report with the police so that authorities could take appropriate actions to stop the proliferation of cell phone messages that tend to scare or sow fear among civilians. One text message received by a civilian from an unknown person said gunmen would attack Pata Island for reason still unclear, although there was
a report of a brief shooting in the area. Another text message urged civilians to evacuate or get out of their village. Tan said there have been a spike of black propaganda through text messages since politicians filed their certificate of candidacy for this year’s polls. Continue to page 2

OPAPP UNDER PROBE!
Presidential peace adviser Teresita Deles being questioned over funds use Continued fr om page 1 from The report said COA asked OPAPP why it spent P45.3 million for vehicle rental which was more than what it spent for the rent of office space and equipment. The COA questioned the need to rent 294 vehicles when Deles and 34 other officers from her office and the government peace panel headed by UP Professor Miriam Ferrer had 23 vehicles at their disposal with at least 4 officials being issued more than one service vehicle; and were given regular transportation allowances. The COA discovered that Deles’ office had a total 56 vehicles in its motor pool. The COA said that Deles entered into vehicle lease agreements with an employee in her office, who did not have prior experience in the rental business, without bidding to “the disadvantage of the government and in violation of Presidential Decree 1445 or the Government Auditing Code of the Philippines and Department of Trade rules and regulations.” The report said COA also questioned why OPAPP did not return the P662 million DAP funds more than year after the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. The COA said that Deles’ office could have understated the unreturned DAP funds because these were wrongly treated as liquidations by her office. Deles’ office received a total of P2.067 billion in DAP funds of which P1.467 billion were used and transferred to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Office of the Regional Governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and provincial government of Northern Samar and the Department of Interior and Local Government. The COA said that only P800 millions of this amount was liquidated with the remaining P667 millions still unaccounted for. There was no immediate statement from Deles over the COA report. Sajahatr a pr ogr am ajahatra progr ogram Just early this year, the local government of Zamboanga had strongly criticized the secretive programs implemented by Deles for Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels and their supporters there. Mayor Beng Climaco said Deles, without informing the local government, has since 2013 implemented the so-called “Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program for MILF communities,” raising fears that rebels and their supporters have encroached Zamboanga. Climaco said there are no MILF communities in Zamboanga and that local residents and village leaders are opposed to the inclusion
commitment. The government continues to insist on the surrender of the members of the revolutionary movement as if this will end the armed conflict,” Palabay said. PAMANA pr ojects projects She said even in the guise of livelihood projects through the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan or PAMANA, OPAPP could not boast of judicious use of billions of people’s money especially because it is allegedly being used to finance paramilitary groups like the Cordillera People’s Liberation Army or the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade. She said both groups are involved in several cases of human rights violations in the Cordillera region and Negros provinces. The CPLA received P264 million supposedly for projects coursed through PAMANA while the RPA-ABB got P31 million. “The peace process should serve the interests of the majority of our people and just a few groups that sow terror. Through DAP the money stolen from the people are used against them. With OPAPP, it becomes worse as paying lip service to the peace process only denies the people of a venue where their basic social and economic problems can be discussed
and solved,” Palabay said. Senator Nancy Binay also questioned – in a recent Senate Finance Committee hearing – why the Moro National Liberation Front, through the OPAPP, was given P1.8 billion in DAP funds. She said Abad failed to clarify issues related to DAP and OPAPP. Peace pr ojects projects OPAPP Undersecretary Jose Lorena said their DAP funding allocation in 2011, which amounted to P1.8 billion as reflected in the DBM report, was used for different peace and development initiatives in conflict-affected and vulnerable communities across the country, and in support of several existing peace tables and not in support of the MNLF peace process alone. Of this amount, nearly P 704 million was used to fund 219 projects – such as community infrastructures, post-harvest facilities, local roads, and water systems, among others – in MNLF peace and development communities in 14 provinces and four cities, which were implemented by national agencies and local governments under the PAMANA program, he said. No tr ail trail The OPAPP website has no entries on where its funds went or how its budget was spent, but President Aquino approved the DAP in 2011
on the recommendation of the Development Budget Coordination Committee and the Cabinet Clusters as a “stimulus package” by the government for the projects. From 2011 to 2012, DAP funding reached P142.23 billion – P83.53 billion in 2011 and P58.70 billion in 2012 – and most of the funds went to healthcare, public works, housing and resettlement, agriculture, tourism, road infrastructure, school infrastructure, rehabilitation and extension of light rail transit systems, and electrification project in the villages. In 2013, some P15.13 billion in DAP funds were also released by Abad and these went to the police and redevelopment of the Roxas Boulevard in Manila and other rehabilitation projects in areas affected by typhoons. Aquino said the DAP funds came from the savings of various government agencies and is legal, citing Article VI Section 25 (5) ng 1987 Constitution. “…the President, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the heads of Co n s t i t u t i o n a l Commissions may, by law, be authorized to augment any item in the general appropriations law for their respective offices from savings in other items of their respective appropriations.” And Book VI Chapter 5 Section 39 of the 1987 Administrative Code: “Except as otherwise provided in the General Appropriations Act, any savings in the regular appropriations authorized in the General Appropriations Act for programs and projects of any department, office or agency, may, with the approval of the President, be used to cover a deficit in any other item of the regular appropriations….” “If there is a singular legacy that I am leaving and sana, masanay ang kababayan natin na ito ang kaya ng gobyernong pinapatakbo nang matino,” Aquino said.

Continued fr om page 1 from The propaganda, he said, included personal attacks, slander, defamation and libelous messages sent out by political opponents and detractors, others by people paid by unscrupulous politicians to besmirch the good reputation of others, and destroy peace and development efforts of the
government in Sulu. He said police forces were deployed in key areas in Sulu to protect the civilians from threats of lawless elements. Tan said even civilians are helping authorities by providing information about lawless groups. Tan said he would ask the National Bureau of Investigation and the
Criminal Investigation and Detection Group to investigate and file criminal charges against those behind the spread of misinformation and black propaganda in Sulu because not only it creates fear and terror among civilians, it also violates the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. (Mindanao Examiner)
Various civil groups question OPAPP’s alleged misuse of funds of the city in the proposed Bangsamoro autonomous government. She said village officials learned of the Sajahatra program through residents themselves. She said village officials had been tasked to strictly monitor their areas of responsibility for possible uncoordinated activities such as those implemented purportedly for communities that are not recognized by the local government. Resign Civil groups and politicians have previously demanded the resignation of Deles over the killings of 44 police commandos by MILF rebels and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters on January 25 in M a g u i n d a n a o’s Mamasapano town where members of the Special Action Force fatally shot Malaysian bomber Zulkifli bin Hir deep inside MILF territory during a secret anti-terror operation. Some groups in Zamboanga wanted Deles be declared “persona non grata” for the secretive Sajahatra program there. Climaco ordered village leaders to stay vigilant and report any and all activities similar to Sajahatra being implemented in Zamboanga. She said the city is not part of the Muslim autonomous region nor shall Zamboanga be included in the proposed Bangsamoro region. The government said Sajahatra is a program aims to uplift and develop the health, education and livelihood conditions of Muslim communities, especially in the MILF areas in southern Philippines. Accusations A Filipino human rights group called Karapatan also questioned the allocated funds for OPAPP after it uncovered a huge amount of money channeled from the controversial
Disbursement Allocation Program of President Benigno Aquino. Karapatan said the OPAPP received as much as 400% more from its approved budget included in the General Appropriations Act or GAA for 2011 and 2012. It said a total of P2.294 to 2.542 billion went to OPAPP for 2011 and 2012. The amount covered the combined GAA 2011 and 2012 approved budget of P475 million, and the P1.819 billion and P248 million given through DAP in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Wher e’s the money? Where Cristina Palabay, Karapatan’s Secretary General, said while OPAPP acknowledged the P248 million it received from DAP in 2012, but she noted the amount was not included in the Malacañang’s release of DAP-funded projects. “Is the OPAPP deliberately evading public scrutiny by not including their proposed projects for proper allocation in the GAA? Did they find DAP as a way to evade scrutiny for the large amount of money that goes to OPAPP?” she asked. “Whatever magics the OPAPP and DBM do, such huge amount of people’s money supposedly spent for the peace initiatives of the government did not translate in concrete gains for the people. At best, only allies of the administration benefited from the DAP funds,” she added. “The government’s peace initiatives have become a business venture rather than a sincere effort to go into the root causes of the armed conflict and solve poverty, landlessness and joblessness. Presidential pork (barrel) oils OPAPP to put up every obstacle it can think of in the peace the process, especially with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, as it continues to ignore all previously signed agreements and

With big projects in the pipeline, ARMM expects more investments, jobs in 2016 COTABATO CITY – The Regional Board of Investments in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (RBOIARMM) is expecting to draw more investments this year. Atty. Ishak Mastura, RBOI-ARMM chairperson, said the agency is targeting to generate at least P900 million worth of investments and 900 new jobs in 2016, conservative figures considering what the regional government has achieved last year. RBOI-ARMM posted P6.5 billion worth of new projects in 2015, way over its original investments target of only P700 million announced early last year. Within this month, RBOI is expecting to approve a P1.3 billion oil palm plantation in Maguindanao, thus the year’s targets could be topped within the first quarter. There are also new ventures in the pipeline including a P45 million industrial waste treatment facility in Polloc, Maguindanao and an P80 million water facility. The region’s economic potentials – rich in raw materials and an emerging market for goods and
services – have been generally overlooked by the business sector in previous decades but this has changed significantly in recent years. Investors, Atty. Mastura said, continue to put money in the region because of their trust in the good governance initiatives of the present ARMM administration. Moreover, he added the ongoing peace process augments investors’ confidence in the region. Atty. Mastura said “2015 was the best year so far because the region has posted the highest value of investments in the 26-year history of ARMM.” Last year, RBOI recorded an increase of 70% in the total value of investments registered compared with P3.867 billion in 2014. Likewise, 4,894 jobs were created, 43% higher compared with 3,433 new jobs registered in 2014. R B O I - A R M M approved eight major investment projects in 2015 led by Al-Sahar Agri Ventures Inc., a Cavendish banana plantation in Maguindanao with a P3.7 billion project. It was the largest single investment in the history of the ARMM.
-
Chan C. Mining Inc. also invested P742 million for a nickel ore project in Tawi-Tawi, Lamsan Power Corp., meanwhile, had a 5.5-megawatt power plant expansion project worth P687 million in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. Other investors in the region are: – Tawi-Tawian Petroleum Trading Corp. in Panglima Sugala. TawiTawi; DS3 Fuel Tanking and Services Inc., a petroleum project operating at Polloc Free Port, Parang, M a g u i n d a n a o ; Maguindanao Enegry Farms Inc. based in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao for a 474 hectare-napier grass plantation; Matling Industrial and Commercial Corp.,, a cassava starch milling plant in Malabang, Lanao del Sur; and Southsea Industrial Energy Corp, an oil refinery project in Simunul, Tawi-Tawi. Sixty-five percent, or P4.3 billion, of the combined value of the new projects approved by RBOIARMM in 2015 are agribased while 24%, or P1.5 billion, are energy related. The rest, or P742 million, is on mining and quarrying. (Bureau of Public Information)

DSWD-ARMM Pantawid program resumes distribution of cash grants COTABATO CITY – The Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DSWDARMM) resumes the payout of cash grants to beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Maguindanao after months of delay. Rahima Datumanong Alba, DSWD-ARMM office-in charge, explained “The delay of the payment of grants for unpaid periods started when conduit Globe Exchange Inc. (GXI) failed to replenish the fund from the previous payouts to its merchant partner Loaded Marketing.” She also explained that before the suspension of the payout in October 2015, the DSWD, through conduits GXI and Loaded Marketing, was paying Period 5 (SeptemberOctober) and Period 6 (November-December) of 2014 as well as unpaid grants starting Period 6 of 2012. The release of payout
for Period 6 covering the months NovemberDecember in 2012 and for the same period in 2014 to 22 towns of Maguindanao will start on Thursday, January 7. Towns in Maguindanao’s first district where qualified beneficiaries would soon receive cash grants are Barira, Matanog, Parang, Datu Blah Sinsuat, Upi, Sultan Mastura, Sultan Kudarat, North Kabuntalan, South Upi, Mother Kabuntalan, and Datu Odin Sinsuat (Dinaig). Those in the second district are as follows: Datu Hoffer, Shariff Saydona, Datu Unsay, Datu Saudi, Datu Piang, Datu Anggal Midtimbang, Guindulungan, Talayan, Talitay, Pagalungan, and Pagagawan. Based on DSWDARMM data, GXI has previously released a total of P373,852,600 cash grants to 120,286 beneficiaries in Maguindanao. The Land Bank of the Philippines serves as the sole authorized disbursement
agent of the DSWD for the nationwide distribution of cash grants. It also authorized money transfer agents to deliver the grants. The choice of conduits went through a bidding process undertaken by the Landbank Head Office Bids and Awards Committee. Sec. Alba reiterated that the agency continuously monitors the distribution of cash grants to the beneficiaries across the region. 4Ps is the national government’s flagship poverty alleviation initiative, providing grants to the poorest households in order to improve health, nutrition and education of children. The cash grants comprise P500 per month per household for health and nutrition expenses and P300 per child each month for educational expenses. Households with three qualified children would receive P1,400 monthly. (Bureau of Public Information)

Church Formally Opens Diocesan Process for Cause for Martyrdom of Fr. Francesco Palliola DIPOLOG CIT Y – The Catholic Church on Wednesday officially launched the diocesan process for the cause of martyrdom of Fr. Francesco Palliola, the first step towards beatification and canonization to sainthood. In ceremonies highlighted by Mass at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral in Dipolog City, Bishop Severo Caermare announced the opening of the Cause of Fr. Palliola, an Italian Jesuit missionar y who dedicated his work and his life to the people of Mindanao. If declared a saint, Fr. Palliola will be third from the Philippines – after St. Lorenzo Ruiz of Manila and St. Pedro Calungsod of Cebu – and the first to come from Mindanao. Born into nobility, in the town of Nola in Naples, Italy on May 10, 1612, Fr. Palliola joined some 40 Jesuits on an expedition to the Philippines. After a trip of over two years, he finally landed in Iligan City on
Januar y 2, 1644, beginning a mission in Mindanao that would take take him to Dipolog, Dapitan and the rest of the Zamboanga Peninsula, spreading the Catholic faith to the locals, including the natives. Fr. Palliola was martyred at Ponot, now Jose S. Dalman town, on Januar y 29, 1648 by Tampilo, a converted native leader who had left Catholicism, and who the priest was trying to bring back to the faith. He died at the age of 37. A painting of Fr. Palliola, showing a dagger piercing his throat, remains at the archives of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Together with traditions passed on since his death, and written records of individuals who have been healed after praying to him, the painting is a reminder of Fr. Palliola’s lasting impact on the people of the Peninsula. His gravesite, marked by a modest memorial, continues to be regularly visited by
those who seek his intercession. Work on Fr. Palliola’s sainthood has been a collaborative effort involving not just the Diocese of Dipolog, but also the Jesuits and the Augustinian Recollects, who had worked in the area. On the eve of the opening of Fr. Palliola’s cause, Bishop Beniamino Depalma of the Diocese of Nola also sent a message to his counterpart in Dipolog, expressing their joy and support. According to Bishop Caermare, they are hopeful of Fr. Palliola’s cause. “Padre Palliola may have been Neapolitan, an Italian by birth; but his love for God, his great passion for mission and caring for the people of the Zamboanga Peninsula, particularly the Subanon lumad, made him truly Mindanaoan” he said. He added that though Fr. Palliola lived close to 400 years ago, he continues to care for his adopted homeland to this day, interceding for
people in need – including fisherfolk who carry on the tradition of stopping by his grave to pray for a good catch.
‘Pagbaugbug Ha Kamaruan Iban Martabbat’
With the opening of the cause for his martyrdom, an investigative process is now set in motion, to
ascer tain the authenticity of his life, the renown of his sanctity, and the miracles attributed to him.

TECH TIPS: How to recover lost data on Android (rooted or not) WE’VE all done it: accidentally deleted photos, videos or files by accident. Don't panic, though. There are ways to recover your data whether you're rooted or not. Time is always of the essence though: do not save anything else to your device or switch it off, and turn off your Wi-Fi and 3G/4G connection so that no automatic updates occur before you've had a chance to recover your lost data on Android. G et back lost data on Andr oid (if yyou ou ar e NO T Android are NOT ROO TED) OOTED) If you don't know what this means, you are most likely not rooted Once you've checked the obvious – such as looking in the Trash of your photos app, which stores files you've deleted from your gallery until it's emptied – the next step is to connect your phone to a PC and run a file recovery app. However, there's one little problem with that: post-Ice Cream Sandwich versions of Android ditched the Mass Storage Protocol that made your internal storage look like a flash drive, so many tried and tested recovery methods won't work any more. Don't worry, though, because we have a solution to that too. If the file(s) you're looking for were on your memory card, you can use a Micro SD Card Adapter to attach your microSD via USB. Then download Recuva (you can use either the paid or free version), which is a program to recover files. You can also use other

programs, such as Coolmuster or Wondershare Dr. Fone (which requires root but is also available for Mac or PC), but Recuva is a great free tool. N ote: Normally, for most of these programs to work, your memory must be formatted as FAT32, NTFS or similar. If your memory card format is not recognized, you can just copy of its contents to your computer, reformat the memory card as FAT32 and then dump the copied files back on it and continue the process. When you run Recuva, the first thing to do is select the type of file you want to recover: Pictures, Videos, Music, Documents, etc. The option to restore from a specific location is available and you can even set a specific folder to attempt recovery from. Note that Recuva will only display locations it can actually recover data from. Just follow the prompts in the program. Impor tant: When you mportant: finish recovering your deleted files, try to save them on a different device to the one from which they were originally lost: this can sometimes cause conflicts and hinder recovery. So if you are recovering files from your smartphone, record them on the hard disk of the PC and then transfer them over later, once they're safe and sound. If the file(s) were on your internal storage, don't worry: we can fix that too. If you haven't already enabled the developer options in
Android, go to Settings > About Phone > Build Number (or your phone's equivalent; for example, on a Galaxy S5 it's Settings > About device > Build Number) and then tap Build Number section seven times. Once you've done that, go into Settings > Developer Options and enable USB debugging. You should now be able to use an app such as Wondershare Dr Fone to scan your device. Reco ver lost data on ecov Andr oid (I ou hav e Android (Iff yyou have ROO T access to yyour our OOT phone) Download Undelete. The application is very simple. The first thing to do is to select the storage device from which you want to retrieve your data (can be internal or external memory). Then you scan the selected device. The process may take between two and 10 minutes, depending on your memory size and the amount of stored data. When finished you will be presented with retrievable data in several tabs: Files, Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents and Files. Recovered data returns to its place of or igin, ie wherever it was saved before they were lost. This option may only work partially (if there is a problem with your memory). In that case, proceed to the Recuva steps above, or use Wondershare or another root recovery program. (Kr is Carlon, AndroidPIT)

Gawin ito buwan-buwan bago at pagkatapos magka-regla. Humarap sa salamin at tingnan ang suso. May pagkakaiba ba ang kanan at kaliwang suso? Habang nakatayo, salatin ang suso mula sa utong (nipple). Gamitin ang dulo ng dalawang daliri at kapain ng paikutikot ang suso. Mag-umpisa sa nipple at hanggang sa papalabas. Pagkatapos ay humiga naman sa kama at ulitin ang pagkapa ng suso. Bago matapos, kapain din ang kili-kili para maghanap ng kulani (lymph nodes). Kung may bukol kayong nasasalat, magpatingin sa inyong surgeon o OBgynecologist. 2.

Ang pag-inom ng tubig ng pakonti-konti sa buong
Dr. Willie T. Ong araw ay makababawas ng asido sa sikmura. Magbaon din ng saging o tinapay para hindi sumakit ang tiyan. Umiwas sa pagkaing nakaka-ulcer tulad ng sili, orange, pineapple, calamansi, lemon, suka, mga sitsirya at gatas. Oo, nakakangasim ng sikmura ang gatas. Mas maigi pa ang yogurt. 3. Nerbiyos o hyperventilation syndrome – Mara¬ming babae ang inaatake ng nerbiyos. Sila’y nakararamdam ng hirap sa paghinga, pamamanhid ng kamay, paa at labi. Minsan ay nahihilo sila, at lumalakas ang pintig ng puso. Kung kayo ay nakararanas nito, huwag matakot dahil nerbiyos lang
iyan. Ang problema rito ay ang pagbaba ng carbon dioxide sa katawan dahil sa sobrang bilis ng paghinga. Ang solusyon diyan ay ang paggamit ng “brown bag technique.” Kumuha ng isang maliit na bag na gawa sa papel. (Huwag ang plastic bag.) Itakip sa bibig at ilong at dito huminga ng dahandahan. Gawin ito ng 15-30 minutes. Ang gusto natin mangyari ay malanghap mo ulit ang hangin (carbon dioxide) na iyong inilalabas. Sa ganitong paraan, mawawala ang iyong nararamdaman. 4. Masakit ang puson o menstrual cramps — Ang solusyon sa menstrual cramps ay pagpapahinga. Itulog mo ang sakit. Umiwas muna sa mga stress, trabaho at meetings. Maligo ng maligamgam na tubig para ma-relax ang iyong puson. Patungan ng medyo mainit na bote ang iyong puson. Sabi ng iba, ang sex daw ay nakatutulong din sa menstrual cramps. At kapag masakit talaga, uminom ng paracetamol tablets 2-3 times a day.

Bakuna batok sa dengue, mapalit na! MAPALIT na karon semanaha ang bakuna batok sa dengue, matud pa ni Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Janette Garin. Sa Pilipinas lamang gihimo ang tulo ka hugna nga clinical trial alang sa dengue vaccine, indikasyon nga maayo gayud ang mga Pinoy researcher, matud pa ni Garin. Giingong nigahin og P3 bilyon ang gobyerno sa 2016 national budget alang sa maong bakuna. Gipahayag ni Garin nga sa pagkakaron, taas ang presyo sa dengue vaccine tungod kay ang kumpanyang Sanofi Pasteur lamang ang
naghimo niini. Matud pa nga nahatagan lamang og diskwento ang Pilipinas sa dihang nagpulong ang Department of Finance ug mga executive sa Sanofi sa APEC Summit niadtong Nobyembre. Ug dugang 34 porsiyento usab ang gihatag human makahinabi ni President Benigno Aquino ang usa pa ka opisyal sa maong kumpanya sa France. Samtang gi-aprobahan na ni Aquino ang pagdumala sa DOH sa libreng bakuna sa dengue alang sa mga kabos nga estudyante sa mga pampublikong tunghaan nga nahimutang sa mga
lugar nga adunay taas nga kaso sa dengue. Matud pa ni Garin nga ihatag ang libreng bakuna sa dengue sa mga estudyanteng grade 4 taman grade 5 o sa mga batang may edad 9 taman 10 anyos o may kinatibukang 1,077,000 ka bata sa National Capital Region, Region 3 ug 4-A. Gitakda ang vaccination o pagbakuna sa mga buwan sa Marso ug Setyembre ning kasamtangang tuig. Apan gipasabot sa Kalihim nga kinahanglang ibaligya ang ubang bakuna sa mga pribadong pasyente aron mapondohan ang nahisgotang programa. (Elvira C. Bongosia)
San Francisco town ranks best LGU in Cebu CEBU - A small town in Camotes Island was ranked the best local government unit in Cebu during the Capitol-ran “Our Cebu Program”, an in-house search for the most outstanding LGU in the province. San Francisco bagged the award for six times in a row now and it has been a consistent top awardee since the search stated in 2009, according to a press release from Capitol. Governor Hilario P. Davide III and Vice Governor Agnes Magpale recently turned over the trophy and a P1-million cash prize to San Francisco officials during the awarding ceremony held recently at the Capitol Social Hall.

“Our Cebu Program continues to change paradigms of local governance. It has engaged local government units to work towards the vision of a wholesome, advanced, vibrant, equitable and sustainable Cebu,” said Davide. Vice Governor Magpale, who has served as Our Cebu’s program manager since it started, said the recognition is the Capitol’s way of inspiring the stakeholders to participate in the cause to improve the communities. San Francisco Vice Mayor Aaron Capao, Jr. credited their success to their Purok System that has been in place even before the Our Cebu Program. Capao said: “Through the Purok, an extension unit of
the barangay, San Francisco’s residents are boarding the same boat towards progress and development.” Tiotimo Nodalo, a retired teacher, who was tasked by then Mayor Alfredo Arquillano, Jr. to establish the Purok System, also said: “The Purok system allows the municipal government to explain its programs and policies down to the household level. It also encouraged them to participate in the attainment of its vision and mission.” Second place went to the municipality of Liloan which received P750,000 while Naga City landed third place with P500,000 as cash prize.

CEBU – The Aquino government has welcomed the results of the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey on self-rated poverty and selfrated food poverty which showed a decrease in the number of poor Filipino families, saying the government anti-poverty program is gaining ground. “We acknowledge the latest Social Weather Stations survey on selfrated poverty and selfrated food poverty showing a decrease in the number of Filipino families who considered themselves as poor and 'food-poor' at 50 percent and 33 percent, respectively. We note that the rating for self-rated hunger is the lowest since 2011 while the rating for self-rated food poverty is two percentage points lower than the 35 percent recorded in September last year," said Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. According to Coloma, the latest SWS survey validates the efficacy of the government’s purposive and targeted social protection and poverty alleviation
programs, anchored on the expanded Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), which has benefitted close to 4.4 million households nationwide. The government, he said, is committed to sustaining the momentum of its social protection and social welfare programs through the delivery of basic education, skills training and universal health care in the remaining months of the Aquino administration. “These government initiatives seek to bring about the inclusion of all marginalized citizens in the mainstream of social opportunity,” Coloma said P r e s i d e n t i a l Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda also said the latest SWS survey encourages the administration to further maximize the country’s resources toward greater inclusivity. The 2016 budget attests to this government commitment, he said, noting that the Department of Education was again given the largest share of the budget, as well as the Conditional Cash
Transfer (CCT) program. “In the coming months, our agencies will remain hard at work promoting countrywide development and implementing programs that will truly benefit the people. Clearly, the Philippines is already on the path to progress,” Lacierda said. The SWS released recently the results of its fourth quarter 2015 survey on self-rated poverty and self-rated food poverty, indicating that 50 percent of Filipino families consider themselves poor, bringing the yearly average to 50 percent. This is four points below the 2014 average of 54 percent and is also the lowest annual average for self-rated poverty since 2011. The survey, which was conducted from December 5 to 8 among 1,200 adult respondents nationwide, also revealed that 33 percent of families consider themselves food-poor— a two-point drop compared to the 35 percent last September as well as the lowest quarterly rate since March 2010.
4 people arrested for Globe subscription fraud CEBU CITY – Four employees of a car dealer in Cebu City were recently arrested by a joint police and Globe Telecom security team after they allegedly submitted fake documents in applying for post-paid accounts that included provision for high-end smartphones. Globe Telecom identified the suspects as Girly Belleza, Allen Marie Almario, Gerald Anthony Lizares and Wildredo Arabis. It said based on investigation, the four individuals all submitted fake documents - using fictitious names - in acquiring post-paid subscription with high end phones. This prompted a joint police and Globe security team to set an entrapment operation against them. A police report revealed that Belleza managed to get high-end units namely 2 units of iPhone 6+ and iPhone 5

while Almario managed to also get an iPhone 6, an iPhone 6+ and a Galaxy Core Prime. On the other hand, Lizares got 2 units of iPhone 6+ while Arabis got a Lenovo hand phone and 2 units of iPhone 6. The four had been detained by police authorities and appropriate criminal charges will be filed against them, Globe Telecom said, adding, it will continue to work closely with police authorities in pursuing fraudsters. “The company is deeply committed in prosecuting illegal activities involving our products and services. The company’s campaign against fraudster complements an online advocacy of the telecommunications provider for its customers to step up their online vigilance so they can better protect themselves

from becoming victims of online hacks, identify theft and other cybercrimes,” Globe Telecom said in a statement sent to Cebu Examiner. “As the leading provider of digital services on mobile devices, Globe took the task of educating and protecting its customers from online security threats through its Protech101 campaign. The campaign tackles the issues of weak passwords, the dangers of the auto fill feature, online sharing of information and awareness on new software and other factors that make an account unstable and vulnerable to danger,” it added. There was no immediate statement from the four suspects on the accusation against them. (Cebu Examiner)
