DAVAO CITY – The military expressed apprehension over the suspension by the New People’s Army of attacks against military targets over the holy week and security officials branded the action as a “desperate attempt” by rebels to gain moral ground. The order to suspend rebel attacks coincided with celebration of the NPA’s 50th anniversary, but

Military apprehensive over NPA truce a military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Emmanuel Garcia said the unusual declaration by the NPA is another ploy to deceive security forces, the Duterte government, and especially the people “so that the government will be forced to declare SOMO in order for them to reconstitute forces, recruit new members, extort money, and rest from the unceasing focused military operation of the Armed

Forces of the Philippines (AFP).” “This is a desperate attempt of the NPA to gain the moral high-ground by seizing the opportunity to paint religiosity in their organization while the basic principle of Communism by which their fake revolution is anchored, does not believe in God and reject religion. The NPA anniversary which is usually marked by violent attacks against gov-
ernment forces and atrocities against the people incidentally falls within the holy week this year,” Garcia said. He said the NPA truce is suspicious. “Whatever the decision of the political leadership, the AFP will follow legally mandated orders. Rest assured that our troops will continue to monitor and conduct appropriate security measures to protect the people and vulnerable communities,” Garcia said.
The 6th Infantry Division also said that at least 81 NPA supporters from the Dulangan Manobo tribe surrendered to the military in Sultan Kudarat province. “The effort of the military to convince our brothers and sisters to turn their backs from the terrorist group is clear manifestation we should promote peace,” said Major General Arnel delaVega.“History has taught us that no issues can be resolved by any

form of armed struggle but rather win the peace than go to war.” Dela Vega said the tribesmen had supported the rebels for 2 years until their surrender following a combined focused military operation and government reintegration efforts. The rebels have been fighting for decades now in an effort to put up a separate state in the country. (Mindanao Examiner)

He said they could also be linked to 10 people arrested recently by the Bukit Aman anti-terrorism unit for planning to carry out attacks in the eastern state. He said Tawau district police chief Assistant Commander Fadil Marcus had also noted that the trio seemed to operate in a tactical manner before they were shot dead. A report March 1by the Malaysian newspaper, The Star, quoting regional intelligences sources, said Jamiri was armed with a high-powered rifle when gunned down by the police in a firefight. Jamiri, a native of Basilan, one of 5 provinces in the Muslim
autonomous region, was also implicated in dozens of ransom kidnappings, including Australian international adventurer Warren Rodwell in 2011 in Ipil town in Zamboanga Sibugay province. Many Abu Sayyaf militants had surrendered to the authorities in Basilan, Sulu and TawiTawi in the past 2 years and Hataman said more are expected to yield because of the regional government’s reintegration program for the Abu Sayyaf group. “Marami na ang mga sumuko at mas marami pa ang gustong lumabas at magbagong buhay dahil sa rehabilitation and reformation program natin basta cleared na sila sa government,” Hataman said. “Basta gawa lang tayo ng
magandang mga proyekto at nutasan lang natin ng magandang mga daan ang mga kabundukan ay sigurado ako na susuko rin ang lahat ng mga yan kasi randam na rin nila lahat ang pagbabago na ginawa natin.” Hataman initiated the Abu Sayyaf reintegration program dubbed “Program Against Violence and Extremism” or PAVE following the surrender of many militants in Basilan. PAVE is designed to provide opportunities to surrendered Abu Sayyaf members for their reintegration in society. The interventions include psychosocial sessions, medical checkups, introduction to farming systems, and expository tours outside the island provinces which
are all designed to usher the complete reformation of the former combatants into decent and productive members of society. The returnees will also be provided with farm implements as livelihood support and housing from the Bangsamoro Regional Inclusive Development with Growth and Equity Program. Hataman said a total of 173 militants have surrendered to the military and local governments in the provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. He said PAVE has been running in cooperation with local governments, the military and police, Nagdilaab Foundation, and Eisenhower Fellows Association of the Philippines. (Mindanao Examiner)

demilitarize armed groups in the regions.” “ No t w i t h s t a n d i n g this success, we will continue to employ a diplomatic approach in calling for the involvement of local officials and other partners for peace. I attribute this to the efforts exerted by our troops in conducting dialogues and tapping local officials in Western Mindanao,” said Army Lieutenant General Carlito Galvez, Jr., chief of the Western Mindanao Command.
Duterte also held a closed door meeting with Tan, who are all praises for the President. The Tans broke away from the Liberal Party during the presidential campaign in 2016 to support and campaigned for Duterte which earned the ire of then President Benigno Aquino and presidential candidate Mar Roxas. The Tans are now one of the most ardent supporters of Duterte in Mindanao. (Mindanao Examiner)

Government backs ARMM’s reintegration program for former Sayyaf militants ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) reintegration program for Abu Sayyaf group (ASG) members received a positive message of support from Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana. Lorenzana said the ARMM’s reintegration program will be supported by the national government. The statement came after the program delivered positive results from its initial interventions. He, along with Alexander Macario, Assistant zsecretary for Peace and Order of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), attended the ARMM’s Regional Peace and Order Council meeting recently at the Western Mindanao Command in Zamboanga City. The reintegration
program dubbed Program Against Violence and Extremism (PAVE), was initiated by ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman’s office. PAVE is designed to provide opportunities to members of the ASG who surrendered and returned to the fold of law for reintegration in society. The program is expected to result in more ASG members surrendering in the coming months. A total of 173 former Abu Sayyaf members from the provinces of Basilan, Sulu and TawiTawi have recently surrendered to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), or to their local government units (LGUs). John Louie Balagot, Cabinet Secretary of the ARMM Governor’s Office and current PAVE manager, said the ASG members must also give up their firearms upon
surrendering. Balagot said a series of interventions were piloted involving the 89 returnees from Basilan since July 2017. The interventions include psychosocial sessions, medical check-ups, introduction to farming systems, and expository tours outside the island provinces, which are designed to usher the complete reformation of the former combatants into decent and productive members of society. The returnees will also be provided with farm implements as livelihood support and housing from the ARMMBangsamoro Regional Inclusive Development with Growth and Equity Program. “After hearing Secretar y Lorenzana’s support, we will be able to expand and enhance our program to deliver more services to the returnees,” Balagot said.

Assistant Secretary Macario said the national government, through the DILG, is also making a reformation program dedicated to the ASG. “We commend the regional government for the initiatives it has taken to stabilize peace and order
in ARMM,” Macario said. In the coming months, the returnees from Sulu and Tawi-Tawi will undergo interventions similar to those in Basilan. In Sulu, there were 61 returnees, and 23 in Tawi-Tawi. PAVE has been running in coop-
eration with LGUs in Basilan, AFP Joint Task Force, Basilan provincial gover nment, Basilan Young Leaders Program, Nagdilaab Foundation, Inc., and Eisenhower Fellows Association of the Philippines. (Bureau of Public Information)

Hataman, together with the different ARMM officials, led the banging of the gong which sig-
nalled the opening of the 29th ARMM Anniversary celebration. Similar ceremonies were also held earlier in the five component provinces of the region, which were attended by thousands of employees and residents. The regional government will again put up five mock cultural villages representing the provinces of the ARMM inside the ARMM compound in Cotabato City, which will be opened to the general public inside. The cultural villages would feature the traditions, heritage, products, the people and the arts of communities in Basilan,

Kidnapped Muslim teacher released in Sulu
SULU – Kidnappers have released a school principal after her family paid ransom in exchange for her freedom in Sulu province in southern Philippines. Marjorie Abdul, who was seized last month inside the Liang Elementar y School in Patikul town, has been reunited with her family. It was unknown how much ransom her family had paid to the kidnappers, who are believed to be allied with the Abu Sayyaf. At least five gun-
men barged into the school and dragged Abdul to a waiting vehicle. No individual or group claimed responsibility for the latest abduction. The military’s Western Mindanao Command did not release any statement on Abdul’s release. Ju s t re c e n t l y, k i d n a p p e r s a l s o f re e d another Muslim teacher, Doris Hamsirani, who was recovered in Liang village, also in Patikul town.
The teacher was snatched on March 7 in Timbangan village in Indanan town, but details surrounding her abduction were unclear. It was unknown whether her family paid ransom or not, or whether the Abu Sayyaf or other group was behind her abduction. Police provided no other details. The Abu Sayyaf is still holding over a dozen hostages, mostly foreign sailors, in the troubled region. (Mindanao Examiner)

Thousands of NPA rebels yield in Mindanao
DAVAO CITY – Thousands of communist rebels and their supporters have surrendered to the military in the first quarter of this year in southern Philippines and more are expected to yield in the coming months to take advantage of the government’s amnesty offer, officials said. Army Lieutenant Colonel Emmanuel Garcia, chief of Armed Forces of the Philippines’ (AFP) Public Affairs Office, said more than 4,350 New People’s Army rebels and communist supporters have actually surrendered to the military and that majority of those who yielded were from the regions of Davao and CARAGA, which are all known NPA strongholds in Mindanao. “The massive surrenders of NPAs and their supporters were attributed to the combined focused military operations, intelligence efforts, civil-military operations, re-integration efforts, peace and development programs of the military and police; and the intense campaign of local governments in convincing their constituents who

are members and supporters of the NPA to go back to mainstream society,” Garcia said. “The AFP expects more surrenders as former rebels and supporters divulge corruption and deception inside the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the NPA. Revelations from former rebels during investigations disclosed that most of them were deceived into believing the propaganda and false promises of their leaders,” he added. Major Ezra Balagtey, a spokesman for the Eastern Mindanao Command in Davao City, said over 300 rebels, including 17 commanders, had surrendered to them during the first quarter as the government continues its campaign to lure insurgents to return to the fold of the law. Aside from those who yielded to the military, at least three dozen New People’s Army leaders and fighters have also been arrested in separate operations. He said some 240 assorted rebel weapons were also recovered by soldiers in the first three months of
the year. “We are expecting more to surrender in the region,” Balagtey said. Army Lieutenant General Benjamin Madrigal Jr, the regional military commander, has attributed the mass surrender of rebels to the extensive combat operations and intensified community support programs, and also the call of President Rodrigo Duterte for insurgents to return to the fold of the law and live peacefully with their family. “We attribute this to the extensive security operations being conducted by our units to protect the communities. Furthermore, being popular in all strata and sectors of the country, the call of the President for the NPA to surrender reverberates and continuously sinks into the minds of the rebels which greatly contributes to the snowball of surrender including some of their leaders,” he said. The NPA has been fighting for nearly 5 decades now in an effort to overthrow the democratic government and install a Maoist state in the country. (Mindanao Examiner)

kontra sa manngilngig nga hulga sa droga sa America nga nagapatay og di momenos 30,000 ka biktima kada tuig ug nagapaantos sa mga bagong natawo nga mga bata og mga upat ka tuig gikan sa pag-anak. Segurado ni kun ang ilang mga ginikanan adik sa mga synthetic nga opioid o kemikal nga droga nga ginapayuhot pinaagi sa lungaglungagon nga utlanan sa Estados Unidos ug Mexico. Nanawagan sab si Trump sa silot nga kamatayon sa mga tigpayuhot og droga. Matud pa niya, ang tigtulak og droga nagabiktima og daghan og nagabuno (murder) og gatusan ka tawo bisan og wa siya mogamit og pusil. Naalarma si Trump ug kun tugotan lang siya, idasdas niya ang giyera kontra sa mga sindikato sa droga nga way kukaluoy. Ang ikaduha mao ang pagbabag sa nangulo sa sanga sa human rights sa UN, si Zeid Ra’ad alHussein, aron dili siya makahatag og pakigpulong atubangan sa UN Security Council. Basig kuyapan ang mga sabaan ug alingugngog nga mga kritiko ni Presidente Duterte ug ang Commission on Human Rights kun makahibalo niini.

HEALTH: Matulog ng Mahimbing: Tips sa Pagtulog Payo ni Dr. Willie T. Ong MAHALAGA ANG tulog sa ating katawan. Ang mga kabataan ay natutulog ng 8 hanggang 10 oras bawat gabi. Ngunit pag-abot natin ng edad 50 pataas ay mababawasan na ang tulog sa 6-7 oras bawat gabi. Ang mga edad 70 pataas ay minsan 4-5 oras lang kung matulog sa gabi. Heto ang mga tips para sa mga hirap makatulog: 1. Matulog ng parehong oras bawat gabi. Humiga sa kama ng may takdang oras, tulad ng alas 9 ng gabi. 2. Huwag mag-siesta. Kapag natulog ka sa hapon, hindi ka na aantukin sa gabi. 3. Mag-ehersisyo sa umaga o hapon. Kapag pagod ang ating katawan, mas madali makatulog sa gabi. 4. Huwag uminom ng kape o iced tea sa hapon o gabi. Ang mga ito ay may caffeine na nagpapagising sa atin. 5. Makinig ng konting musika. Mag-relax. Puwede din magpamasahe at maligo ng maligamgam na tubig. 6. Huwag gamitin ang alak na pampatulog.
Dr. Willie T. Ong Ang problema sa alak ay mapapaaga din ang gising mo sa umaga. At saka may hang-over ka pa. 7. May mga vitamins at supplements na puwede niyong subukan. Uminom ng Vitamin B complex. Nakapagpapagana ito sa pagkain at may tulong din sa pagtulog. 8. Baka makatulong ang Melatonin Supplements. Ayon kay Dr. Rebecca Castillo, ang melatonin capsules ay nakatutulong sa pagtulog at nagpapalakas ng ating immune system. 9. Kapag hindi epektibo ang Vitamin B complex o Melatonin para sa iyo, puwede magpareseta ng Sleeping Pills. Ngunit dapat ay paminsan-minsan lang
ang pag-inom ng Sleeping Pills dahil nakakasanay ito. 10. Kapag hindi talaga makatulog, humiga na lang sa kama. Kahit gising ka ay okay lang dahil nakakapahinga naman ang iyong katawan. Kapag humiga ka ng 2 oras, para ka na rin nakatulog ng 1 oras. 11. Ayon kay Pastor Norman Vincent Peale, kapag hindi siya makatulog ay pinagdarasal niya ang lahat ng kaniyang k a i b i g a n . Nagpapasalamat din siya sa mga biyayang natanggap sa buhay. Puwede natin siya tularan. 12. At siyempre, huwag kalimutan magdasal sa Diyos. Ipasa niyo ang lahat ng problema sa Kanya. Ang Diyos na ang bahala dito. Sa ganitong paraan, magiging mahimbing ang iyong pagtulog. Good luck po! Note: The advice in this forum is only for general knowledge. For your medical questions, kindly consult your personal physician. Thank you.

TECH TIPS: How to unlock a smartphone when you forgot its pattern WE’RE ONLY human, not elephants, and sometimes we forget things. Whether it be leaving your front door open, where you’ve left your car keys, or just simply what your pattern lock or PIN was on your Android device, it happens. Unfortunately, for the latter, it might mean that you’re locked out of your tablet or smartphone without being able to get access to anything through no fault of your own. Fortunately, there are several methods to bypass the lock screen and get back in. Our best suggestion: Andr oid D evice M anager Android Device Manager (for Andr oid 2.3 and up) Android This is the simplest and best way to regain access to your device after you forget your PIN code. As long as you're logged into your Google Account on your phone, it will work for you. Just get on your computer, login to Android Device Manager, and select the device in question from the list of devices associated with your account. Counter-intuitively, you then tap "Lock". Once you lock your phone with a new code, it overrides the original code that you had forgotten. Then, hey presto, you have access to your phone again! Other alter nativ es for alternativ natives bypassing the lock scr een screen Smart lock (Android 5.0 and Up) Newer versions of Android have tighter security than older ones, which could be unlocked with a
Google account login. But they do have the Smart Lock feature, which lets you have the phone automatically unlock under certain conditions, such as when it connects to your home WiFi network, for example. In this case, when you forget your pattern or PIN, just go back home to unlock your phone without it. This can be set up for a variety of conditions. Use your Google account (Android 4.4 and below) So, you’re locked out of your device and cannot remember your pattern unlock. What do you do? Thankfully, you don’t need to panic as there is a pretty straight forward way to get into your device. • Attempt the pattern unlock five times (maybe you’ll get lucky and guess/ remember it!). • After the fifth attempt, you’ll be locked out but an option at the bottom of the screen that says "Forgot Pattern" will appear, click on it. • Sign into your Google Account. • Once authenticated with your Google Account, you’ll be able to choose a new PIN, pattern, lock, etc., and unlock your device. Third party security options Some smartphone manufacturers often bundle their own security software into a device, such as Find My Mobile by Samsung. Such features can be particularly useful for getting past the lock screen, but you will have to
have set this up already. If you did, just visit the corresponding website from another device or PC and unlock your phone from there. The last rresor esor t: esort: factor y rreset eset factory The last resort is to conduct a factory reset. But watch out because this will erase all the data on your Android device, so only do this if you really have tried all of the above options. The easiest method for doing this with a locked phone is by logging into the Android Device Manager online. From here you have the option to conduct a complete factory reset. If you can't access Android Device Manager for some reason, or you're not signed into your Google Account on the locked device, then you must do a hardware reset, which means entering your device’s recovery mode manually. The method for conducting a hardware factory reset differs on each device, but it generally involves holding down the power and volume buttons when your device is switched off. In case your experience differs from the steps in our previous link, you can search through our website to find the factory reset guide for your specific device. Do you have any other tips for bypassing the lock screen on Android? Have your attempts to reset your PIN code been successful? (Nicholas Montegriffo, AndroidPIT)

prosecutors, noting there is still no definite finding on whether the respondents would be absolved of the charges. “In all drug cases under preliminary investigation, the dismissal of the charges at the level of the investigating prosecutors until its approval by the prosecutor general cannot be considered as final since the secretary of justice still has to review the resolution and to take appropriate actions thereon, just like in the present case, wherein he remanded it to the new panel of prosecutors,” the duo said. The prosecutors described as premature the recommendation of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC) to have them placed under preventive suspension. For his part, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said the PACC is not familiar with the workings at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and that there was no basis for pushing for the suspension of the prosecutors. “The complaint is without basis because they do not know the workings and procedure of the DOJ when conducting preliminary investigation,” Aguirre said
when sought for a comment on the PACC recommendation. PACC Commissioner Greco Belgica said the DOJ prosecutors should have conducted clarificatory hearings and exerted extra efforts before resolving the case against the respondents. The commission is also recommending a show cause for police officers who filed what was described as a “weak” case, and vowed to conduct a lifestyle check on erring officials. Belgica said the commission submitted last week its recommendation to President Rodrigo Duterte. “We are here to say the commission en banc has recommended for the preventive suspension of all prosecutors who handled the case and to show cause against police who filed what we call as a weak case,” Belgica said. Aguirre also made it clear to the President that the state prosecutors’ decision to dismiss the criminal complaint filed by the CIDG would be automatically reviewed by his office. “I asked the two parties to file all the other evidence they may have for them to be considered by a new panel (of DOJ prosecutors),” he said, add-
ing, the new panel of prosecutors is empowered to continue the preliminary investigation on the cases against the two alleged drug kingpins. “Because of this continuing outrage of the ignorant, what I did is that I recall(ed) the dismissal the drugs cases against Kerwin and company and created a new panel to continue the investigation and clarificatory of this case and I asked the two parties to file all order that they may have their evidence para yan ang i-consider ng ating (so that will be considered by our) new panel and the motion for reconsideration filed by CIDG has been moot and academic because of this order,” he said. The measure, Aguirre said, would allow the parties, including the PNP-CIDG, to submit additional pieces of evidence to support their respective position. Aguirre said the CIDG can now beef up its case before a credible panel of prosecutors on the motion for reconsideration they have filed on the original December 20, 2017 resolution.
