by Business Executive John Paul Ordiz Bayan of Brgy Luna of said City.

According to him, sometime in June this year, a certain Jane Samson of Butuan City rented the space to be used as dental clinic.

Culprits reportedly used the said establishment as entry point to Botica Lina by creating a hole at the roof of the comfort room using acetylene, medical oxygen, acetylene gauge and acetylene hose. Botica Lina lost P40,000.00 cash in the incident.

Seen through the CCTV installed at Botica Lina were three persons, whose identities could not be fully determined, as they covered the lenses with cloth.

Making another hole, they gained entry to Agencia Surigao and carted away assorted jewelleries.

Recovered from the crime scene were a spare hack saw; an electrical plier; a hack saw; a steel cutter; white bag; two craw bars; a hydraulic jack; a hand drill; a bolt cutter; seven sawn lumbers; and two screw drivers.

The case is still being investigated by the police.

SURIGAO CITY -- The Chamber of Mines of Caraga is calling on President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and Environment Secretary Ramon Paje to appoint a regional director for the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, saying they have been losing money because of the delay of processing of documents.

If no regional director can be installed, the chamber pleaded that former Regional Director Roger A. de Dios, who was earlier relieved after allegedly disobeying the verbal order of his boss,

be reinstated.

Chamber President Dulmar Raagas said the whole industry in Caraga’s five provinces, particularly in Surigao del Norte considered as the country’s mining hub, are affected by the absence of an MGB regional director.

In a press conference Thursday, Raagas said they are incurring losses because of the delay of documents, like the Ore Transport Permit and Mineral Ore Export Permit, which now takes more than two weeks to process MINERS | page 11

DA’s Food Terminal project brings success to coop store

By Aurel Arais

BUTUAN CITY – As strong as the tree named Bayug, where Bayugan got its name, the JCA Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Multi-Purpose Cooperative (JARBEMCO) stands strong through the tests of time.

JARBEMCO was organized on April 5, 1999 by agrarian reform beneficiaries of farmlands covering 303 hectares in barangays Sta. Teresita, Osmeña, Hamogaway and Marcelina, Bayugan City.

From 51 original cooperators, JARBEMCO’s membership increased to 145 CARP beneficiaries composed of former worker-employees of the defunct JCA Rubber Development

Corporation.

Initially, JARBEMCO focused on producing rubber, durian, mangosteen and coconut in existing plantations. It later expanded to developing oil palm (120 hectares), falcata (6 hectares) and rubber (60 hectares) plantations.

To cater to the needs of its workers, JARBEMCO ventured into a store that grew after availing itself of assistance, under the Barangay Food Terminal (BFT) project of the Department of Agriculture on February 9, 2011.

BFT Incharge Noralyn Gonzaga said , the DA provided the cooperative with equipment, such as two cold storage facilities, plastic crates, three weighing scales, push cart, plastic

tray, styro foam boxes, electronic cash register and P100,000 additional capital for the store.

JARBEMCO raised P100,000 as counterpart for the procurement of food products, such as meat, poultry products, fish, fruits and vegetables.

The coop store opened up a market for local farmers and swine raisers in the community.

BFT has two regular employees and two oncall workers during peak season receiving minimum daily wages.

According to Gonzaga, the Barangay Food Terminal project has helped JARBEMCO’s workers and employees of its various departments in terms of availing themselves of the

Dagupan to build a river transport ferry DAGUPAN CITY -- The city government will build a new pier for a proposed transport ferry that will ply the Pantal River and other major rivers in Dagupan.

City Planning and Development Officer Romeo Rosario said the ferry will be offered not only for tourists taking leisurely rides in major rivers of Dagupan but also to city residents as a mode of transport.

Rosario led Mayor Belen Fernandez and City Engineer Virginia Rosario to the proposed site of river ferry pier just down below the new Pantal Bridge and in front of the district office of the National Bureau of Investigation.

The ferry is expected to replace the Dawel River Cruise put up by the past city administration for the pier called Daongan ed Dawel alone.

The Dawel River Cruise was discontinued while Mayor Fernandez was acting Dagupan mayor as its three thatched- roofed boats were suddenly pulled out June 1 by men of the former mayor telling these were owned by Mayor Benjamin Lim. While asking the auditor’s office to verify the ownership of the boats, Fernandez said she might as well put up a river ferry to serve as a mode of inter-barangay transport which is badly needed in Dagupan due to daily vehicular traffic congestion.

Thus, the river ferry will not just be a tourist facility but also an alternative transport system, the mayor said. (PNA)

Proper garbage management becomes source of income

JAKARTA, July 8 (PNA/ Antara) -- Garbage which is sorted and managed properly and then saved in a trash bank can become a source of public income.

The Indonesian Environment Ministry’s program of trash banks in the beginning was to overcome trash problem and to increase public awareness of waste management, but now it also provides great economic benefits to the society.

“Trash management does not only make a city clean and beautiful but it also improves the economy of the people as has been expected by the government,” Environment Ministry’s Waste Management Deputy Assistant Sudirman said in Probolinggo, East Java, on Sunday.

Initiated by the Ministry of Environment, the trash bank program was considered an effective concept to overcome trash problems and create a cleaner, healthier and more comfortable environment.

The presence of the trash bank is part of the Ministry of Environment’s target to develop at least 25 trash banks in each of 250 cities across Indonesia by 2014.

Sudirman said the Ministry has recorded a turnover of Rp15.7 billion per month from all existing trash banks in the country.

As of December 2012, there were 1,136 trash banks in 55 districts and cities, involving around 29,203 workers but now the number has increased significantly.

“Now there are a total of 1,195 trash banks in 58 districts and cities with 106,000 workers that produce Rp15.7 billion per month,” Sudirman noted.

“Therefore, he called on the people to save the trash in the trash banks to produce money to pay their electricity and telephone bills,” he added.

Sudirman said a trash bank was a garbage management technique by adopting a banking management, but the instrument of transaction was garbage, not money.

Due to a lucrative additional income from trash management, Sudirman invited all people to actively manage the trash problem properly in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

He said the presence of trash banks was first initiated by the people of Bantul district in Yogyakarta and now it has been developed and applied in various parts of the country.

The trash bank initiator in Yogyakarta was Bambang Suwerda who had said the garbage bank existence could also change the social status of scavengers who roamed the garbage heaps to pick out inorganic waste.

Bambang said the scavengers who brave the heat to comb through the mountains of trash for anything salable virtually contributed to solve the waste problem.

He also said that through the trash bank development program, the scavengers would have clear access to work with waste collectors and waste receptacles in a number of factories.

Following his initiative to introduce the trash bank to the people of Bantul District, Bambang was granted a Greenovation Award by the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) in November 2011.

He said the granting of the Greenovation Award

2011 was for the success of “Gemah Ripah Trash Bank” to civilize and propagate the spirit of environmentallyfriendly trash management among the local community.

Trash bank as part of efforts to overcome ubiquitous problem in Indonesia is also able to empower the people’s economy at grassroots level.

Trash is actually a ubiquitous problem in Indonesia as the people either burn their garbage in front of their houses or simply throw it into the rivers, for they have lack of methodical way to deal with it.

Consequently, riverbanks in urban as well as rural areas are plagued with massive pile-ups of plastic bottles, empty bags of chips and various types of large and small trash.

Therefore, the Ministry of Environment has launched a trash bank development program in a bid to raise the circulation of people’s economic value and to reduce the trash problem.

But the Environmental Affairs Minister Balthasar Kambuaya said in Surabaya, East Java, in March 2013 that trash bank has not yet spread evenly in the country.

Therefore, he has encouraged all regional administrations to establish trash banks to overcome garbage problems besides increasing the people’s additional income.

“If the trash is properly managed, the volume could be reduced up to 50 percent.

Besides, it could also increase the income of local people,” the minister said.

The environmental affairs minister has noted that one person could produce two kilograms of garbage per day, and if he or she managed it

properly, it could turn into a source of income.

He said trash banks held great potential for both city and provincial governments and therefore, all cities and districts in every province should have them.

The minister pointed out that the presence of a trash banks would help improve the local people’s economy because those who have the capability to value trash and sort it according to type and sell it to the banks would have an additional income.

According to Bremenbased Overseas Research and Development Association (BORDA) in Germany, more than 22.5 million tons of garbage are generated in Indonesia every year, and by 2020, Indonesians are

expected to throw away 53.7 million tons of waste.

BORDA, a close observer of local government capacity in solid waste management, sees basic problems in Indonesian cities, such as a lack of logistics and

Very dangerous indeed THE move of House Speaker Feliciano “Sonny” Belmonte to amend the Constitution through constituent assembly is indeed very dangerous.

It could be likened to a boy tinkering with a time bomb to prevent it from exploding.

For one, the people did not elect their national legislators, senators and congressional representatives, so they can tinker with the Constitution. The primary reason for their election is for them to enact laws that will provide the legislative framework by which the Aquino administration could achieve its program of extricating the poor from economic suffering and misery.

Convening itself as a constituent assembly to propose amendments to the Constitution to serve the interest of foreign capitalists is downright treason.

It is selling the country to these foreign capitalists lock, stock and barrel. In fact, Belmonte and those who share with him his

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II treasonous idea should be locked up in jail not sent to the hallowed halls of the Philippine Congress.

Belmonte and like minded solons want to remove from the Constitution those provisions protecting the interest of the Filipino people.

They want foreign capitalists who are also known as foreign investors to have access to every resource in this country, human and natural, like any ordinary Filipino citizen.

If Filipino citizens are afforded by the Philippine Constitution the sole right to own real estate properties and the privilege of extracting any mineral re-

sources found beneath it, Belmonte and company want that this same right and privilege be given to foreigners. Something must be wrong with that grey matter in between the ears of Belmonte and company why they have thought of giving this same right and privileges to non-Filipinos.

It is just like giving somebody the right to enjoy the body of your wife. If this is not outright foolish, pray tell what is.

Let us remember this naked truth at all times that when a foreign capitalist comes to our country to do business here, the motive is to rake in more profits for

Decide your destiny

THINK a minute.

A man was cleaning his car with a special brush when a little girl who had been watching him said, “My daddy has a brush like that to clean his car too.” “Really!” said the man.

“What kind of car does your daddy have?” The little girl answered: “Oh, he hasn’t got the car yet, but he’s got the brush to clean it.”

Well, I suppose you have to start somewhere! The important thing is that you do get started. And to do that, we first have to decide what kind of life we want.

It’s strange how many of us want to live forever, when we can’t even decide what to do with our life now! Like the guy who said: “I’m going

to stop putting things off, starting tomorrow.”

You see, even if others have made decisions for you, you can still decide how you’ll respond and handle the life that’s been handed to you. You still have control of your own attitudes. Happiness is an attitude and choice, no matter what situation you’re in. Remember, you can always find someone worse off than you whom you can help. It’s only when we stop looking at our own problems and reach out to make others happy, that we ourselves can be truly happy. But if you choose not to make a decision, that also is your decision you’ll live with. There are

many smart, talented people who have never enjoyed the success they could have, simply because they could not make a decision and discipline themselves to follow through with it.

Remember, if your life doesn’t change, it’s going stay the same! It’s that simple. So to move on from where you are, you must first decide where you’d rather be. If you can’t change your mind, you can’t change your life. “The moment you’re through changing, you’re through!”

The great writer Tolstoy said: “Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself.”

So ask yourself right now: What’s the one decision I need to make to change

him. This is so because the primary reason for being of every capitalist undertaking is to earn huge profits. This point is proved beyond any doubt by the behavior and actuation of the telecommunications monopoly in the country.

While the government through the National Telecommunications Commission, the regulatory body of the industry, wants the telecommunications providers such as Smart, Globe and Sun to reduce their short messaging service or text message charge to .80 centavos per message to any network, the monopoly up to this day still has to comply with such order. Up to this day, they continue to refuse to heed the order with the national agency inutile in implementing its own order.

We should never delude ourselves to imagine that when a foreign capitalist comes to our shores, they come to help develop the local economy. When they, INDEED | page 7

RH law to decimate Christianity in PH LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, `Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it’…” (Genesis 1:27-28, the Holy Bible).

-ooo“RH LAW TO DECIMATE CHRISTIANITY IN RP”: Here is a question by one of our readers here about the Reproductive Health Law, which is being debated on at the Supreme Court: are the proponents of this law aware that it will have the ultimate effect of reducing the number of Christians and increasing the population of other religious groups which even encourage polygamy, or the practice of having two to four wives simultaneously?

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio The reader argues: since the RH Law would enable men and women from the Christian religions to limit the number of their children using family planning or any anti-fertility drugs and instruments that are given away for free under its provisions, that would reduce all the more the already dwindling Christian population.

-oooRH LAW FAVORING NON-CHRISTIANS? On the other hand, the same reader told me, the members of other spiritual groups

who are not Christians but who are privileged enough to have more than one wife can still manage to have more children, even if they practice (assuming they will indeed practice) family planning and use antifertility drugs and gadgets under the RH Law. These non-Christians will still have more children simply because they have more families, thereby enabling them to become more numerically dominant in the very near future, having the capacity to alter the Filipino nation’s religious affiliation

and to decimate Christianity in the Philippines, our reader is saying. I wonder what RH Law proponents will say to this? Any comment, Sen. Pia Cayetano?

-oooNOT BY PRESIDENT AQUINO ALONE: Yes, Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda, there are now more Filipinos who believe that corruption in the Philippines has gone down under President Aquino, but then, it is not really what the people believe in that matters on issues of corruption, but the continuing actuality and presence of graft in government, even now that the President is on his way out.

What is totally dismaying here is the fact that the present Aquino presidency was told, in more ways than one, that despite its sincere decimate | page 7

for example, locate in the numerous Economic Zones in the country, they are there intentionally to avail of the numerous tax holidays given them and because of the exemption from the coverage of the Philippine labor laws and, above all, to avail of our cheap labor.

Yes it’s true that they are able to provide employment to our jobless compatriots in the process.

But providing jobs to the jobless is not their primary concern why they are locating in these Economic Zones.

Their ability to provide jobs to the thousands of jobless Filipinos is merely incidental. If they can operate without having to hire workers so they can maximize their profit, they’ll readily do so.

Besides, these locators in the various Economic Zones are very discriminating as to who they will hire.

Only those with technical skills and other academic professionals that get themselves employed in these locator companies.

But the bigger problem is that the government takes pride in claiming that because of these foreign capitalists in Economic Zones, jobs were created.

They are available only as long as the government is able to feed on the insatiable greed of these foreign capitalists for tax incentives, noncoverage of our labor laws the government’s ability to maintain low wages for their employees.

Objectively speaking, the vision, mission, goal of these foreign capitalists in coming here is anathema to the vision, mission, goal of the Filipinos to have prosperous, full and abundant life that is lasting and not just temporary.

We’ll continue this column Wednesday next week for more elaboration of our point why as a people we should vehemently and strongly oppose the treasonous move of Belmonte and company.

Pass your paper!

Decimate...

COMICALLY we remember this instruction when in school dating back Gods knows when and remember our strict adherence to a time period.

Not a second more for some teachers who will disqualify our papers should we pursue to continue writing regardless of any reason.

Put simply, when told, the test commences and absolutely with no extension. This is an absolute rule! Harry Tambuatco We submit to the very same phrase when God calls us ending our stay on earth, and not for a second more.

Not to sound too churchy but this happens to be the truth especially in cases of sudden death be it an unforeseeable accident or an incurable disease.

No matter the science be it for the future centuries, there is not much we can do to extend life as we know it unless you believe in the fountain of youth and stem cells but that would be another story. When God calls – it’s simple; you leave, period.

Which now brings us to this article; with direct reference to rules, regulations and the law?

How and why is it that we have become accustomed to bending them, if not breaking the laws knowing they were made with our participation (for the body-politic of course) to avoid tyranny and chaos. And yet for the many who are educated and worst with authority, there is the culture of impunity amongst us. Not even the courts can make the citizenry toe the line.

and honest intentions to eliminate graft and c o r r u p t i o n , r e m ov i n g or reducing it will not be achieved by the sole spectacle of the President being honest or sincere.

There must first be a corresponding transformation among the bureaucracy and among the people, which cannot be effected by mere slogans like “daang matuwid” (or “righteous path”).

-oooBIGGEST CHAL-

LENGE TO ANY PRESIDENT: In fact, the biggest challenge of any president who will serve the countr y for only a ver y brief period of six years is to discard grandiose illusions that he, by himself, can do something that w i l l re a l ly b enef it t he nation as a whole, even i f he happ e ns to have come from so-called democracy icons, or from parents who are revered worldwide.

Even if he is the presi-

dent who has the vast powers of the government at his beck and call, he cannot do anything that w i l l push t he c ou nt r y and its people towards success and progress, as President Aquino maybe painfully finding out now.

Only God can do something, and the best legacy that any president can ever leave is to bring h is p e opl e to a b e tte r understanding and familiarity of God so they can start being righteous

and spiritually revived.

-oooFOLLOWING SOLOMON’S EXAMPLE: Any president of this country who is aware of the sixy e ar l i m it at i on of h i s term must strive to follow the example of the greatest human king of all, King Solomon, to enable him to rule effectively and successfully.

When asked by God as to what he wanted after h av i n g b e e n i n s t a l l e d as king of the Israelites

e ven w hen he was yet a minor, S olomon did not ask for wealth and riches, nor for the death of his enemies, but for knowledge to rule.

God gave it to him, allowing him to become a king like no other.

As for the rich and powerful, the law is not carved in stone and made by man; meaning man can change these laws to suit them.

The all-resourceful Pilipino or should we use the proper term, Filipino is above the law in cases where the law is disadvantageous. To my understanding the laws of the land pertain to all and not a few (as per Mayor Fred Lim, who having lost this past election) just maybe no longer applies.

The President and the authorities are obviously above the law and the economy is dictated by the oligarchs who dictate to the judiciary and the legislative. Or maybe it is also the legislative that is the law by way of their dictatorial powers and financial authorities. We already know there is no such thing as a good dynasty and yet we are told by the law (pun intended) that there are good dynasts.

We are either too stupid to realize this or too scared to throw them out. We have already had our people powers to no gain and are left to fend for ourselves. The media has become inutile serving the law (people/ authorities) and there is no longer public opinion. Alternatives no longer present themselves only to court disaster with adventurism.

As for the incompetence, the ineffective authorities and department heads of government, the lawless and corrupt – we settle for a chaotic democracy where our streets no longer can accommodate our traffic, our rivers deluding communities, our farms no longer producing and infrastructure that is eroding. Should we be the ones to pass your paper or our leaders?

By BONG FABE of BusinessDaily

The 7.5% unemployment rate as of April casted a cloud of doubt on the robustness a nd i nclusiveness of t he c ou nt r y ’s g row t h rate of 7.8% in the first quarter, which made the Philippines the fastestgrowing economy in Asia, surpassing China’s robust 7.7% growth rate in the same quarter.

The Philippines’ FDI in 2012 was a measly US$2.8 billion, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said, which is abysmal compared to other Asian nations, which had from US$10 billion to US$50 billion. China alone had a 2012 FDI of US$254 billion.

L ast Ma rch, Fitch R at i ngs a nd St a nd a rd & Poor’s upgraded t he Philippines’ investment rat ing to “BBB-” f rom “ BB +”, w i t h a s t a b l e out look because of the country’s macroeconomic fundamentals.

But all these good news, Rodriguez said, is being pulled down by no less than the country’s basic law, which restricted foreign ownership of property to 40%.

proposing is just to amend the economic provisions in our Constitution and nothing else,” he stressed.

Rodrig uez said t hat now is the good time to amend Article XII of the Constitution because of the good economic growth of the countr y and the good investment ratings it garnered from Fitch and S&P’s.

“Removing the protectionist clause and improving access of foreign businesses will ultimately leapfrog the Philippines’ economic growth as it will hasten in FDIs,” he said.

He also stressed that this is the only way to go to prepare the Philippines for t he Associat ion of Southeast Asian Nations Economic Com mu nit y (AEC) in 2015. By that year, Southeast Asia will have one ma rket , l i ke t he E u rop e a n Un ion .

And FDIs will sure pour in, especially since the Philippines have so much investment opportunities in manufacturing, rea l estate, agriculture, infrastructure, retail, and tourism, among others.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Your fast thinking gets you out of trouble more than once today, though one of those times may be extremely tight! Try to avoid trouble altogether if you can, as that way is much safer.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Your mental energy is strong and bold today -- and you can absorb new information with ease. Things are looking up for you, and you may find that the things you learn today make your path clearer.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You may find yourself inspired today -- so get busy and make sure that you have something to work on!

If not, it’s a good time to seek out new options or consult with wise friends.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - You are focused on relationships today -- possibly to the exclusion of your own issues. Make sure that you give all your people the attention they deserve so that you get what you need in return.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Tackle every task methodically today -- otherwise, you may miss out on a few key details! Your energy is fine for small stuff, but the big picture may be harder for you to grasp.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Your energy is practically limitless today, so make the most of it by doing as much as you can! It’s best to stay active and launch new things, though you can have fun doing almost anything.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - See if you can convince your boss to let you write up the meeting notes or quarterly report -- your way with words is strong now. You could also use it to further your love life, of course!

Agusan Norte SP to pass health, tourism code

By Johny S. Natad

TERESITA ANG SEE, a Filipino-Chinese social activist, educator, cultural worker and author recognizes the noble efforts and contributions of Mr. Crispin Lim Young, a coFilipino-Chinese from Butuan City in writing his two-volume book on “Biographical Sketches of Chinese Settlers in the Butuan-Agusan Area,” during the book-launching held on Saturday, July 6 at the Red Palm Suites, Butuan City.

Mascarinas said the training, held on July 6-7, aimed to enhance the knowledge, skills and interest of students on news reporting/writing, as well as in photography.

“Students also contribute to nation-building and with right information and ethics, they can be of great help in informing the public on the events happening in the different areas and take photos using their tools in their own creativity,” Mascarinas said.

He said that when taking photos of an event/situation, one should apply the ‘Rule of Thirds’, which gives more dramatic and visually interesting shot. “Every photo should also contain the message and should not necessarily be beautiful or aesthetic.”

Vanessa Almeda, marketing officer of MindaNews, said news writing is a craft and may be mastered not so much through higher studies in the academe but through constant reading and practice.

“There is no substitution for accuracy in reporting the news. This also goes to show that in journalism, there is no substitute for truth. After all, the journalist’s best defense is the truth,” said Almeda.

Meanwhile, Mr. Horacio Marcos Mordeno, editor-inchief of MindaNews, said environmental journalism is dealing with information regarding current events,

trends, issues and people that are associated with the non-human world with which humans necessarily interact.

“When writing environmental news, one must consider the following key pointers: social and economic issues (including conflict); indigenous peoples; laws/ policies (including actual budget); and people’s actions/environmental groups,” Mordeno cited.

With these developments, the MindaNews also expressed that the organization will replicate such activity in other schools to capacitate the students.

Also present during the two-day training are the personnel from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), some media personalities from regions 10 and 13 (Caraga). (JPG/PIA-Caraga/jdelpf)

were actually pressured to release Bantuasan by his declaration during the MPOC meeting on July 8 that he will not give in to any demand from the NPA. In said meeting, he advised the negotiating team to put pressure on the abductors to release the kagawad on July 10 or else he will ask the military to conduct heavy combat operation, if only retrieve Bantuasan even if it causes his life.

Lt. Col. Gille, commander of the the 26IB supported

the mayor’s move, saying the Philippine Army will definitely conduct pursuit operation if Bantuasan is not released on the 10th of this month.

“The 26IB troopers are anytime ready to address the situation if the Municipal Crisis Management Committee decides so,” he said.

Bantuasan was immediately brought to Butuan City for medical consultation before officially presenting him before the crisis body of Loreto. (1st Lt. Kris Sarsagat, 26IB CMO Officer, and member Mindanao Press Alliance for Sustainable Development/jdelpf)

because the MGB central office has to act on these instead of the regional office.

Raagas stressed that some companies were forced to pay the demurrage for the container ship in the amount of US$10,000 per day because of the delay of the documents.

He said the central office will always assign a caretaker in the regional office, but the same could not issue those permits and other documents because only the regional director can do so.

“I think it is a clear bureaucratic red tape on the part of the MGB, which President Aquino doesn’t like,” he opined.
