Galario administers wedding of 108 couples

By VINCENT NAVARRO, Mindanao Daily News-Bukidnon

VALENCIA City––Mayor Jose “The Action Man” M. Galario Jr. has administered the wedding of at least 108 unwed couples during the “mass wedding” ceremony held at the Covered Court here on February 14.

“Kini nga proyekto akong ginahimo kada tuig aron mahimong legal ang pagpanag-uban niadtong mag-tiayon nga wala pa makasal (This project is conducted every year to legalize the marriage of those unwed couple),” Galario said in vernacular adding, “mao sab kini ang panahon nga mapakita sa lalaki ang iyang dako ug tinuanay nga gugma ngadto sa iyang napiling kapikas (This is also the time for the man to express his real feeling and great love to his choosen partner).”

“After this mass wedding, you’re no longer called ‘live-in’ or ‘bedtime partner’ but two people bound together under our law by virtue of the power bested upon me as local chief executive of the city of Velencia,” added Galario.

“Nakarehistro na sa Civil Registrar ang inyong kasal ug ang marriage contract inyo na kining magamit kung kini inyon gikinahanglan aron mo-apply og trabaho o ba kaha mo-travel ngadto sa laing nasud (You can now use your marriage contract as official document especially when you apply for a job or travel to another country since you are now registered with the Civil Registrar),” the mayor said. Aside from the mass wedding, the city government of Valencia, through Galario, gave each couple P600 as cash gift.

Bukidnon hosts first ever national language summit MALAYBALAY City–– Lordjane Caballero-Dordas from the Panay-Bukidnon tribe was pleased to get acquainted with other indigenous peoples (IPs) in the country.

Known in her tribe as Lagdungan (meaning “cannot be overshadowed”), the granddaughter of a “Binukot” (well-kept maiden) is just one of the hundreds of IPs from all over the

Philippines who gathered here for the country’s first ever language summit.

Members of different ethno-linguistic tribes such as the Aeta, B’laan, Sama-Bajau, Panay-Bukidnon, Manobo, Tagakaolo, Higaonon, and Subanen, among others, were here for a three-day summit that tests the Filipino language as lingua franca in crosscultural communication.

Delia Giron of the Ivatan tribe in Batanes said she appreciated the discussions in the open forum held on February 13.

She said, “Naipalabas talaga ang mga hinaing ng mga katutubo...Very accommodating din ang mga guests (The IPs were really able to air their grievances...

The guests speakers were also very accommodating).”

Arnold Reyes, a BuhidMangyan from Mindoro, echoed this, saying: “magandang pagkakataon ito para sa isang mapayapang usapan (The summit was a good opportunity for a peaceful dialogue).”

The open forum tackled IP issues such as the perceived exclusion of the Bajaus in RA 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), the absence of IP mandatory representatives (IP-MR) in some LGUs, mining in areas without the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of the Aetas in Pampanga, and IP scholarships.

The issues were addressed to a panel composed of Virgilio Almario, chair of the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino; Leonor Oralde-Quintayo, chair of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP); Francisco Fernandez, undersecretary for Peace and Order at the Department of the Interior and Local Government; Datu Antonio Kinoc of the MILF peace panel; and Sukarno Tanggol, chancellor of the Mindanao State University- Iligan Institute of Technology.

Datu Hussayin Arpa, a Sama-Bajau and the president of the Philippine Council for Sama and Bajau, claimed they had been left out in the ancestral domain talks.

He said, “Nakalimutan na ang Sama-Bajau...Dahil ba sa dagat kami nakatira kaya di na kami kasali sa ancestral domain? (The Sama-Bajau had been forgotten. Is it because we live in the sea that we can’t claim our ancestral domain?)”

The Bajaus, also known as Sama Dilaut, is a Moro ethnic group of sea dwellers found in the Sulu Archipelago, Mindanao coastal areas as well as in Sabah, Malaysia.

NCIP’s Leonor OraldeQuintayo responded that IPRA also recognizes ancestral waters. “May ancestral waters, ang problema ay kung paano mabibigyang diin ang right na ito,” she said.

Regarding the lack of IP representation in some LGUs, Quintayo said that “they avoid filing a writ of mandamus (a judicial order) but that they would see alternatives to push for its widespread implementation.”

By Irene Roa Anibong and Dodo Canoy

Punong Barangay Roland b. Alfeche hand delivers the request of Principal Nielle Sabornido for the repair of the school’s stage to second district Rep. Juliette Uy of Misamis Oriental. Rep. Uy also granted the request Barangay Luyong Bonbon for the construction of Covered Court worth P2 million during Rep. Uy’s pre-Valentine visit to Opol Mayor Max Sino. Photo courtesy of Dodo Canoy

NOTHING is more special this Valentine season than a P2 million pre-Valentine gift from the compassionate queen of Misamis Oriental second district Rep. Juliette Uy to Barangay Luyong Bonbon, Opol, Misamis Oriental.

Yearning long before, Punong Barangay Roland B. Alfeche of Luyong Bonbon in Opol town was grateful enough when the lawmaker expressed her compassion to help Barangay Luyong Bonbon to construct a

Covered Court worth P2 million.

A pre-Valentine visit at Opol, Misamis Oriental with Mayor Max Sino, Uy has recognized the desire of Alfeche to have a Covered Court. The lawmaker did not hesitate and granted P2 million. It will be constructed this year.

On one hand, Uy has also granted the request of Ms. Nielle B. Sabornido, principal 1 of Barangay Luyong Bonbon Elementary School, for the repair of its school stage.

Alfeche personally submitted Sabornido’s request to the neophyte lawmaker.

Even without the Priority Development Acceleration Fund (PDAF), Rep. Uy did not stop from looking for other means so she can address the needs of her constituents in Misamis Oriental’s second district.

About Opol

Opol is a second class municipality in the province of Misamis Oriental.

According to the 2010 Philippine census, it has a population of 52,108 in 12,731 households.

Opol was created from the barrios of Opol, Igpit, and Lower Iponan, formerly part of Cagayan de Oro, by virtue of Republic Act No. 524, approved June 15, 1950.

The municipality is gradually becoming more urbanized, as result of local population growth and the expansion of nearby Cagayan de Oro City. Historically, Opol was a more rural area focused on agriculture and fishing. The subdivision of rural land for new residential housing is a matter of some controversy amongst locals. en.wikipedia.org

By PAT SAMONTE Regional Editor-Caraga

BUTUAN City––Agusan del Norte First District Rep. Lawrence Lemuel Fortun has assured that the government’s scholarship program facilitated through his constituency office will remain and continue to be available to constituents of Butuan City and Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte.

Fortun made the assurance in response to reports that the scrapping of lawmakers’ Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel allocations, would terminate the government scholarship program mostly financed by the controversial fund and facilitated at congressional districts.

According to the Agusan solon, he was aware of the concerns of students and parents on the matter saying he had lobbied with the national government to continue the implementation of the program which had helped a lot of students in the past.

To cushion the impact of the new system of identifying priority projects in his congressional district, Fortun said that he was able to synchronize efforts with the regional line agencies “in giving impetus to convergence and coordination in response to much needed development initiatives of the district.”

Fortun announced that not only will the scholarship grant remain available, but will be expanded as well. “This will reach even a greater number of poor and deserving students next school year.”

Parents Help Students Aim For Success

By Yulie B. Lumbrino Malaomao Elementary School Quezon, Bukidnon

The novelty of a new school year is wearing off and classes are starting to get a little more challenging for your student. Students might have informed teacher that he / she is busy studying for midterms and that Mathematics or Science class is getting hard or you may not have heard from your child in a few days because he /she is spending hours upon hours in the library preparing for next week’s exams. If students sounds like this, they maybe overwhelmed with their academics. It may feel unsure of how to help your child succeed academically. You can breath deeply knowing that there are resources available for your student and ways to support your child through the semester as courses get more demanding.

Even though attending class plays a huge role in whether or not a student will understand the information, students have to do

more than just show up. Read assigned readings before class, take notes on the readings, take notes during class, and review all the materials after class has indeed.

This may help students understand the information better and feel less inclined to pull all- nighters before a big exam. Also, if student is finding a specific course challenging, encourage them to meet with the teacher outside of class time.

It is easy for the students to get overwhelmed when it feels like there is too much on their plate.

When students develop effective time management strategies, school work may be less overwhelming.

Encourage your student to keep track of their assignments, projects, classes, etc. by using a planner, or calendar. Also remind them to check their scheduled every day.

Students when given an extra motivation in their studies will most likely reap its success.

Dress code: Conservatism vs Modernism

By Censusa R. Abuel San Simon Elementary School Principal - I

Power- dressing isn’t what is used to be. In years past professional women were trapped in dull business attire, even while attending after-work events. But in today’s more colorful corporate world, as the accompanying photographs indicate, you shouldn’t feel trapped by a basic-blackand-pearls dress code. When updating your spring wardrobe to incorporate stylish casual flair, make certain that your everyday professional look is polished, office-friendly (for your specific work environment) and on point. (yahoo.com) There are two levels of business attire: Business professional (the most conservative corporate dress) and informal business

professional ( a more relaxed version of the business professional look). The business professional look includes a conservative suit in a solid or pinstriped pattern.

Preferred colors are navy, dark brown, gray and black. White and pastel-colored blouses are acceptable. Pumps with a closed heel and toe accessorize your suit. The informal professional looks incorporate more pizzazz and color- - in jackets, sweaters and blouse styles - - and even dresses skirts in silky prints combined with tailored jackets and sweaters, (yahoo.com) One of the presenters in the seminar I recently attended discussed about official DepEd uniform or appropriate attire of a school teacher or DepEd member. Though the discussion was very elementary to be

What Should We Value in our Life?

By Roel U. Riveral T-II/OIC, Umagling E/S

One of the most important things in our life is value. But the question is, what do we value in our life? Most people value all those worldly things on earth.

Money, position, prestige, cars are some of the things that people give importance and therefore form part their value. But is it really the value that we need to attained?

The value that everyone should possess must be the value that can make us a better person. It must be a person who prioritize not only the worldly things instead the value that could uplift human dignity and avoiding selfish interest. If you begin to dream of something, think for the possible consequences towards others.

If you are about to eat a handful

of rice without much labor for it, think for those families who cannot even find something to fill in their empty stomach. If you are about to cut those trees in the forest think of those thousands of life that might be affected if their will be floods caused by heavy rains and nothing will hold those waters from the mountain regions.

It is a call for every one of us to reminisce what value we should acquire, cherished and live for it. It should be the value that makes us to be a better person not only in the eyes of the humanity but a better person to the eyes of the Most High.

We should not be like those people who are singing their own phrases instead let others to sing that phrases for you.

understood at our level but it led me to realize a certain attitude of a DepEd employee that this policy is very simple to follow but there are still some who never wears uniform and does not wear an attire appropriate to our profession as teacher. Based on the DepEd Manual, the teacher should observed an appropriate attire which I quote; “Employee shall be dressed in appropriate business attire when there is no prescribed office uniform for the day. The wearing of maong pants although generally prohibited, may be considered as appropriate when paired with collard polo/shirt or

any appropriate blouse or shirt”.

One way to gain respect from our students, peers, officemates, is to dress comfortably and appropriately that fits the occasion, event or workplace.

As professionals, we have to be dignified in our physical bearing, in words and actions that go with the wearing of uniforms be it in schools or private, public offices.

As what Emily Post says in her book Etiquette Advantage “The way we dress is not the only determining factor in the image we present, but dressing inappropriately or in a nonprofessional way usually doesn’t leave the impression of success.

The Future of Technology In Education

By Angelbert J Mantabote Pinilayan Elementary School-Quezon II District

Schools will only need one major thing to be prepared for the future. They will not need software installed, servers or local file storage. School will need a fast robust internet connection. Infrastructure is paramount to the future of technology in education. This should be happening now. If you want to start to use mobile technology in your school, whether it is an iPad program or bring your own device (BYOD) program connectivity must be fast and reliable.School classroom are going to change. Thanks to the mobile devices, technology will be integrated into every part of school. In fact, it won’t just be the classrooms that will change, games fields, gyms and school trips will all change. Whether offsite or on the school, teachers, students and support staffs will all be connected.

This technology can encourage independent learning. Teachers

could adopt a flipped classroom approach more often. Students will take ownership of their own learning. Teachers can put resources for students online for students to use.

These could be videos, documents audio podcasts or interactive images. All of these resources can be accessed via a student’s computer, smartphone or tablet. As long as they have internet connection either via Wifi,3G or 4G they are good to go How often do teacher get an opportunity to collaborate productively using technology in the classroom? It isn’t always easy, However, students working on documents together using Google Apps is easy. These are all good skills for students to have. Of course, these collaborative tools are also very useful for teachers. Plenty of schools have already embraced this, but there’s still a way to go to ensure all school are ready for the future technology.

Imprisonment proposed for buying or selling of dissertations The practice of buying or selling dissertations, theses, term papers and other reports to acquire academic credentials must be outlawed and never tolerated, a lawmaker has declared.

Rep. Delphine Gan Lee is author of HB 3793 or the proposed “Academic Honesty Act of 2013.” The measure is entitled “An Act prohibiting the unlawful sale and purchase of dissertations, theses, term papers, essays, reports or any other assignment or school work.”

This measure if it becomes a law, will surelyhcleansed our educational system of incompetent employees and students.

Honesty amd hardwork should not be compromised.

Our country’s human development program, especially our educational system, should, among other important foundations, be based and developed on the principle of honesty and

EDITORIAL hard work.

Academic credentials are a necessity in obtaining employment, a promotion or higher compensation in employment, or admission to a prestigious institution but if to tinged with dishonest compliance of requirements, the person involved loses credibility.

Genuine credentials are need when presented in connection with any profession or occupation. But fake or copied ones are only for thieves.

Therefore it is imperative that such academic achievement be obtained only through the efforts of the person claiming it as his or her own, and not the work of people he or she just paid to write said materials.

“This bill seeks to make it unlawful for any person to sell, offer to sell, purchase or offer to purchase any material either

written or provided through electronic media which will be submitted by a student as his or her own work to any university, college, academy, school or other educational institution, or to a course, seminar or degree program held by such institution,” Lee explained.

Section 5 of HB 3793 provides that any person found guilty of violating the proposed law shall be meted a penalty of imprisonment of arresto menor (one day to thirty days), or a fine of not more than ten thousand pesos (P10,000), or both, at the discretion of the court, taking into consideration all attending circumstances.

The proposal which was presented to the Committee on Higher and Technical Education and the Committee on Basic Education for appropriate action and possible endorsement for plenary consideration and approval, is therefor laudable.

Development of micro, small and medium enterprises is neeeded today A measure that seeks to further strengthen the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector must be fasttracked in this perilous times because developing the MSMEs sector would promote the reduction of poverty.

Providing this sector with better incentives and benefits, more access to focused support for enhanced business performance, promoting support to key growth industries and facilitating financing support programs that are much-needed for growth will help improve the design and implementation of the nation’s MSMEs sector,.

Measures to assist MSMEs to integrate themselves in the formal economic market, which will bring forth more job opportunities and the enhanced growth of the nation’s economy.

The declared policy of the State to foster national development, promote inclusive growth and reduce poverty should encourage the establishment of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to facilitate local job creation and production in the country.

Micro enterprises comprised 91.6% of the total number of

MSMEs while small and medium enterprises accounted for 8% and 0.4%, respectively.

In terms of employment generation, MSMEs provided a total of 3,532,935 jobs in 2010 or 62.3% of the total jobs generated by all types of business establishments. Large enterprises generated 2,136,362 jobs and among the MSMEs, micro enterprises created 1,729,100 jobs while small and medium enterprises generated 1,417,672 and 386,163 jobs, respectively.

As the backbone of the Philippine economy, the MSME sector comprises about 99.6% of all registered firms nationwide, employs 62.3% of the labor force and contributes 32% to the economy,.

Under the measure to be known as the “Go Negosyo Act of 2014,” a “Negosyo Center” shall be established in all provinces, cities and municipalities under the supervision of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Council. The MSMED Council shall encourage public-private partnerships in the establishment and management of Negosyo Centers. It shall perform oversight functions and shall assign personnel to fulfill the functions of the Negosyo

Centers.

The Negosyo Centers shall be responsible for promoting ease of doing business and facilitating access to services for MSMEs within its jurisdiction. It shall accept and facilitate all registration application for MSMEs, integrate a unified business process system, encourage government institutions that are related to the business application process and supply information and services in training, financing and marketing.

The MSMED Council shall be composed of the Secretaries of the Departments of Trade and Industry (DTI), Agriculture (DA), Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Interior and Local Government, Science and Technology (DILG) and Tourism (DOT), Director General of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Chairman of the Small Business Corporation, three representatives from the MSME sector, one from the labor sector and the Chairpersons of the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship and the House Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Development.

6th Cinema Rehiyon’s: From Baguio to Davao and now, to Germany

By Althea Dianne Felix

FROM one region to another, these films feature “crossbreed” of stories shot in different locations, with themes highlighting artistry and gender equality.

Special Gospel of the day: Mateo7:21.2427(February17, 2014-Monday) Matthew 7:21.24-27-Not everyone that said unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Therefore whosoever heard these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heard these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it: This gospel reminds us that constant prayers to God is not a guarantee to inherit the kingdom of God unless we will obey His divine will. In Mateo6:9-12-in the prayer of our Father, it is stressed out to become obedient to God. What is His will? In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, which ye should abstain from fornication. Why we need to

The nature in Philippines and Indonesia ONCE upon time, I got an email from a friend of mine who lives in Cagayan de Oro city. He said that, he had already done a social service for visiting the people around his region who had been affected by the typhoon. In his email, he stated that the people in Cagayan de Oro city, and especially those who live in the region affected seem to have been tired living in that disaster-prone nature.

Reading such an email, I directly replied and also explained to him back. I said that we are living in the same natures. Our natures are prone to disaster or calamities. I also told him that in my region, Java, Indonesia had been affected by the flood. We can see almost every region which is up to this time affected by the flood.

Yesterday, (while I’m writing this article Saturday February 15) I sent an email telling him that in Java almost all territories are affected by the explosion of Kelud Volcanno, East Java. I also attached the photo showing the condition of the air which is full of dust or sands. I said to him that, the volcano ex-

DR. DJUWARI STIE Perbanas (College of Economics and Business) Surabaya, Indonesia plosion spreading the dust even to another island that is Madura Island.

However, I closed my email by saying that I am still proud of this nature.

This disaster-prone-nature really reminds me of the God, the creator of the whole universe.

I just think positively that the dust being spread away almost throughout Java and other island, Madura island will be of good thing.

I believe that such dust in huge amount can make the soil more fertile. I believe that the impact of the dust is on the soil for better agricultural plantation in future. By thinking in that way, anything happens

caused by the volcano in my country will be of good thing rather than the merely disaster.

But, I cannot think of anything related to the flood. The flood is to some extent, due to human being attitudes, like in Indonesia.

Mostly, when we analyze the flood, the discussion will result in the root cause.

And, this root cause is about the plantation or chopping the trees irresponsibly in the forests. This is done by irresponsible people. Of course, they are the people who cut all the trees for their own sake. In that case, it is different from typhoon, tsunami, and volcano which are natural disasters.

I experienced having held an international conference in Jakarta, in January 2013. Iamure conference at that time was almost affected by the flood. We almost had no participants for some of them cancelled their participation. Finally, we had only about 50 participants because of the flood and the news covered by the mass media throughout the world: so scary.

Flood, typhoon, tsunami, and volcano explosion are different things. Flood may

be due to the human beings who are greedy or careless in caring the nature. Most of the developing countries, especially like Indonesia, tend to be careless. Caring the infrastructure is not paid attention much. The government seems pays less attention to the irrigation and forest cultivation.

It is common that the forest burned or on fire has never been investigated what causes it. In that case, human beings and the nature are not in harmony. In fact, living in the disaster-prone natures needs our good attitude towards the nature.

Typhoon, tsunami, and volcano explosions are the natural disasters. So, we cannot avoid them but think of them as something natural.

The most important thing is how to pay attention to our infrastructures and love our natures.

Philippines and Indonesia are almost similar in terms of the living things and the nature. We are living in the same nature.

Managing marriage Think a minute.

Did getting married solve all your problems and make you completely happy? Did you know that it’s not supposed to!

In fact, if you’re not a happy person before you get married, then you’ll still be unhappy after you’re married.

In marriage, two people come together and combine not just their strengths and assets, but also their problems. So married life can become even more complicated.

Someone said: “Marriage is like getting a phone call at midnight: first you get a ring, then you wake up!”

So when marriage does not fix our problems, many of us blame marriage or our

spouse.

We think that changing our spouse or outward circumstances is going to solve our problems, including our marriage problems. So we get a better job, more money, a nicer house, even move to another country. But the problem is: wherever you go, there you are! Even if you get a different wife or

husband, a different job, or a new house, the person you are inside is still the same.

Many unhappy marriages may stay together under the same roof, but they actually live separate lives.

They’re like “married singles”: he does his thing, and she goes her way. So their marriage becomes just a financial arrangement with no real love, communication, close friendship and happiness.

But until we stop blaming our wife or husband, or our outward circumstances and we ourselves change, our marriage and life won’t change either. As one wise man put it: “No clever arrangement of bad eggs ever made a good omelet.”

A good omelet can only come from good eggs. And a good, satisfying marriage can only come from two giving people who love, accept, and put the other one’s needs first before their own.

I cannot change my spouse’s personality and ways, and neither can you change yours. But if you let Jesus Christ start changing you first, then after some time your wife or husband may also want to start changing.

So why not be the first one in your marriage to say these words and really mean them from your heart: “Lord, please change my marriage into a happy, satisfying one. And start by changing me first.”

Just Think a Minute…

Word on fire Bro. Edcel L. Closas be holy? In Isaias59:2- sins are the barriers between God and man. Do we have sins? Therefore, repent! On the other hand, Jesus distinguished the two persons in their responses in listening to the words of God. The one man, live what he has heard while the other one just listened and rejected the teachings. In James 1:22-But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Are your deceivers?

-oooMORE TO DIE AMONG YO L A N DA V I C T I M S IF…: The United Nations is right. There is a need for more durable shelter for millions of people whose homes were damaged by Typhoon Yolanda. And this the Aquino government must provide, in one way or another, before the next typhoon comes. Otherwise, there will be more former Yolanda victims who will die in Tacloban, Leyte, Samar

and other Visayan towns and cities.

But on top of shelter and other physical needs, there is a greater need for the victims to be taught that there is a spiritual dimension over typhoons, rains, floods, and winds. Someone must tell them that calamities of this nature have actually been predicted in the Bible. And that, the same predictions contain information as to how to avoid the death and destruction that come from them.

Consequently, I am asking the Aquino government: side by side with the preparations to rehabilitate Tacloban, Samar, and the other areas where Yolanda See VICTIMS, page 11

Preparations for Zamboanga City rehab shift to full gear ZAMBOANGA CITY – National Housing Authority (NHA) personnel are gathering technical data as preparations to implement the rehabilitation program of this city shift to full gear since the national government seeks to accomplish the plan within the specified time.

Assistant City Administrator Elmeir Apolinario said that the NHA personnel are also here to validate information submitted by the local government.

NHA General Manager Chito Cruz earlier said that construction of permanent

The wounded, including teachers and a school nurse, were rushed to hospital.

houses will take about six to 18 months to complete once President Benigno Simeon Aquino III has approved the rehabilitation plan known as the Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction (Z3R).

Similarly, Apolinario said that the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH) has already completed its own survey of the roads and waterways damaged during the September 2013 standoff.

Both agencies--NHA and DPWH--are set to finalize their plans for submission to President Aquino for approval.

Meanwhile, Land Housing and Management Division (LHMD) chief Rodrigo Pagotaisidro is also carefully validating the list of beneficiaries to ensure they are really from the affected areas and were truly displaced from their homes as a result of the standoff.

Reports indicated that families from neighboring areas have sneaked in and at present living at evacuation centers “so they can avail of the program of the government.”

“This is definitely a challenge because we do not want some people to take advantage of the situation,” Apolinario stressed.

“We do not want them to benefit from our rehabilitation efforts at the disadvantage of our legitimate IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons),” he added. (PNA)

Surprise inspection finds irregularities in buses, passenger vans

By TYRONE A. VELEZ Davao Today

D

AVAO CITY – A surprise inspection by transportation agents on terminals in the city discovered irregularities in the registration of some buses and passenger vans.

The Land Transportation Office inspection discovered two buses with different chassis engines from what were listed in official document.

The buses were Bachelor Express with number 4552 plying the Davao-Butuan route and Del Norte Fighters with number 1062 plying the Davao-Mati route.

The inspectors confiscated the buses’ numbered plates as well as the licenses of the bus drivers on violation of illegal chassis law or what they call as ‘colorum’ units.

Two other passenger vans at SM Ecoland also violated the same offense.

The inspectors also checked some old buses and noted some of these have worn out tires.

The violations would net each company a penalty of P6,000 and a warning that the next offense would lead to impounding of the vehicle.

The LTO ordered its regional units to conduct the inspection of passenger vehicles nationwide follow-

ing the ravine fall of a bus in Mountain Province that killed a television comedian and 16 other passengers.

The LTO Region 11 inspectors were accompanied by members of the Land Transport and Franchising Regulatory Board here and made the rounds of the city’s bus terminal in Ecoland and passenger van terminal at SM Ecoland.

LTO Assistant Regional Director Macario Gonzaga warned bus and van operators to comply with proper documentation of their vehicles.

The issue of regulating passenger buses came after the accident of the ill-fated GV Florida Transit bus that fell in a 100-meter deep ravine in Mountain Province last week that killed 17 people .

Transport officials discov-

ered that the bus carried the registration of another bus, depriving victims of accident insurance payments.

Gonzaga admitted that past inspections have been lenient but said they would be strict in their succeeding random inspections.

He also said a thorough inspection of buses should need an order from their national office to let bus companies allow transport inspectors to enter their compound. (Tyrone Velez/ davaotoday.com)

gathering following reports that an alleged commander of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighter and a companion from Jemaah Islamiyah are in the city.

Chief Insp. Lemuel Gonda, chief of COCPO’s operations division, said they are verifying text messages that said a certain Shayk Tahar Mondos believed to be a commander of the BIFF and one Ibrahim believed to be a bomb expert of JI are in Cagayan de Oro in connec-

tion with a “Mindanao-wide terror threat.”

Gonda said BIFF is planning to target major cities around Mindanao.

He said the city police has been augmented with additional officers from the regional headquarters and that they are coordinating with the Philippine Army 4th Infantry Division headquartered in the city.

Gonda said security has been intensified in crowded areas especially churches, malls and bus terminals.

He called on the public to be vigilant.

The city police office, Gonda added, has set in place security preparations, increased police visibility and conducted community awareness in barangays.

He said the bombing threat follows the signing of the peace pact between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Despite the heightened alert, Gonda said the have fielded officers to gather more intelligence about the presence of the two suspects.

The “National Guidelines for the Mandatory Representation of Indigenous Peoples in Local Legislative Councils” sets the policy for IP representation in the Sanggunians or local legislative councils.

Just like the IP-MR, FPIC was also mandated by the IPRA and that measures were being made to ensure their implementation.

Issues like these were discussed during the workshops on Feb. 15.

According to Dr. Jimmy Fong, KWF commissioner for Southern cultural communities, expected outputs in the workshops are peace pacts, position statements and resolutions concerning the use of language to forge a culture of peace.

The summit was also participated by students and teachers of different universities in the country such as the University of the Philippines, Mindanao State University, Palawan State University, Bukidnon State University and Central Mindanao University, among others.

The “Wika ng Kapayapaan: Pambansang Summit at Palihan” was conducted by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino using an undisclosed fund from the Department of Budget and Management and from Sen. Loren Legarda.

Victims...

from page 1 struck, an effort must be made to reach out to the victims to impress upon them what the Bible is saying that they must do in relation to these calamities.

-oooRAINS, FLOODS AND WINDS, IN THE BIBLE: What are some of the things the Bible is saying about rains, floods, and winds? In Matthew 7:2427, it is clear that Jesus, our God and Savior, gave a warning that rains, floods and winds, will surely come, and will cause death and destruction.

His advice: listen to His Word,

COMPUTER PROJECT APPRECIATED

By Caroline P. Padre-E, School Head Teacher -I Freedom Elementary School Cabanglasan, Bukidnon

A Computer Set worth Twenty Two Thousand Pesos ( 22,000 ) was acquired by the school out of rental amounting Two Thousand Pesos (2,000) per cropping for a period of five (5) years in the Income

Generating Project .

The PTA members and the pupils highly appreciated the said project for this is a very important need of the school to facilitate rush reports.

and obey His commands, and death and destruction will be avoided.

Here is Matthew 7:24-27: “…`Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

“But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash’….” This is very clear and is easily understandable. Jesus is saying, we must listen to Him and obey Him. -oooREAD, MEDITATE ON, AND OBEY, THE WORD OF JESUS: Now, what does “listening to the Word of Jesus” mean? It simply means reading the Bible, for His Word is recorded in the Bible. But then, simple reading would seem not to be enough. Another part of the Bible, which is Joshua 1:8, explains what one has to do with the Bible.

Joshua 1:8 says: “Do not forget to read the Book of the Law. Meditate on it day and night. Be careful to obey everything that is written in it.

Then you will become prosperous and victorious.”

One must take note that this would indicate that reading the Book of the Law, the Bible, has to be done every day. Then, there is a need to study and think about what one has read, day and night.

After reading and meditating on the Bible, one needs to carefully obey what one read and meditated on. When that is done, success and victory, prosperity and economic benefits will come. So, what are we waiting for?
