Z A M B OA N G A City––The Philippine military has declared an 18-day unilateral Christm a s tr u c e d ays barely two weeks after communist rebels imposed a 29-day cease-fire in Mindanao to give way to unhampered relief operations to victims of typhoon Bopha that devastated the southern region.

Healthcheck opens new location in Oro

Celebrating its third year of operations in Cagayan de Oro, HealthCheck Clinic and Diagnostic Center moves up to a new location with the inauguration of its new building in A. Velez Street in Cagayan de Oro City. The new site is across the Pelaez Sports Complex and hosts a two-storey clinic, laboratory and diagnostic services to cater to HealthCheck Clinic and Diagnostic Center’s growing clientele. Inaugurated last November 28, 2012, the blessing ceremony was presided by Fr. Steve Olario. Cutting the opening ribbon was Mr. Jeffrey Ang representing Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Also in attendance was Ms. Josette Mercedes Balaba – Cellona, the Clinic Manager. The new HealthCheck Clinic and Diagnostic Clinic is equipped with Medical Consultation (Internal Medicine, ENT, OB-Gyne, Pediatrics, Dental [new!], Medical Acupuncture/Pain Track Management, General Practice, Nutrition/Dietetics and Occupational Medicine), laboratory, ultrasound, ECG, vaccines, pre-employment/annual physical examination (with mobile van) and audiometry examination[new!].

Military spokesman Lt. Col. Arnulfo Burgos, Jr. said the truce began on December 16 and would last until January 3 next year. He said the truce would give them ample time to focus their operations to aiding victims of typhoon Bopha in Mindanao, particularly in Compostela Valley province and Davao region. “The 18-day unilateral ceasefire is a privilege given to rebels but it does not restrict the military from doing its security routines, excluding the conduct of deliberate military offensive, such as combat operation,” he said. Lt. Col. Lyndon Paniza, a spokesman for 10th Infantry Division in Mindanao, said troops would abide by the truce, but will continue to conduct security measures to ensure safety and security of civilians. “Our mandate to protect civilian communities

XU, MUST receive Pinoy project processing equipment By Jasper Marie Oblina-Rucat of Philippine Information Agency

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Xavier University (XU) and Mindanao University Science and Technology (MUST) signed on December 18 a memorandum of agreement (MOA) as recipients to the technology transfer of processing equipment of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) Package for the Improvement of Nutrition of Young Children (Pinoy) project here. The target is zero malnutrition by 2015 said Dr. Mario V. Capanzana, director of FNRI-DOST. Such project and technology transfer is our response to malnutrition problem throughout

the country. If we double the efforts, we meet the target, he said. The project is a 120-feeding day program to identified 6-35 months underweight children. These select kids will be fed with complementary food blends and snack foods produced by this technology which include Rice-Mongo Instant Blend, Rice-Mongo-sesameblend (ready to cook), and Rice-Mongo Curls. These are complementary foods rich in energy and protein suitable for babies and snacks appropriate for toddlers. Other provinces who were endowed with the program have already gained positive results specifically

the provinces of Antique, Occidental Mindoro, Leyte, and Iloilo. There will also be nutrition education for mothers and caregivers using DOST Pinoy modules. Locally, said project will enable the two recipient institutions to produce FNRIdeveloped complementary food blends and snack foods and cater especially to malnourished children in relocation sites where Sendong survivors are now living. As one of the signatories and one who helped push this project, Cong. Rufus Rodriquez of Cagayan de Oro, acknowledged partners of this endeavor specifically the two universities and DOST-FNRI. project | page 10

CAMP Osito Bahian, Malaybalay City – The City Social Welfare and Development Office of Malaybalay and the 403rd Infantry (Peacemaker) Brigade of the Philippine Army have jointly conducted a skills training on powder and dishwashing soap-making, December 13. Participated in by 164 members of the women’s organization of Barangays Patpat and Dalwangan, the training was facilitated by the Army’s peace and develop-

ment teams, which are not only tasked with territorial defence and security of the nation, but also to help unite and work hand-in-hand with the stakeholders, local executives and heads of agencies to solve the root causes of insurgency. Witnessing the opening ceremonies were Barangay Chairs Ruben Meliston of Pat-Pat and Rolando Linoay of Dalwangan, with their barangay councilors and other officials, CSWD Officer

Maria Lourdes Achacoso of Malaybalay, Capt. Mario Goc-ong and Capt. Allan Peñaflor both of the 403rd Brigade. According to Col. James V. Jacob, 403IB commander, “the project has been realized through the joint effort of LGU and the Army, particularly the 403rd Brigade, satisfying the expectations of the people that government is really working hand in pursuit of peace and development”. (EIMJR/asf

The units are evaluated according to effectiveness of local agenda and legislative tracking system, availability of legislative documents, efficiency of performance, and quality of office set-up as well as staff complement.

“On October 15, 2012 – I had my training on radio broadcasting at BWM Media Center, under Mr. Joe del Puerto Felicilda. It greatly enhanced my skills , as a campus broadcaster. There, I learned the art of interviewing (being the most effective way of news data gathering) and the proper way of news scriptwriting for broadcast. Me and my fellow campus broadcasters were also taught that a journalist should have the ‘nose for news’, resourceful, creative, reliable, neutral and must always keep the stream of information flowing. I also knew the different kinds of news events, such as accidents, conflicts, gatherings, sports, government projects, people, government actions, amusements, among others.” - Lendy Hazelle Ruth Lugatiman, Regional Science High School, Gusa, Cagayan de Oro City

S. Cotabato government throws Christmas party for the elderly By Annaliz Cabrido

KORONACAL CITY - The provincial government of South Cotabato continues to share its blessings, this time to at least 300 senior citizens, in a Christmas party spearheaded by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO), December 14. The “Senior’s Day” is one of the week-long Christmas treats focusing on giving the

elderly free medical check-up, haircut, lunch and gift-giving. The activity was led by Provincial Administrator Hilario de Pedro III and Provincial Legal Officer Romeo Sucaldito, who are themselves members of the local Senior Citizens Club. The beneficiaries were grateful to the provincial government for giving time

in beautifying themselves. The provincial governor said “our senior citizens’ Christmas event demonstrates great community spirit. We are very keen to give back to the community by inviting people, who may not have the chance to get out as much as they would like to, especially this season of giving.” (AC/asf)

Think a minute. Former Prime Minister of England, Winston Churchill, became so famous for his speeches that he’s been called the greatest speaker of the century. He was also famous for his quick wit. Yet amazingly, he was not a naturally talented speaker. In fact, earlier in Churchill’s life he had such a bad speech problem that people made fun of the way he talked. D o you k now how Churchill changed to become the greatest speaker of the 20th century? He studied and wrote his speeches word-for-word on paper, and then he practiced them countless hours in front of a mirror. He worked at

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst saying each word just the right way with just the right facial expressions. He also practiced pausing and pretending to struggle to find the right word, even though he knew exactly what he was going to say! So although Winston Churchill was not a naturally good speaker, he disciplined himself and worked hard to become a great one! You and I can never suc-

ceed in life without discipline and hard work. It takes sweat to succeed in our job and career, in school, in sports, in our marriage and family. Even if you’re born into a rich family, or with an intelligent mind and strong body, you still have to work hard to reach your full potential and truly succeed. Most importantly, it takes work and discipline

BWM MAG to develop the character we were born to have and enjoy. We must discipline and change our wrong attitudes, thinking, and way of living everyday. It’s not natural or easy for us to quickly forgive someone who hurts us or our family. It’s not natural or easy to always be honest no matter how much we can get away with or how much it costs us. But you can start by asking Jesus Christ to forgive you for living your own way; and then ask Him to take full charge of your heart and character. It’s only with Jesus’ character and power in you that you can start changing to become the best person you can be. Just Think a Minute.

The ‘end of the world’ prophecy

THERE are elective public servants whose works and accomplishments remained publicly unknown. Their names do not hog the limelight. However, these backstage workers are unknown heroes who have contributed much in public service. Despite their accomplishments, they prefer to be on the sidelines. Certainly, their names ring in the ears. At City Hall, the name of City Cris Diaz Councilor Pepe Abbu is seldom mentioned. Abbu is a veteran legislator. As the most senior member of the city council, Abbu served three illustrious city executives from the time of City Mayor Nene Pimentel in 1980 to Mayor Pablo Magtajas in 1988 to 1995 and the incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano. In 2010, after hibernating for 15 years, ‘Pepe’ Abbu became a member of the city council when he made a comeback once more. This time, Abbu ran under the Padayon Pilipino ticket of incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano. As head of the Committee on Landed Estate and Subdivisions, records in the city council would show that Pepe Abbu has authored the most approved number of city ordinances into local laws. Abbu’s exploits at the city council is beyond question. It is his unblemished public service records (he was a former patrol officer before he joined politics in 1980), that endeared him to local electorates. Undoubtedly, Pepe Abbu is a gem that the Cagayanons is proud. It is also worthy to mention the name of City Coun-

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment…” (Isaiah 50:11, the Holy Bible). -oooENRILE OUT, DRILON IN: So, if there is still any doubt that Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile is on the way out of the leadership of the upper chamber of Congress, the photograph showing President Aquino signing the 2013 P2 trillion budget last December 19, 2012, Wednesday, without Enrile, should confirm his ouster, the claims to the contrary of Malacanang

cil Simeon Licayan. Here is another workaholic public servant who spent his entire life in civil service. Licayan also walked along side all city mayors in Cagayan de Oro as a janitor. He worked hard and studied at night while serving as a utility worker at city hall. Licayan rose from the rank serving as the city council’s secretary when he retired sometime in 2004. The incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano then knew that Licayan has still more under his sleeve. Emano drafted Licayan as one of Padayon Pilipino bets for the city council in the 2004 local elections. When it was time to retire and enjoy the fruits of his labors, Licayan opted to accept the challenge. Licayan then served as city councilor three consecutive terms. He is now serving his last term. The Cagayanons would surely miss his departure to public service. In far away Mambatangan, a farming village on the borders of Cagayan de Oro and Manolo Fortich in Bukidon, another elected official has been working to alleviate the plight of his constituents. Punong Barangay Joseph Tilap has changed the image of accident-prone Mambatangan highway into a safer passage for motorists. With well-lighted streetlights, pedestrians and commuters now heaved a sigh of relief as they travel along Mambatangan highway. Tilap has also introduced some infrastructure projects in his barangay that threatened his political rival’s chances in future barangay elections. Abbu, Licayan, and Tilap are rare species worthy to emulate. These public servants worked hard sans fanfare for the welfare of the people. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

Enrile out, Drilon in Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio notwithstanding. Traditionally, regardless of his or her differences with the Chief Executive, the Senate President is included in the photo opportunity where the President is shown signing the budget into law. Malacanang usually makes an effort to invite the Senate President despite its differences with him or her, for the budget, after all, is a product of the Senate as well. I was told Enrile was not even invited for the

signing. My estimate is that when Senators resume their sessions next January, Enrile will be voted out of the presidency. Sen. Frank Drilon, who was photographed laughing at the President’s left last Wednesday’s signing of the budget, is likely to become the next Senate President. Not only has he been Senate president in the past, but Drilon is a staunch ally of Aquino at this point, and is even a

pillar of Liberal Party, the President’s party. -oooCEBU GOV. GARCIA MUST OBEY SUSPENSION FIRST: Somebody should tell Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia to obey first the suspension order which Malacanang issued against her and which Secretary Mar Roxas of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) implemented, if she wants to question it before a higher court. It is not legally appropriate for her to be invoking the aid of the courts to redress her grievances if she is defiant of duly constituted authorities. This is known as “coming to court with clean hands”. -ooo774 KILLED IN MASS ENRILE | page 10

NGO sounds urgent call to PNoy government to mobilize resources in Pablo-devastated areas

By BONG D. FABE

CAGAYAN de Oro City––A peace and development nongovernment organization which was among the first to conduct relief operations in Davao Oriental its devastation by Typhoon Pablo is urgently urging the national government to mobilize its resources to help in the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery of the province. “The massive devastation requires immediate well-coordinated response from government (particularly the National Government) and all sectors. While there has been tremendous outpouring of goodwill and

generosity, much is still desired more than two weeks after the disaster,” Charlito “Kaloy” Manlupig, BMFI founder and chairman of the Board, said in an open letter “Urgent Call to the National Government.” Manlupig urgently urged the “(1) national government, especially the DPWH, AFP Engineering, etc. to immediately mobilize all available resources particularly heavy equipment to supplement the equipment already on the ground; (2) the neigboring local government units to send their equipment, facilities and human resources to help in the clearing and cleaning up operations;

and (3) the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to immediately send teams to monitor and control the prices of basic commodities especially fuel prices that have increased more than 100%.” He explained that these needs have been observed by BMFI volunteers in the area. Volunteers of the Dis aster R esp ons e, R isk Reduction Management and Resiliency Building (DRRRMRB) program of BMFI, a small Mindanaobased NGO, have been in the Pablo-devastated areas of Davao Oriental since December 6 — two days after Pablo unleashed its wrath

MURDERS IN US: USA Today, a leading American newspaper, reported in its December 19, 2012 issue that between 2006 to 2010, there were 156 murders in the US that met the Federal Bureau of Investigation definition of mass killings, in which four or more people are killed by the attacker. Some 774 people were killed in these attacks, USA Today said, including some 161 young children aged 12 or younger. The same report showed that mass killers target Americans once every two weeks on average. Wow! -oooCONGRATS, MS. TUGONON: Congratulations to 2012 Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon, who was crowned first runner up in Thursday’s Ms. Universe Beauty Pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It was an achievement that highlights once more the beauty of Filipino women, and their natural intelligence. However, I believe that we should start training Filipinos to answer questions more directly, to avoid misunderstanding on what they really mean, and to impress upon the public that we properly understood what is being asked. -ooo“D O NOT BE UNFAITHFUL”: Here is another food for thought on divorce: “Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. You ask, `Why?’ It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. “You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. “ `The man who hates and divorces his wife,’ says the Lord, the God of Israel, `does violence to the one he should protect,’ says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.” This is taken from Malachi 2:13-16 of the Holy Bible. -oooREACTIONS? Please call me at 0917 984 24 68, 0918 574 0193, 0922 833 43 96.

Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong) on the night of December 16, 2011. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA) said in its situation report dated 18 December 2012 that Pablo has left over 1,040 dead and 841 missing. But more than that, Pablo’s wrath affected 6.2 million people all over the Philippines. “About 26,000 people remain in 63 evacuation centres while 960,000 people are outside of the centres in the ruins of their homes, open areas, or living with host communities,” it said. UN-OCHA said up to this time, “one road and 10 bridges remain impassable” while “power and telecommunications are still down in the worst-hit municipalities of Cateel, Baganga and Boston in Davao Oriental and New Bataan and Maragusan in Compostela Valley.” Cluster coordination not yet operational But despite the dire need, UN-OCHA has not yet operationalized its cluster system or cluster coordination in the municipal or provincial level in the devastated areas. Cluster coordination has been adopted by UN-OCHA following the UN General Assembly issued Resolution 46/182 in December 1991.

Building on the resolution, The Humanitarian Reform of 2005 introduced new elements to improve capacity, predictability, accountability, leadership and partnership, with cluster approach as its most visible aspect. “Clusters are groups of humanitarian organizations (UN and non-UN) working in the main sectors of humanitarian action, e.g. shelter and health. They are created when clear humanitarian needs exist within a sector, when there are numerous actors within sectors and when national authorities need coordination support. Clusters provide a clear point of contact and are accountable for adequate and appropriate humanitarian assistance. Clusters create partnerships between international humanitarian actors, national and local authorities, and civil society,” UN-OCHA said in its website. And coordination is vital in emergencies since good coordination “means less gaps and overlaps in humanitarian organizations’ work. It strives for a needs-based, rather than capacity-driven, response. It aims to ensure a coherent and complementary approach, identifying ways to work together for better collective results.” (Bong D. Fabe)

sealing off of police firearms. ”The ceremonial sealing off of our service firearms is a compliance with a directive from Camp Crame to avoid firing our guns indiscriminately during the Christmas and New Year celebrations,” Soriano said. Soriano is leading the activity in place of Caraga Philippine National PNP Regional Director CSupt. Carmelo Valmoria, who was in Camp Crame attending the turnover of the new Chief PNP. Soriano said that violation to the directive from Crame may be meted with a dismissal from police service, “especially when it will hit somebody.” The official warned that the velocity of a bullet fired upwards has the same velocity going down which will mean it will still be potentially fatal. Soriano, however, that the police force in the region would remain vigilant, ready and capable of responding

to any eventuality which may tend to disturb the peacefulness of the region. He said that these measures will not hamper them in any way to affect their normal functions as law enforcers. “We just want to assure everyone here in the region a safe and peaceful Christmas and New Year,” Soriano said.

Makikita mo talaga from his words and from his demeanor and his emotions that he really loves this country and to me, it was such an honor that I was able to talk to him,” Donaire said. He added that the President also offered him advice particularly on his boxing career. “Binigyan niya ako ng pointers as to- there is a beginning and there is an ending- and that when that time comes for me, especially in boxing, I should do (and decide) things the right way,” Donaire said.

Santiago wants sports complex for every province By Jelly Musico

IN an effort to develop world-class talents, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago has filed a bill seeking to establish a provincial sports complex in every province in far flung areas and to create a culture of love for sport. “A sports complex with the proper facilities can inspire and attract more of the general public to engage in sports,” Santiago explained in her Senate Bill 3372. Santiago said it is important for the Philippine Sports Commission to tap talents and prepare them for world-class competitions including the prestigious Olympic Games where the country has yet to win gold medal, only two silvers and seven bronzes in 20 attempts. “The performance in the Olympic Games is considered as the best measure of the athletic skill of a nation,” the lady lawmaker said. Though the countr y placed second in the 1954 and 1958 Asian Games, the Philippines skidded its performance and registered its worst finish, 19th place, in 2010 edition. Under Santiago’s proposal, the PSC, in coordination with the governor of every province, shall construct sports complex within 10 years if there is no existing sports facility in the province. “With the manner sports programs are facilitated in the country, those who are well-off are the ones who have access to better instruction, training, and facilities,” she said.
