Sec. Andanar supports wife’s bid for Congress party-list seat SURIGAO CITY – Presidential Communications Secretary and Presidential Spokesperson Secretary Martin Andanar on Monday has announced his support for his wife’s bid for a seat in Congress through the Bisaya Gyud (BG) party-list. Alele Aguilar-Andanar is

vying for a seat as the first nominee of the Bisaya Byud (BG). The partylist’s main thrusts are in food security, education, shelter, and security concerns of the nation.. Aguilar-Andanar works as a full-time entrepreneur in Las Pinas City, while heading a foundation that

his father, former Las Piñas mayor Vergel “Nene” Aguilar, initiated. She is also supporting other affiliated non-government organizations, including the Philippine Cancer Society. “Saksi ako kung paano magmahal ng Bisaya si Alelee. Mula nang ikinasal

kami, nakatali na rin ang puso niya sa mga Bisaya,” Secretary Andanar said as he recalled the pioneer advocacy that his wife has organized for youth in Siargao Islands in early 2000s. The PCOO chief shared that Alelee’s persistence helped build mini-libraries

in barrios where there was little to no access to information and books for young Bisayans to learn from. “Dito ko nakita ang kanyang malasakit at pagmamahal sa mga kababayan nating Bisaya. Kaya nang magdesisyon siyang tumakbo, hindi

With its extensive renewable energy portfolio, AboitizPower makes it easier for endusers to switch to green energy options. In this photo is AboitizPower subsidiary Hedcor’s run-of-river hydropower plant located in Tuba, Benguet.

AboitizPower seals first Green Energy Option Program dea VITA Tropic Ice Company, Inc., an ice manufacturing company located in Malabon City, has recently switched to Advent Energy Inc., a retail business unit of AboitizPower, upon successful completion of the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) switching process. Vita Tropic is AboitizPower’s first GEOP customer and the partnership commenced on March 26, 2022. GEOP, a salient point of the Renewable Energy Act of 2008, is a voluntary policy mechanism that provides electricity end-users with an average peak demand of at least 100 kW for the past 12 months, the option to switch to renewable energy sources and choose their own renewable energy supplier. “As responsible citizens, we must ensure that in ev-

erything that we do, we do it with utmost regard to what effects it has on our environment, which is why we are very proud to be one of the first GEOP customers in the country today. We’re happy to be partners with AboitizPower, a leader in the Philippine power industry. Through concrete solutions that use the best practices, our partnership built on trust and shared values give us the power to create meaningful impacts to build a better world for a cleaner and more sustainable future,” said David Co, Vita Tropic Ice Company Inc., Business Development. AboitizPower has already received GEOP permits from the Department of Energy (DOE) for its retail companies, namely Advent Energy Inc., Aboitiz Energy

Solutions Inc. (AESI), and Prism Energy Inc. With the DOE-issued permit, these entities are authorized to enter into a supply contract with qualified GEOP customers. “We at AboitizPower fully support GEOP as we believe it’s a key driver of renewable energy growth in the Philippines. This gives more customers the option and opportunity to join the movement towards a sustainable energy transition. We’ve been looking forward to the implementation of GEOP and now that it’s finally happening, we’re confident that we have the ability and expertise to serve the needs of the GEOP market,” said Juan Alejandro Aboitiz, AboitizPower Senior Vice President for Commercial Operations.

Liberate Humanity from Unbridled Materialism

AN Oxfam Study has concluded “that humanity has been buried in unbridled consumerism and materialism as there is so much veneration to the profit motive that has already captured the mindset of all governments, all institutions, all universities and all religions while there is so much denigration of spirituality.” This is because the contemporaneous development paradigm called neo-liberal capitalism also known as corporate globalization has been anchored on the “money-must-grow principle,” and “growth-atall-cost development strategy,” that has sacrificed the people and the environment to the altar of greed and profit under the regime of one percent as the wealth of one percent is greater than the combined assets of the ninety-nine percent of the world’s population. In fact, the combined wealth of eight richest families in the world equal the combined assets of 3.6 billion people. Such gross inequities have been justified by the rich and powerful as the offshoot of the principle of

the “survival-of-the-fittest.” They are stronger, more powerful, more aggressive -thus, they have more, more, more wealth, more money, more power. But the survival-of-the-fittest principle works only in a jungle-like existence where a stronger lion eats a cornered prey but not in a civilized society. Let notice be served to one and all that each one of us will be judged not on wealth, fame or power but on how we have served the “least of our brethren.” Development that is based on individual pursuit for self- aggrandizement and wealth, where money is used not to enhance life and the well-being of the people but to make more money is not anymore economically viable and ecologically sustainable. That kind of development (which is really mal-development) makes a few elites have much too much and the many who are poor much too little. In this country, you call that block capitalism where cartels and the oligarchs run the country, owned by only 50 families. To perpetuate their economic control,

Orlan R. Ravanera

they must have a hold to political power including that of the media and continuing financial support to the churches. Look at Mindanao, so rich yet so poor where 70% of the land (the choicest) is under the control of big agri-business corporations (based on a study by the Development Academy of the Philippines). Where are the farmers, the so-called backbone of the nation? They are tilling lands not their own, of if they do, they are tied-up to mode of production and marketing that they have no control. They are in marginalized areas, in slopes where their carabaos will roll-over downhill even with a little push. Our country has also become a dumping ground of finished products and source of cheap raw materials which are processed abroad then sold back to us at a high price. What a tragedy knowing that a country that is consuming what it is not producing will always be poor. The highly iniquitous See HUMANITY, page 15

Hints and Traces

The constant danger of treachery

“RECLINING at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.’” (Jn 13,21) SO begins the gospel for Tuesday of Holy Week. With these words, we have to be wary of the constant danger of treachery. That possibility is always around. If it happened to Christ, it can happen to us anytime. In fact, we can be our own traitors. We can also be traitors to others. The others can also turn us in. That’s just how it is. It’s not to be cynical about our human condition here on earth that is prone to this danger. Rather, we just have to be realistic, and do the necessary things we need to avoid treachery, whether self-inflicted or inflicted by others. Let’s always remember that our human condition here on earth where we are always engaged in the constant battle between good and evil, between grace and our weaknesses and temptations around, can always make this possibility of betrayal and treachery to happen. We should keep this fact of life in mind always. When we are not true to our word and to our commitments, renewing and

strengthening our fidelity to them from time to time, or when we do not correct our mistakes and sins as soon as we can, or when we are not sincere and transparent, we would actually be giving an opening for such possibility to happen. If we are not careful, the slide to betrayal can come quietly and surely. We have to be most guarded against this possibility and try to nip in the bud whatever slight traces of its symptoms come to our awareness. This is also true in our duty to take care of others who can also succumb to such possibility. Once we notice the symptoms in others, we should already start thinking, praying and devising some strategy to help them. In this regard, we can never overemphasize the need to be constantly vigilant in our responsibility over our own spiritual lives and those of the others. When we notice the onset of complacency and spiritual lukewarmness whose signs can easily be detected, we should already be amply warned and start to do something about it. When we notice certain inconsistencies between the expressed intentions and words, on one hand,

Roy Cimagala

and deeds, on the other, we should already consider them as ample warnings. Truth is all of us have the duty to take care of everyone else, especially those who are close to us. And one concrete way to carry out this duty is to consciously bring to our prayer each person with whom we have some special or close relations, or with whom some commitments are involved. This is not, of course, a matter of spying, but rather an expression of genuine love and concern for the others. We should never be indifferent to anyone. Once we notice some symptoms of what we may refer to as the Judas Iscariot syndrome, we have to start to do something, praying first, asking God for some light and guidance, and coming up with some action plan. Usually, what is just needed is to shower the person concerned with more affection and understanding, giving him always good example. In other words, to drown him with a lot of goodness with the view of leading him to a conversion!

More equipment, more infra and disaster mitigating projects for Davao de Oro ANOTHER set of heavy duty infrastructure equipment was recently acquired by the Provincial Government of Davao de Oro in a blessing and turn-over ceremony held on April 11, 2022.

These newly acquired equipment can also be used when the

need arise especially on disaster response in times of calamities. Governor Tyron Uy graced the blessing and turn-over ceremony, together with Provincial Engineering’s Department Head Engr. Roderick Digamon, Asst. Provincial Administrator Raul Villocino, and employees of the provincial capitol. A total of six (6) units Dump Trucks were officially acquired by the provincial government following the turn over of other twenty (20) heavy duty equipment last January this year.

PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. ( S m ar t ) , i n p ar t n e rship with the provincial government of Misamis Oriental, recently donated 1,000 SmartBro LTE pocket WiFI devices to Misamisnon scholars.

The Smart Bro pocket wifi devices will allow the Misamisnon scholars to connect to the nationwide Smart LTE network. Smart LTE is present across all cities and municipalities of Misamis Oriental, while Smart 5G is present in its capital city Cagayan de Oro, as well as in the towns of Balingasag, Claveria, Gitagum, Jasaan, Laguindingan, Manticao, Medina, Naawan, Opol, Salay, Tagoloan and Villanueva. 21-year-old education student Jessa Jane Madronero struggles a lot with online learning because of the need for connectivity. “I am so happy for the connectivity support from Smart and the Misamis Oriental LGU. The WiFi device and load subsidy

will be a huge help for my studies,” she said. “It is our honor to be working with the local government to ensure that no learner should be left behind. As we continue our network expansion, we aim to deliver faster and better connectivity to help more students amidst the new normal of education,” said Smart’s

Customer Development Senior Manager Bernardo Deatras. Governor Yevgeny Vincente “Bambi” Emano expressed his profound gratitude to Smart for the partnership. “Technology is crucial nowadays. We, the people of Misamis Oriental, especially our scholars, are very thankful to Smart for the WiFi

No irregularities in gov’t spending: Palace By RUTH ABBEY GITA-CARLOS

MANILA – There is nothing irregular with the government spending, Malacañang said Thursday. Echoing President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent statement, acting Presidential Spokesperson and Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said public funds are being utilized properly. “What is important, the Chief Executive underscored, is there are no irregularities in government spending,” Andanar said in a press statement. Andanar made the remarks in response to presidential aspirant Senator Panfilo Lacson’s statement that it is “embarrassing” for a country’s leader to let his successor deal with the trillions of pesos in debt. On Wednesday, Lacson said it would be a shame to know that the next administration would carry the burden of paying the country’s debt rather than inherit a “better Philippines”. Andanar shrugged off Lacson’s statement as merely “part of election campaign rhetoric”. “Senator Panfilo Lacson’s remarks on the Philippines’ outstanding debt is part of election campaign rhetoric,” he said. Andanar added that Duterte had already ex-

plained why the country has to borrow money. “Be that as it may, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has already addressed this issue saying that there is a need for government borrowing to finance the administration’s programs and projects,” he said. The country’s outstanding debt grew to PHP12.09 trillion, as of end-February, according to the data released by the Bureau of Treasury (BTr). The BTr said the country’s debt pile as of endFebruary was 0.5 percent or PHP63.83 billion higher than the PHP12.029 bil-

lion registered as of endJanuary. The surge in the Philippines’ debt, the BTr said, was due to “currency fluctuations and net financing from both local and external sources.” Around 69.6 percent or PHP8.41 trillion of the country’s PHP12.09-trillion debt were domestic borrowings, while the remaining 30.4 percent of PHP3.68 trillion were sourced externally. On March 31, Duterte said it is “not bad to borrow,” as long as the money is not used for corrupt activities. (PNA) Presidential Spokesperson and Communications Secretary Martin Andanar

Davao City BPO workers welcome booster rollout in offices By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY – Employees of the business process outsourcing (BPO) companies here have lauded the city government’s initiative to bring the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccine booster rollout to their offices. The initiative forms part of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force’s goal to intensify the vaccine booster rollout, in partnership with the private sector in the city. “As a call center agent who works on the graveyard shift, I saw how quickly the virus spreads because most of us have low im-

mune systems,” call center worker Joe Perjes said in an interview Tuesday. Perjes, a worker in one of the BPO companies here said he strongly agrees with the city government initiative because of its good effect in controlling and reducing the number of infected persons. However, Perjes said that while the drive aims to ensure everyone’s safety, he expressed hope it will not be made compulsory. Peter Paul Mulit, another BPO worker, said bringing the vaccines inside their workplace promotes safety and health in the industry.

“It is advantageous on our part because we will no longer go to the vaccination sites, and we can avoid gatherings,” he said. For Venus Aileen Jordan, a mandatory vaccination would be acceptable for everyone’s safety, even if she had experienced adverse effects during her first and second doses. “Honestly, I really had hesitations because of what I experienced before. But if it helps increase the booster vaccination rate, then this would further protect people from the threat of the virus,” Jordan said. Moreover, Dr. Michelle

Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, assured they will respect the inputs gathered from the BPO sector on the ways to protect their employees from the virus. “The BPOs will provide a master list of their employees’ vaccination status to the

Davao City Covid-19 Task Force, then we will conduct a mobile vaccination in BPO offices,” she added. As of April 8, only 18.3 percent of the 1,301,119 fully vaccinated Dabawenyos have received their booster shots, the task force said. (PNA)

BUTUAN CITY – Caraga Region’s top officials underscored the significance of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTFELCAC), saying the antiinsurgency body’s programs and services have made a positive impact on peace and development. In separate statements Wednesday, Agusan del Norte Gov. Dale Corvera and Surigao del Sur Gov.

GSIS launches 2022 art tilt

GSIS launched on March 11 its 2022 National Art Competition. Now in its 17th year, the GSIS art contest is regarded as one of the country’s biggest and most awaited visual art competitions. The competition is open to all Filipino artists who are at least 18 years of age (as of May 2, 2022). Interested artists may submit one entry in each of the following categories: representational; nonrepresentational (or abstract), and outdoor or freestanding sculpture. To promote renewed hope and the resilience of Filipinos in the “new normal,” the theme this year for the representational category is Pagsulong at Pag-asa sa Bagong Normal. For the other two categories, the theme is open to avoid restricting the artistry and imagination of

participating artists. Entries must be dated not earlier than 2022 and must be original works of participating artists. In addition, they must not have been exhibited before, revised, or awarded a prize in previous competitions. Submission period is from May 2 to 7, 2022 from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. only. Cash prizes await the winners. The first prize winners in all categories will receive P300,000 while the second and third prize winners will receive P200,000 and P100,000, respectively. There will be four honorable mentions in each category who will receive P25,000 each. All prizes are subject to 20% tax. Last year, GSIS received a record number of submissions at 1,451 art entries. The winning artworks will be part of the GSIS art

collection and displayed in the GSIS Museo ng Sining in Pasay City. The officers of the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP) - the umbrella organization of art groups in the country and GSIS’s long-time partner in the conduct of the art tilt - and other individual artists who are officially assisting in the contest are not allowed to join the competition.

development paradigm can be likened to the workings of an auto-immune disease syndrome (AIDS), there no less than the body’s defense mechanisms are attacking vital organs. In the absence of a major change, the global system will collapse in less than one hundred years. The unimaginable is becoming imaginable: the end of life on earth. Why is this so? Glaring is unsustainability in ecology manifested by climate change, melting of the iceberg (one thousand hectares of the 386-meter high iceberg in the Arctic and Antarctic melting every day), It is scientifically established that for every one degree Celsius increase in global temperature, there will be a corresponding ten percent reduction in food production. As climate change intensifies, insects’ bites will become fatal and can reach up to higher altitude. It is predicted that there will be at least one billion global refugees in the next 100 years. In the Philippines, 15 years from now, there will be some 35 million homeless Filipinos as it is scientifically established that in the next 15 years, the sea level will increase by 16 meters high (the height of 3-storey building) and the 7,100 islands will just be reduced to 300 islands. The second bitter reality is the unsustainability in the economy as only a few elites are in control of the resources. Who decides? Who controls? Who benefits? These oligarchs are using “trickle-down” approach to the masses as an alibi. No Sir! No such thing. In so-called trickle-down approach, we just allow all those which have already passed the digestive system of cattle to be eaten by the poor. Today, as election day is fast approaching, let the Filipino people decide to elect those who will not follow elitist rule but to effect a paradigm shift from unsustainability to sustainability. Money should not be used to make more money but to improve the quality of life of the people. Enough is enough of economic development that benefits only a few. No less than a national leader of Myanmar by the name of Aung San Suu Kye, leader of the national league for democracy who had been imprisoned as a freedom fighter, had stressed the truism in her speech that “human development must now be the focus and not consumerism and materialism.” Yes, HIGHT SA LAHAT, TAO. Let us now be awakened to liberate humanity, especially the Filipino people from the quagmire of so much unbridled materialism and consumerism and to bring back spirituality amidst morale collapse and religious apathy. Let the biblical line reverberate:

“What would profit a man if he gains the whole world but suffers the loss of his soul.” Indeed, each one of us is consciousness (spirit) prior to becoming a form (body) and that consciousness should be connected to the Unseen Being, the Ocean of Consciousness to be well-rooted with the Being who is Eternal. Feel that Consciousness Presence. Can you not feel that?

na ako nagdalawang isip na suportahan si Alelee,” he said. “Tiwala ako na ang kanyang pagmamahal sa Bisaya ay tutumbasan niya ng de kalidad na paglilingkod sa bayan. Naniniwala ako na may sapat siyang kakayahan at karanasan para iangat ang buhay ng mga Bisaya at disadvantaged sectors sa ating bansa,” he added. Secretary Andanar is likewise urging the voting population, especially those coming from the Visayas and Mindanao regions, to support Alelee and the BG Party-list this coming May 9. “Suportahan po natin si Alelee. Hindi po masasayang ang boto nating mga Bisaya dahil siya ay may pusong Bisaya na kumakalinga sa lahat, higit pa sa isang Bisaya,” he said. It can be recalled that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and Senator Christopher “Bong” Go also expressed their support for the group. This was the only party-list to which the chief executive has openly given his support.

to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC) in Butuan City. Duterte issued the statement, as he reiterated that there are party-list groups that are conniving with the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). “Itong party-lists, unahin ko lang (These party-lists) paved the way for the communists,” he said. “Komunista ‘yan – entered sa backdoor, sa portals of government (They are communists who entered the backdoor, the portals aof government), then to win a few seats there. And ‘pag nandiyan na sila, walang ginawa ‘yan (while in public office, they do nothing) except to criticize government.” Duterte earlier revealed that the communist move-

Thu-Sat, April 14-16, 2022 ment had been able to infiltrate various political parties. In his previous speeches, Duterte also repeated his warning to Filipino voters against the Kabataan, Anakpawis, Bayan Muna, Alliance of Concerned Teachers, and Gabriela party-list groups, or the so-called “KABAG” serving as legal fronts of the CPP. Malacañang earlier said Duterte’s claim against the KABAG party-lists was based on an intelligence report. Duterte, during the joint NTF-RTF ELCAC meeting, said the communist group has “no valid reason” to sow hatred against the government. He said he is still not keen to endorse a presidential candidate, unless he sees a “compelling reason” to do so. Duterte raised the possibility that the supposed coalition between the 2022 election hopefuls and the CPP might compel him to support a presidential aspirant. “‘Yung iba, nakapasok na rin ang mga komunista (The communists have already infiltrated [the government]). Sabi ko noon (I said before) I will not support any presidential candidate. But if there is a compelling reason to campaign or to endorse a particular candidate kasi ayaw ko ‘yung — not because of personal, wala ‘yung mga ano except that ayaw ko yung mga komunista maghalo sa kanila ngayon (because I don’t want the communists to infiltrate the government),” he said. Duterte also vowed to use his remaining days in office to address the insurgency problems to bring peace and development to the country. “The three remaining months of my administration are very crucial as we continue to address the country’s problems that have long been affecting the lives of our citizens. The completion of my commitments towards achieving peace, progress, and prosperity remains critical as my term comes to a close,” he said. Duterte lauded the relentless efforts of the NTF and RTF ELCAC to pursue a holistic and whole-of-nation approach to resolving communist insurgency. “Accessibility to reform and welfare programs is imperative – it should be our imperative – to help end the decades-long in-

surgency problem that has curtailed development in the countryside,” he said. Duterte likewise renewed his call on the local government units to synergize their efforts to make the Philippines a “stronger and more peaceful nation.” The CPP-New People’s Army (NPA) is listed as a terrorist group by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. The Anti-Terrorism Council also formally designated CPP-NPA’s political wing, National Democratic Front, as a terrorist organization on June 23, 2021, citing it as “an integral and inseparable part” of the CPP-NPA that was created in April 1973.
