Comelec must set rules on pre-campaign period activities: DILG By CHRISTOPHER LLOYD CALIWAN

MANILA – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) must issue guidelines on the activities for candidates before the start of the campaign period in February next year, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año said Thursday night. Año’s remarks came after presidential aspirant, former senator Ferdinand “Bong-

bong” Marcos Jr., and his running mate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte held a caravan along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City on Wednesday. Aside from causing traffic congestion, health protocols such as physical distancing were not observed as the caravan drew a huge crowd. “We’re asking the Comelec to say what are the political activities that are allowed

and not allowed. We hope it will be definite because there might be similar incidents in the future,” Año said in a message. He said the issue would also have to be discussed by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) to prevent similar “super spreader” events. “We will discuss this with the IATF, with the (PNA file photo by Joey Razon)

Comelec because the start of the campaign period is still in February, it’s a long way to go. We should be thankful that the Omicron (variant of Covid-19) is not yet here and our numbers (on Covid-19 infections) are good,” Año said. Año said what Philippine National Police (PNP) and local government units can merely do is to implement minimum public health See RULES, page 19

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Each of the 2,346 city government workers here will receive a bonus of PHP25,000 collective negotiation agreement (CNA) incentive on top of their 13th-month pay and Christmas bonus this month. Geraldine Dela Paz, city budget officer, said Thursday those entitled to receive the CNA incentive are the regular employees, department heads, city councilors, casuals, and contractual employees. On the other hand, the city government front-liners will also receive hazard pay. The front-liners include medical and health professionals as well as guards, traffic aides, garbage collectors, and drivers, among others. However, she said an employee must have been working for four months with the city government to be entitled to receive the CNA incentive. On Tuesday, the city council has approved during its regular session the PHP500-million 2021 second supplemental budget that includes the allocation of over PHP119 million for CNA incentive and hazard pay. Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Rommel Agan said the PHP58.6 million of the PHP119 million is for the

Vaccine industry on alert, ready to respond to Omicron Possible COVID-19 Vaccine changes, medical innovation key to counter new variant. THE vaccine industry is alert and ready to respond to the Omicron variant of COVID-19 should it enter the country. Along with the Philippine medical community, it reiterates that the public can still receive ample protection from it through current and future anti-variant countermeasures like rapid changes in the COVID-19 vaccines, a faster vaccination campaign, and the strict observance of health protocols like social distancing. Enrique Gonzalez, Founder, and Chairman of IP-Biotech (IPB), says that the vaccine providers will be exercising agility to continually respond to the Omicron variant as it evolves. He assures the public that “the world’s vaccine industry is ready to respond with specific Omicron booster shots by making changes to the existing vaccines if the need arises. The production infrastructure is in place, and ramping up for next generations can be a rapid process.” IPB is the leading vaccine service provider and the local Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) holder of Coronavac’s SINOVAC COVID-19 vaccine which has provided 50% of all

COVID-19 vaccines in the Philippines in 2021. Omicron anxieties Omicron has struck fear in a global population that is eager and anxious to go back to normal due to its speed of transmission, the large number of mutations it triggers, and the aura of deadly mystery surrounding it. Enrique gives the overview: “The best of nature, adaptation, has been put in our worst enemy, the virus. The level of mutation in Omicron, which right now exhibits an unprecedented number of mutations, shows a trend in terms of the evolutionary path of COVID-19 virus.” Dr. Noel Miranda, IP Biotech’s Science Adviser, also confirms the need for vaccine providers to continually study and countercheck Omicron because “it’s unexpected emergence warns the world that the occurrence of a worst-case mutation should be an ongoing concern.” A study by South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) says that Omicron may be more infectious compared to the Delta variant; about 30 of its more than 50 mutations are on the spike

protein. Omicron takes only 20 days to hit 90% of the genome-sequenced samples, compared to approximately 100 days for Delta. Miranda points out that the extent and nature of SARS-CoV-2 viral mutations also impact the relative efficacies of the different vaccine platforms. On one hand, gathering data seems to confirm that the protein-based vaccines, with their specific immuneenhancing adjuvants, might carry advantages that keep cellular and humoral immune responses relatively intact to hold Omicron at bay. On the other hand, he cautions that “Omicron is expected to render existing vaccines less effective, but, hopefully, not totally ineffective, especially in continuing to offer protection against hospitalization and death from COVID-19. “ He adds that the alertness that both government and the medical, scientific sectors show toward Omicron must continue. Should they fail in their oversight, Miranda warns, “we better be ready for a more virulent and deadly variant. This highly adaptive SARSCoV-2 virus is unlikely to

be eradicated. One thing is for certain, this highly adaptive SARS-CoV-2 virus is unlikely to be eradicated. Mass vaccination is our tool to afford community protection from life-threatening sickness.” Enrique equally stresses that “while current vaccines may be less effective versus the new variants, vaccination is still the best form of protection from severe symptoms---and the only form of protection that we have. As the saying goes, none of us are safe until all of us are safe.” First line of defense Some members of the medical community believe that younger children

should also be inoculated to protect them from COVID-19. Dr. B enny Atienza, President of the Philippine Medical Association (PMA), says that “while it’s welcome news that minors have been included in the vaccination campaigns, we are yet to see them being rolled out to ages 5 to 11. I am hoping that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will eventually allow the same Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) mechanism for the said demographic. This will be also important in achieving herd immunity.” The Family Vaccine and Specialty Clinics Inc. (FVSC)

which Enrique heads, has pioneered the vaccination of children, covering more than 20 provinces through 40 clinics and subsidizing about 50,000 patient visits per year. Omicron’s apparent absence in the archipelago also leaves time for preparation. To date, according to Dr. Cynthia Saloma, Philippine Genome Center Executive Director, “we have not detected Omicron in the 18,000 (positive samples) we have sequenced.” Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary Dr. Maria Rosario Vergeire says that there have been no sudden COVID-19 spikes in See READY, page 9

Greatest massacre of all time

WE were terribly shocked and aghast by the Maguindanao Massacre that blatantly showed the lethal combination of impunity and madness by the perpetrators. We vehemently condemn such dastardly and barbaric act that has no place in a civilized society. We should now be resolved more than ever to work for peace in Mindanao. Greed-driven structures protected by private armies that spawned such heinous crime should now be made obsolete. This is the least that we can do in expressing our deepest sympathy, that after-all, the brutal death of the helpless victims and the fallen kindred in media will not be for naught. Unknown to many, there is an on-going massacre that is equally brutal, systematic and with utmost impunity but has merited just an iota of concern, which is, the plunder of our dipterocarp forest and all the life forms that go with it. Since the late ’80s, the environmental coalition that I had the privilege of leading, Task Force Macajalar, has struggled without letup to save our remaining forest. We, together with the ecological people – the lumads, farmers, fisherfolk – had launched series of human barricades against logging. Such was not an easy task as it was always lifethreatening. All the 30 to 50 ten-wheeler trucks carrying illegally cut logs from

the watersheds of Cagayan de Oro and Lake Lanao were with armed escorts. Such shameless and illegal carriages of timber were passing the thorough-fares of Cagayan de Oro at early dawn so as not to be noticed. The 10 long years of barricading logging trucks saw us slapped with court cases by the logging companies including the hurling of a M2K2 hand-grenade that miraculously did not explode. These harassments did embolden us to intensify our advocacy that even led us to confront personally no less than then President Joseph Estrada in the barricade area. Our battle-cry then was, “Protecting God’s vanishing creation is the highest form of worship.” Although we were successful in stopping logging to save the remaining forest but such victory came only after a decade of direct actions because the structure of greed that got support from power-that-be together with cabal of vested interest was very formidable. This contention is well backed-up by evidence that we have been exposing all these years but no one seems to listen. By then, the remaining forest in the watersheds of Cagayan de Oro had gone down to only 2,000 hectares from 37,000 hectares 30 years ago (based on the Satellite Map.) Yes indeed, the 48,000-hectare city of Cagayan de Oro is almost without forest cover. Now,

Orlan R. Ravanera

are you still wondering why we are suffering from ecological disasters? What is painful is when water rises causing floods, it is those without money that suffer the worst! The loggers are well secured in their mansions and those who did connive with them! Indeed, the sins of a few loggers are now visited upon our people. From 17 million of natural forest a century ago, our country, an archipelago of 7,100 islands that needs some 10 million hectares of forest cover to have ecological security, has barely half a million left. We have been advocating to hold those who have wantonly massacred our forests accountable. From 1971-1988, the loggers have harvested 3.88 million hectares of virgin forests. Many were politicians who used their gargantuan income to buy votes. Don’t you know that one shipment alone of logs would earn a logger 400 million pesos? And these raking have been used to buy votes during elections! The logging industry despite amassing forty-eight billion dollars (Asian Development Bank) from 19701988, in the same period, it had only contributed from 0.5% to 1.3% to the total Government Revenue. In the period of 1988-1994, the forest sector lost a total See MASSACRE, page 19

Have my say

Do live for something!

ADMITTEDLY, this sounds like a very easy request. Already, Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847), a Scottish minister, professor of theology, political economist, and a leader of both the Church of Scotland and of the Free Church of Scotland, treated that topic already with plenty of flowering words. “Innumerable human beings live, move and have to pass away - free from worries but unknown and unnoticed. Incomprehensible and inscrutable: no line written and no word talk by themselves are still in the memories of their bereaved. Their gleams of light switched out in the darkness of life’s night”. Why do people like to live like this even knowing they have to leave the platform of their lives one day? Still in mind is the one question of Brother Francis Castro of the Little Brothers of Jesus about the “burning flame inside him that makes him jump out of his bed ... and hurry to work...”. The Little Brothers of Jesus congrega-

tion was established in the Philippines in 1977. It now has two communities -- in the Diocese of Antipolo, northeast of Manila, and in the Quezon City district of the Archdiocese of Manila. Four brothers -- three Filipinos and a native Vietnamese with French nationality -- live in the communities with a French priest of the order. Brother Francisco C. Castro, head of the congregation´s Philippine region, reflects on his experiences of quiet witnessing among poor Filipinos as part of spirituality. In our daily life, we do have plenty of situations where we could show our real calling. Thomas Chalmers describes it as follows, “Good deeds are shining like stars from heaven”! So, do live for something. For your beloved fellow creatures in your private surroundings as well as at your workplace. And do it for yourself. Do it now! Kindness, helpfulness, hospitality, obligingness, ready to do favors - and

Lacson: Voters Have Responsibility of Choosing Right Leaders December 10, 2021 - Before the next leader can lead the Philippines out of its predicament, he must first be elected by the voters. Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed this as he noted the country faces a whopping P13.42-trillion debt by the time the next administration takes over. “Each and every living Filipino, rich or poor, young or old will pay for it. The heavy burden falls on the country’s next leaders. The responsibility is on the voters to choose those leaders. Think of the next generation. Be wise. Be responsible,” Lacson said on his Twitter account. Earlier, Lacson said the national debt is one of the humongous problems the next leader will face - along with COVID-19’s impact on health and the economy, unemployment, corruption,

and the dispute in the West Philippine Sea. Lacson, who is running for President under Partido Reporma, says he plans to address these problems with a no-nonsense leadership anchored on discipline and leadership by example. He said he will also initiate muchneeded budget reforms to make sure public money is spent properly, as well as downloaded to the local government units so they can implement their priority programs, activities and projects. Lacson and his running mate, Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III who is running under the Nationalist People’s Coalition, have anchored their campaign on presenting before the public their solutions to the problems plaguing the nation.

Andanar: Duterte admin will fight with LGUs vs. pandemic effects until end of term KIBAWE, Bukidnon – Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar on Tuesday assured local officials that the Duterte administration will not leave them in the fight against the ill effects of the COVID-19 pandemic until the end President Rodrigo Duterte’s term next year. In his brief engagement with officials of the local government here, Secretary Andanar stressed that having a President who comes from Mindanao and has a good track record in political leadership was a key factor which enabled President Duterte to effectively lead the country. “Naa mi diri karon para i-assure si Mayor and the

rest of the LGU officials that the President will continue to do his job nga paninguhaon nga makabot nato ang proteksyon batok COVID-19 [We are here to assure the Mayor and the rest of the LGU officials that the President will continue to do his job to ensure that we will reach protection against the COVID-19],” he said. He also sought the continued support of the LGU in the remaining months of the administration. He asked for them to work with the national government and intensify campaigns to encourage more of their constituents to get vaccinated. “Mangayo lang ko’g See FIGHT, page 19

School-based management By REDEEMER D. DENAPO Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator Tangub City Division

THE Philippine basic education envisions learners to develop their full potential by instilling love of one’s country, and through the formation of right values and development of skills and academic proficiency, which are necessary factors in nation-building. To achieve such, the Department of Education empowers the school through the principles of School-Based Management (SBM) to improve services in education. One significant evolution in education is the concept of SBM, which promotes participation in the different governance levels. This was a product of Republic Act 9155, commonly known as the ‘Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001,’ a framework that sets the general directions for educational policies and standards and establishes authority, ac-

countability and responsibility for achieving higher learning outcomes. This has brought empowered stakeholders, improved management systems, standardized processes in the school organization and made reporting more systematic. SBM embodies four principles. The principle of Leadership and Governance provides the vision and direction of the organization making the school responsive to the context of the community it serves. Meanwhile, the principle of Accountability and Continuous Improvement, puts in place clear, transparent and responsive accountability systems. The community and the school personnel jointly monitor, assess and propose improvement of school performance.

Zonta Club of Cebu II together with Mandaue City and IBP Cebu City launch “18 Days of Activisim to End Violence Against Women” THE world needs to find its passion when 1 in 5 women say they have experienced violence in their life. (Source: United Nations and UNICEF) It is with this passion that the Zonta Club of Cebu II launched 18 Days of Activism to End Violence Against Women. Last November 25, 2021, hundreds of women raised their hands to call attention to the plight of women and girls around the world. Supported by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Cebu City Chapter and the City of Mandaue through the advocacy, “Abay sa Kahayag (Guiding Light)”, the event aims to extend a helping hand to victims of abuse and raise awarenes about discrimination, gender inequality and women empowerment. “We are all here to celebrate every woman on this planet especially now, during

the pandemic when millions of women and girls are facing heightened insecurity and violence”, Zontian Atty. Regal Oliva enthusiastically said in her opening statement. A staunch supporter of women and President of Zonta Club of Cebu II, Petite Garcia adds, “The 18 days campaign to end violence against women and children marks its 30th year and is a call to eliminate all forms of gender-based violence and to galvanize women from all backgrounds, women, and girls who are tired of being demeaned, diminished, and dominated. Let us not ask any woman or child to settle for less or to wait any longer. For THIS is our time and the time is NOW.” In the launching, Congresswoman Emmarie Ouano-Dizon, Mayor Jonas C. Cortes and Councilor Cyn-

thia Cinco-Remedio, gave their respective messages of support, while Senator Risa Hontiveros, Rep. Ma. Lourdes Acosta-Alba, District 17’s Governor Chavali Pamela Osathanugrah from Zonta Club of Bangkok II Thailand, and Dr. Rhodora M. Bucoy were also present to impart their knowledge on various women causes. Present as well in support of the event were District Lieutenant Governor Ofelia Bautista, Area 3 Director Terry Apistar, and Vice Area 3 Director Tess Chan. Resource speaker Attorney Mylen Gonzales-Esquivel from the Children’s Legal Bureau, led a very engaging discussion on “Dissecting the Girls Not Brides Bill” and expounded on the need to PUSH for its enactment. The Philippines has a number of child protection laws, and yet, according to UNICEF,

RA. Form No. 10.1 (LCRO)

the country has the 12th highest absolute number of child brides in the world. The 1987 constitution highlights the vital role of the youth in nation-building and despite this provision, and other statutory laws enacted, none specifically address the issue of early marriage. The Philippines is a signatory to a number of international instruments that promote and protect the rights of children. “For us to push for gender equality and empower all women and girls, there is a need to push for the enactment of the Girls not Brides Act”, Atty. Esquivel said. The Girls not Brides Bill defines child marriage as an informal union or cohabitation outside of wedlock between an adult and a child, or between children. It stipulates to abolish all traditional and harmful

NCIP turned over project Epanaw’s three (3) coffee table books (CTBs) to the Philippines Embassy in Washington, D.C., USA THE National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) through its representative, Commissioner for Central Mindanao, Bo-i Jennifer Pia

Sibug-Las, in its thrust to promote the Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) of the Philippines, turned over one set

of Project Epanaw’s Three (3) Coffee Table Books (CTBs) to the Philippine Ambassador to the United States of America (USA), His Excellency Jose

Manuel “Babe” del Gallego Romualdez last December 3, 2021 at the Embassy of the Philippines in Washington, D.C., USA located at Bataan Street corner 1600 Massachusetts Avenue, New Washington (NW), USA. Commissioner Las, who was warmly welcomed at the conference room together with Grand Lodge of New York Jurisdiction, Samuel Tomale, proudly shared to Ambassador Romualdez, along with Deputy Chief of Mission, Jaime Ramon T. Ascalon, Jr. and Third Secretary Mark Dominic E. Lim, the purpose of her visit which was primarily to turn over the 3 CTBs. These CTBs, a labor of love of undertaking of the NCIP, were pro-

duced during the pandemic by NCIP personnel from Central, Regional, and Field Offices and the ICCs/IPs which was launched last March 14, 2021, one year after the imposition of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in the Philippines. She further explained that the project was a brainchild of the NCIP Chairperson, Secretary Allen Capuyan. Project Epanaw seeks to pay tribute and memorialize the identities and rituals of the Indigenous Peoples as well as to highlight the importance of protecting their Ancestral Domains. The first CTB, “Pagkilala” (Recognize), showcases the profiles of the ICCs/IPs. The second CTB, “Paggalang” (Respect), features festivals and rituals that the ICCs/IPs practice in relation to important events such as birth and death, agricultural cycle, and the sacred and profane. While the third CTB, “Pagtaguyod” (Promote), contains tourism destinations, protected areas, critical infrastructures, and natural resources in Ancestral Domains. The NCIP has partnered with the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) of the Department of Tourism (DOT) for the research and publication of Project Epanaw which had already been distributed widely all over the Philippines particularly to NCIP employees, Indigenous Mandatory Representatives (IPMRs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), and other stakeholders. Ambassador Romualdez, during the meeting, expressed his gratitude to the NCIP for receiving a set of the CTBs which will surely be put on view at the Embassy and further hopes for more engagement and partnership in assisting the consulate in its thrust to promote awareness on Philippine culture to the world. He also mentioned that he has already partnered with the Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines through the Fernbank Museum’s “Reflection of Culture” exhibition

in partnership with the Filipino Community in Atlanta, Georgia, USA through Galing Foundation, Inc. (GFI). Commissioner Las, prior to being a Commissioner of the NCIP in her private capacity, loaned their group’s Matrimonial traditional attire to the museum for three (3) years starting 2019-2022. The Ambassador also supported the project “Of Threads and Beads,” of said community during the 2020 Independence Day virtual celebration last year. He likewise congratulated the NCIP, Secretary Allen Capuyan, and all those responsible behind the great work which would be very useful to the Embassy and the other consulates in the United States and will surely help the 4.5 million American Filipinos understand the Indigenous Peoples, their culture, and their Ancestral Domains. Both committed to expand their support for each other’s mandates to promote the Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines, being the first peoples of the country, worthy of recognition as the foundation of Philippine culture. Several projects geared towards promoting the Indigenous Peoples of the country were discussed and possible partnerships with other agencies like the DOT and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) be strengthened to carry out policies on enhancement of positive image of Philippine ICCs/IPs to the international community. The NCIP is the primary agency of the Philippine government mandated to formulate and implement policies, plans, and programs to recognize, respect, promote, and protect the rights and wellbeing of the ICCs/IPs. It aims to empower and capacitate the Indigenous Peoples by introducing them and their thirty-six (36) Specific Rights under the four (4) Bundles of Rights to the international community through the Project Epanaw’s 3 CTBs.

Massacre...

from page 4 of P104 billion worth of old and secondary growth forests. (Phil. Assets Account 1998). Don’t you know that one tree alone can house 130 kinds of living organisms that include ants, birds, orchids and what have you. A century ago, the Philippines was teeming with biodiversity, composed of flora and fauna many of which were found only in our forests. Don’t you know that in 5,000-ha. forest ecosystem alone such as Mt. Kitanglad or Mt. Makiling, the number of flora and fauna existing in that 5,000-ha. ecosystem is far greater in number compared to those found in one (1) billion-ha. continent of North America? With our forest gone, our country has become a lost Eden. Indeed, we have committed the greatest massacre of all time – the extinction of billions of species that have lived in our forest ecosystem for billions of years even before the homo sapiens have been created. Those responsible – the powerful loggers - are there safely ensconced in their mansions while the thousands of the poor and the vulnerable have become victims of ecological disasters. So much cause of nausea to hear the statement that “in this country, no one is above the law, all must bow down to the majesty of the law because we follow the rule of law and not of men.” Tell that to the marines! It is still the law of the powerful loggers and the oligarchs! I repeat, we have lost the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest in violations of existing environmental laws! DENR, please explain! For massacring the 17 millions of hectares of dipterocarp forests and the billions of life forms that were erased from the bosom of Mother Earth, a great number of which had become extinct before they were even discovered, we Filipinos have a lot of explaining to do to our Creator. But first, we have to suffer the consequences of our failures as stewards of God’s creation, which is only ours to protect for the coming generations. Indeed, you kill nature, nature is now taking its revenge as nature’s law is very clear: “Inter-connectedness of all of God’s creation” and “No free meal in nature.” Yes, justice be done ‘till heavens fall! Those who have exploited our natural resources for so much gargantuan raking should now be made accountable!

from page 1 In a recent post, the Mati City PSA-Based PhilSys Fixed Registration Center (FRC) also announced they are now accommodating walk-in registrants. “You may come to register in our office from Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Health and safety protocols must be followed while in FRC,” the post read. The latest PSA data showed that more than 40 million Filipinos have completed the PhilSys Step 2 registration, close to the 50 million target this year. Aside from the three million PhilID cards already delivered, about six million have been dispatched as of November 12. The entire registration process and delivery are free of charge and the national ID does not expire.

Signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in August 2018, Republic Act 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, aims to establish a single national ID for all Filipinos and resident aliens. The national ID shall be a valid proof of identity that shall be a means of simplifying public and private transactions, enrollment in schools, and the opening of bank accounts. It also seeks to boost efficiency, especially in dealing with government services where people will only need to present one ID during transactions. (PNA)

When the passenger was declared “clinically recovered” on December 1, he traveled to the city on the same day. The passenger was tested in the city on December 6, and turned out negative the next day. “It was here in Cagayan de Oro City where the passenger underwent repeat swab testing after arriving in the city from Manila. We are coordinating with the Philippine Genome Center for any developments on the case,” Yu said. Mayor Oscar Moreno said the passenger was reported in the national news media as being “unaccounted for” after arriving in Manila from South Africa. “What happened was last Sunday evening (December 5), Dr. Yu received a call from the Department of Health (DOH10) regional office advising him of this development. In less than four hours, the CHO contacted this person and had him tested the following day,” he said. Yu said he was told by both the DOH-10 and city hall’s Health Emergency Management (HEMS) team about the arrival from Manila. “Upon confirmation of his address, we immediately checked his household for any symptoms and secured his plane ticket and boarding pass and traced his whereabouts through our Higala (online) application,” he said.
