Rep. Pichay said SC decision over his graft case not yet final By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Contributing Editor

TANDAG CITY -- Deputy Speaker and Surigao del Sur 1st District Rep. Prospero Pichay has clarified the Supreme Court decision to uphold his graft case at the Ombudsman in 2011 is not yet final and executory. Pichay posted a press statement in social media Photo from the Facebook page of Rep. Prospero Arreza to refute reports circulated

in several news outlets in the country that he is now disqualified to run for public office after the Suprema Court upheld the decision of the Ombudsman indicting him for graft over the P780-million deal when he was still chair of the Local Water Utilities Administration. “The recent Supreme Court decision only resolved

the complaints filed against me before the Office of the Ombudsman. It must be emphasized that this Supreme Court decision is not a petition for disqualification of my candidacy as congressman,” Pichay pointed out in his statement. He added the decision has no relation to his fitness to run and hold any elective public position since

it did not specifically and categorically rule on his qualification or disqualification to seek another term in Congress. In a 40-page notice, the Supreme Court First Division rejected Pichay’s claim that he was not given due process when the antigraft body found him guilty of grave misconduct for

COTABATO CITY - As part of the third founding anniversary of the Bangsamoro Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the region’s environment office has distributed 18 land titles, 60 seedlings, and environmental compliance certificates (ECCs) to its clients and partners. BARMM is in the thick of celebrating its anniversary this year with weeklong activities to culminate on Friday. In a statement Wednesday, Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Energ y (MENRE) Minister Abdulraof Macacua said the ministry will remain firm in performing its mandate to protect everyone’s environmental rights. He said 14 of the land titles were granted Tuesday to applicants from Maguindanao, three for Basilan, and one for Tawi-Tawi. Meanwhile, the 60 seedlings - 30 giant bamboo and 30 Dao trees - were also turned over by the MENRE on the same day

He said the MENRE is currently working on the ECCs of other investment firms in the region that have complied with environmental laws of the region and is also set to distribute them soon. Macacua said one of the MENRE’s mandates is to efficiently manage and administer land-related concerns and matters, See GRANTS, page 10

Farmer groups tapped to supply cassava fresh tubers to Korean company

For the sustainability of the interventions under RDP-MIC, a consultation meeting was conducted for the crafting of the guidelines for its implementation, operation and maintenance.

Implementing guidelines for RDP-MIC interventions in Claveria town crafted CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The Department of Agriculture - Regional Field Office 10 (DA-10) conducted a consultation meeting with the stakeholders of the Rural Development Project for Multi-Industry Cluster Zone (RDP-MIC) in the Philippines located in Claveria, Misamis Oriental for the crafting of the guidelines for implementation, operation, and maintenance of its interventions. In her message, DA-10 Regional Technical Director for Operations and RDP-MIC Project Manager Carlota S. Madriaga said, that the consultation is important for the sustainability of the Project in the municipality of Claveria. “When the government of Korea hands these projects to us, it will be operated by the benefiting local governments; hence, it is important to come up with operational guidelines so we can continue serving our farmers, which is our very goal

in starting this Project.” Meanwhile, Sea Chol-Son, project manager of Dong IL Engineering Consultants, the lead implementor of the project, hoped that the people of Claveria, particularly those from the benefiting barangays, will be able to manage the facilities well so they can use them for a long time. DA-10 Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado shared that totaling to P117.9-million, RDP-MIC is implemented through a fund grant by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs through the Korea Rural Community, Corp., and the Philippine government through DA, provincial local government of Misamis Oriental and the municipal local government of Claveria, with Dong IL Engineering Consultants as the project implementer. Included interventions are the construction of a greenhouse, warehouse, multi-pur-

pose covered court, and the provision of a water system in barangay Aposkahoy. Also, construction of a farmto-market road, multi-purpose covered court, and the provision of solar and cassava mechanical dryers in barangay Hinaplanan; and the construction of a small bridge in barangay Gumaod. The interventions under the RDP-MIC are set to be turned over on January 18, 2022, while the training for the operational use of the facilities will be arranged beforehand. Present in the said consultation are the barangay officials of the benefiting barangays, officials of the engineering and agriculture departments of the municipal local government of Claveria headed by Engr. Rolando M. Alfanta and Pat F. Dumaloan, respectively, representative from the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines - Claveria Campus and DA-10 staff.# (CRSeraspe)

Gov’t agencies tapped more FCAs to supply cassava fresh tubers to a Korean company eyeing to establish a starch manufacturing plant in MisOr.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Farmer cooperatives and associations (FCAs) from Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon may have alternative markets for their fresh cassava tubers with a Korean company eyeing to establish a starch manufacturing plant in Misamis Oriental. The Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Investments (DTI-BOI), Department of Agriculture (DA), and the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) convened five more cassava producing FCAs on January 11-12, 2022 in CdeO City and via online. These additional groups are from the towns of Alubijid, Balingoan and Balingasag of MisOr, and Manolo

Fortich of Bukidnon, likely bringing to a total of 30 endorsed FCAs to the interested buyer, targeting to implement their cassava processing manufacturing project at barangay Sta. Ana, Tagoloan. DA-10 Cassava focal person Jurrybe J. Lachica led the discussions on the provisions of the proposed Memorandum of Agreement between the company and the pre-identified raw material supplier organizations, with the assistance from DTI-BOI. Among the salient concerns tackled are volume of deliveries, pricing mechanics, delivery period, quality parameters, and payment term, and the different po-

tential windows of assistance from the agencies were likewise bared. According to DA-10 Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado, the focus on the tackled concerns is on optimizing the yield per area planted by the cassava clusters and capital needs to scale up their cassava operations. Should the dealings be finalized, a signing of the discoursed agreement will hopefully be pursued this month between the company and that of the FCAs, in the presence of the representatives from the mentioned national government agencies and local government units of the tapped cassava clusters. # (JLO)

How to Liberate the Indigenous Peoples from Poverty & Oppression?

HOW oppressed are the Indigenous Peoples is well analyzed in a study that concluded: “Indigenous lands have become battlegrounds of conflict pitting communities against powerful forces that aim to grab the lands and resources to advance the political and economic interest in support of agenda that is driven by corporate greed. Dispossession and displacement of IP communities from their own ancestral lands continue unabated despite the recognition of IP rights in national as well as international human rights laws.” Mr. Ceasar Soriano & staff of PTV4 stayed for two weeks in Mindanao early last year and documented the issues besetting the IPs which was shown in three episodes in MAGANDANG GABI PILIPINAS entitled AGAW LUPA, AGAW BUHAY. Here is the summary based on the IP narratives: “Since 2016, a total of 92 individuals have fallen victims to extra judicial killings with around 160 victims frustrated EJKs; 227 IPs have been illegally arrested, detained and abducted and 27 reported being subjected to torture.” In a virtual meeting with top government officials last year, two chairpersons of IP cooperatives Datu

Modesdo Pucol and Sultan Abdul Amoran narrated the issues and oppression the IPs are subjected to and they passionately asked, “Mr. Secretary Isidro la Pena, “kami po ba ay tao o basura?” Indeed, all of their narratives were concrete proofs that all these years, the IPs have been treated as disposable wastes. Well it is not surprising In a world that is giving so much veneration to the profit-motive that has already captured the mindset of all governments, all institutions, all universities and even of religious groups against the backdrop of so much denigration of spirituality, buried in so much materialism and consumerism that has sacrificed mother earth to the altar of greed and profit, how do we now awaken humanity from deep slumber? The mainstream media is controlled by those who are in control and continue disseminating gospel of advertisements to perpetuate unconsciousness to hide the truth. This is especially true in the discounting of the climate crisis in pursuit of short-term profit by the 19 Fossil Companies that will not allow the discontinuance of their massive raking of some16 trillion dollars annually or 10 million dollars every minute. The truth

Orlan R. Ravanera

about climate change that is putting civilization in the state of planetary emergency is being hidden. Such is a crime against humanity. In this process of subversion, there are three kinds of actors: those who tell the lies, those who repeat the lies and those who allow themselves to be seduced by the lies. We should not allow these lies to continue. While we are now in the state of planetary emergency as climate change indicators have escalated so quickly that an emergency response is imperative if civilization is to avoid breakdown and eventual collapse, it is already too late to organize a robust movement. What we can do is to create awareness among the 12 million cooperative members nation-wide and the 1 billion members worldwide to awaken and transform the cooperative movement to be true to its DNA of being value-based and philosophy driven and above all, of being sustainable. The Philippines is the 4th in the world worst hit by climate change according to the UN’s Risk Disaster Index. The most affected are the rural ecological people aggravated by the on-going See LIBERATE, page 11

Omicron’s road-trip: From pandemic to endemic

THERE is light at the end of the tunnel. And that light may soon bring hope to mankind as the pandemic is seen to meltdown and may be downgraded to being local — endemic to say the least. And the Omicron variant, though rapidly spreading like wildfire may soon vanish into thin air and eventually disappear from the ends of the Earth, so to speak. That said, health experts revealed that Omicron’s rapid spread may help push coronavirus from the pandemic status to a more manageable endemic phase. Since Omicron is highly transmissible but apparently less deadly to cause severe damage as some previous variants, it could mark a transition from this Covid-19 pandemic chapter to an endemic phase. Though still lurking in our midst, the sting of Covid -19 had somehow mellowed down a bit through this less deadly Omicron variant, but health authorities has warned of the continued

resurgence if health protocols are ignored en masse. The pandemic is a global catastrophe of immeasurable proportion never imagined to go down in history as the worst ever health crisis to halt the world’s economy to an almost complete stop. In fact, Covid-19 has affected mankind completely down and out — and just how our lives have changed drastically for a temporary period of time for two years — and still counting, though its pace has been observed in almost stationary motion. That said, this pandemic is the worst crisis ever experienced by mankind, next only to the 1918 global health crisis that had killed millions of our early ancestors. Per record, the influenza pandemic had killed more people than victims of World War 1 at somewhere between 20 - 40 million. It was cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. And history repeats itself, indeed.

Ruffy Magbanua

After a quarter of a century, that pandemic with an almost the same face value is back. This makes 2020-21 horrible years to reckon with. And for countless reasons, the last two years really sucked. And as we go through another pandemic year, we do hope death counts will come in trickles as vaccinations progress down to the barangay level. Good grief vaccines of various country origins are now evolving fast, hoping that soon this deadly virus that had stunned the world will be a thing of the past. Yet its still safe to wear mask and always keep the distance. Getting vaccinated is the key to sending Omicron to oblivion.(ruffy44_ph2000@ yahoo.com)

New registrations show continued progress in NorMin: SEC

By NEF LUCZON

TANGUB CITY, Misamis Occidental - The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday said the increase of new incorporations and registrations in Northern Mindanao is an indication that business remains promising in the region in the last two years despite the pandemic. In a statement, lawyer Frederick A. Enopia, officer-in-charge of the SECCagayan de Oro (CDO) extension office, said for 2021, their office received a total of 1,505 registrations from 726 stock corporations; 67 partnerships; and 712 non-stock corporations. The total number constitutes a 27.56-percent increase from its 2020 figure, which the DTI said was an indicator of a higher filing of new incorporations and applications for expansion in capital. “This is truly evident to what we are seeing today as business starts to operate once again. We have indeed loosened up our precautionary measures, which allow these establishments to recover from the long period of economic loss,” he said. An increase in capital applications, the figures were derived from new company registration filings. The SEC-CDO believed these figures prove that the economy is going back to business as usual, particularly in Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions, which fall under the extension office’s jurisdiction. Enopia also said their office has been innovative in its programs by launching different online systems for clients to use without the need for physical presence. Such initiative of the commission, he said, has contributed a lot to the continuous delivery of services despite the restrictions. “These initiatives have immensely helped us to continuously deliver our services towards our clients without putting much risk of contamination with the virus,” Enopia said. ‘Bagwis’ Awards for Businesses Meanwhile, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) office in Misamis Occidental gave “Bagwis Awards” to eight business establishments that extended outstanding customer service for the year 2021 last week. The recipients of the Bronze Seal Award were Unitop General Merchandise; Esprutingkle Retail Store Corporation (7-Eleven) in Oroquieta, Tangub, and Ozamiz branches; VIC Imperial Appliance Corporation (Imperial Appliance Plaza); and Princemin Corporation (Prince See SHOW, page 10

SEIPI’s Typhoon Odette Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity THE Semiconductor & Electronics Industries in the Philippines, Foundation Inc. (SEIPI) is the leading organization of multinational and Filipino-owned semiconductor and electronics companies in the Philippines with 340 members, including manufacturing firms, allied and support industries, and the academe. The Philippine semiconductor and electronics industry is a significant driver of the Philippine economy and the largest contributor to the country’s manufacturing sector. In 2020, electronics exports accounted for US$ 39.7 billion or 62% of our country’s commodity exports and employs over 3 million direct and indirect workers. As of November 2021 year-to-date, the cumulative electronics exports reached US$ 42 billion, or 61.42% of the total Philippine exports. In December 2021, Typhoon Odette ravaged the Philippines, particularly the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Signal No. 4 was raised in certain areas, and the typhoon adversely affected over 7 million people and caused severe damages to properties and infrastructure, injuries, and deaths. SEIPI’s member-companies and universities belonging to its VisayasMindanao (VisMin) Chapter were not spared. The facilities of these members, the majority of which are located in the economic zones and industrial parks in Cebu City and Lapu-lapu City, were damaged and thousands of employees suffered from the lack of basic supplies like potable water. The catastrophic impact of the typhoon on SEIPI’s VisMin members caused the organization to quickly launch a donation drive. Its Luzon members immediately responded and donated over PhP 2,800,000. As an urgent response, SEIPI purchased 3,000 boxes of 1,500 mL bottled drinking water for its Cebu membercompanies and schools. These were transported by air to Cebu and delivered to the distribution center at Teradyne Philippines in Lapu-lapu City for free by AIR21 and UPS, through the kindness of Chairman and Former Customs Commissioner Bert Lina. Chairperson Rosemarie Rafael’s

Airspeed delivered the first cases of water to Teradyne on Christmas Day. SEIPI communicated with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), and its Annual Business Partners, First Gen, Globe, Meralco, and PLDT, on the restoration of essential services in Cebu.

Ms. Lilith Montayre, Onsemi Cebu Director & General Manager and SEIPI VisMin Chairperson, said that SEIPI has shown the ultimate and true spirit of Bayanihan by extending its kindness and generosity to its VisMin brothers and sisters. Teradyne Philippines

Worldwide CSO Operation/Cebu Site Director Ms. Jacqueline Briones-Budoo commended SEIPI for being the first organization outside Cebu that responded to their need, mobilizing at lightning speed in the middle of the Christmas season. Ms. Briones-Budoo kindly agreed to have Teradyne be

PRRD signs law revising Veterans Bank charter PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte signed into law a measure that revised the Philippine Veterans Bank charter. The revised charter now includes post-World War II veterans and soldiers as shareholders, but priority is still maintained for World War II veterans and their immediate descendants. Also known as the Philippine Veterans Bank Act, Republic Act 11597 takes effect on January 21, 2022. Enacted into law, it repealed RA 3518 —An Act Creating the Philippine Veterans Bank — which in turn was amended by RA 7169 or the Act to Rehabilitate Philippine Veterans Bank). RA 11597 increases the bank’s authorized capital

stock from P100 million to P10 billion to align its capitalization with the minimum level prescribed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for private commercial banks. This allows PVB to issue additional stocks, increase the number of the Board of Directors to 15 from 11, and move its head office from Manila to Makati City. One highlighted amendment provided by the new law is the definition of “veterans.” Previously, it only referred to Filipinos who fought in WWII and were later on recognized as “World War II Veterans.” Under the amended charter, “veterans” will also include post-World War II

of Directors, employees and staff, I would like to give our thanks to President Rodrigo Duterte for signing the “Philippine Veterans Bank Act”

into law demonstrating once again his strong support of the veterans community for which veterans extend their gratitude. And we extend

our gratitude as well to the authors and sponsors of RA 11597 for without them, this amended charter wouldn’t have become a reality,” Roberto F. De Ocampo, PVB Chairman and CEO, said in a statement. “The new PVB charter is an enormous boon for the Bank as it will allow us to continue to be the bank not just for veterans but to be the bank with the heart for every Filipino. With the new charter in place, PVB can raise capital stock which in turn will allow us to grow our business, and the inclusion of post-World War II veterans as shareholders will only allow PVB to grow in strength and stability,” he added.

Lacson: DA’s Plan to Import Galunggong Threatens to ‘Kill’ Our Fishermen

January 19, 2022 - With its decision to import some 60,000 metric tons of fishes such as galunggong and mackerel, the Department of Agriculture may well be “killing” our fishermen. On this note, Partido Reporma Chairman and standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson questioned the need to import fish when our waters are full of such natural resources. “Import pa more! After killing our farmers by importing vegetables and fruits, it is the turn of our fishermen to die,” he said on

his Twitter account Wednesday. He was referring to the DA’s reported decision to import 60,000 metric tons of small pelagic fishes supposedly because local supply has yet to normalize from the devastation brought by Typhoon Odette. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources reportedly projected a fish shortfall of 119,000 metric tons in the first quarter of 2022. Worse, Lacson noted the DA has a history of allowing potential corruption in importing agricultural

products such as pork, poultry and fish and seafood products. In April 2021, he cited data obtained from his office indicating that the Philippines lost more than P1 billion yearly in foregone revenues from 2015 to 2020, on imported fish and seafood alone. He also questioned the huge discrepancies between the records of the World Trade Organization and the Philippine Statistics Authority in terms of fish and seafood importation from the top 15 exporting countries from 2015 to 2020. “If corruption infects the Department of Agricul-

ture that should be at the forefront of food security efforts, it goes beyond human conscience,” he said. Earlier, Lacson took up the cudgels for Filipino farmers threatened by the importation of agricultural items that we are capable of producing - such as strawberries and carrots. “The worry of farmers is not just the influx of smuggled agricultural products. They are also concerned about agricultural pests that manage to slip past our authorities’ inspection,” he noted at a Senate hearing on agricultural smuggling last December. See PLAN, page 9

DILG to LGUs: Convince unvaccinated persons to get vaccinated in checkpoints By CHRISTOPHER LLOYD CALIWAN

MANILA – The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Wednesday urged local government units (LGU) to come up with creative ways to deal with persons unvaccinated against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) who are intercepted at checkpoints. Interior Secretary Eduardo Año, in a message to the Philippine News Agency (PNA), commended the Taguig LGU under Mayor Lino Cayetano for convincing unvaccinated persons caught at the checkpoints and having them vaccinated immediately at the vaccination sites. “This is a best practice that should be adopted by other LGUs. LGUs may still craft other initiatives and ideas to encourage people to get vaccinated,” Año said. He earlier said he is in favor of proposals to bring the unvaccinated to the inoculation centers for them to get the jabs. “Taguig City has been doing that on the first day of implementation of restricting unvaccinated persons to their homes. They caught 400 persons at their checkpoints. They were brought to the vaccination site and they agreed to get vaccinated,” Año added. Cayetano has ordered the establishment of vaccination registration booths and the deployment of shuttle vehicles to checkpoints across the city. The program has been initiated to ensure that residents who want to get vaccinated can have easier access to inoculation. On the first day of the

program’s implementation on January 7, about 450 unvaccinated individuals who were flagged at checkpoints and wanted to get inoculated were brought to the city’s vaccination hubs where they got their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. The city also implements the exemptions for those who are unvaccinated that they may still travel, but only to buy essential goods, as well as persons whose See CONVINCE, page 8

MANILA –Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar expressed his appreciation to Congress and Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go as the construction of the firstever Visayas Media Hub will push through this year. This after the stalled project has been included in the 2022 national budget under the flagship ‘Build, Build’, Build’ program of the national government, nearly five months before President Rodrigo Roa Duterte steps down on June 30, 2022. As another legacy of the Duterte administration for effective government communication operations, the government allotted P300million for the construction of the Visayas Media Hub in Brgy. Subangdaku in Mandaue City, Cebu Province which is sourced from the General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2022.

Fostering mental health awareness By BRANDON D. DONATOS Teacher II Consuelo National High School

The COVID-19 pandemic has led teachers to an unpredictable scenario where the lockdown situation has accelerated the shift from traditional to online educational methods, and relationships have been altered by the avoidance of direct contact with the others, with implications for their mental health. Physical activity seemed to be a factor that could prevent mental disorders such as anxiety or depression in this peculiar situation. Between the unpredictability, the isolation and the newfound challenges in reaching their learners – not only the mental health experts worry but everyone is also struggling – what little mental health support is extended to teachers feels like nowhere near enough. As this pandemic encompasses a big challenge to the education system around the world, our teachers, our learning facilitators, and the prime movers of education are also suffering and struggling. Thus, it is very vital that we should intensify awareness on the mental health of our

teachers, as their state of mind and body will greatly affect their work performance. One significant strategy is to boost our physical activity. As we spend hours in a day and even in the wee hours of the night just to finish all the reports and deliverables on our assigned tasks, it is very important that we as teachers and education prime movers should do various physical exercises and activities in order to keep our minds and bodies healthy and active. With this, studies show that it can be concluded from previous experiences that physical activity and exercise could help to mitigate the effects caused by the current pandemic on the mental and physical health of citizens worldwide. According to Amatriain-Fernández (2020), being physically active should be highly recommended considering that physical activity could help in preventing psychological or mood disorders and improving the quality of life by decreasing the negative psychosocial effects of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It is with profound appreciation that we thank Congress, specifically Senator Bong Go who initiated such an action, for the in-

clusion of a P300-million budget for the construction of the Visayas Media Hub in the General Appropriations Act for the Fiscal Year

2022,” Sec. Andanar said. Sec. Andanar added that the initiative was primarily pushed by Senator Bong Go, a vital move for the continuation of the PCOO’s goal of modernizing government media operations nationwide. “Our apparent success in constructing and operating the Mindanao Media Hub speaks for the incorruptible disposition of the PCOO in carrying out such an initiative,” the PCOO chief added.

Self-care tips in the ‘new normal’ By BRANDON D. DONATOS Teacher II Consuelo National High School

After more than a year and a half, it’s become fully apparent that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live forever, from our work arrangements to our recreational activities to our social lives. This new reality poses unique sets of challenges for all of us. Practicing self-care is more essential than ever when it comes to taking care of our emotional health and wellbeing amid these changes. When it comes to taking care of your health and wellbeing, sleep is pretty much always part of the answer. Getting enough good-quality sleep keeps your immune system running at its best to fight off infections, like the one caused by the new coronavirus. Scientists know sleep is also one of the top ways we can help keep stress in check, as sleep deprivation

can make us more sensitive to the effects of stress, ramping up our reactions. Finally, the brain needs sleep to function; without it you’ll be less patient and focused, make poor decisions, and be more moody, irritable, and emotional. Moreover, spending a lot more time at home does not mean you get to be a couch potato. Staying active keeps your body healthy physically, keeping your risk of chronic health issues down and lowering your chances of an acute illness like COVID-19. It also boosts your sense of well-being. Exercise releases endorphins (hormones that make you feel good!), sharpens focus, and aids sleep. Staying physically active also lessens the risk of mood disorders, increases energy, and improves mood overall.

He said the project, which involves a nationwide construction of 418 builder unibridge from France, is a double lane modular steel unibridge with a total length of 28.8 linear meters and a width of 7 meters. “I am anticipating that through this project, our ARBs will have better access to market their products and eventually increase their income and improve their lives,” Villanueva said. Villanueva led the laying of the capsule for the

police chief, reported the arrest of Julieto Gempisaw, the second most wanted person (MWP) in the region, with a warrant from Presiding Judge Jose Yamut of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 11. Gempisaw was arrested on January 16, around 5 a.m. in Barangay Mabunga, “Because of the incursions of Chinese vessels, we are denied 300,000 metric tons of fish... If you divide 30 million kilos of fish by 40 kilos, that would translate to 7.5 million Filipino families who have to buy fish from sources other than the Philippines. That’s unacceptable,” he said.

Baungon town, Bukidnon.

at the church where the mass was held. Jubahib told protesters that local officials had submitted resolutions to support the bills to expand the franchise area of Davao Light. According to its website, Davao Light is the third largest privately-owned electric distribution utility in the country in terms of customer size and annual kWh sales. Its franchise area covers Davao City, areas of Panabo City, and the municipalities of Carmen, Dujali, and Santo Tomas in Davao del Norte, with a population of approximately 1.8 million and a total area of 3,561 square kilometers. Higher, lower Jubahib claimed that under Davao Light, consumers in the province would enjoy a lower price per kilowatt hour monthly, at two to three pesos lower than Nordeco’s P11 to P17 per kilowatt hour monthly. A Nordeco presentation admitted its electricity rates could be slightly higher compared to Davao Light but the distribution, supply and metering charges will make the difference between profit and services. The presentation noted about 27 percent of the monthly bill from the consumers will directly go to the Davao Light owners while Nordeco will retain only 15 per cent for the continued services to member-consumers as the rest of the charges are passed through generation companies, transmis-

sion providers and government dues. Spreader For his part, Rellon asked the crowd to go home as the protest action could be a spreader for COVID-19. “We respect your constitutional rights but we cannot compromise the lives of our people,” he said. A month earlier, on December 15, a huge crowd pushed its way towards the stage of the Tagum City Hall where Senator Emmanuel Pacquiao was speaking, eagerly awaiting the P1,000 giveaway for each of them. Some netizens commented on Pacquiao’s social media page about the possible COVID spreader event. Netizens expressed concern that people did not seem to care. “It’s sad. It seems no pandemic took place that they disregard the Covid or the new variant,” said one netizen. “Because of the money, the people were no longer scared of Covid,” said another. Pressured Ariel Perote, CAPECs Secretary representing the faculty members of Briz Elementary School in Tagum City, said local officials may have been pressured to support House Bill 10554 considering that co-sponsor of this legislation is former House Speaker and 1st District of Davao del Norte Rep.

Importance of employee wellbeing in the ‘new normal’ By BRANDON D. DONATOS Teacher II Consuelo National High School

“Issues of wellbeing, mental health, domestic circumstance, financial hardship, chronic physical ill-health and agile working practices have new urgency. Action is needed now. We are increasingly hearing about ‘humanizing’ the workplace and it is worth taking a moment to consider what that means for the organization, most especially in this time of pandemic, in which one’s wellbeing is very significant. Humanizing the workplace involves a multi-faceted approach. We must remember that to be human means to make mistakes. Instead of adopting the pervading business narrative that emphasizes getting decisions right first time, every time, organizations such as the Department of Education will need to embrace the messiness that humanizing the work experience inevitably involves. Through this iterative, human approach, we can positively change the employee experience in ways we might never have thought. Unhealthy lifestyles can be a factor in this volume of lost time, but so is poor mental health and stress. Work is one of the largest contributors to stress in any employee’s life. Major risk factors for work-related stress stem from poor communication, lack of support, and inflexibility in working hours and practices. Thus, any policy to address wellness needs to takes these factors into account. It’s clear that at the moment the world is a more stressful place than usual, so it’s essential to put time, energy, and money into maintaining and sustaining the organization’s employees, and supporting them through all the transitions that are still on the horizon. “Issues of

As of December 2019, Davao Light served a total of 420,666 customers, with a recorded peak demand of 454 MW. Before HB 10554 was filed, Davao Light’s franchise over the areas mentioned was extended for another 25 years through HB 6836 authored by Davao City Representatives Paolo Duterte, Isidero Ungab and Vincent Garcia and Representatives Sandro Gonzalez and Franz Alvarez in 2020 and passed in the same year into what is now Republic Act 11515. According to the website of the House of Representatives, the bill “lapsed into law” on December 26, 2020. HB 10554 was filed on November 29, 2021 as a substitute bill to HB 9978. Authored by Representatives Alfredo Garbin, Franz Alvarez, Pantaleon Alvarez, Jericho Jonas Nograles, Xavier Jesus Romualdo and Edward Vera Perez Maceda, it had its first reading on the same day and was approved on second reading two days later, on December 1, 2021. The Committee on Legislative Franchises in its Committee Report No. 150 dated November 29, 2021 endorsed the substitute bill HB 10554 which provides for the expansion of Davao Light’s franchise area to include Tagum City, the Island Garden City of Samal, and the municipalities of Asuncion, Kapalong, New Corella, San Isidro and Talaingod in Davao Del Norte, and Maco town in Davao de Oro. These areas are presently covered by the franchise of Nordeco, according to Marilou Impuesto, Manager of its Institutional Services Department. Impuesto said Nordeco’s franchise in the mainland is until 2028 while the franchise in Samal is until 2033. “Even from national to local officials, it’s quite obvious that they supported (HB 10554). But since

it’s election time, many of them would not play with this because the number of people who came here can be translated into votes,” Perote said in an interview at the rally. He said CAPECs comprises 30 organizations from the different sectors who united to oppose the privatization of Nordeco. If privatized, he said, “there will be no more voice and representation from the memberconsumers-owners of Nordeco and Davao Light can increase their bills anytime they want without consulting us.” Sitio Electrification Program CAPECs’ members were part of the manifesto signed by 94,000 Nordeco members, who stressed that privatization over the areas covered by Davao Light’s franchise application would adversely affect the national government’s Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) and deprive more than 600 still-to-be-energized sitios under Nordeco operation. The Davao del Norte chapter of the National Center of Electric Cooperative Consumers, Inc. also supported Nordeco’s move, saying the SEP would no longer be given subsidies by the national government once it is operated by a “private-capitalist distribution utility firm like DLPC.” Rep. Godofredo Guya of Rural Electric Cooperatives Board of Directors Association (Recoboda) party-list who spoke at the rally, said this is not only the fight of Nordeco but a fight of over 14 million consumers in the country. “We do not want this to be business-oriented, we want this to be service-oriented,” he said. Lawyer Janeene Depay-Colingan, general manager of the Philippine Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives (Philreca), said HB 10554 was hastily passed both in the Committee on Legislative Franchises and during the second reading in early December. “Philreac and Nordeco submitted our position papers addressing and debunking every point mentioned in the bill’s Explanatory Note but these were not even discussed. They simply insisted that the LGU (local government unit) officials of the franchise area being considered have already spoken – which does not matter because as a cooperative, the voice that we should listen to are those of the member-owner-consumers, not of the politicians’,” she said in an earlier press statement. “It would constitute an unwarranted monopoly of distribution services, not just in the

School leadership amidst the pandemic By MIRAFLOR C. ESPAŃO

The news suddenly broke out announcing travel bans, lockdowns, and imposed health safety protocols that the whole world was unprepared. Economy is greatly affected and the people suffered excessive consequences. Many questions popped up on how the education system would adjust to the new normal. Social media made a trend with #AcademicFreeze for they cannot bear the pressure on not having face-to-face classes. However, the leaders within the Department of Education did not sit on the current circumstance. They thought of alternatives to continue with effective educational system that would fit the new normal. Options are available for learners: online classes and modules. Both students and teachers had the hard time to adjust with these new learning systems. Despite the difficulty, leaders took the upper hand to manage new questions on the table. The administrative body conducted various seminars that would help the teachers improve their teaching styles that would

cater the needs of students learning online. They also made sure that budget allocations would be available to schools adopting modular learning. Modules go through quality checks to make sure its content accommodates the learners’ needs. School visitations are also consistent in order to monitor each of the school’s activities. Students’ feedback are in consideration to provide room for improvement. Online communication played a huge role among leaders. Before the pandemic, administrators travel from one place to another to have meetings and conferences, but in the new normal, this practice is truly inconvenient. Leaders were pushed to do every discussion online and came up with effective decisions. It is a struggle to some, especially those who just learned how to deal with the innovating technology. Nevertheless, they did not make it as an excuse to settle with mediocre leadership, but instead, they managed to make the best out of the technology we have today.

Authorities said Alert Level 3 in the NCR Plus, which covers the NCR and neighboring provinces of Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan, costs the economy around PHP3 billion every week. Edillon said latest figures on the impact of the Alert Level system on the economy are “tamer” compared to the effects of the enhanced community quarantine and the modified enhanced community quarantine. She said the improving vaccination rate in the country is a plus as it provides added protection of the population against the coronavirus disease 2019. Edillon said the economy has experienced heightened movement restrictions in the past, thus, “we think we are now much better at managing these risks.” “…There’s still enough time to catch up,” she added.

The value of education By RUENA S. DIANGO

Education is very vital to every human being. Education sets every aspect of every individual. Education is a treasure to every human development and growth. Without education, life is colorless; without education, life is dark; and most of all, without education everything will seem to be nothing, no worth, definitely no value. We must value education. Education should be valued. A popular saying that goes, “Education is the only thing that our parents can guarantee our bright future ahead” implies a lot. Many said that we must do our best in school so that we can land a good job someday; probably a bright future awaits us. Many said that attaining good education is our vessel and instrument to success. Definitely, it is true. Young ones, we must value education from the time we see the beauty of this world. We should take every single day as a single learning

process for our progress and advancement. We should not stop learning. You should value all your parents’ effort in sending you to good schools for you to learn all things life offers. You should value every single centavo your parents have spent for you. You should value your teachers’ effort in educating you. Every single thing, you must value it for it is very significant to our everyday struggles in this world. Thus, value education as much as you value life, for education teaches as life’s insights and experiences which could be useful to our own personal development. Value education as you value your parents and loved ones and value education as you value God, that you can’t live without it. When you value education sincerely and passionately, you will reap success. Young ones, good luck in your studies!

from page 4 protracted war. This is the conclusion of the Study by the World Bank as reported by the Food and Agricultural Organization. This is the reason why 4 of 5 farmers especially the young ones are now leaving farming and going to the urban centers to work as janitors, waiters or drivers that are now highly congesting the cities. This is also the reasons why the rural people are going abroad as 6,000 Filipinos were leaving daily during the pre-covid time, leaving their families behind to work in other countries. Not only shall we address climate change; let us also bring peace especially in the resource-rich Mindanao where the second longest war in the world – the Mindanao War – must now be stopped. But how? By uprooting the root causes of war – poverty, gross inequity and social injustice. No less than Pope Francis said when he visited Malacañang a decade or so ago that “it bids us all to break the bonds of social injustice and oppression that give rise to glaring and scandalous inequities.” Yes, in a highly skewed societal order where only 50 oligarchs control the economy, let us now advance cooperativism as the great equalizer. Our vision/mission is to strengthen IP cooperatives to become a countervailing force against climate change and violent extremism. This has become so inspiring, manifesting a peaceful approach to end protracted war. The urgent call now is to organize the 15 million Indigenous Peoples in their 1,200 Ancestral Domains. Why the imperative need? Know that the poorest of the poor now are the Indigenous Peoples whose land and water rights are being violated. In Mindanao alone, some 63 IP leaders have been killed in the last 5 years? For what? For resisting massive land grabbing by Trans-National Corporations in cohort with powers-that-be. Look at the very resource rich Mindanao. Who controls? Who profits? Who benefits? Some two hundred thousand hectares – the choicest of land – which were before owned by the Indigenous Peoples have been transformed into massive plantations to satisfy the consumerist lifestyle of the people in advanced countries while the Filipinos cannot even produce enough staples for its hungry and malnourished people like rice and milk. Isn’t paradoxical that our country is the biggest importer of rice? Don’t you know that 99% of the milk that we consume is imported? Indeed, the culprit is what you call corporate globalization! We are now in the frontline on documenting the issues confronting the IPs to resolve the issues not through armed struggle but through cooperativism. Our approach is to help the IPs include massive planting of giant bamboo in hundreds of thousands of hectares that have been denuded through massive logging and mining in the last 7 decades. We will also capacitate the IPs to transform their Ancestral Domain into ERRATUM IN COMPLIANCE WITH the PUBLICATION in the Certificate of Live Birth of KHRISTIAN AQUEÑO PIAD.

massive abaca, coffee and cacao plantations and in raising livestock especially cattle for dairy projects. EMPOWER THE IPS THROUGH COOPERATIVISM to counter poverty and to end the second longest war in the world. And most importantly, counter climate change as bamboo is a good carbon sink, water holder and most importantly, an alternative to fossil fuel.

Agarwood is an expensive tree species known for its fragrant bark used in incense, perfume, and small carvings. In the middle of the transaction, four armed men sporting bullet vests with “Pulis” markings suddenly appeared and ordered them to stand still. The armed men then forcibly carted away their mobile phones, cash amounting to PHP2.7 million, and the agarwood items. “Brig. Gen. Caramat, based on police records, ordered a hot pursuit operation at around 6:00 a.m. of Jan. 15 following an intelligence report that armed persons clothed in police uniform were involved in an alleged robbery-in-band early afternoon of Jan. 14,” the PRO-13 said. After receiving the order, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Regional Field Unit 13, the Regional Intelligence Division 13, and the Agusan del Sur Provincial Field Unit (ADS PFU) alerted and mobilized their teams in Agusan del Sur resulting in the identification of those involved in the robbery, including the discovery of the ADSPPO vehicle they used during the commission of the crime. “Review of CCTV footages in the area also helped the operating police personnel in the identification of the suspects and in tracing the vehicle they used,” the PRO-13 said. It added that on January 16, Caramat received a call from the police provincial director of the ADSPPO regarding the surrender of the four cops involved in the crime. “The police officers involved were positively identified by the victim,” it said. “This unlawful act does not reflect the mandates and guidelines of the members of Philippine National Police (PNP) and furthermore

Thursday, January 20, 2022 damages the hard work and dedication of PRO-13 for the betterment of Caraga Region,” Caramat said. He added that the PRO13 does not condone these atrocious deeds and that the perpetrators will be meted with severe punishment. “I also encourage the public not to generalize the act of the suspects to the whole police organization but relive the contributions of the PNP in name of public safety and service,” Caramat said. (PNA) Meanwhile, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Dionardo B. Carlos said the erring police officers will undergo further investigation by Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and Internal Affairs Service. “The investigation will give the accused policemen the opportunity to present their side and explain their actions. Meantime, we will give them the benefit of the doubt until such time that all facts and evidence are established to build a case,” Carlos said

It also rejected his consolidated petitions to void the two resolutions of the Court of Appeals in 2013 and 2014, and the two subsequent orders of the Sandiganbayan in 2016 and 2017, that affirmed the Ombudsman’s decision to indict him for graft. As correctly held by the Ombudsman, the tribunal said the penalties imposed on Pichay for committing an administrative offense included perpetual disqualification from holding public office, cancellation of eligibility and forfeiture of retirement benefits. But Pichay maintained the Ombudsman has no authority to discipline the members of

Congress. He cited Section 21 of Republic Act 6770 which provides that the Ombudsman shall have disciplinary authority over all elective and appointive officials of the government and its subdivisions, instrumentalities and agencies, including cabinet members, local government, government- owned or controlled corporations and their subsidiaries. He however cited lawmakers in Congress and members of the judiciary can be removed from office only by impeachment process. “I respect the decision of the Supreme Court; however, I am determined to exhaust all possible legal remedies accorded to me by law, Pichay said. Pichay has lambasted his political opponents in Surigao del Sur of which he believed were behind the malicious filing of what he called nuisance petitions. “Digging of my old cases has become part of their political tools. Clearly, my opponents fear the voice of the people in Surigao del Sur come election day,” he said.
