316 captured, surrendered firearms “demilitarized” By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City: Exactly 316 captured and surrendered firearms of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) were “demilitarized” so they could not be used anymore, the military said Thursday. “Demilitarization” is the destruction of firearms by “cutting” its parts using a circular saw, whereby all firearm parts shall be rendered ineffective for use as a component or a complete firearm. Gen. Jose C. Faustino Jr,, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (CSAFP), led the ceremonial demilitarization of 316

firearms here Wednesday. Faustino said that the demilitarization of the firearms was part of the procedure that would ensure that the firearms could not be used anymore for other purposes. He said, that the demilitarization of firearms was a demonstration of the government’s commitment to end the local communist armed conflict by destroying the very instruments used to propagate terrorism against the people. Of the 316 demilitarized firearms, 88 were standard firearms, which were beyond economical repair and 228 were non-standard firearms Photo shows the military “cutting” into pieces one of the 316 captured and surrendered or firearms that were not in firearms of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) in a ceremonial rites known as “ the AFP’s inventory. demilitarization” in Camp Evangelista in Cagayan de Oro City. photo contributed

DAVAO CITY — The Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC) has expressed its support for the government’s Philippine Identification System (PhilSys). In a post on October 20, the HCDC called on students to register for PhilSys and get their national ID or Philippine ID (PhilID). “School has started again!

The school further noted the benefits of having a PhilID like using it when applying for a scholarship, See URGES, page 11

Warehouse full of imported onions raided by Customs in Cag. de Oro By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – After confiscating around P6 million worth of imported red onions from China, the Bureau of Customs in Cagayan de Oro has once again seized another batch of the agricultural product in a warehouse in Barangay Puntod recently.

Oliver Valiente, head of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service or CIIS, said the raid yielded about P5 million worth of red onions believed also to be from China. The raid was carried out on Oct. 22 based on the letter of authority issued by Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero.

The letter of authority has the same power as the search warrant and that it can be implemented anywhere in the country. Valiente said they can invoke the letter of authority in the conduct of raid in stores and warehouses to make sure that proper taxes are paid in the import of products.

Houses are outside the jurisdiction of the letter of authority. With the CIIS were personnel from the Phil. Coast Guard, Phil. National Police, and village officials. Also found at the warehouse were sacks of garlic, mung beans, and carrots.

R10 police vaccination now at 98 percent By MARK FRANCISCO

THE vaccination of police officers in Northern Mindanao has now reached 98 percent. This was reported on Wednesday by P/Lt. Col. Michelle Olaivar, the information officer of Police Regional Office 10 during the weekly Meet the Press at the Cagayan de Oro Press Club. Olaivar highlighted the importance of police officers to get vaccinated as they are one of the most vulnerable sectors in their daily operations. “We are in the frontlines of arresting suspects who come from various backgrounds. And in the course

of an arrest, we encounter suspects who happen to be Covid-positive,” Olaivar said, adding that police officers who are in the operation are automatically tested for coronavirus as a preventative measure. “In this situation, we can say that it is really important for police officers to be vaccinated,” she continued. Another situation where police officers are vulnerable to the pandemic is the conduct of roadside checkpoints here in Cagayan de Oro City which is still under heightened restriction status, albeit already on a general community quarantine level. “We encounter lain-lain

nga mga personalities sa dalan like mga motorists and mga pedestrians alike. So importante g’yud nga kami mismo magpa-vaccine,” Olaivar said. Yet, Olaivar emphasized that vaccination in the Philippine National Police (PNP) remains voluntary as with all employees in the country whether in the public and private sector. “We still adhere to the government’s policy that vaccination is a right and not necessarily mandatory,” she said, adding that less than five percent of the police force in Region 10 refuse to be vaccinated for personal reasons.

P33-M evac center completed in Gingoog City By NEF LUCZON

C A G AYA N D E O R O CITY - Construction of a PHP33-million evacuation center in Barangay Daan Lungsod, Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental has been completed, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 10 (Northern Mindanao). In a statement on Thursday, the DPWH-10 said the Barangay Daan Lungsod Evacuation Center formed part of the Duterte administration’s “Build, Build, Build” program in the area. “The new center has a standard covered court design with gender-sensitive and persons with disability (PWDs) accessibility to ensure the safety and inclusivity of all citizens in the area,” the DPWH-10 said. With a fully furnished kitchen, mess hall, reception, storage, breastfeeding room, conjugal room, admin office, record room, electrical room, and a stage and play area. The center aims to not only provide a safe space in times of disaster to the people but also serve as a suitable area for citizens to stay in. The DPWH-10 said the center was strategically positioned to provide a safe space specifically for communities near the riverbank. The new facility can

also be used for other recreational and communitybased activities on normal days. Flooding alert The completion of the center came following recent flooding incidents brought by heavy rains in several communities in the area. The Misamis Oriental Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Offices (PDRRMOs), however, assured the public that despite the floods, no casualties have been recorded. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration heightened the heavy rainfall alert level to the “yellow” code on Wednesday afternoon and lifted it at 2 a.m. Thursday. PDRRMO officer-incharge Fernando Dy said in an interview that floodwater in Barangay Poblacion, Gitagum had reached a kneedeep level on Wednesday night but eventually receded hours later. “In Opol town, some residents of City Homes in (Barangay) Malanang gathered in the covered court. Our PDRRMO, including barangay and municipal disaster responders, assisted them,” he said. The City DRRMO here, meanwhile, has managed to help affected residents See COMPLETED, page 10

DOLE to employers: Observe proper holiday pay rules amid pandemic DESPITE the crippling impact of the COVID-19 on the economy and businesses, the labor department reminded the employers in the private sector to comply with their legal obligation in providing proper wages to their workers for the declared

holidays in November 2021. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the government commiserates with various small and medium enterprises in the country who are struggling to survive due to the imposition of COVID-19 health pro-

tocols, however, the proper payment of wages for their workers, not only during the declared holidays, should not be compromised as stated under the law. Labor Advisory No. 19, series of 2021 issued by Acting Secretary Ana Dione

specified the proper computation of workers’ wages for the declared special non-working holiday on November 1, 2021, special working holiday on November 2, and for the regular holiday on November 30, See OBSERVE, page 10

ROCKINGHAM, North Carolina--I don’t want to count anymore the friends and acquaintances that died due to Covid-19 or whose secondary cause of death was Covid-19 as well as those who died during this pandemic. I am reminded of their deaths as we commemorate All Souls’ Day this year. Those that died due to Covid-19 or those that died during the pandemic were robbed of a dignified burial and the presence of their friends and relatives as only immediate family members are allowed to visit. These are difficult times indeed. The few allowed to mourn are required to wear face masks and in the Philippines, specifically in Cagayan de Oro City, they

are given 10 minutes to visit the graves of their departed loved ones. But what if the graves are located far away and the visitors are elderly or are handicapped? Here in the US, booster shots of vaccines like Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson and Johnson are being fasttracked to enable Americans to resist the more virulent Delta variant. While resistance to vaccination remains due to political beliefs or disbelief, there is a growing public acceptance of vaccines as a means to fight Covid-19. Anyone who read or heard the objections of cops or other Americans to undergo vaccination would know that the resistance was fueled by government orders to require employees to show proof of vaccina-

The vaccination of young adults are about to start. Again in the Philippines, specifically Cagayan de Oro City, the vaccination of youths aged 12 years old to 17 (18?) years old are supposedly scheduled sometime on November.

Kim’s Dream Disempowed People: Awakening Process Now Begins

How to Empower the Poor and the Oppressed?

OF the country’s resources, be natural or financial, three questions must now be asked: Who profits? Who decides? Who controls? We can categorically answer that in the Philippines, it is never the people but only a few elites, the ruling class, the landlords, the TNCs, the cartels, the conglomerates, the monopolies and if I may add, the most recent – some corrupt officials who like vultures have sucked the country dry of much needed budget when the country is in so much disarray because of the pandemic, Poverty is rooted, not in the lack of

resources but in the powerlessness of people to have access and control over their resources which are fast slipping through their fingers. That’s what development experts say. That’s what the people perceive now in the light of massive corruption. Look at Mindanao, so rich yet so poor. While the island oozes with ecological resources, poverty is glaring in the life of the peasants who must till the land not their own. And if they do, they are victims to a mode of production and marketing system that they do not control. The farmers have been “robbed” of farming,

using seeds and technologies which are not within their control but by big agri-business corporations. Feel the pains of our indigenous people. They have lived sustainably in the forest ecosystem for thousands of years but now the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest are almost gone and so are their “pharmacies,” their “marketplace,” notwithstanding that the forests are our invisible water dams, soil protector, climate regulator, carbon sink and “homes” to billions of flora and fauna many of See POOR, page 11

Have my say

The last word

THE last word is the best news of all. A happy ending after all? Really? We sense it at rare moments. We see the good, the beauty in new crops, in flowers, in sunshine, and even in rain. The last thunderstorm in Davao City scarred me a lot. Lightning, flood ... wow. This world may be full of pollution, war, crime, and hate. But inside us, all of us, linger remnants that remind us of what the world could be like - of what we could be like. The Old Testament prophets dreamed of “that day”, when creation would be made new. And those sensations, following a dismal monotone of predicted catastrophes, burst out of the last few chapters of Revelation. That perfect

world is not merely a dream. Yes, I am pretty sure, it will come true. I really enjoy reading Revelation again and again. Revelation shows us a new world at last. There will be no more tears then nor pain. Revelation ends on a note of great triumph. Somehow, out of all the bad news augured here, good news emerges -spectacular Good News. I remember my radio show hosting on a Good News Radio FM- station in Davao City more than 20 years ago. Yes, good news ... . To those who believe, Revelation becomes a book not of fear, but of hope. God will prevail. All will be made new. The Bible began, remember, back in Genesis,

Klaus Doring

with a tragic defeat, when humanity, made in the image of God, rebelled. It ends with a reunion - a marriage, Revelation calls it. A happy ending after all ... . A perfect world? How could you design it? What would it look like?

(CLI) broke ground on the 100-hectare Minglanilla Techno Business Park (Ming-Mori) reclamation in Minglanilla municipality in Metro Cebu. In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), it revealed that following initial site preparations this quarter, civil construction works are scheduled to begin in Q1 2022, side-by-side with various infrastructure improvements surrounding and leading towards the site. Thus, the ambitious regional growth center will be completed by 2025, according to CLI, which has an 80% stake in Ming-Mori Development Corporation and the developer of the technohub. Ming-Mori is expected to generate more than 700,000 sqm. of saleable land area

earmarked for light industrial, commercial, residential and institutional uses, the components of a dynamic community. On the other hand, the remaining 300,000 sqm will be dedicated for roads and the generous green and open spaces. Titling of these properties will be done in phases starting in 2023, in time for Phase 1 building construction by 2024 and the anticipated strong post-pandemic economic recovery in VisMin. The masterplan created by Surbana Jurong Consultants from Singapore, which has projects in 30 countries, will foster this regional growth center with a fully integrated port facility.

MB Opinion Requests on LGU Domestic Borrowings Increase in S1 2021 THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), in its continued commitment to transparency and good governance, releases summary information on the issuance of Monetary Board (MB) opinions to local government units (LGUs) on their proposed domestic borrowings. This summary provides the amount and

intended purpose of the proposed loans by LGUs as well as the dates of the MB opinion issuance. In the first semester (S1) of 2021, the BSP received 198 LGU requests for MB opinion on their proposed domestic borrowings with total proposed loan amount of P47.2 billion, higher by 23.8 percent than the

160 requests received in S2 2020, which amounted to P42.8 billion. By LGU type, the number of requests received in S1 2021 were disaggregated into 21 provinces (P13.0.billion), 18 cities (P15.0.billion), 157 municipalities (P19.1 billion), and two (2) barangays (P25.5.million). Meanwhile, a total of 184 MB opinions were issued on proposed LGU loans amounting to P44.8 billion in S1 2021, with details shown in the accom-

panying table. These MB opinion issuances include those that were rendered for 157 requests received in S1 2021 and those issued for 27 requests received in the previous year. The remaining 41 LGU requests for MB opinion received in S1 2021 will be processed upon submission of the complete set of requirements. The proposed loans of LGUs were largely intended for infrastructure projects, comprising 67.5 percent of the total pro-

posed loans. These infrastructure projects include the construction and/or improvement of government buildings, public markets, multi-purpose/convention/commercial buildings, farm-to-market and access roads, water system, health care facilities or hospitals, school buildings, sports complex or gymnasium, as well as public transport terminals, among others. Other proposed loans were intended for the acquisition of heavy equipment and

procurement of rescue and/ or service vehicles, accounting for 20.5 percent of the total proposed LGU loans. Meanwhile, 10.0 percent of the total proposed LGU loans were allocated for the acquisition of lots and site development for sanitary landfills, waste management or recovery facilities, as well as loan refinancing. Finally, the remaining 2.0 percent of the total proposed LGU loans were for the purpose of supporting the country’s

BDO Leasing & Finance, Inc. (BLFI) registered P39.8 million profit in 9M 2021 derived solely from fair value gain from investments in Unit Trust Investment Funds (UITFs). Of the P6.0 billion of BDOLF’s assets as of end-September 2021, almost all of P5.9 billion

was invested in UITFs. The 9M 2021 results were lower compared to P134.6 million earnings a year ago, as last year’s earnings were based on a balance sheet prior to the full implementation of the restructuring of BDO Unibank Group’s leasing

business. This entailed the sale of substantially all of BLFI’s assets to BDO Unibank, BDO Life, and BDO Finance Corporation. BLFI ceased to operate as a leasing company and completed the assignment and transfer of its leasing and financing business to

an affiliate, BDO Finance Corporation on October 19, 2020. BDO Finance was established to offer customers continued access to lease products and services, and likewise assumed the lease transactions booked in BFLI to ensure continuity to the latter’s existing clients.

Republic Act (RA) 11593, which was inked by Duterte on Thursday, moves the date of the BARMM parliamentary and regional elections to May 2025, synchronized with the next mid-term elections. “The Commission on Elections, through the Bangsamoro Electoral Office, shall promulgate rules and regulations for the conduct of the elections, enforce and administer them pursuant to national laws, this Organic Law and the Bangsamoro Election Code,” the law read. During the extension of the transition period, the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) will continue to serve as the BARMM interim government. The President, however, may appoint the 80 new interim members of the BTA who will serve until June 30, 2025 or until the election of their successors, according to RA 11593. RA 11593, which was made public on Friday,

takes effect 15 days after its complete publication in the Official Gazette or at least one newspaper of general circulation. “If any of the provisions of this Act is held unconstitutional, provisions not affected shall remain valid and binding,” the law said. “All laws, decrees, and all other issuances or parts thereof, which are inconsistent with this Act, are hereby repealed, amended, or modified accordingly.” Several groups have called for the extension of the BTA’s term to give it more time to finish its task in restructuring the Bangsamoro government. The BTA, a provisional law-making body of the BARMM created through Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), is currently under a transition phase. Under the BOL, the transition period is only three years from 2019 with an election of new BARM officials also scheduled on May 9, 2022, coinciding with the local and national polls. BARMM officials have wanted to skip the scheduled 2022 elections for the region and move it to 2025 to complete transitional programs and projects for the constituents hampered by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

“ The government plans to distribute P1 billion in aid to PUV drivers. But your president has asked where the money will end up. From the national government, the funds would pass through the local government, and will be validated by several government agencies - but may not reach the intended beneficiaries,” he said at a meeting in Lipa City, Batangas with leaders and members of the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of

the Philippines (Fejodap) and Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association (TODA). “ I have repeatedly stressed this - that if our efforts to help will not be data-driven, we cannot achieve our goal,” he emphasized. In pushing for a datadriven approach, Lacson noted many Filipinos who needed cash aid (ayuda) under Bayanihan 1 did not get the needed assistance because the government

used outdated records dating back to 2015. Lacson, whose father was a jeepney driver, added that when he pushed for aid amounting to P5.58 billion for PUV drivers under Bayanihan 2, an oversight review showed only one percent of the fund was actually distributed. “Don’t we continue to see PUV drivers in the streets begging for help because they lost their livelihood?” he said.

Bank Lending Grows by 2.7 Percent, Year-on-Year, in September

PRELIMINARY data show that outstanding loans of universal and commercial banks (U/KBs), net of reverse repurchase (RRP) placements with the BSP, rose by 2.7 percent yearon-year in September, faster than the 1.3-percent ex-

pansion in August. The observed increase in outstanding loans of U/KBs reflects the modest recovery in banks’ overall lending attitudes along with improved economic prospects owing to the gradual lifting of pandemic containment

measures. On a month-onmonth seasonally-adjusted basis, outstanding universal and commercial bank loans, net of RRPs, went up by 0.6 percent. Outstanding loans to residents, net of RRPs, grew by 3.2 percent in September

from 2.0 percent in the previous month, driven by a recovery in loans for production activities. Outstanding loans for production activities grew by 4.4 percent in September from 3.1 percent in August, driven mainly by the expansion in

loans for real estate activities (7.2 percent); information and communication (26.6 percent); financial and insurance activities (6.0 percent); and manufacturing (4.4 percent). However, the decline in outstanding loans

Macaayong shared that his administration has taken steps since his assumption of duty until the present wherein they reactivated the Merit Selection Board responsible for the hiring and promotion of the administrative staff, and approved the Merit Selection Plan of the university to ensure that only best and committed employees will comprise the ranks of administrative and support staff of the university system.

Optimism in Learning Innovation Nurtures E-Learners. (ONLINE) By: MARY CARESS T. GALONO

The Department of Education is slowly recovering from the unprecedented health crisis brought by Covid-19 pandemic. Academic Institutions thought on how are we going to deliver educational instruction to the learners considering that Face to Face is not permitted and Modular Distance Learning have several unfavorable feedback from the parents. It was then that our principal, Dr. Marivic D. Labitad challenged the Special Program in the Arts of Agusan National High School headed by Teacher Mary Caress T. Galono to create Bichronous Classes. With the positive intention that it will surely help our learners, and with the confidence to the Agusan NHS teachers that we can deliver it, the Bichronous Online Learning Modality was implemented. It has one section per grade level with an average Class Size of 35 learners from grade 7 to 10. Bichronous Online Learning is the combination of both asynchronous and synchronous online learning, where learners can participate in anytime and anywhere during the asynchronous classes and in real-time activities for the synchronous sessions. It connects teachers and learners, and help them develop a more advanced mindset. It gains different perspectives and offers doors to new opportunities in learning. It likewise helps both teachers and learners develop skills that will prepare them well in their future endeavors. The pandemic has taught teachers to be more creative and innovative in adapting to this new normal and we started it by sharing our thoughts through orienting the parents of our dear learners. A series of virtual orientation was conducted from Grade 7 to 10. It was just sad to note that due to the misinformation given and negativity ahead, some of the parents backedout and so with the learners.

was sad and frustrating but with the optimism and courage driven by the great intention to help the learners to gain quality education, it was successfully realized.. Despite the uncertainties, we continue to think on ways on how to do Online Learning. We had a survey on teachers from Grade 7 to 10, who are willing to be trained and teach Bichronous Online Classes. To explore the usage of the Online Platforms in teaching, we conducted a Learning Action Cell with our very own techy and smart Resource Persons in Agusan NHS, Mr. Wilfredo L. Belono Jr. and Mr. Mike Louie V. Vallar. We also attended several Webinars conducted by the Department Education from Division to National level. We realized that Online Platforms are quite challenging, but now, it’s very easy to manipulate and the exploration was fun. It’s just that in order for us to learn, we need to have strong determination, purpose, focus and a lot of patience. In this new normal, we realized that as teachers we need to adapt to these challenging times and 21st century teaching skills. The emergence of information and communication technologies and connectivity of internet improve learner’s opportunities to be proactive in learning despite the pandemic. The school made an investment to provide an E-Classroom with Internet Connection, Laptop for Bichonous Teachers, TV, lights, sound system, headsets, camera and other materials needed for Online Class. The parents and learners purchased gadgets and subscribed internet connectivity to support the continuation of their child’s schooling. With shared values of MakaDiyos, Maka-kalikasan, Makatao at Makabansa, we continue to work together towards the success in this SY 2021-2022. Forward Agusan National High School, the Ace of the East!

STRONG feelings around vaccination are nothing new. Claims that link measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to autism and opposition to measles vaccination that triggered outbreaks in California are recent examples. People who were against smallpox immunizations for example ran advertisements, wrote to newspapers and formed anti-vaccine organizations as seen in news clippings from the 1860s to the 1950s. In other words, although the furor over vaccines feels like a modern experience, disagreements throughout history reveal many similarities. There are a lot of parallels - many of the same exact arguments.

stark political alignments by party that we see under Covid which were there in some ways before but became very prominently organized by party. Those are only differences of degree though because there has long been an anti-government backing of anti-vaccine sentiments. The anti-vaccination movement questioned the data released by health authorities and accused politicians, doctors and pharmaceutical companies of conspiring to act on their economic interests rather than health considerations. Much of that movement was predicated on widespread concern about the safety of smallpox vaccine as well as a belief that vaccination laws are a tyrannical violation of individual liberty.

The said provision requires the government, its political subdivisions or instrumentalities, to request the MB to render its opinion on the monetary and external sector implications of their proposed loans prior to undertaking any credit operation. This provision of the law stems from the BSP’s role as the government’s advisor on official credit operations.

the Philippines may slowly pick up pace to become a race especially now that the November 15 deadline for the final slate of candidates for the 2022 elections are inching closer than ever. The benefits of the rising vaccination in the US and other First World countries is cascading to less developed countries like the Philippines which are receiving more vaccines for their populations. But while the vaccination in other parts of the country are moving fast, Cagayan de Oro City is said to be experiencing a slowdown, no thanks to continued resistance and disbelief on the benefits of vaccination. The problem is exacerbated by the refusal of said unvaccinated people to comply with minimum public health standards. You think the videos of Americans defiantly entering restaurants, stores and other establishments sans face masks and getting up close and personal with facemask wearing clerks and attendants happen only in the US, but no it’s also happening in the Philippines. That said, Pinoys are more likely to make palusot (sneaking) than be confrontational on defying the nationwide health emergency mandate to comply with minimum public health protocols due to what I believe to be more widespread support to the government’s campaign and disdain to those caught violating said protocols. ******** In Cagayan de Oro City, the vaccination campaign somewhat slowed down from a high of over 5,000 vaccinations daily which is surprising after City Hall under Mayor Oscar Moreno’s administration added more vaccination venues in the city’s schools and even deployed a mobile vaccination setup to reach residents in the hinterland barangays. While it’s encouraging to see fewer COVID-19 cases and more notably, fewer deaths compared to the surges that occurred starting in April and reaching its highest in August, the war against the virus remained unfinished as Mayor Moreno would like to remind every now and then. In fact, City Hall is now facing unlikely pressure to open more businesses due

precisely to the declining cases. In this respect, Mayor Moreno thankfully has support from the general public to be cautious and prepared in the opening of more businesses. It wasn’t too difficult to secure public support for restricted commercial activities during the height of the surges even during the fiesta month of August when the city was placed under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ). But the end to 2021 is fast approaching and more business owners and especially displaced employees have grown weary of the quarantine restrictions and now want to return to work. Understandable sentiments of course but the risk of another Covid-19 surge with the unrestrained re-opening of more businesses. The risk will be reduced significantly if more people are vaccinated and the numbers are the evidence of this position. Bottomline, if Filipinos particularly Kagay-anons want to return to their old way of life prior to the pandemic, they must be vaccinated NOW not later or never. Only by being vaccinated can we prevent deaths, lingering illnesses caused by Covid-19 and experience faster recoveries as well as a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. For now may we commemorate a meaningful All Saints Day and All Souls Day this year.

How about our ordinar y consumers? How powerless they are as they are consuming what they are not producing! Yes, our country has become a dumping ground of finished products and cheap source of raw materials. It is a pity that everything sold in this country, from needle to tractor, passes at least five marketing layers so that a P0.35-medicine (Lipitor pill) bought in India is sold here at P85; a bag of ammonium sulfate bought in Ukraine at P50 is sold in Mindanao at P1,000. How powerless our people have become, hardly benefitting from so called development, like sparrows picking on what have already passed the digestive system of “sacred cows!” Today, the people are serving notice to one and all that they have awakened. Enough is enough. They will not allow anymore poverty to reign in this beautiful, resource-rich but povertystricken country. They will now give credence to the constitutional mandate that “sovereignty resides in the people and all government authorities emanate from them.” Only then can they be unfettered from the vicious cycle of poverty and craft their own destiny Gising na po!

behavior of Revamonte. “The Division assures the public that it will be taking the necessary legal action to immediately address the incident,” the SDO-Panabo City said in a statement sent to the media. The statement also said that it is reserving its won judgment to give its personnel due process. A show cause order was already sent to Revamonte to report to the DepEd office and explain his side on the reported incident that went viral on the internet since Sunday afternoon. In an interview with Newsline, Information Officer Lt Domingo Ranain said Mr Celestino Revamonte, Jr, the school principal of Narciso Galapin Elementary School, may face administrative and criminal charges, with a fine of at least P100,000 and imprisonment of not less than six years, if found guilty and convicted of the case. “Sa kadto nga kaso pwede to siya ma-file-an ug “grave threats” Sa penalty nahulog na siya sa Arresto Menor,” the police officer said. It can be recalled that on Sunday, the delivery man went to the house of the Revamonte to deliver a parcel ordered by his wife. To the surprise of the couple the item his wife ordered is not the one she ordered from the online seller, and so the argument ensued between his wife and the delivery man. At first, Revamonte was only listening to the arguments, and in a few minutes, he immediately pulled off a scissor and shouted vindictiveness at the delivery man. Revamonte then allegedly threaten to stab Bayarcal if the delivery man won’t refund the money in the amount of Three Hundred pesos (P300). For his part, the rider explained the protocols on mistaken items as well as how they would be refunded by the seller. Bayarcal explained that they need to contact the seller thru its website in order to claim for refund. But the couple would not listen to the rider’s pleading that he was only the delivery man of the parcel and he has no power to refund, aside from the fact that he has no money to give. The incident later became viral as someone in the vicinity of the place recorded it and posted on social media - more particularly on Facebook.-
