HIV infects 1,000 in Gensan, 52 positive VOL. 2, No. 189

GENERAL Santos City–– With the confirmed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) cases here now at 51, local health authorities warned on Friday that around a thousand more in the area may have already been infected and possible carriers of the deadly disease. Dr. Mely Lastimoso, coordinator of the City In-

ITCZ, northeast monsoon will bring rain to PH: Pagasa

MANY parts of the country will experience rains due to the effects of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and northeast monsoon or “hanging amihan.” Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Saturday that the northeast monsoon will be affecting Luzon while ITCZ affecting Southern Mindanao. In its advisory, PAGASA said that Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms while Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon will experience cloudy skies with light rains. The rest of the Luzon, including Metro Manila will have a mix weather of sunny to partly cloudy skies with brief rainshower mostly in the afternoon or evening due to the localized convection. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail throughout the country and the coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Strong to gale-force winds associated with the surge of the northeast monsoon may affect the seaboards of the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon, the eastern seaboard of Visayas and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao, PAGASA said. “Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves,” it said. pna

The official said that in the last three weeks, four more local residents have turned out positive of HIV based on the initial screen-

Buseco pays real property tax Last December 17, 2012 BUSECO paid the amount of Php4, 659,291,028 for Real Property Tax (RPT) to the Provincial Government of Bukidnon thru Mrs. Teodroa D. Dinlayan, the Provincial Treasurer. A ceremonial turn-over was made in front of the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Bukidnon with the pres-

ence of Hon. Clive D. Quino, Hon. Jay S. Albarece, Hon. Nemesio B. Beltran, Hon. Manuel I. Dinlayan, Hon. Gordon M. Torres, Hon. Alfeo U. Baguio during their 48th Session last December 17, 2012 at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Session Hall, Capitol Ground, Malaybalay City. BUSECO paid for the year 2011 and 2012 the

amount of Php3,328,065,020 and an advance payment for 2013 in the amount of Php1,331,226,008 from a total billing of 1,664,032,060 because it has availed a discount of 20% which cost Php332,806.00. Accordingly, the discount availed by BUSECO would redound to the member-consumerowners (MCOs) because it will already be reduced in

the recovery which will be collected from them thru their billing. The coop therefore is current in its payment and obligation to the provincial government being its partner in the development of the province. The coop is just compliant on its obligation to the province based on its

South Cotabato second district Rep.

She said her office is presently identifying the areas that would be covered by the project, which will be concentrated in non-

Fuentes said the project will be implemented through power distribution utility South Cotabato I Electric Cooperative (Socoteco I).

Think a minute. How will you celebrate Christmas? With presents and Christmas songs? A big feast with your family? It’s funny how our birthday is such a big, important event to us when we’re children. We can hardly wait a whole year before our next birthday. But when we’re older, it’s the opposite.

life every day. Jesus does not want us to have religion. He wants us to have a daily, personal relationship with Him. This is why Jesus died and came back to life: so you could be forgiven and free from your past, wrong life. He’ll show you how to start living His right, successful way everyday for the rest of your life. So why not make today the greatest day of your life? You can be born again right now, if you’ll just ask Jesus for His free gift of forgiveness and your new life. It’s the most important choice you’ll ever make, and the one you’ll never regret. Just Think a Minute.

The word ‘below poverty line’ was based on individual or family daily earnings of US$1. 00 (P40.00) to US$2. 00 (P80.00) compared to the prices of commodities in the world market. However, this figure is uncertain. In the first place, we did not know how the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) got the figure. We know that the CIA has deployed several ‘core collectors’ in the country. These ‘core collectors’ must have collected base information which was relayed to its ‘national clandestine office.’ The NCO made the calculation. We expressed doubt on the CIA figure since a survey conducted by SWS first quarter of January 2012 tallied a very contrasting figure. The SWS survey was carried by a GMA News Online report on its Wednesday (Dec. 19, 2012) content, which states: ‘The number of Filipino households that consider themselves poor surged in the first quarter of 2012, rising to 11.1 million from 9.1 million in December 2011.’ The SWS survey conducted last March 10 to 13, 2011 was published by Business World which noted that 55 percent of respondents, or the equivalent to some 11.1 million families, claimed to be mahirap (poor), 10 points higher than December’s 45 percent or 9.1 million households. SWS described the survey as “self-poverty” survey saying poverty in Mindanao and in rural areas increased sharply by 34 points to 72 points the highest in eight years, or since November 2003’s 77 percent. The SWS survey used face-to-face interviews of 1,200 adults nationwide. Sampling error margins of ±3% for national and ±6% for area percentages applied to the survey, the GMA report said. Without doubt, this Christmas as in many past Christmases only the rich and politicians in the Philippines enjoy the holidays. For us who lived below and within the threshold of poverty, it is ‘as always’ a very ‘Weary Christmas.’ React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

AS the times and the technology become more complex and sophisticated, so do the crimes. There have been alarming reports of the emergence (and the growing number) of cyber threats to the financial services industry. According to a 2012 study by Norton, a leading security software company, the number of attacks worldwide have gone up by 42 percent while the cost of global cyber crime has reached US$110 billion annually. “(The) new generation of viruses, worms, Trojans, and spyware has the poten-

This information is especially important because as of September 30, 2012, 51 banks in the country have proprietary internet and mobile banking systems, while 36 banks have sub-

scribed to Bancnet Online to provide Internet services or “act as another gateway.” The total number of ATMS and point of sale (POS) terminals deployed has reached 13,109 and 89,253, respectively. According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, cardholders now number about 46.7 million.

Last September 17, 2012, the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) issued a warning to US financial institutions about cyber criminals “using tools such as phishing and spam emails in an effort to hack financial networks and drain online accounts via unauthorized wire transfers.” Just last December 7, 2012, leading global business news and information organization The Financial Times reported that hackers have stolen more than 36 million euros from more than 30,000 online banking THREATS | page 10

JV: Tobacco farmers need help

SAN Juan City Representative JV Ejercito Estrada chided the Aquino government for its failure to draw up a program for hundreds of thousands of tobacco farmers and workers who are at risk of being displaced once the Sin Tax Reform Act is implemented. Ejercito Estrada noted that the Department of Agriculture (DA) has been earmarked a budget of P74.1 billion in 2013 but not a single peso was allocated to fund an initiative to help tobacco farmers plant other crops. “I have no quarrel with the proponents of sin tax law, as long as the revenues derived from it will redound to the benefit of millions of Filipinos,” Ejercito Estrada said. “But we just cannot

ignore the plight of those who stand to lose their livelihood.” President Benigno Aquino III signed the sin tax bill into law “as an early Christmas gift to millions of Filipinos.” Aquino said the law would generate close to P40 billion in additional revenues which would be used to expand the government’s social services program. Ejercito Estrada, however, noted that the thousandfold increase in excise tax for cigarettes will threaten the livelihood of farmers, workers and even vendors as cigarette factories will be forced to slash their output or stop operating altogether due to the drastic drop in cigarette consumption. “We need to do something for the 1.93 million Filipinos--farmers, factory workers, vendors, and their families--who stand to be affected,” he said. According to the National Tobacco Administration, the Philippines produces 58 million kilograms of Virginia, burley, Turkish and native tobacco varieties annually. A total of 30,352 hectares in 23 provinces are planted to this crop.

A lawmaker is seeking to raise the basic personal exemption for individual taxpayers to P75,000 from the present P50,000, and the additional exemption for taxpayers’ dependents to P40,000 from the present P25,000 to ease the income tax burden of ordinary working people. Rep. Antonio Tinio (Partylist, ACT Teachers) said his proposal will allow the lowest paid government employee to take home a non-taxable income of at least 69 percent of his or her annual pay, while assuring the middle-level government employee and the minimum wage earner of 34 percent and 53 percent of their incomes, respectively. The present basic personal exemption now stands at 46 percent of the annual salary of the lowest paid government employee with Salary Grade 1 at P9,000 per month, 22 percent of that of a middle-level government employee with Salary Grade 1 at P18,549 per month, 3 percent of that of the President with Salary Grade 33 at P120,000 per month, and 35 percent of that of the minimum wage earner with P11, 780 per month. Tinio, a Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture, said his proposal adheres to the constitutional mandate that taxation must be equitable and progressive. “By these principles, in-

come earners from the lowest strata, especially purely compensation income earners, are to be taxed less and given more opportunities to decrease their taxable incomes. They comprise the majority of the income taxpayer base, and the State can do no less than increase the amounts they can take home to their families,” he said. Looking at the adjustments to the personal exemptions in the past two decades, he said Congress has been slow to respond to the needs of the people by increasing these amounts in a timely manner to keep up with the rising cost of living. Tinio cited in 1991, under Republic Act 7167, the basic personal exemption varied from P9,000 to P18,000, depending on the status of the taxpayer, while the additional exemption amounted to P5,000 per dependent. In 1997, under RA 8424, the basic personal exemption was raised to P20,000 to P32,000 and the additional exemption to P8,000 per dependent. The latest adjustment was done in 2008 through RA 9504 which raised basic personal exemption to P50,000 and the additional exemption to P25,000 per dependent. But four years later, he said the exemptions have remained at such amounts despite the rising costs which assault daily the family.

AGRI-FINANCING CREDIT FORUM. Farmer’s associations and cooperatives, organization2 and agribusiness coordinators in Region 10 gains information on the available credit opportunities that they can access in support to the government’s thrust of increased agricultural production to attain food security. Mr. Norman S. Kraft (right), ACPC Director for Public Affairs Information Service facilitates the credit-matching activity that links potential borrowers to financing credit institutions deemed fit to cater their specific needs.

Agri-financing credit opportunities presented

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – In order to facilitate linkages between farmers and financing credit institutions to ultimately boost agricultural production, the Department of Agriculture- 10 (DA-10) through the Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD) in coordination with the Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) held a forum on Agri-finance Credit in this city. According to Ms. Honey Gladys S. Valledor, DAAMAD 10 OIC Chief the activ it y aims to impar t and update farmers and other agri-clienteles on the available agricultural credit opportunities within the government and to provide pertinent information on how to access such windows. ACPC is tasked to synchronize all credit policies and programs in support to DA’s priority programs as stipulated in Executive Order 113. With the ratification of the Agriculture and Fisheries As defined by law, personal exemptions are amounts which are deducted from a citizen or resident alien’s gross income to arrive at a lesser income that may be subjected to tax (known as the net or taxable income).” In House Bill 6723, Tinio sought the amendment of Section 35 of RA 8424 otherwise known as the Tax Reform Act of 1997, as amended by RA 9504. Section 35 pertains to the allowance of personal exemption for individual taxpayer. Sub-section A provides there shall be allowed a basic personal exemption amounting to P75,000 for each individual taxpayer. Sub-section B provides there shall be allowed an additional exemption of P40,000 for each dependent not exceeding four.

Modernization Act of 1997 (R A 8435), the umbrella financing program for the agriculture and fisheries sector of the DA was also created and known as the Agro-Industry Modernization Credit and Financing Program (AMCFP). Under the AMCFP, there are four programs with varied types of financing schemes that can cater to different types of agi-clients. These include: Cooperatives AgriLending Program (CALP) with the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP); Agri-Microfinance Program for Small Farmers and Fisherfolk (AMP) with People’s Credit and Finance Corporation (PCFC); AMCFP-Cooperative Banks Agri-Lending Program (AMCFP-CBAP);

and DA-ACPC – Land Bank Sikat Saka Program. Prior to the implementation of AFMA, Mr. Norman S. Kraft, ACPC Director for Public Affairs Information Service revealed that most often than not, projects are only focused in providing financing assistance for production inputs. With AMCFP, he added, everything is covered from pre-production to postharvest. Likewise, services offered and financing schemes of the Agricultural Guarantee Fund Pool (AGFP) and credit financing institutions in the region such as First Valley Bank, Land Bank of the Philippines and Cooperative Bank of Misamis Oriental were also presented in the forum.

To finally link the participants with the various financing institutions, a credit-matching activity was also conducted at the end of the forum. With the activity at hand, DA-ACPC would be able to match organizations based on their business profile as to the financing institution fit to cater their specific needs. For interested credit applicants you may contact the Department of AgricultureAgribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (DAAMAD 10) through the Regional Agri-Credit Desk Officer Ms. Honey Gladys S. Valledor with telephone numbers 856-2753 to 55, local 211. # (VANESSA MAE S. SIANO, DA-RAFID 10)

customers in Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands “using a new two-stage Trojan virus.” In addition to these, information technology (IT) experts from Trend Micro, Inc., a Japan-based security company, have observed that cyber criminals are moving to the Asia Pacific because 46 percent of internet traffic emanates from this region. The Asia Pacific region, according to Trend Micro, registers 2.9 billion mobile subscribers. This observation was further supported by Russian internet security firm Kaspersky Labs, which predicted that Southeast Asia “will be one of the most vulnerable regions in the world to cyber attacks, with criminals taking advantage of rising incomes and growing online banking activities in countries like the Philippines.” Cyber threats have also become politically motivated. Throughout September and October 2012, a number of big banks in the United States suffered distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks on their websites. A radical Muslim group protesting the production of a short film mocking the Prophet Mohammad claimed responsibility for the attacks. Philippine government websites also suffered defacements from hacktivists (hacker-activists) who wanted to “shout” their opinions on the Scarborough Shoal and the controversial AntiCyber Crime Law. The BSP, for its part, has plans to coordinate with banking industry associations and IT security experts to tackle the seriousness of these cyber threats and the necessity for effective business continuity plans. There is indeed a need to be especially vigilant in light of all these threats. Awareness is key to successfully combat this modern global menace. --Note: You may email us at totingbunye2000@ gmail.com.

Ac cording to TS G, which had been working on the exposé for several months, the 44-year-old former track star worked for Haley Heston’s Private Collection, billed as one of the premiere escort services in Las Vegas. Favor Hamilton, who is married to her college sweetheart and has a sevenyear-old daughter, admitted she was booking “dates” in cities throughout the country including Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston. She told TSG her husband Mark was aware of her escort work and said “he tried to get me to stop” and that “he wasn’t supportive at all.” While Favor Hamilton used the name “Kelly” as an alias with most of her clients, she told TSG she did share her true identity with several of her male “dates,” believing they would keep her secret and honor a code of silence. “Everybody in this world makes mistakes. I made a huge mistake. Huge,” she said. Since Thursday, Favor Hamilton has also posted comments on her Twitter account trying to explain her reasons for joining the escort service: Although Favor Hamilton said she made a mistake, she told TSG that working as an escort service was “exciting” and a diversion from her life as a real estate broker. Favor Hamilton posted on her Twitter account on Thursday that she is “seeking the help of a psychologist” and “and will continue to do so after I have put things together.” The escort service also deleted Favor Hamilton’s from page 12 photos earlier this month Cebu, have expressed at her request. interest to join.

The tournament, spearheaded by the Cebu Amateur Football Club (CAFC) in coordination with Sinulog Foundation and Cebu City government, will only accept 16 teams per category. However, they will try to be lenient if some categories will have fewer teams to accommodate those that have many teams signed up. “We will check with other categories if there’s still slots so we can insert,” said Greg Balsicas of CAFC. A club from Zamboanga had also reserved a slot in the men’s open. The teams will have the final meeting and the deadline of payment of registration fee on Jan. 5 next year.

The Department of Education (DepEd)-ARMM, he said, has settled the P5million debts of the Marawi City Division and the P14million debts of Basilan Division. Hataman said they are now in the process of pay-

ing the some P1.9-billion debts of the department to the GSIS. The Governor also announced that the DepEdARMM, in the implementation of financial reforms, has saved P224,227,269.90 which will be used in paying the salary differentials and backpays of teachers. DepEd-ARMM has also generated P135 million that may be utilized for the repair of classrooms and purchase of school chairs, he added. Citing statistics from the Enhanced Basic Education Information System, Hataman said the region lacked 5,057 classrooms, 3,479 teachers, and almost half billion of school chairs in 2011. He, however, announced that DepEd-ARMM has launched programs and projects dubbed “37 Firsts of DepEd-ARMM” to raise the quality of education in the region. Included in these are various support and training assistance from different organizations such as PLDT-SMART Foundation, SEAMEO-INNOTECH, Synergia, AMORE, AAI, UNICEF, GIZed-Fit For School, USAID and Ronald McDonald, as well as the construction of learning centers in remote areas by BRAC. Hataman said the Australian government is also actively supporting the region and has provided P3.97 billion through the Basic Education Assistance for Muslim Mindanao Program which includes early childhood and basic education, school health, techvoc training for out-of-school youth. The Governor also made mentioned that a total of 6,540 scholars are currently benefiting from the programs of the Technical Educational and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) while 607 are being served by the scholarship program of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

detonator despite the various checkpoints put up within and outside Davao City. “The action of the police and military is limited when it comes to checkpoints,” noted Davao City Police Office Chief Col. Ronald Dela Rosa, though, the Task Force Davao (TFD) knows how to conduct checkpoints through the “plain view doctrine” and, in extreme situation, would unload passengers and check the vehicles. During the special session of the City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) Monday at the City Hall, Mayor Sara Duterte expressed concern whether authorities manning the checkpoints know how to profile and identify suspected terrorists. TFD spokesperson Lt. Col. Gerry Besana said they only check people randomly “to avoid discrimination.” “It’s not discrimination if it involves security and safety,”

Duterte said. She added, “Your people should know what to look for. You have to think like a terrorist.” Duterte told responsible agencies and units of the CPOC that crisis-management should have been activated the moment the intelligence information was known and should have coordinated in clearing the civilians. Duterte added that the city should implement its “integrated security plan” because “terrorists would strike especially when we are not ready.” The City’s 911, she said, was only made aware of the incident when they responded to a call that there was a riot. Cautious police operations Dela Rosa said Kahar was initially spotted by an intelligence unit at the old Sampaguita Inn in downtown Davao. Later, the suspect was seen booked at the new inn’s building, a few meters away, with a woman identified as one Anabelle Lee. Dela Rosa said, that time, he decided not to conduct an assault operation using the Swat (Special Weapons and Tactics) team. “Baka pag pasukin natin, pasabugin sa loob ng kwarto, marami ang madadamay,” he said. He added he convinced the hotel management instead to go to the suspect’s room and tell them that the inn “reserves the right to deny entry for any undesirable client” but the couple was said to have refused the warning. Later the inn management told the couple that if the latter won’t come out, the police will be called. It was then that Lee said they will go down. Dela Rosa said he immediately identified the couple when he saw Lee in her “ninja” garb, carrying a backpack suspected to be loaded with a bomb. He then immediately grabbed Lee while another officer went for Kahar. “You want the bomb? You want the bomb? I will explode it! Shoot me!,” Kahar allegedly shouted as he showed a blinking mobile phone. “I could’ve shot him immediately,” Dela Rosa said. But he, like the other police officers, intelligence operatives and the people in the lobby, rushed towards the door. Dela Rosa recounted that Kahar was able to go out the hotel holding Lee close to him. But the suspect, he added, later let go of Lee and carried with him the backpack and the mobile phone as he ran towards the People’s Park. Unable to enter the crowded park where the guards where already alerted, Kahar ran instead towards the nearby Apo View Hotel. It was then that a police operative shot and killed him. Better alive than dead “Maybe next time, because you have a Swat, just severely injure (the suspect). A dead person is useless, we couldn’t ask him questions and we end up asking what-ifs,” Duterte told Col. Dela Rosa. For the mayor, more information could have been extracted had the police not killed Kahar. She also told the police that “(i)t would have been better if you have cleared the area. Nakalimutan na yung civilians na hindi natin nasecure kaagad.” (John Rizle L. Saligumba/davaotoday.com)

with Ejercito Estrada. In his speech, Hataman said enumerated the problems besetting the ARMM and the solutions the government is doing in addressing them. He made particular mention of the lack of school buildings and teachers in the ARMM, including the huge debts it accumulated over the decades under different governors. He said the Australian government is actively supporting efforts to address some of the problems in ARMM through the so-called Basic Education Assistance for Muslim Mindanao in collaboration with the Department of Education in the region. “Inaasahan natin na sa pagdating ng 2013, ay makakapagpatayo tayo ng 2,950 na school building at malamang ay mahihigitan pa natin ito dahil sa 2,500 school-building projects ng BEAM-ARMM na kabahagi ng P3.9 bilyon na tulong mula sa Aus-AID at Australian government. Kung kaya’t maraming salamat sa Australian government, maraming salamat sa Aus-AID,” Hataman, who delivered his statement in Pilipino, said. “Ang kakulangan natin sa mga guro ay mapupunuan na rin po natin pagdating ng 2013. Nangako po si Pangulong Aquino at ng DBM at maibibigay sa atin ng mahigit 2000 item ng kakulangan pagdating sa 2013. Sa kabuuan, ang mga kakulangang nabanggit ay tuluyan na mapupunuan sa patuloy na pag-lilinis ng DepEd-ARMM sa talaan ng estudyante. Ang ating paglilinis ay nagbigay daan sa pagdiskubre ng 75,229 ghost students nuong taong 2012,” he added. Hataman also announced that they are now in the process of paying some P1.9 billion in overdue debts, mostly from unremitted payments of employees accumulated in the pasts, to Government Service Insurance System. “Eto po ang magandang balita, at sa susunod na taon, ay tuluyan na nating mababayaran ang kabuuang utang ng DepED-ARMM na humigit-kumulang po ng P1.9 billion alinsunod sa pangako at kagustuhan ng Pangulong Aquino na matuldukan na ang utang na ito. Pero eto po ang sambit ng ating pangulo, kung sino ang nagwaldas ng pera ng GSIS ay dapat lamang po na pananagutin natin. Hindi po pwede walang magbabayad dito sa utang na ito at hindi rin daw pwede, sabi ng ating Pangulo na walang managot at makulong sa P1.9 billion na ito,” he said. He also praised Education Sec. Jamar Kulayan for his efforts and reforms in fighting corruption in the Department of Education that resulted to the eradication of “ghost teachers and students” and huge savings for the government . “Dahil sa pagsusumikap ng DepEd sa pagpapatupad ng repormang pinansyal, nakalikom ito ng P224,227,269 at kung kaya’t inatasan na natin si Sec. Jamar Kulayan na magsimula ng pagbayad ng back pays at salary differential ng 2011 at 2012,” Hataman said. For his closing remark, Hataman appealed for more support from Muslims and Christians alike, to help the government in reforming the ARMM and transform the region into an economic hub in the southern Philippines. “Mga kababayan, sama-sama nating ituloy ang ating naumpisahang reporma. Alalahanin natin na kung walang mulat na mamamayan na nagsusulong ng reporma, walang saysay kahit ano pa mang ganda at porma ng pamamahalaang maitatatag.

Former Olympian track star work as ‘prostitute’ WASHINGTON––Three-time US Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton has admitted to taking her talents off of the track and into the bedroom over the last year, doubling as a US$ 600-an-hour prostitute, a career change that she now regrets and calls a “huge mistake.” “I was drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for

me when I was going through a very challenging time with my marriage and my life,” Favor Hamilton wrote on her Twitter account on Thursday after the website The Smoking Gun (TSG) broke the story. “It provided an escape from a life that I was struggling in. It was a double life,” she wrote. A middle distance runner who competed in the women’s 1500

meter (1.5 km) race in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, Favor Hamilton is also one of the most decorated female athletes in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) track and field history. She has appeared in a Nike commercial and a swimsuit calendar, and has done promotional work for national firms
