Poll official appeals for calm among candidates, supporters in GenSan

By Allen V. Estabillo MindaNews

GENERAL SANTOS CITY (MindaNews) – An election official here appealed to local candidates and their supporters to remain calm and abide by their signed peace covenants even as the official campaigning finally winds up on Saturday.

Lawyer Marlon Casquejo, acting city election officer, made the appeal on Friday as the city’s main political camps continued to accuse each other of committing election-related violations and irregularities, heating up the already tense political scene in the area.

He reminded candidates that they have sworn in their peace covenants to pursue honest, orderly and peaceful campaigning as well as not to resort to “dirty tactics.”

“Sana panindigan natin ang pinirmahang peace covenants (I hope you’ll honor the peace covenants that you signed),” Casquejo said.

On Wednesday afternoon, stalwarts of the administration-backed Liberal Party-Achievers with Integrity Movement (LP-AIM) filed a complaint before the city prosecutor’s office for violation of the Omnibus Election Code against 10 supporters of rival People’s Champ Movement-United Nationalist Alliance (PCMUNA) slate over the alleged destruction of their campaign posters.

The filing of the complaint came after police authorities arrested a group of PCM supporters on Tuesday night while hauling some 52 sacks of torn LP-AIM campaign posters aboard two vehicles at a portion of Purok Guadalupe in Barangay Conel here.

Named respondents in the complaint were the two drivers and their eight

helpers, who are presently detained at the city police headquarters at Camp Fermin Lira here.

The vehicles, which carried posters of Sarangani Rep. Emannuel Pacquiao’s younger brother Rogelio, were owned by the congressman’s chief of staff Michael Bren Evangelio.

The younger Pacquiao is PCM-UNA’s candidate for the first ongressional district seat of South Cotabato province.

PCM-UNA repeatedly denied any hand in the incident and instead released a video taken by mobile phone that showed reelectionist Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio of LPAIM releasing goats and agricultural inputs to some residents.

But Custodio said there was nothing irregular with her presence in the activity as she was just there supposedly through an invitation from the Department of Agriculture.

Casquejo said the respondents in the complaint might face possible charges for violation of the Omnibus Election Code and Republic Act 9006 or the Fair Election Act. Article 10, Section 83 of the election code prohibits the removal, destruction or defacement of lawful election propaganda.

“The removal of any election propaganda without authority from the Comelec (Commission on Elections) is an election offense,” the official explained.

Casquejo urged both political camps to avoid further mudslinging and just focus on addressing some vital issues that concern the city and local voters.

He added that they should also abide by all election laws and regulations until all election-related activities are completed.

MALAYBALAY CITY - In a press conference here the other day, Bukidnon gubernatorial candidate Jose Ma. Zubiri, explicitly denied reports that he is junking his vice gubernagtorial candidate, incumbent governor Alex Calingasan, to support and assure the winnability of another vice gubernatorial candidate.

INC picks Fortun, Amante

By PAT SAMONTE

BUTUAN CITY – The block –voting Iglesia ni Cristo here has picked lawyer Lawrence Lemuel Fortun as its candidate for representative of Agusan del Norte’s First District on May 13, 2013 midterm elections.

Following Thursday’s church services, the Iglesia ni Cristo also endorsed incumbent Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. in his bid for a second term here.

The religious group has been known to deliver command votes at every electoral exercise and can-

didates court its leaders for members’ votes way ahead of election day.

INC votes here are estimated to reach 5,000 and 6,000 in Agusan del Norte.

Political analysts here said that Fortun and Amante’s Iglesia votes have strengthened their lead over their respective rivals and seemed to have assured their victory on Monday.

Fortun had consistently dominated rival lawyer Roan Libarios of the United Nationalist Alliance in prepoll surveys conducted by the Father Saturnino Urios University Policy Center.

POPCOM capacitates BSPOs in family planning

By Angie Balen-Antonio

BUTUAN CITY - The Commission on Population in Caraga Region has intensified the campaign to reduce the unmet needs on family planning by capacitating the Barangay Service Point Officers (BSPOs).

Trained and now serving as the implementing arm of the population program at the community level, the BSPOs were from Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands and Surigao City.

The training equipped them with necessary skills in the delivery of effective and efficient service, particularly in the identification and motivation of Married Couples of Reproductive Ages (MCRA),

Miner survives shooting

By PO3 Darlin Cabalinan-Migullas

CAMP RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ, Butuan City - Despite being wounded in the right chest and right arm, during a shooting incident, a miner still managed to drive his vehicle away from the suspects, early this week.

Marvin Ocada Cosicol of legal age, married and a resident of Pirada, Brgy. Del Pilar, Cabadbaran City was driving his car towards Cabadbaran City proper when he shot by three unidentified motorcycle-riding men upon reaching Brgy. Comagascas.

He was able to drive up to Sitio Hinagdanan where he sought help from residents, who immediately brought him to the Cabadbaran District Hospital for initial treatment before having been transferred to one of the hospitals in Butuan City.

In depth investigation is still being conducted by the Cabadbaran City Police Station to determine the motive, identify and arrest the culprits.

Bird... from page 5

the Philippine Eagle is a dead duck. Let's look further at the math of maintaining a single raptor: 60-80 square kilometers? How many barangays, towns or cities have that large an area?

Or consider how much former Vice President Noli de Castro spent to nurture Kabayan, only to have it electrocuted at an electric post in Mount Apo National Park. Let's hope that's not an omen because most everyone in the media industry from which VP Kabayan comes from knows what 'nakuryente' means.

Now, unless we want to have a dead duck, er dead bird as a national symbol, maybe the sitting Boss Tsip can consider bringing back the ubiquitous Maya as our national bird.

The very reasons why Fidel Ramos chose to replace the Maya as the Philippine Eagle smacks of the Pinoy's unfortunate penchant to ape things Western, or American for that matter. Tabako thought the Haribon the better of the Bald Eagle of the U.S. of A, but failed to see the virtues of the lowly maya which are more reflective of the Pinoy’s virtues and strengths as a people.

Without necessarily drawing a parallel between their relative sizes, hopefully it would be easy for the sitting president to recognize how between Maya and Eagle, the former is easily the winner of the two, and hence worthy of

According to the POPCOM OIC Alexander A. Makinano, capacitating and mobilizing the volunteer workers is one of the strategies and commitments of his Office in reducing the couples’ unmet needs.

“We tapped the volunteers, considering their personal knowledge of the residents in their respective barangays,” Mr.

Makinano explained.

“Couples who want to use Long-Acting and Permanent Methods will be referred to the Barangay/ Rural Health Station for counselling and accessing the needed family planning services,” he further said.

Te ch n i c a l ly, u n m e t needs is defined as the proportion of currently married women, who do not want any more chil-

dren or prefer to space births, but are not using any method of family planning.

Data on high unmet needs for family planning in the region is still evident in the latest Family Health Survey posted at 20.4, higher than the national figure which is 19.3 percent.

Study revealed that top reasons identified on high

unmet needs indicate the lack of correct information, fear of side effects on family planning methods, and myths and misconception about family planning in general.

Other causes include poor access to FP services, husband’s objection and lack of LGU support. (/NCLM/Angie Balen-.

The city election officer also thanked PIA-Caraga for assuring that only relevant and accurate information will be released to the public through the agency’s network of legitimate me-

dia personalities, who are members of the RMR team.

“The Philippine Information Agency here in Caraga should be given due recognition for this noble initiative,” Atty. Palanan said. (Robert E. Roperos/ Media ng Bayan/asf )

City Comelec officer elated over PIA-Caraga’s RMRT

By Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY – Citing the importance of delivering relevant and accurate news and information to the public during the May 13 elections, City Election Officer Ernie F. Palanan expressed elation over the creation of the Rapid Media Response Team (RMRT) by the Philippine Information Agency (PIA-Caraga).

The RMRT will serve as venue of providing the partner media with relevant news and information for airing over their respective outfits, thus, achieving a

uniform and consistent delivery of communication to the listening and viewing public.

Atty. Palanan said that through this endeavor, the PIA could become the venue for promoting camaraderie and unity among the local tri-media outfits.

“This is a welcome development in the broadcasting industry in Butuan City…

Through this, information inconsistencies will be minimized, if not, eliminated… Inconsistencies cause misinformation to the listening and viewing

We Grow Minds! all the extra column inches and airing minutes media can spare to trumpet its winning attributes worthy of emulation by all Pinoys during these troubled times: The puny rice bird is a survivor, able to weather man's depredations on its environment far better than the vanishing Philippine Eagle which needs an inordinately wide forest stand to sustain a small population.

Certainly, the latter's lifestyle has no place in a world reeling from global warming as a result of the wanton consumerism espoused by the glutton economies of the so-called G-7 which account for a mere fraction of the world's populace, yet consume over ninety percent of its resources.

Though small, the Maya is hardy yet ever merry in the company of his kind; surviving in the forest, mines, cities and highways of men where the solitary Eagles and Falcons find certain destruction.

I have no quarrel with the fight to save the Philippine Eagle from extinction.

Friends tell me it perches on top of a food chain which may snap here and there if and when it vanishes. But national symbol for Pinoys it definitely is not.

That distinction belongs to the Maya because it is a national symbol that truly befits the Filipino and is a faithful reflection of his creed and ideals, and not a pathetic copycat of a former colonial master.

POPCOM gains youth support on responsible sexuality

By Angie Balen-Antonio

DINAGAT, Dinagat Islands Province - Youth leaders of this province have pledged to support the Commission on Population’s responsible sexuality campaign, as their contribution to rationalizing population growth in the area.

Prioritizing the importance of community outreach, an action plan was formulated by the youth leaders during the recent summer camp here.

They also committed themselves as advocates of Population – Health – Environment (PHE), particularly in the propagation of proper care and protection of the environment by way of balancing it with population.

Alexander A. Makinano , Officer-In-Charge of Popcom - Caraga called the camp as venue in rediscovering the participants’ inner selves and in gaining more friends, through the structured learning exercises and team building sessions.

“St re n g t h e n i n g t h e leadership skills and inculcating positive values among our future leaders is of paramount importance, as they will be facing new challenges ahead,” Mr. Makinano stressed.

The participants expressed appreciation to

the organizers for the opportunity that broadened their knowledge, not only on the physical aspects of the youth, but more so on being responsible for their sexuality.

“One of the realizations I had, being a Sangguniang Kabataan leader, is I should not only focus on sports program, but also on activities in curbing the cases of teenage pregnancies,” said one of the participants.

Being one of the sponsoring groups, Popcom had the youth camp aligned with its Adolescent Health and Youth Development Program (AHYDP) that provides right information that helps the youth understand their sexuality, develop right values and help them make responsible decisions to prepare them for adulthood.

Participated in by 56 SK officers and members from seven municipalities of the province of Dinagat Islands, t he t hre e-day Summer Youth Camp was organized by the provincial Population Office.

Similar activity is set for the cities of Butuan and Bislig, sometime this month. (NCLM/ Ang i e B a l e n - Anton i o, POPCOM/PIA-Caraga/ arjaysfelicilda)

Globe Telecom connects with tech-savvy teens Some 23 high-school tech-savvy teens looking for worthwhile summer activity are getting their chance under Globe Telecom’s Junior Wizard program, which is expected to provide them valuable experiences and skills.

Pioneered in 2012, the Junior Mobile Wizard Program is a six-week summer program offered to Globe employees’ high school children, who will be assisting in selected Globe concept stores in Metro Manila.

Under the program, these high school students are tasked to demonstrate and discuss the latest gadgets and mobile data services, as well as other Globe offers and services.

It provides an opportunity for them to learn outside of a campus setting as they interact with customers and gain experience working inside a Globe store.

“Because technology is so integrated in a teenager’s life, we believe that the program is a great opportunity for them to learn important social and entrepreneurial skills. We would like to capitalize in their immense interest in technology for

them to experience a summer activity which we hope will teach them important lessons in life. Since they will be working alongside their parents’ colleagues, they will have a taste of how Globe promotes an engaging and satisfying work culture,” said Globe Telecom President and CEO Ernest Cu.

As such, it is protected under Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources and Protection Act of 2001 such that the harming, killing or mere possession of one is punishable by 6-10 years imprisonment or a fine of P100, 000-P1 million.

But since the law was enacted, no one has been punished for harming or killing a Philippine Eagle, although awareness has helped bail out those who

Due to the dwindling forests in Southern Mindanao, the raptors have been migrating to greener forests. One eagle requires 60-80 square kilometers territory to sustain itself, so the estimated 180 surviving eagles would need 10,800 to 14,400 square kilometers territory, or 1317% of Central Mindanao's remaining virgin forests.

Think a minute…A wise teacher said: “Marriage is a friendship on fire.” A couple who had been married over 30 years was telling a younger couple how happy they were. The older couple said how much fun they were having together, and that their physical passion was hotter than ever!

Besides that, they said they were doing all the things they had wanted to for years.

They were traveling together visiting their kids and grandchildren. This older couple took walks and talked together every day.

They were each other’s best and closest friend.

They say love and friendship in marriage should be like wine…it only gets better with age. I know couples whose love has grown sweeter and more satisfying as their friendship has grown deeper and closer. But just

as it takes work and care to build a fire, and then to keep it burning, so also a “friendship on fire” takes time, patience, and work.

Sadly, there are many good parents who are often irritated and angry with each other. They might have friendships with other people, but they have a hard time getting along with each other. They frequently argue and fight, so they just don’t enjoy close companionship and peace in their life together.

But when your marriage is built on trust, respect, and open communication, then you can have a very close and satisfying friendship.

Neither the husband nor the wife needs to feel jealous or suspicious of the other.

Best friends understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, but they still love and accept the whole

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst person, the good with the bad. So they’re patient with their best friend’s faults.

They also are loyal and protect each other’s reputation with other people.

Friends are honest with each other and talk about their real feelings, instead of staying angry inside and growing farther apart. They also know how to laugh and have fun together just doing simple, daily things.

Friend, it’s never too late to change and get closer to your wife or husband.

Becoming best friends for life is one of the greatest

gifts and successes you’ll ever have! But it takes daily time, listening, forgiving, accepting, and changing by both of you. Yet your reward and profit is so big and great! So why not ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for your own wrong attitudes, unforgiveness, and self-centeredness in your marriage? Ask Jesus to take charge of your heart and help you to start changing.

Then each day you can start enjoying a closer, happier friendship on fire with your wife or husband. You won’t regret it! Just Think a Minute…

Reminder: Test for 2013 candidates: godliness

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

Jesus called them together and said, `You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you.

Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant’…”

(Matthew 20:24-26, the Holy Bible).

-oooREMINDER: TEST FOR 2013 CANDIDATES-GODLINESS: Let me reprint this column: “President Aquino is right---voters in the May 2013 elections should not elect “pretenders” to public office since only those who will and can really serve should be voted upon. But then, with due respect, he is totally wrong to assume that only those who wear yellow shirts have the capacity to serve well.

“There are many who don the yellow color but are really undeserving of any

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio elective position, even the lowest ones, and there are those who wear other colors but who are really able and capable. What the President should be pounding upon for our people to vote for in May, if he wants his `right path’ campaign to really succeed, are candidates who have the fear and love of God in their hearts, and who are true believers well-versed and obedient to the Word of God, the Bible.

“Undeniably, this country and this nation have already been subjected to

all kinds of leaders since time immemorial. It is now time to push for men and women who will lead our people first and foremost to become true listeners and sincere followers of God, a people who will once and for all base their thoughts, words and actions on what God says according to the Bible, and who will act, speak and think in recognition of God’s primacy in our lives, and in loving embrace of the welfare of others.

-ooo-

VOTE FOR 2013 CANDIDATES WHO FEAR AND LOVE GOD: Then, and only then, will this country and its people be able to claim its rightful destiny as a nation blessed, led, guided, and protected by God. Consequently, the question that President Aquino and all of us should try to answer is: who are the candidates in the 2013 elections who have the fear and love of God in their hearts? The Bible gives clear indications as to who they are.

In Exodus 18:13-21, Moses was given by his father-in-law, Jethro, the guidelines for selecting officials who will rule over others. Jethro said: “… Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to him.

To be on the same page During the latest press conference hosted by the Oro Chamber last Friday at a local hotel, President Efren Uy reiterated the group’s opposition to the premature opening of the Laguindingan Airport (now rescheduled for June 15) due to the adverse effects the 50 percent drop in flights due to the Visual Flight Rules to be implemented in the facility would devastate Northern Mindanao region’s economy.

Laguindingan would replace the Lumbia Airport in Cagayan de Oro. In his presentation, Mr. Uy cited figures which show that Lumbia is the fifth busiest airport in the country with

Hammer and Anvil Mike Baños 28 daily flights, 1.3 million passengers and 22.2 million kilograms of cargo a year as of 2010. Latest figures from CAAP we sourced through NEDA-10 show the passenger volume as of 2012 shot up 10.3 percent to 1.622 million from 1.471 million in 2011 while cargo volume jumped up even more by 34.42 percent from 16,231 metric tons to 2011

to 21,818MT in 2012.

Mr. Uy showed us a table where the number of flights to be affected by Laguindingan’s Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations could be affected. This counted six flights in the morning and ten in the evening. I have a problem accepting these figures at their face value for a number of reasons.

First, even if it is operated

under VFR, the contention that inclement weather would rule out early morning and evening operations at Laguindingan is not entirely accurate. During my stint in the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor Special Development Project Office, we worked closely with the Dept. of Transportation and Communications to bring this airport to fruition and learned a lot about the need for it. One of this was its lower altitude compared to Lumbia airport.

In fact, Lumbia’s altitude was one reason why it could never be expanded because when the cloud cover was lowered by inclement weathbaños | page 11

Abamin bats for dev’t of ZeroAccess, was the natural gas in M’danao No. 1 threat last quarter Fortinet’s FortiGuard Threat Landscape Research Team Reports that Bitcoin Botnet,

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) − a world leader in high-performance network security – has announced the findings of its FortiGuard threat landscape research for the period of January 1 − March 31, 2013. FortiGuard® Labs observed that the Bitcoin mining botnet, ZeroAccess, was the No. 1 threat this quarter as reported by FortiGate devices worldwide. The report also reveals analysis of the South Korea cyberattacks and two new Android adware variants that have climbed the watch list in the last 90 days.

ZeroAccess Shows No Signs of Slowing “In the first quarter of 2013, we have seen owners of the ZeroAccess botnet maintain and expand the number of bots under its control,” said Richard Henderson, security strategist and threat researcher for Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs. “In the last 90 days, the owners of ZeroAccess have sent their infected hosts 20 software updates.”

Based on reporting from FortiGate devices worldwide, ZeroAccess is the number one botnet threat the team is seeing.

ZeroAccess is used primarily for click fraud and Bitcoin mining.

The value of the decentralized, open source-based digital currency continues to skyrocket, which likely means the amount of money being made by ZeroAccess is in the millions of dollars or more.

“As Bitcoin’s popularity and value increases, we may see other botnet owners attempt to utilize their botnets in similar fashions or to disrupt the Bitcoin market,” Henderson continued.

In March and into April, Mt. Gox, the largest Bitcoin Exchange in the world, battled a continued Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in an attempt to destabilize the currency and/or profit from it. FortiGuard Labs’ analysis of ZeroAccess, which has the capability to load DDoS modules onto infected machines, revealed that the botnet does not currently have a DDoS module attached to its arsenal. This suggests other botnet owners are attempting to profit from fluctuations in the Bitcoin currency.

The growth of new ZeroAccess infections has remained constant in the last 90 days.

Since FortiGuard Labs began actively monitoring ZeroAccess in August 2012, the team has seen a virtually linear amount of growth in new infections. Most recently, the team is seeing a staggering 100,000 new infections per week and almost 3 million unique IP addresses reporting infections. It’s estimated that ZeroAccess may be generating its owners up to $100,000 per day in fraudulent advertising revenue alone.

Wiper Attack Hits South Korea Companies A massive malware attack on South Korean television networks and financial institutions in March caused wide-scale damage, wiping thousands of hard drives. FortiGuard Labs, leveraging its partnerships with both the public and private sector in South Korea, has uncovered information relating to the nature of the attack and how the malware was spread. The team’s research shows the attackers were able to seize control of patch management systems and

use the trusted nature of those systems to distribute malware within their targets’ networks.

“During our investigation of the attacks, we discovered that a version of the wiper malware was able to infect internal security management servers and use the trusted nature of that internal server to spread infections inside the victim’s network,” said Kyle Yang, Senior Manager of Antivirus at FortiGuard Labs.

Cleanup and restoration continues, and the perpetrators responsible remain unidentified.

Two New Adware Variants Propagating on Android Two new Android adware variants, Android.NewyearL.B and Android.Plankton.B have seen a large number of global infections in the past 90 days.

“The new advertising kits we are monitoring suggest that the authors behind this are working very hard to remain undetected,” said David Maciejak, senior researcher for Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs. “It’s also possible that Newyear and Plankton are being written by the same author, but being maintained separately in order to generate more infections.”

Both pieces of malware are embedded into various applications and have the ability to display advertisements, track users through the phone’s unique IMEI number, and modify the phone’s desktop.

“The surge in Android adware can most likely be attributed to users installing what they believe are legitimate applications that contain the embedded adware code,” said Guillaume Lovet, Senior Manager at FortiGuard Labs. “It suggests that someone or some group has been able to monetize these infections, most likely through illicit advertising affiliate programs.”

Users can protect themselves by paying close attention to the rights asked by an application at the point of installation. It is also recommended to download mobile applications that have been highly rated and reviewed.

About FortiGuard Labs FortiGuard Labs compiled threat statistics and trends for this threat period based on data collected from FortiGate® network security appliances and intelligence systems in production worldwide. Customers who use Fortinet’s FortiGuard Services should be protected against the vulnerabilities outlined in this report as long as the appropriate configuration parameters are in place.

36 PCOS machines distributed in Northern M’danao defective CAGAYAN DE ORO CITYThe Commissions on Elections (COMELEC) has found 36 Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines distributed in various areas in Mindanao defective, Comelec Regional Director Nilo Pipo said on Friday.

He said the Comelec has started distributing 3,740 PCOS to various polling places in Northern Mindanao starting Thursday in preparation for the May 13 elections next week.

Pipo said the Comelec has already asked for the replacement of the defective

PCOS although the Comelec technical men was able to remedy the 23 of the 36 PCOS found defective.

“We asked for 13 PCOS as replacements and we are expecting these units to arrive here on Saturday,” Pipo added. He said that the Comelec has a replacement for every defective PCOS in the region.

Pipo said that the defective PCOS were found during the final testing and sealing of the PCOS machines on Thursday at the precinct level.

“The testing and final sealing ended Friday,” he added.

Abante Mindanao (Abamin) Party List Rep. Maximo B. Rodriguez urged the government to develop the natural gas deposit in Mindanao as an alternative to cushion the impact of energy shortage on the island.

House Resolution No. 2623 directed the House Committee on Energy to conduct an inquiry on reports of huge deposits of natural gas in Mindanao and the possibility of putting up a natural gas project in Mindanao.

The Department of Energy has reported a huge deposit of natural gas in the Davao-Agusan basin, the Cotabato basin that covers the Liguasan Marsh and the areas straddling Sulu and Tawi-tawi.

Rodriguez said that the World Bank has confirmed the DOE findings and encourages the pursuit of a natural gas project in Mindanao.

In his resolution, Rodriguez urged the government to expand the $ 2.1 billion natural gas master plan of the Philippines to be expanded in order to include the proposed natural gas project in Mindanao.

He said that the concerned agencies should also present a feasibility cost-efficiency studies so that the people of Mindanao could afford the cost of the natural gas once this is developed as possible sources of energy.

Army vows peace and stability in NorMin’s post-election CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City ---The 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division vowed to make the May 13, 2013 Elections safe, peaceful and successful, Maj. Leo Bongosia, spokesperson of the army’s 4th ID said on Friday.

Barely two weeks from his assumption last 26 April 2013, Brigadier General Ricardo R Visaya AFP, General Officer-In-Charge of 4ID already led this Army’s Division into new strategies in maintaining peace and security in the region which resulted in commendable accomplishments.

Since 28 April, the Diamond Troopers already initiated 13 encounters with communist New People’s Army (NPA) killing one rebel, Bongosia said.

He said the encounters resulted to the recovery of five high-powered firearms (1-AK47, 1-M16, 2-M14, 1-Ingram machine pistol); five low-powered firearms (4-shotguns and 1-.38 cal.

Pistol); hundreds of ammunitions in different calibres and the surrender to two NPA rebels.

Government troops also recovered 5-hand grenades, 5-improvised Bangalore Tor p e d o e s, 6 -i g nit i on switches, 6-firing devices, 8-blasting caps, rolls of electrical wires, and several backpacks containing subversive documents, the army spokesperson said.

He said the military has doubled its efforts in intensifying the conduct of combat and security operations relative to the upcoming elections on Monday, 13 May. Bongosia said that the military would ensure a safe Northern Mindanao region and secure even after the May elections.

He said the mission would certainly be accomplished in cooperation with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other government law enforcing agencies in the region. CD

Lakers’ Pau Gasol set for treatment on both knees EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -- Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol will get ultrasonic treatment on both knees in an attempt to regenerate hi s tendons.

The Lakers announced Gasol’s plan Wednesday.

The team says Gasol will undergo a procedure Thursday that’s intended to improve the health of his patellar tendons by removing scar tissue

with ultrasonic energy.

The procedure will be performed by Dr. Steven Yoon of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group.

After the Lakers’ season ended last month, the

7-foot Spaniard said both of his knees had developed tendinosis - a degeneration of tissue.

Gasol missed 33 games due to injury last season, struggling with a concussion, plantar fasciitis and additional ailments, including his chronically sore knees.

Gasol turns 33 in July.

He has one year left on his deal with the Lakers.

NPAs clash with Marines escorting teachers carrying PCOS machines

By Froilan Gallard just two kilometers away from where Mayor Ruthie MindaNews Guingona was ambushed CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY recently in Gingoog City, (MindaNews ) – Suspected the military said. communist rebels clashed Meanwhile, in Kitaotao, today with a team of Phil- Bukidnon, an Army team ippine Marines escorting that went ahead of the teacha group of teachers carry- ers carrying several PCOS ing precinct count optical machines engaged suspected scan (PCOS) machines New People’s Army (NPA) in a hinterland village rebels in a 15-minute fire-

fight in Barangay Pagan also Thursday morning.

Maj. Leo Bongosia, public information officer of the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, said the two incidents came as the 4ID prepares for providing the security of teachers who will be manning the polling places on election day on Monday.

“Our troops were do-

ing their election duties in bringing the BEIs (board of election inspectors) and PCOS machines to their respective polling places when these incidents happened,” he said.

Bongosia said the Gingoog clash took place in Barangay Samay. “The rebels just allowed the BEIs and teachers to pass before they engaged

the Marines, who were right behind,” Bongosia said.

Barangay Samay is located just two kilometers from Barangay Capitulangan, where Mayor Guingona’s party was ambushed last April 20.

Two of her aides died in the ambush.

The ambush of the mayor, wife of former Vice President Teofisto

Guingona, prompted President Benigno Simeon Aquino III to deploy a battalion of the elite Philippine Marines in Gingoog to run after the NPA rebels.

In the Kitaotao clash, Bongosia said no one was hurt but because of the incident, the PCOS machines were not delivered to Barangay Pagan.

different operating parameters and it wouldn’t be accurate to project Lumbia’s flight sked to Laguindingan and assume VFR would result in cancelled flights. Like comparing apples with oranges, to use the worn out cliché.

In fact, during the prescon, an airline representative said they have already considered the VFR protocol for Laguindingan and would be cancelling their late evening flight but would be adding back an early morning flight to take up the slack.

I believe the more prudent and rationale tack for the Oro Chamber to take is to ask the airlines now operating from Lumbia for their revised flight skeds for Laguindingan, and only then can we know for certain how VFR would affect the present volume of passengers and cargoes passing through Region X and ergo, make our subsequent arguments about lost business and revenues plausible.

The chamber should also consider other airlines like Zest Air/Air Asia have already indicated their plans to run new flights and are even now offering promos online for its flights into Laguindingan.

Consider further, how the new airport’s planned volume for 2022 of 1.6 million has already

been exceeded last year and we have our work cut out for us.

Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Region X Governor Rodolfo L. Meñes said private sector investors have already expressed a high degree of interest to bid for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contract for Laguindingan which is up for privatization as well as undertake similar PrivatePublic-Partnerships (PPP) which would undertake expansion projects for the passenger and cargo terminals, runway extension and the shuttle service for passengers from the aircraft to the terminal.

That sound good but at this point, perhaps the first thing to do is to get that revised flight schedules for Laguindingan from the airlines and start from there. And of course, chart a Plan B just in case CAAP and DOTC makes good of their threat to commence operating Laguindingan Airport using VFR by June 15.

Under the watchful eyes of poll volunteers and watchers, Lacre nervously asked his fellow BEI members whether they have the memory card.

Getting a “No” for an answer, Lacre went through a pile of documents and boxes that contained the PCOS machine assigned to his room.

After minutes of futile search, Lacre finally remembered, and fished out the memory card. “It’s here. I forgot that I placed it in my pocket,” a relieved Lacre said as the small crowd of watchers and teachers broke into laughter.

Palmer Palamine, city election officer, said almost all members of BEIs and teachers were nervous during the testing of the PCOS machines in Cagayan de Oro Thursday morning.

“In their nervousness, they forgot all the instructions we gave them in the operation of the PCOS machines. It is understandable though because this is only their second time to operate these machines,” Palamine said.

He said the first automated balloting was during the 2010 presidential elections, wherein teachers used to manual counting had a hard time adapting to technology.

“There were only minor glitches reported which we attributed to the nervousness of the teachers,” Palamine said.

One of the glitch reported, Palamine said, was the delayed distribution of PCOS machines as the Comelec-chartered cargo forwarder, Air 21, struggled to make the delivery to the 360 polling precincts in the city.

He said all the machines will stay inside the classrooms until these will be opened on election day.

“We have instructed the teachers to padlock the rooms but the windows should be open to allow the public to peek inside,” Palamine said.

For Lacre, whose first experience was the 2010 polls, automated election is very “convenient “ for the teachers.

“It takes only a few minutes for each voter to finish casting her or his ballot. We can finish the entire counting early Monday night,” he said.

Lacre had 10 volunteers cast mock ballots to check the machine. The entire process took only less than an hour.

from page 1 officially endorsed Vicente “Dongkoy” Emano for City

Mayor, with his City ViceMayor Ian Acenas and Benjo Benaldo for the position of Congressman in district 1.

The machinery gave its endorsements to Pepe Abbu, Inday Dahino, Dante Pajo, Maya Enteria, Alden Bacal, Annie Daba, Addie Barba, and Gil Banaag in district 1 City Council race and PEN also gave its full support to the district 2 candidates, Ian Mark Quiblat Nacaya running as congressional candidate together with the city councilors namely: Nadya Emano, President Elipe, Leon Gan who is currently the acting city administrator, Jun Acenas, Noling Abujuela, Ramon Tabor, Juan Sia, and Alexander Dacer .

These candidates that PEN has endorsed are the candidates who have strong commitments in giving full services to the public without a doubt and hesitation regardless of its status and race. PEN, with its 75,000 members who will firmly vote straight with PaDayon Pilipino Team and Party List 1-AAMOVERS believe that, to stop graft and corruption, the people must be educated and conscious enough to save and not to sell the right to vote.

In that way, the Candidates will not resort to the use of improper methods.

This coming 2013, PEN hopes, works and prays for an honest and sincere election.

VFP...

from page 1 Pilapil, former president of VFP- Sons and Daughters Association, Inc. In the case of CVAO in Marikina, it will be the one in charge to handle programs of the city government for veterans living in the city, informing them of their benefits, and making sure that they are provided with their respective benefits.

Pilapil, who is also the first nominee of Veterans Freedom Partylist (VFP) running this coming election, noted that, “providing assistance for our veterans is the very platform of the party.”

“We want to make sure that veterans will be wellrepresented in Congress so that we can make legislations for the welfare of our veterans and their kin”, added Pilapil.

There are only less than twenty thousand WWII veterans who remained alive up to this day. While this number continue to lessen, still many surviving spouses and kin of veterans, some of them coming from far flung provincial areas, line up at the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) inside Camp Aguinaldo to follow-up on their benefits

Election...

from page 1 Sergio C. Dagooc, also assured there will be enough power supply in his area during election day.

"According to NAPOCOR, they will not curtail the power beginning May 13 until May 15," Dagooc said.

But just in case there will be power shortage, he said they will not cut power in the schools where the precincts are. “We might interrupt power supply in residential areas, but not in schools,” Dagooc assured.

He said they have also prepared generator sets, especially in the schools, so that the flow of the election will not be affected.

According to Dagooc, Siargao has minimal power requirement of only 3 megawatts because it has no big business establishments.

Dinagat Island, he said, also doesn’t have power shortage because it has its own small power plant. (Roel N. Catoto / MindaNews)

Police...

from page 3 He said around 150 of his supporters were gathered at the beach house undertaking preparations for Monday’s elections when the policemen led

by Maclang raided the place.

“How can the amount of P3,000 be used to buy the votes of 150 upporters gathered at the beach house preparing things for the forthcoming elections? Those people are not stupid enough to sell their votes at P20 each,” Yebes emphasized. “ T he r a id w a s a c le a r frameup,” he declared, accusing Maclang as a henchman of UNA’s political opponents.

He said they will file robbery case against Maclang and his men who allegedly took a television set and other personal belongings from the beach house.

Yebes said they will also file charges for violation of Republic Act 9262, or the anti-violence against women and their children act of 2004 against the raiding policemen for hurting his women supporters.

An amateur video provided to the media by Yebes’s camp showed policemen forcibly dragging a woman out of the beach house. (MindaNews)

But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens…”

-oooC A N DI DAT E S W HO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD: In Genesis 41:15-40, one of the sons of Jacob or Israel, Joseph, was brought to the Pharaoh of Egypt to explain the king’s two dreams---first about the seven cows and second about the seven heads of grain. On meeting the king, Joseph immediately clarified that the power to explain the dreams belonged only to God, and explained what the dreams meant---seven years of golden harvest to be followed by seven years of severe famine.

Joseph then explained that what was needed to be done to save Egypt and the surrounding countries from deadly hunger was the installation of a discerning and wise man as a leader of that country. The Pharaoh then asked: “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom the Spirit of God dwells?” Seeing that Joseph was guided by God, the Pharaoh installed him as Egypt’s second ruler, next only to him, the king.

Finally, in Mark 10:43-44, Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, defined what a godly official should consist of. He said: “…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all…” Our question now is: are there candidates in the May 2013 elections who possess these qualities and therefore deserve to be elected?
