Mangudadatu leads in count from 32 of 36 Maguindanao towns COTABATO CITY (MindaNews) -- Maguindanao Governor Esmael Mangudadatu is expected to be proclaimed winner of the Maguindanao gubernatorial race against lone opponent Sultan Kudarat mayor Datu Tucao Mastura, leading as of 12 noon Wednesday by at least 90,000 votes in the count of transmitted results from 32 of 36 towns.

Mangudadatu (Liberal Party) is leading Mastura (United Nationalist Alliance) by at least 90,209 votes with only four towns awaiting transmission of results to the Provincial Board of Canvassers convened at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center at the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao compound here.

The Mastura camp is mulling the filing of an electoral protest, Maguindanao Vice Governor Ismael “Dustin” Mastura, a candidate for Assemblyman of the ARMM’s Regional Legislative Assembly and nephew of Tucao, told MindaNews. He alleged “massive vote-buying,” “terrorism” and “manipulation”

of the PCOS (precinct count optical scan) machines in Monday’s polling.

Dustin was Mangudadatu’s running mate in 2010.

Lawyer Ishak Mastura, Dustin’s brother, told MindaNews that “the crux of election manipulation is that the ballot, once fed to the PCOS, doesn’t send or transmit automatically to the servers,” unlike in 2010. “It is sent only during closing of voting period which can allow the excess ballots to be voted upon by a few persons or the ballots re-fed.”

The PBOC is still awaiting the results from the towns of Northern Kabuntan, Gen. SK Pendatun, Parang and Sultan Kudarat. It went on recess at noon and was supposed to resume at 2 p.m., but as of 2:30 p.m. no result from any of the four towns has been transmitted.

Based on the transmitted results from the 32 towns, Mangudadatu got 172,619 votes against Mastura’s 82,410 or a margin of 90,209.

Mangudadatu is certain of victory, his younger brother Khadafeh, who is leading in

the election of Assemblyman for the second district of the ARMM’s Regional Legislative Assembly, told MindaNews.

The four towns have a total number of 91,309 registered voters, with Mastura’s bailiwick, Sultan Kudarat, as the vote-richest at 40,058 registered voters.

“Panalo pa rin si Kuya kahit na kanila na yang Sultan Kudarat (my brother would still win even if Mastura gets all of Sultan Kudarat’s votes), Khadafeh said, claiming the three other towns are their bailiwicks.

Sultan Kudarat town has not transmitted to the PBOC because of defective memory card in a clustered precinct in Barangay Simuay comprising 905 votes, Acting Election Officer Normida Umpar told MindaNews.

But since the number of votes does not affect the results at the local level,

they proclaimed Tuesday night the winners led by Shameen Mastura, daughter of Tucao Mastura, Umpar said.

In the municipality of Sultan Kudarat, where Mastura is completing his third term as mayor, Mastura won 37,797 votes against Mangudadatu’s 399, according to the municipal canvass report from 55 of 56 clustered precincts, a copy of which Umpar showed to MindaNews.

Umpar said they are still awaiting advice on the replacement of the defective memory card.

Mangudadatu’s other relatives are also winning or have won the elections.

Another brother of Mangudadatu, Zajid, is leading the congressional race against Annie Datumanong, daughter of long-time Maguindanao second district Rep. Simeon Datumanong.

Khadafeh said five other Mangudadatus were elected: his wife Zehan, now mayor of Pandag; Lorena, wife of his brother Jong, now mayor of Buluan; his nephew Prince, son of the governor, reelected as vice mayor of Buluan; Azrel, wife of Mayor Freddie Mangudadatu of Mangudadatu town as mayor of President Quirino in Sultan Kudarat province, and cousin Suharto “Teng” Mangudadatu, who won a third term as governor of Sultan Kudarat province.

Also in the second district, the wives of the detained Ampatuans were reelected.

Bongbong Midtimbang, wife of former ARMM Governor Zaldy Amptuan, as mayor of Datu Hoffer town; Reshal, wife of former Datu Unsay mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr., as mayor of Datu Unsay; and Zahara, wife of former Shariff Aguak mayor Anwar

Ampatuan, as mayor of Shariff Aguak.

Another relative, Engr.

Zamzamin Ampatuan, former Energy Undersecretary, was proclaimed mayor of Rajah Buayan town at 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Zamzamin, a civil engineer, is a son of a cousin of the Ampatuan patriarch, Andal Ampatuan Sr. His brother, Yacob, is the incumbent mayor.

In 1989, Zamzamin was appointed by then President Corazon Aquino as Department of Trade and Industry director when he was 26 years old. He was appointed by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as Executive Director of the Office of Muslim Affairs, “the first Muslim to have attained the highest rank as Career Executive Service Officer,” he told MindaNews.

SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur––The congressional race between the two Plaza rival siblings in the second district will go down the wire as their fate as to who will be the winner will be determined when the votes of the last precinct in the remote town of La Paz will be counted.

At press time, election officials in the province are still awaiting for the PCOS machine from Manila

that will replace the defective one used in one of the three precincts in Barangay Poblacion after the CF card cannot be read.

Reelectionist Rep. Maria Evelyn Plaza-Mellana was leading from his brother former congressman Rodolfo Plaza by 455 votes and the results of the last precinct which has some 714 votes will be the deciding factor for the winner in the hotly-contested contest.

Except for the still unaccounted precinct, Mellana garnered 63,672 votes as against Plaza’s 63, 217

votes. There have been lead changes when the results from the towns started coming in at the provincial canvassing that kept supporters of both camps under tense mood.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Board of Canvassers through Resolution No. 9700 proclaimed Rep. Maria Valentina Plaza of the first district with 74,537 votes, Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza with 146,713 votes and Vice Gov. Santiago Cane Jr with 129,096 votes as winners in the May 13 elections.

The winning candidates ap-

peared last evening at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan session hall at the provincial capitol where PBOC officials raise their hands to formally proclaim them as winners.

Plaza was leading by 610 votes when the votes from San Francisco town was canvassed yesterday but an unofficial partial results coming from La Paz minus the precinct with defective PCOS machine showed Mellana lead by 1,065 votes causing 455 vote difference in favor of her.

Darlene blames brownouts for upset loss GENERAL Santos City–– Incumbent Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio has blamed the prolonged brownouts here in the past months and the public’s “unfounded” perception that the city government has done nothing to address the crisis as among the reasons behind her failed reelection bid in the May 13 elections.

The mayor acknowledged that her popularity and those of her party mates in the administration-backed Liberal PartyAchiever’s with Integrity Movement (LP-AIM) had nosedived when the daily rotational brownouts in the area reached seven hours in March.

She said her critics and some residents misjudged her over the outages.

Stalwarts of rival camp People’s Champ MovementUnited Nationalist Alliance (PCM-UNA) highlighted the issue on the brownouts and the power crisis in their campaign.

“I think it was really the issue of the brownouts (that cost my reelection),” the

mayor said in an interview over TV Patrol Socsksargen.

On Tuesday, the city board of canvassers (CBOC) proclaimed Custodio’s challenger, top councilor Ronnel Rivera of the PCM-UNA, as the duly elected mayor.

Rivera garnered 93,535 votes while Custodio only received 79,053 based on the final and official count released by the CBOC. Rivera’s running mate, incumbent Vice Mayor Shirlyn Banas-Nograles, won by landslide over LP-AIM vice mayoral bet Eduardo Leyson III.

In the city council race, only five LP-AIM incumbent councilors are returning for another three-year term––Elizabeth Bagonoc, Richard Atendido, Vivencio Dinopol, Marius Oco and Eduardo Leyson IV. The five other LP-AIM incumbent councilors – Nepthale Natividad, Dante Vicente, Margareth Santos, Remos de Claro and Virginia Llido – lost their seats to PCM-UNA stalwarts.

Aside from issue on the brownouts, the mayor said their party’s chances took a big hit with the endorsement by bloc-voting Inglesia Ni Cristo of the candidacies of Rivera, Nograles and seven PCM-UNA city council bets.

The religious sect, which

had fully backed the LP-AIM in the 2010 elections, only endorsed five members of the latter’s city council slate.

Custodio said they also gathered some evidences that their rival party turned to vote-buying schemes during the homestretch of the campaign.

“That is quite known among the people,” she said, without further elaborating.

But overall, the mayor said she has accepted the results of the elections and vowed to move on.

She said their group had not seen any problem with regards to the canvassing of votes from the city’s 298 clustered precincts.

“The people voted for their chosen candidates for whatever reason and

that was the result,” the mayor said.

Custodio complimented Rivera for his win and challenged the latter to work on his promised changes to the city and unite the city’s constituents.

“I would like to congratulate mayor-elect Ronnel Rivera. The people have spoken and they have elected you on the basis of change.

The election has gone past and politics is over. The city will not move forward if we’re not united. The city is bigger than both of us,” she said.

The mayor added that she will focus on taking care of her family when her term finally ends on June 30. A report from Allen V. Estabillo of MindaNews

Party-list rep wins against Ecleo in Dinagat

By Vanessa L. Almeda

DINAGAT ISLANDS – The Ecleo dynasty in the Province of Dinagat Islands is apparently losing grip, with the election of Akbayan Party-list Rep. Arlene “Kaka” Bag-ao, as the new congressional representative of the lone district of the province.

Bag-ao of the Liberal Party got 25,615 votes against the Nacionalista Party’s Gwendolyn Ecleo’s 22,369 votes or a lead of 3,246 votes.

Bag-ao was appointed

“caretaker” representative of Dinagat by House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte in October last year after Representative Ruben Ecleo Jr. was convicted of murder and subsequently expelled by the House.

Gwendolyn (NP) is the youngest daughter of Ruben Ecleo Sr., founder of the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA) and Dinagat Governor Glenda “Mommy Glen” Ecleo (NP), who almost lost her reelection

bid to another daughter, Geraldine, who ran under the Liberal Party.

“Mommy Glen” won 23,385 votes against Geraldine’s 22,760 or a margin of only 625 votes.

At 3:40 in the afternoon of election day, supporters cheered as the reelected governor arrived at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan hall for the proclamation, followed by her son Benglen, provincial administrator and the newly-elected vice governor.

“The sun shines bright in Dinagat Island because

Kaka is the epitome of principled and truly capable public service,” said Patricia Sarenas, chair of the Mindanao Coalition of Development Network.

Kaloy Manlupig, chair of Balay Mindanaw, congratulated Bag-ao for “finally winning and realizing her dreams for her own island.

“We hope she does not start another dynasty, which has characterized the island for many years,” Manlupig stated.

Lawyer Mary Ann Arnado, secretary-general of the Mindanao Peoples’ Cau-

cus, said “congress needs a brilliant, hardworking and highly committed lawyer like Bag-ao.”

She added Bag-ao’s victory is a resounding affirmation of the saying that you cannot put a good man and in this case, a great woman down.

“He r pl a c e i s w ay, way up the glass ceiling in Congress. Her stint as Akbayan representative may be short-lived, but God showed her to a much bigger plan,” Lawyer Arnado said.” (Vanesa Almeda/MindaNews/asf )

Calls can now made between two Korea-based numbers, just like making a local call in Korea, resulting to significant savings.

Subscription to the service comes in two variants: The seven-day subscription for only P399 or US$10 is best for short-term visitors, tourists or businessmen,

while the 30-day subscription for only P999 or US$25 will fully satisfy the communication needs of students, migrants and Koreans with established businesses in the Philippines.

Tamano explains that to ‘Think’ means to be educated through Coca-Cola programs like their sports clinics and to ‘Drink’ means to carefully consider one’s beverage choices to aid in proper hydration. CocaCola Philippines has an extensive portfolio of over

19 sparkling and stills beverages.

“While we have our flagship sparkling brand Coke, we also have Powerade, the official sports drink of the football festival that is formulated to have both carbohydrates and electrolytes to rehydrate and replenish minerals consumed during intense physical activity.

And of course, we have water like Wilkins Pure for basic hydration,” adds Tamano.

‘Move’ entails action.

“Because all calories count, whatever food or beverage they come from, we believe that all our products, including Coke, can be part of a balanced and sensible diet once combined with regular physical activity. This is why Coca-Cola continues to provide the information, inspiration, and opportunity for people to get up and move through both grassroots and world-class programs, like the CocaCola Football Festival."

The Coca-Cola Company is now working on having active healthy living programs in over 200 countries operational by 2015.

The 3rd Coca-Cola Football Festival follows the 7A Side Football Format, which limits each team to 7 players. Only one team per club or school per division is allowed to join the cup.

“Here in the Philippines, basketball remains as the national past time,” says

Guillermo Aponte, President and General Manager of Coca-Cola Philippines.

“But as our national football team took home recognition from international leagues, interest and love for the sport began to spread fast—individuals started playing in school football fields, vacant lots, even in the streets—and the growth of our league went alongside this trend. Coca-Cola is proud to be one of the first to support football in the early years through the festival.”

“We are encouraged by the fact that more individuals are taking interest in the sport with now an estimated 100,000 players nationwide according to our partner, NCRFA. Football fans can expect our continuous support moving forward,” concludes Tamano.

Coca-Cola Philippines is driven to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people, communities, and the world by championing environmental sustainability, women empowerment, and wellness.

Apart from football, Coca-Cola is also involved in other healthy active living initiatives, including a youth basketball league called Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars, which aims to impact 7,000 teens; dance, which reaches 20,000 participants; and running, which engages 700,000 runners.

most preferred telecom service provider of the Korean community in the Philippines, in offering Globe DUO Korea," said John C. Kwon, CEO of INY. "Our experience in selling international calling services together with Globe’s reliable service will be a powerful combination to ensure that customers’ calling needs are exceeded."

In addition, Globe also partnered with Onfill, a Philippine country portal site in Korea, operated by Saehoon Air Travel Co., Ltd., the official General Sales Agent in South Korea of one of the Philippines’ biggest airlines. Onfill has the largest sales channel— over 4,000 travel agents nationwide—and provides 27 flights per week to the country with thousands of Korean tourists.

“Our access to numerous travel agencies in South Korea as well as thousands of

Korean tourists will ensure that travellers to the Philippines are well-informed of Globe DUO Korea even before they leave the country,” said Starsky Park, Planning Department Director of Saehoon.

Moreover, in a recent contract signing ceremony held at the Korean Embassy in Bonifacio Global City, Globe partnered with the United Korean Community Association in the Philippines (UKCA), the umbrella organization of all Korean associations in the country, to further its goal of reaching out to one of the biggest foreign communities in the Philippines.

“Globe, being a major partner, gives us the assurance that our plans for the local Korean community are supported by one of the Philippines’ largest companies,” said Jang Il Lee, UKCA President. “Their effort to reach out to our

community is well-received and appreciated,” added Lee. Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Hyuk, in his congratulatory message during the contract signing ceremony between UKCA and Globe, said “the patronage of Koreans in the Philippines in Globe signifies our trust in the excellent standards of your network. In addition, I am optimistic that more Koreans will patronize Globe, given its people-oriented service. This partnership will also play a crucial role in deepening the cultural understanding between our two peoples.”

“Globe DUO Korea is a testament to our continued efforts to introduce innovative products in the market to provide our subscribers with superior service,” Maniego-Eala said.

THINK a minute.

Is your voice go o d enough to sing a solo on television or radio?

If you’re like me, you’ll stick to singing in the shower only! So what are you good at? And compared to whom?

If golf is your sport and you can beat your buddies in a round, how good are you compared to Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, or Veejay Singh?

You and I cannot begin to measure up their world-class standard of golf !

Years ago I had to learn a new language. After 3 months of study and practice, I felt quite good about my progress.

Compared to the tourists, I was a whiz and very fluent. But compared to the locals, I talked like a

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst 5-year-old little boy.

In the same way, we may look at some really bad people and feel quite good about ourselves.

Compared to them, we almost look like saints! But compared to God, how good do we look? Well, who doesn’t look like dirt compared to our perfect Creator!

Even if we locked ourselves away from all temptation and prayed all day for

the rest of our lives, we still could not come even close to being as pure and perfectly good as God is.

So because we want to feel we’re still OK and good enough, we choose to compare ourselves to those really bad people.

But there is only one way that God can accept you and me so we can live in a right relationship with Him. God has to give us the gift of His own perfect good-

ness.

That’s why God the Son became a human being to pay the penalty of death for all our wrongs and sins.

Not His, since he has no wrongs to die for. Jesus wants to give you His perfect goodness free, so you can be good enough to become God’s child and enjoy His life with Him—both now and in heaven after you die.

But it’s up to you to ask Jesus for His free gift of forgiveness and new life.

Just ask Him to forgive you for all your wrongs and living your own way.

Then ask Him to take full charge of your life and start changing your character with His kind of goodness inside every day, for the rest of your life.

Just Think a Minute.

It is time for the city and province to move on

THE jeers and sneers of the election fanfare have subsided as both losers and winner candidates retreated to their own comfort. It was an exhilarating experience albeit the thrill and madness that showcased the characters and personalities of the country’s electoral candidates.

In Cagayan de Oro City, the personalities and the platform of the governments of the candidates in the Cris Diaz hotly contested mayoral post became the focus of attention since the start of the election season last year.

The Moreno-Emano clashed was likened to a boxing tournament where supporters and leaders engaged in a bell-to-bell fight. The congressional fracas in the city’s second district was equally boisterous although the Rodriguez-Nacaya congressional duel was a “no contest match.”

In the first district, Rolando Uy, made an assertive comeback when he crushed the incumbent representative Benjo Benaldo in a 20,000 vote lead. Candidates for the city council in the first district won half of the seat but in the second district, the administration party only gets two seats. With the reelection of Ian Acenas as Vice Mayor, the incumbent opposition of “Dongkoy” Emano remains in control of the City Council at 10-6 ratio.

Not to be outdone were electoral events in the province

of Misamis Oriental. With an unopposed candidate, the congressional match in the province first district was lacklustre. The case in the second district was different.

Pending proclamation, the first woman representative in Misamis Oriental would have a seat reserved at the opening of the 16th Congress in July this year.

Juliet Uy made history as the first woman to win a congressional seat in Misamis Oriental’s male-dominated political landscape. This corner labelled Uy as the “dark horse” in the early days of the congressional race.

With seasoned and tested legislators as major political opponents, Juliet Uy, the only woman candidate who dares the lion’s den, pulled unexpected support from the district’s about 390,000 voters. Juliet vindicated the frustration of her husband Julio Uy, who twice lost his congressional bid in the province’s second district. Julio, however, was elected town Mayor of Villanueva to keep the coastal town as the couple’s political bailiwick in the province central district.

Anyway, this corner congratulates the winners of the midterm elections. Notwithstanding, the electorate expects that winning candidate would pursue their mandated responsibilities as duly elected public officials. It is expected that the newly elected public officials would work to unite wounded political feelings and would pursue a peaceful relationship to all regardless of political colours to allow the city of Cagayan de Oro and the province of Misamis Oriental to move on.

Aquino’s greatest contribution

M onday ’ s m i d t e r m election that surprisingly catapulted Grace Poe to the top of the senatorial race is President Aquino’s biggest contribution in putting a closure to the unresolved cheating that deprived Fernando Poe Jr. of the presidency in 2004.

This was very clear in the overwhelming mandate the electorate gave Grace, a nonentity in the senatorial race when it was first announced she is one of the aspirants.

But the people had another plan. They wanted to prove Fernando really won over the disgraced Gloria Arroyo in their battle for the presidency.

The vindication was even made clearer by the people who still remembered what happened in that election when they made Loren Legarda, Fernando’s running

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II mate then, the second runner up in Monday’s polls with Chiz Escudero, Fernando’s spokesperson, in the number four spot.

I don’t think Aquino intended this to be this way.

This must be providential.

And Aquino paved the way for it to become a reality.

The unexpected surge by Fernando’s daughter to the top just proved that the people have not forgotten what happened in 2004.

They may have castigated

already the former administration when they made Aquino president in the 2010 elections over Gloria’s anointed candidate. But still the people could not just brush aside what she did to Fernando. Even if God had already intervened by sidelining her on sick bay, the cheating that happened in 2004 still cried out for justice. What sweet justice had been rendered with Poe’s unexpected topping of the senatorial race. Fer-

nando may now be smiling in heaven.

Listening to Poe’s post election interviews made me realize how deserving she is to be a distinguished member of the Senate. She is humble. She is intelligent.

She is articulate. She really deserves to be in the Senate over many others who wanted to become an honorable member of that august body.

This early, I would predict she will be the darling of all presidential aspirants to be their partner in the race in 2016. Some quarters might even push for Poe’s own presidential bid. If this will happen, it will not really be surprising given her showing in Monday’s election. Honestly, I failed to watch any of the debates that pitted all senatorial greatest | page 7

PCCI-M’nao, MinDa conduct policy agenda setting for 22nd MinBizCon CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI)-Mindanao in co ordinat ion w it h t he Mindanao Economic D e ve l opm e nt Aut h orit y ( Mi n DA ) ho ste d a consultation on Monday regarding Policy Agenda Setting as preparation for their upcoming 22nd Mindanao Business Conference (MinBizCon) to be held on August in Davao city this year.

This consultation a i m e d t o i n c o r p o r at e ideas and strategies to enhance competitiveness of business sector in Mindanao and ensure that the island is more conducive for businesses.

The event should address immediate and recurring issues of the business sector in Mindanao including proposed actions for the government and the private sector’s commitment to achieve the desired outcome.

John Y. Gaisano, Jr., conference director said to focus on how to

i nc re as e s a l e s , re du c e the cost of doing business and to improve net profit, “We should not only learn competitive business formulation, but we must focus on how to increase our net profit,” he stressed.

“If we i mprove ou r profit and we grow our business we can provide more p e ople j obs t hat wou ld le ad to a lively e c onom i c g row t h ,” he added.

With the year’s theme “Moving Towards ASEAN Business Integration,” the MinBizCon aims to equip the business community in Mindanao the necessary tools and information in preparing to compete in the ASEAN integration, and to generate concrete p olic y and steps f rom the interaction between the business sector and the national government agencies.

The group specified three key processes to be undertaken in going through policy process.

It star ts with problem

identification.

First is the literature review on all the results done in conferences including all relevant issues that are related to the theme, a series of consultation together with the PCCI-Mindanao and MinDa, and prioritization of the policy agenda that were already integrated into consultation.

The second component is t he p ol i c y re s e arch by the aid of academic institutions to conduct a study and research that are needed to solve priority policy issues.

Po l i c y a d v o c a c y i s where policy agenda shall be classified according to key audience; executive, legislative branch of government, private sector, other groups and the general public.

L ast ly is t he mon i tor i ng an d e v a lu at i on to track progress of the policy agenda endorsed to age nc i e s and ot he r institutions that shall be reported by concerned government officials dur-

ing the 22nd MinBizCon. Gaisano also said that in terms of addressing the problems to the concerned government it is necessary that it should be specific, “we need to prioritize, we need it to be presentable, acceptable and clear in order to be addressed,” he said.

“In business there are many things you should do and many things to address” he added. He said that by consulting the concerns, and following all these processes, it will result to more funds, and it could bring people together and have a better focus.

MinDa takes a big role in order to help the business sector by their research on the possible solutions and helps to address it to the law makers and it will be validated and substantiate that also end up in recommendation and facts, by this collaboration the government will take action, he added.

others who toppled down well-entrenched political dynasties. This development is the result in the increase of younger voters who are either college graduates or undergraduates who are more idealistic in their political intentions.

This does not mean, however, that the evils of past elections did not rear its ugly head again. The 3Gs was still employed by unscrupulous politicians who could not win in fair, honest and clean elections.

Vote buying in fact staged a comeback not witnessed in the past.

It became more rampant and the buying more expensive as more and more unscrupulous politicians vied for the people’s mandate.

It just so happen that more and more voters have become wiser. Some did not allow denigrating their beings. Some played games with the unscrupulous politicians by accepting their money but went on voting for the candidates who they believed deserved their mandate.

If this attitude will be perpetuated time will come when unscrupulous politicians will be reduced to penury thus become irrelevant in future elections?

But this does not mean we will just let the unscrupu-

lous ways of some politicians pass this time. It is high time that unscrupulous ways in our elections should finally be put to an end. Vote buying is an insult to the voter, an insult to the sacredness of the right to suffrage, an insult to the image of God that is in every human being. Vote buying is a form of corruption and will beget corruption in governance.

Let us help her so that she will not lose her life’s moorings as she enters the Senate composed of 23 other members whose preoccupation they say is to stab the 24th member’s back.

The Senate we all know is an institution where the good-intentioned always end up being gobbled up by its rotten system such as s.o.p. from projects funded by their pork barrel.

The human greed for power, fame and wealth, which is by the way insatiable, can easily transform even the most well-intentioned into vultures. This is actually what happened to a good number of our senators and congressmen.

The lures of power, fame and wealth seems irresistible even to those who profess faith in the Lord.

In our gospel for today, Jesus asked the Father to “gather His people” in order to save them from evils.

Amante wins second term, LP dominates Butuan SP BUTUAN CITY – The City Board of Canvassers here proclaimed Tuesday evening Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. and 10 topnotchers in the race for the local council seats as winners in the May 13, 2013 political exercise at city hall’s third floor conference room.

Headed by City Election Officer IV Ernie Palanan, the local BOC announced the city officials who will hold the reins of this city’s government for the next three years in a room jampacked by the winners’ relatives and supporters.

Mindanao Daily News’

Daily HOROSCOPE AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Take a step today and see if you can keep on going -- inertia is a powerful force! Once you get things rolling, you should be able to keep up some kind of momentum until your good energy kicks back in.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Your dreams are more powerful than those of most other people, and tonight’s should be packed with advice, omens and good old-fashioned entertainment. Scribble down what you can in the morning to remember it all.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - This is not a good time to hide away your feelings -- either positive or negative. They are sure to pop out on their own anyway, and it’s far better for you to control the outlet than to wait and see what happens.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) -If you’re single, this could be a great day to ask out someone new.

If not, just enjoy the comfort of your sweetie and the good energy the day brings. Either way, you should feel better by tonight!

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - Now is a good time to get organized and stay that way. Make lists of what you need to do and ensure that you follow through on them as much as you can.

It’s a good time to take care of old business.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Start on something new today -- you’ve got to seize the initiative and push yourself out in a new direction. Things may start to look really good once you’ve made a day’s worth of progress!

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Your feelings are deeper than usual today, thanks to a powerful intuition that things are about to change for the better. Trust your gut and follow up any leads that seem likely to shake things up.

Knicks’ Iman Shumpert will start despite sore knee INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Knicks guard Iman Shumpert will start Tuesday night at Indiana despite having a sore, swollen left knee.

Coach Mike Woodson told reporters before the game that Shumpert was told there was no structural damage to the knee - the same one that required surgery last May after he tore a ligament.

The scare came Saturday night when Shumpert landed in

awkward twisting motion in an 82-71 Game 3 loss to the Pacers. Afterward, the knee swelled up, causing enough concern Tuesday that the team flew an orthopedic doctor to Indy to examine Shumpert, who did not participate in the team’s morning shootaround.

Forward Kenyon Martin and guard J.R. Smith, who missed practice Sunday and Monday because of illness, are expected to play, too. New York trails the Pacers 2-1.

Zubiri slate wins Malaybalay polls

By Walter I. Balane of MindaNews

MALAYBALAY City––The tandem of reelectionist Mayor Ignacio W. Zubiri and councilor Roland Deticio of the Bukidnon aglaum Party-administration team won wide margins over their rivals in the May 13 elections with six of their councilors already in the first seven slots as of 4 p.m. Tuesday.

The finalization of the 8th to 10th slots in the city council has been stalled due to three corrupted compact flash (CF) cards of the precinct count optical scan (PCOS).

This means a total of 2,117 votes from barangays 10, Bangcud, and St. Peter. Lawyer Gina Luna

increasing the budget for education and by fully supporting scholarship programs such as the Training for Work Scholarship Program of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority as well as implementing the Public Higher Education Roadmap of the Commission on Higher Education, teachers, students and schools are now better-equipped to impart and receive lessons.

“Totoo po na hindi nalilihis ang tutok natin sa pagsusulong ng dekalidad na edukasyon. Mula nang tayo’y manungkulan, taontaon nating inaangat ang budget ng basic education.

Sa katunayan mula sa mahigit 161 billion pesos na budget noong 2010, naitaas na natin ito sa mahigit 232 billion pesos ngayong 2013,” the President said.

“Sa Technical Education naman, nariyan ang Industry Based Training for Work Scholarship Program ng TESDA, na may higit sa 150,900 scholars nang hinasa at natulungan sa pamumuno ni Joel Villanueva,” he added.

“Samantala, para sa ating mga state universities and colleges, umaarangkada na ang Public Higher Education Roadmap ng CHED na ang isa sa mga layunin ay paunlarin ang mga pasilidad panturo ng ating mga State Universities and Colleges,” the President said.

He pointed out that under the helm of Education Secretary Armin Luistro, the textbook and table and chair gap has been already addressed while the classroom shortage of 66,800 will be fully complied with by the end of 2013.

“Walang duda: ang K to 12 Act ay bunga ng ating patuloy na pagsisikap na

Zayas-Sabio, Malaybalay election officer, told MindaNews Tuesday afternoon they have already requested authority to proclaim the winners that won’t be affected by the number of votes in spite of the three unreadable CF cards.

Zayas-Sabio said the CF cards were corrupted and could not be opened if accessed in the computer. She said they will wait for the replacement from Manila to arrive before they can officially canvass the votes from those three precincts. Vice mayor-elect Roland Deticio said the proclamation of the mayor, vice mayor and the first seven councilors is scheduled 9 a.m. today.

In the partial and unofficial list,

itulak ang makabuluhan at positibong reporma hindi lang sa sistemang pangedukasyon sa ating bansa, kundi maging sa lahat ng sektor ng ating lipunan.

Ito’y tagumpay na sumasalamin sa ating nagkakaisang hangarin na mamuhunan sa pinakamahalaga nating yaman—ang mamamayang Pilipino. Patunay ito sa isang panata: na walang maiiwan sa pagtahak natin sa landas tungo sa kaginhawaan,” the President said.

“Sa ating mabuting pamamahala, abot-kamay na po ng bawat Juan at Juana de la Cruz ang mga pangarap na dati’y ‘di man lang natin matanaw. Patuloy po tayong humakbang sa iisang direksyon at samasama nating iangat ang ating minamahal na bayan. Sa paglalatag natin ng tamang balangkas para sa ating sistemang pang-edukasyon, nilalatag din po natin ang saligan para sa isang Pilipinas na maunlad, mapayapa, at bukal ng pagkakataon para sa bawat Pilipino,” he concluded.

Clans... from page 1

1986, replaced local chief executives with OICs (officers–in-charge) and elected a new set of officials in 1988.

Although it took them six years to reclaim the gubernatorial post after their ouster in 1986, it took them only a year to be back in power: in the first postMarcos election for the House of Representatives and the Senate in 1987, the patriarchs — Mohammad Ali Dimaporo and Democrito O. Plaza – who had previously served for three decades as governor and congressman — were elected representative of their respective districts, along with Dimaporo’s son, Abdullah.

Zubiri got 28,672 votes, Marabe 17,745 votes, and Aldeguer with 16,893 votes.

Zubiri won in 34 of the city’s 46 barangays. Marabe and Aldeguer won in six barangays each . Marabe won in Barangay 1, 3, 4, 9, 11, and Casisang. Aldeguer won in Aglayan, Apo Macote, Imbayao, Mapulo, Miglamin, and Sinanglanan.

For vice mayor, Deticio won with 35,986 votes vs. Dr. Glorio Sajulga’s 20,434 votes.

For the city councilors, the administration slate got 9 of the 10 councilors – reelectionist Jay Warren Pabillaran (36,559), lawyer and political newcomer Rendon Sanggalang (24,320), reelectionist George Damasco Sr. (24,285),

Ali represented the second district of Lanao del Sur, Abdullah the second district of Lanao del Norte and Plaza the lone district of Agusan del Sur. By 1992, the clans were back at the top. Plaza and Dimaporo’s son, Abdullah, were elected governor. Ali remained in Congress.

In the post-Marcos era, clan members have been holding on to the governor’s seat in the last 21 years (seven terms) and the congressional seat in 17 years (five terms) either by succession or by swapping posts. ( See MindaNews Tables 1 and 2 below) Abdullah served as governor from 1992 to 1998, his wife Imelda from 1998 to 2007 and their son Mohammad Khalid since 2007.

Khalid is seeking a third term Except for the period 1992 to 2001, the Dimaporos have also been representing the 2nd congressional district since Congress reopened in 1987: Abdullah from 1987 to 1992 and 2001 to 2010, his daughter Fatima Aliah from 2010 to 2013. This year, Abdullah is returning to the post his daughter is vacating while his wife Imelda, who was elected 1st district representative in 2010, is seeking reelection.

In Agusan del Sur, the Plaza patriarch ran for governor in 1992 and was reelected in 1995 but died the same year. Vice Governor Alex Bascug took over but in the 1998 elections, Plaza’s widow, Valentina, who was governor from 1980 to 1986, made a comeback.

She retired from politics in 2001, the same year her son Adolph Edward won the seat she vacated.

Adolph Edward was reelected in 2004 but while he was expected to run for a third term, his sister, Ma.

former councilor Provo Antipasado (23,996), reelectionist Lorenzo Dinlayan (23,149), reelectionist Canoto Barroso (21,895), reelectionist Mya Rosos-Tenorio (17,567), former mayor Nicolas Jurolan (17,047), and Allied Bank vice president for Mindanao Louel Tortola (16,817).

The only candidate from the other parties in the top 10 is lawyer Hollis Monsanto at sixth place with 21,960 votes.

At the 11th and 12th spots are lawyer Burt Estrada (16,408) and balikbayan Marlon Valcorza (15,186).

Like Zubiri, Deticio’s family has been with politics. His mother Aurora was a city councilor before her retirement.

Valentina ran instead. He returned to the gubernatorial post in 2010 and is now seeking reelection.

After the 1987-1992 stint of the Plaza patriarch in Congress, the Plazas returned to Congress in 2001 and have stayed on. Adolph Edward’s brother, Rodolfo served from 2001 to 2010.

In 2010,Rodolfo, who ran for Senator but lost, was succeeded by sister. Ma. Valentina while another sister, Evelyn Plaza-Mellana represented the newly-created second district.

Adoph, Ma. Valentina and Evelyn are all running for reelection. Evelyn will be pitted against her brother Rodolfo. Another brother, Victor, is running for vice governor against Adolph’s running mate.

Another Plaza son, Democrito II, served as mayor of Butuan City in Agusan del Norte for five terms from 1992 to 2007, except for 2001 to 2004 when his wife Leonides Theresa was mayor. Democrito II passed away on October 29, 2010.

Add’l wells constructed in Oro brgys CAGAYAN de Oro City––As it seeks to address the city’s growing demand for water specially in areas like Calaanan where relocation sites abound, the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD) has contracted out drilling of two additional production wellsPW No. 10A in Calaanan and PW No. 30 in Macasandig.

The construction of these facilities brings to 27 the total number of COWD production wells where CDO residents and establishments source their water needs.

COWD also purchases treated water from a bulk supplier to augment its existing supply. Drilling has already started and is to be completed in 90 days.

Completion of these 2 wells is expected to bring an additional supply equivalent to 100 liters per second or about 15% increase in COWD’s production capacity in the West Service Area and another 20% in its Central Service Area.

Even as it continues with its rehabilitation from Sendong with the grants from both the Office of the President and JICA, COWD continues to undertake measures to improve and expand its services consistent with its mission and vision. (COWD/PIA)

and money.”

He added: “It is all the more painful to realize that many of our so-called political leaders and even our religious leaders have closed their eyes to the excesses and abuses of the current leadership just because of thick wads of money.”

But Mendoza, who also defeated Piñol in 2010, said she won based on accomplishments and performance.

She said that with her estimated margin of 35,000 votes it would be expensive for her to resort to votebuying.

Partial and unofficial results posted on the GMA News website showed that the incumbent governor had garnered 168,019 votes and her opponent 134,668 votes.

Mendoza particularly walloped Piñol in her hometown Carmen. In an initial result as of 8 p.m. Tuesday posted on the Commission on Elections website, Mendoza got 9,529 votes while the former governor only had 296 votes.

But before conceding, Piñol had earlier posted in his website that the towns of Carmen and Pikit may decide the fate of his candidacy.

“While in the unofficial results from the Election Returns as of 12:30 a.m. today showed that I was still leading by over 15,000 votes, the results from Carmen town, the base of my political opponent, showed that I almost got no votes while she gained 25,000 votes out of the 26,025 registered voters in the town for an incredible turn out,” he wrote.

But Mendoza retorted: “He can say what he wants.”

In Piñol’s hometown M’lang, initial results posted on the Comelec website as of 8 p.m.

Tuesday showed he led Mendoza by 2,000 votes.

The former governor also lamented that he lost by a big margin in Pikit town.

“In Pikit town, I also got clobbered by over 16,000 votes, which means that when results from these two towns come in, I would lose my lead and trail by almost 30,000 votes.”

In the May 2010 elections, Mendoza garnered 236,966 votes against Piñol’s 199,332.

Piñol filed an electoral protest, claiming irregularities during the balloting. He said the election was “seriously tainted and defective” in about 1,280 precincts.

But in June 2012, the Comelec dismissed the case for lack of merit. (Keith Bacongco / MindaNews)
