FASTEST RECOVERY According to DSWD10 representative Daisy Ramos, as early as April 2012, the city was able to turnover houses to IDPs affected by the December 2011 calamity. She said this was the fastest turnover and transfer process ever experienced by the DSWD. Families no longer passed through transitory houses but were immediately

transferred to permanent houses, she added.

Ramos stressed that this would not have been possible without the support and cooperation of Mayor Emano and the city government.

For her part, the representative of Habitat for Humanity Philippines also hailed Mayor Emano and city officials for the sup-

Public utility cmte to act on concerns of Gusa dads

The City Council committee on public utilities chaired by Councilor Alden Bacal is set to tackle Resolution No. 2013-303-51 of Barangay Gusa requesting the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) to provide the barangay with citation tickets for issuance to erring motorists along the national highway and to those illegally parking their vehicles along the Gal-

axy/Camacawan road and along the old road.

According to barangay officials, there are illegal parking violations such as double parking and overnight parking along the old road from the junction portion of the old road and national highway up to the gasoline station.

Dumptrucks, ten-wheeler trucks, delivery vans, PUJs and even trailers have been parked

for a number of weeks ignoring the “No Parking� signs installed in the area.

This has reportedly caused much trouble to motorists as the road has become too narrow endangering the lives and limbs of the pedestrians, the resolution cited.

In addition to this, barangay officials claim that early warning devices to caution passing motorists and pedestrians are not being installed and that drivers and operators repetitively park at their own whims and caprices not minding the imminent danger that their vehicles has posed to the community and the irreparable damages that it may inflict.

It was learned that barangay officials, members of the barangay police and Karancho, an organization of motorists, have undergone seminars regarding traffic rules and regulations.

Mindanao Star 3 Billboard Congress cites bills passed since 2011 tuesday april 2, 2013

By Mel Ascutia

IMPORTANT bills on governance, money laundering, and taxation approved by the Philippines’ two legislative houses in their 15th Congress were some of the bills signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III over the past three years, reports Acting Senate Secretary Edwin Bellen.

On good governance and anticorruption, Republic Act No. 10149-or the GOCC Governance Act of 2011-was approved by the President on June 6, 2011.

The law creates an oversight body to advise, monitor, and supervise government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) as well as formulate and impose sanctions on erring GOCCs and their officers. GOCCs are also mandated by this law to comply with the full-disclosure requirement, Bellen said in a presentation at a forum organized by the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines early this month.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Money Laundering Law, or R.A. No. 9160, was amended during the 15th Congress to increase the investigative powers of the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).

R.A. No. 10167, signed into law June 18, 2012, amends sections 10 and 11 of R.A. No. 9160 to enable the AMLC to probe deposits, investments, or accounts that are

suspected of being used in money laundering activities. It also allows the freezing of monetary instruments or property for probable cause.

R.A. No. 10365, enacted February 15, 2013, is another antimoney laundering regulation, which expands the list of entities required to report financial transactions to the AMLC. Now on the list are pre-need companies, money changers, real estate agents, and dealers of precious stones and metals.

The law likewise enlarges the scope of money-laundering crimes listed under trafficking in persons, bribery, counterfeiting, fraud and

other illegal exactions, forgery, malversation, environmental crimes, and terrorism and its financing.

Relatedly, R.A. No. 10168, or the Terrorist Financing Act signed June 18, 2012, reinforces the fight against terrorism by outlawing and penalizing the financing of terrorism.

Bellen added that under this law, the AMLC is now authorized to investigate the property or funds of persons suspected of financing or engaging in terrorist acts.

The Sin Tax Law, or R.A. No. 10351, signed December 20, 2012, increases the excise tax on alcohol and cigarettes beginning January

1 this year.

Bellen said the law will help generate funds for the government’s health-care program and provide assistance to local government units.

Most recently, the President signed on March 7, 2013 R.A. No. 10374, which exempts foreign carriers operating in the country from paying the common carriers tax and gross Philippine billings tax in a move seen to boost the global competitiveness of the country’s aviation and tourism industries.

Bellen’s talk also touched on the national budget allocation for 2013, “an important tool to pump

economic growth, especially now that the administration is talking about inclusive growth.”

Congress approved a P2-trillion budget for this year, with two departments-education and public works and highways-given the biggest allocations.

The education department received P293.32 billion since “Congress has recognized the importance of education in nurturing the youth,” said the official.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) was given a P152.4-billion budget “to strengthen our system of roads and bridges, some of which have taken the brunt of natural calamities,” he continued. “Infrastructure development supports the requirements for commerce to grow and government’s obligation to its taxpayers.”

For the third straight year, Mindanao got the biggest slice of the government’s infrastructure budget at P27.6 billion, or 26 percent of DPWH’s infrastructure funds.

To date, 288 bills are waiting for approval by President Aquino, including the freedom of information bill, amendatory law on the Insurance Code, and the bill on infusing foreign equity in rural banks, Bellen said.

The 15th Congress adjourns on the first week of June this year.

Mao kini ang gibuhat ni “Maria Magdalena” nga siya gayud maoy “pinaka una” nga nangita ni Jesus didto sa lubnganan ug kini “lig-ong ebedensya” nga aduna siyay “dakong pagtuo” sa gisulti ni Jesus nga siya mabanhaw sa ika tulo ka adlaw.

Sa Lukas8:2-si Magdalena gigulaan sa pito ka yawa ug naayo.

Biblical Reflection

BRO. EDCEL L. CLOSAS

atong makita nga nausab si Maria Magdalena tungod sa gipakita nga gugma ug kaayo ni JesuKristo.Sa Juan15:13- Walay bisan kinsa nga may gugma nga labaw pa niini, nga ang usa ka tawo magahalad sa iyang kinabuhi sa pagpakamatay alang sa iyang mga higala.

Kini ang nagtukmod ni Jesus nganong “wala malisang” sa dihang iyang gibabagan ang mga tawong miaksyon ug bato kang Maria Magdalena.Mao kini kusog /P5

The death Jesus died for you

II Timothy 1:10b “but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”.

Who is afraid of death?

Of all the fears that rule the hearts of most men, no fear is greater than the fear of death.

We know how to kill but we don’t know how to die.

When we face the prospect of our own death, we don’t know what to say or what to do.

People say that nothing is certain but death. We cannot avoid death or put it off. When your time is up, your time is up.

This is a subject we’d rather not talk about, especially on such a happy occasion.

But if we can’t talk about death on Easter, when can we talk about it?

The very essence of this day is a celebration that one man has slipped through

The New Generation Alex A. Podador the grave and come back to tell us about it.

Death could not hold him. And now he holds the keys of death and hell.

If death has been abolished, why do we still die?

I think the most obvious answer is that we die because of sin. Romans 5:12 tells us that death came to the world because of Adam’s sin.

First there was Adam, then there was sin, then there was death.

Sin always leads to death and as long as sin exists in the world death will never be very far away.

How certain is the fact of your death? So certain.

Let’s pause to consider the bare facts surrounding

Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Jesus died, He was buried, the women wept.

Where, then, is our hope? It rests not on Good Friday or in the long hours of that lonely Saturday.

Our only hope may be found in what happened early on Easter Sunday morning.

If Jesus was nothing more than a man, then we have no hope at all. And our dreams of immortality are just that – idle dreams.

But there is good news from the graveyard this morning. There’s an empty tomb in the cemetery. It’s the tomb of Jesus Christ.

He died on Friday afternoon, they buried him on Friday evening, and by

Sunday morning his tomb was empty.

This is God’s good news – that death could not hold him, that the grave could not keep him, that he is the Lord of life, the King immortal and eternal.

How did he destroy death? He could only conquer death by entering the realm of death, unlocking the door, and marching out on Easter Sunday triumphant over the grave.

He died like we die. He was really dead, actually dead, completely dead. He wasn’t partly dead or mostly dead.

He was as dead as any person could be. And from that state of death God raised him back to life.

He himself walked into that dark valley alone. He faced cold death and looked into its awful face.

He stared down death, broke its power, and walked away victorious.

One day death will die!

O God, let that day come soon!

TV ads ni Gob SA miaging semana, atong nakita sa usa ka television station dinhi’s dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro ang nagpungasi nga political ads ni Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno.

Daghan dayon ang miingon nga daghan gyod diay og sapi ang gobernador kay sayod kita nga pwerte kamahal ang TV spots.

Mibutho dayon ang mga pagduda nga kabahin sa gibayad sa nahisgotang television ads ang gikan sa PhP193 milyones nga casgh advances sa kapitolyo, o kaha kabahin sa P150 milyones ka pesos nga kunohay nawalang kinitaan sa MisOrtel.

Inato Ra Ni, Bai Jun Felicilda Sa maong television ads, iyang gipanghinambog ang mga proyekto sa lalawigan.

Ubay-ubay gyud hinoon, pero matud pa sa akong higala nga basta daghan og projects, dako sab og commission.

Wala ta nasayod sa kadako sa iyang bayad maong television ads, apan sa atong kasinati-an, mahal gayod basta telebisyon.

Kung unsa kadako ang

gibayran, posibleng dako sab ang commission sa nag-negotiate ana.

Gisulo ra ba ni gobernador ang iyahang television ads. Wala niya gi-apil ang iyahang mga kaubang kandidato.

L o oy r a b a k a ay o kanang iyang mga kauban kay wala gayod manga-ilhi sa katawhan. Naglibog man ang ang katawhan,

kung asa gikan nga planeta kanang mga tawhana, Kung commission ang hisgotan, dako sab kuno ang buto gikan niadtong pagkaon nga gi-cater atol sa pag-anhi ni Presidente Pnoy.

Dako ang commission mao nga na-short sa pagka-on. Bisan ang ginsakpan sa media nga mi-cover sa maong kalihokan, wala naabti sa pagka-on. Kung duna man ugaling tagamedia nga nakaka-on, kadto rang dool sa ilahang dughan.

Pastilan, kagrabe gyod diay sa panapi diha sa kapitolyo, no? Ang makapuli puhon diha sa kapitolyo, maproblemahan gayod.

What has happen to our city CRIMINALITY on the rise?

Travelers are alarmed by the series of events pulled from Police report that dampen human spirits and strike fear of safety to our citizens. It reminds us of a famous line uttered by the illustrious son of Misamis Oriental, the late Vice President Emmanuel Pelaez who was in the brink of death after he was ambushed and wounded in the streets of Manila in the late 70’s. Criminal activities are no longer confined in the big cities of the National Capital Region but have gone to as far as the corridor of a friendly city that is now poised to equal if not surpass the crime rate of bigger cities in the metropolis.

From our deep slumber we would like to think and

welcome bearer of good news instead of sensational crime stories in the local dailies and radio flash reports. Time is fast changing with the economics and population of our city that has not been prepared and strategized as growth comes.

We allowed dark alleys and overcrowding of city dwellers with informal settlers’ crowding ever y corner of a vacant public space.

Mendicancy and begging are tolerated even in the perimeter of church yards, major road intersection and the vicinity of public buildings. Disorderly situations and lack of jobs contribute to criminality.

With no immediate and firm solutions to the series of crimes that hit the city,

TRAVERSING THE TOURISM HI-WAY by: PED T. QUIAMJOT children may be forced to imagine the arrival of the Power Rangers intervening to fight the Predators or old folks resort to prayers for divine intervention never mind if there is a saying that goes this way, “man has to do his best and God will take care of the rest”. Do we really need those teeny boppers’ characters in our midst to fight criminality or have we done our best effort to prevent crimes? The sporadic incidents reported in the

local newspaper headlines points to a breakdown of peace and order. It is not an isolated incident but it now appears as a daily grind that cowered the innocents and disturb the business community.

Criminality strike fear among helpless citizens and the travelling public. Much more drive away investments especially if foreign nationals are the victims. It city /P5

Kapatagan town renews commitment to peace

PIA News Bits Director Abner M. Caga PIA, R10 & 13 Cluster

By Apipa P. Bagumbaran MARAWI CITY - Stakeholders from several sectors, including peace advocates in the municipality of Kapatagan, have renewed their commitment to peace by entering into a covenant last March 18.

The covenant calls for the continuous unification of Muslims and Christians, reconciliation of tribal and family differences and respect for the different cultures and traditions for a

peaceful and progressive Kapatagan.

The renewal of commitment marked the town’s 11th anniversary of being a peace zone.

Barangay Daguan was the first to be declared as a zone of peace in March 18, 2002. The declaration was later expanded to cover the other 14 barangays of the municipality.

Municipal Mayor Nhazruddin Maglangit said the

declaration was made possible under the leadership of his wife and former town mayor Raida Maglangit, now a commissioner of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF).

He said the town was dubbed as a "No man's land" 10 years ago because it was plagued by armed conflict and clan wars. He added that there was only one school and mosque left then in Barangay Daguan.

To day, the town is thriving with improved infrastructure facilities and livelihood projects.

Police Senior Insp. Barlowe D. Espiga, Kapatagan chief of police, said the town has also obtained a zero mortality rate when it comes to rido (family feud) because disputes were settled immediately.

Kapatagan won the Gawad Galing Pook Award in 2010. (APB/PIA10/asf )

Caraga women strengthens gender advocacy BUTUAN CITY - The dance “Break the Chain” of the One Billion Rising Movement was jointly performed by the gender advocates in Caraga Region during the culminating program of the 2013 Women’s Month celebration. The activity was part of their advocacy to prevent and address the abuse and exploitation of migrant women workers, through holistic direct services, leadership training, community engagement and survivor-driven outreach & training.

JICA launches SND road LANAO DEL NORTE - The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has launched the farmto-market road (FMR) in Sultan Naga Dimaporo town. The 2.2 kilometers FMR is under the SNDARC Rakim. It is located at Sitio Junction National Highway connecting to Sitio Langgoyo and traverses the MSU-Lanao Norte Agricultural College (MSULNAC).

Life-saving capability of youths stressed BUTUAN CITY - Butuan City Local Youth Development Council Coordinator Agnes Carlos stressed that young folks, as early as possible, should be trained how to save themselves in times of calamities. “If these young people are well-trained, they can also help in saving other people’s lives,” she said.

belonging to the NPA’s Guerilla Front 21C, North Eastern Mindanao Committee (NEMRC), while having a station of the cross, early morning of Good Friday in Sitio Iyaw, Brgy Anticala, Butuan City.

Reports reaching the Mindanao Star Daily said the penitents, led by Fr. Amalla himself, were at the fourth station when fired upon by the rebels.

Accusing the NPAs to have disrespected the solemnity of the ceremony, Fr. Amalla asked, “why do they attack us?”

One CAFGU member, who was part of the government force sent to secure the said religious activity, died in the attack.

“We pray for the soul of our soldier, who died while protecting us,” Fr. Amalla stated.

For his part, Lt. Col. Potenciano C. Camba, commanding officer of the 3rd Special Forces Battalion, Philippine Army, commented that it was not the time and place for fighting.

“We were there to observe the season of lent and to pray for peace,” he said even as he sent out

reinforcement troops to the area to track down the attackers.

W h i l e g o v e r n m e nt troopers were exchanging gun fires with the rebels, the penitents continued to the 14th station, saying “the NPAs cannot stop us from praying because we know that God will always be there to protect us.

Good Friday, March 29, was the 44th Anniversary of the NPA. (with report from 1Lt. Joe Patrick A. Martinez)

Cruz..... from page 1

Si Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz gustong makigdayalog uban kang Iligan Bishop Elenito Galido ug sa kaparian sa Diocese of Iligan mahitungod niini nga isyu ug sa planong pagbaligya sa Iligan Diesel Power Plant (IDPP).

Miangkon si Mayor Cruz nga siya nabalaka sa anti-casino prayer rally nga gipahigayon sa pipila ka ginsakpan sa simbahang Romano Katoliko.

Siya nagtoo nga misinformation ang nadawat sa kaparian, ilabi na kabahin sa isyu sa IDPP. Sayo pa niana, gipasabot sa mayor nga wala’y igong pundo ang siyudad sa pag-

is retrogression to business because crime is a disease which adds costs to security and endangers human lives.

We still have to hear a marching order from those who are in-charge directing the Police to capture and bring to justice the perpetrators.

In Davao City, the marching order is capture and punish.

Criminals are given 24 hours to surrender or get out before they are dead.

A city government with unaudited intelligence funds and direct Police supervision should be made accountable to the public for this rush of crimes. Have they exhibited their visibility and lend their multimillion discretionary funding to help the Police effort prevent and find the solutions? Fighting criminality for our elected officials is winning public support. Their lack of sincere actions or the absence of it deserves public

alienations because peace and order are the joint effort of those who enforce the laws and those who created them.

Do we need new heroes in our time to breathe augurs to our drive for an orderly city?

The public is aware that it is an election period, campaigns and accommodations are the priorities of those who govern many are now running to keep their post. The more that that they should be sensitive to public issues and act according to their sworn oath of protecting and serving their citizens.

The late Arsenio Lacson, a former Congressman and erstwhile Mayor of Manila in the early 60’s use to walk in the streets of Manila in the evening with the foot patrol of the Manila Police Department to have a grasp of peace and order.

Ramon Magsaysay when he was still the Secretary of National Defense before being elected as the 5th President of the Philippine Republic visits far flung villages in Central Luzon to reach out to the leaders of the Hukbalahap movement to convince them to return to the fold of the law by offering land reform beneficiaries to the communist rebels. Those were the leaders whose contribution to achieve peace and order matters most to our elders even if in their times the “intelligence funds” were not yet invented.

Good governance starts with SAFE elections – DILG-10 Chief

By Rutchie C. Aguhob

Atty. Rene K. Burdeos

OROQUIETA CIT Y Good governance starts with the conduct of a safe and fair election (SAFE) that serves as a test for the people to support the “Matuwid na Daan” (Straight Path) of the Aquino Administration.

This was the message of Atty. Rene K. Burdeos, regional director of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), region 10, to the

more than 370 candidates for the May 13, 2013 elections in Misamis Occidental during the recent Peace Covenant Signing initiated by the Provincial Joint Security Control Center (PJSCC).

Foremost in the covenant was the commitment by the candidates in the congressional, provincial and municipal level to abide by all election laws, rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

The Covenant also asked the candidates to commit to the following: To conduct a high level campaign, explaining their program of government, qualifications, reasons for seeking public office and provide the people with accurate information that will help them assess the candidates’ fitness for public office.

To treat their opponents as they would want them to treat the candidates and

to campaign on issues, only, and that character assassination and false promises will not be part of their strategies.

To refrain from using guns, goons and gold to win in the elections and to strongly admonish their followers and supporters to desist from using violence, deceit and fraud and other unfair and dishonest practices to ensure their election.

To remember always that as God’s steward on earth, they must promote Safe, Clean and Healthy environment and a unequivocal reverence of life and to refrain from imploring methods that would thwart and subvert the will of the people and endanger the sanctity of the ballot.

To avoid any and all illegal drug business, all forms of illegal gambling, extra judicial killings, votebuying and any form of cheating in the elections, exorbitant campaigning

and to abide by the decision of the majority and be magnanimous in victory and grateful in defeat.

With Burdeos to witness the signing were the Election Officers (EOs) of the different LGUs of the province led by Atty. Stalin A. Baguio, Provincial Elections Supervisor (PES) and Archbishop Jesus Dosado of Ozamis, represented by Rev. Fr. Arnold Daplin of the Holy Rosary Parish.

Also present were P/ Sr. Supt. David Umbao, deputy regional director for Operations, Philippine National Police (PNP), Region 10; Brig.

General Felicito Virgilio M. Trinidad, asst. division commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Philippine Army (1ID,PA); and Lt. Col. Rommel B. Almaria, commander of the 55th Infantry Battalion (55IB), representing the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

DOH-ARMM deploys more midwives to region’s far flung communities While political aspirants in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao have started campaign activities, the health department in the ARMM, also started its own campaign - campaign to address maternal and infant health care needs in far flung communities.

The Department of Health in the ARMM have deployed 68 more midwives to Lanao del Sur as part of the agency’s Midwives in Every Community in ARMM (MECA) project.

Dr. Kadil Sinolinding, Jr., DOH-ARMM regional secretary, said the MECA project will help address maternal and infant care needs of villagers in farflung areas in the autonomous region.

ARMM is composed of the provinces of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur and the island provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi, and the cities of Lamitan and Marawi.

“Under the ECA Project, midwives were trained to provide basic health services, including care of

pregnant women, infants, and lactating mothers,” the DOH-ARMM regional health chief said in a statement.

In November last year, the DOH-ARMM has hired and deployed more than 300 midwives to communities in the five component province to attend to the health needs of Moros living in remote villages who could hardly go to town centers for their medical needs.

Sinolinding said hsi office will continue to hire registered midwives to help prevent maternal death and help mothers come up with healthy babies.

What is unique in the MECA project, according to Sinolinding was that DOH-ARMM midwives will have to reside in the communities where they serve to effectively implement the government projects.

Aside from their basic duties as midwives, these health workers will also educate women and mothers on the reproductive health. (PNA) DSP/NYP/ EOF
