Rene Almendras who was then the Cabinet Secretary of Pres. Aquino and very pro-Aboitiz went to the CDA Central Office and expressed his anger. In fact, then CDA Chairman, Dr. Emmanuel Santiaguel was charged in the Ombudsman but the case was dismissed. When Dr. Santiaguel ended his term and was replaced by yours truly who was adjudged guilty by the Ombudsman, for what? For issuing a Certificate of Compliance (COC) to DANECO. Why

(SGD) HON. OSOP M. ALI

Presiding Judge should a COC be issued? Well, DANECO did comply with all of the requirements and before the Chairman signed the COC, all of those CDA officials, i.e., regional director, lawyers, had already given their signatures. Thus, the signing of the Chairman was just ministerial! DANECO is now owned and managed by the ABOITIZ, thus, a social wrong has not been rectified, not even by an agency whose primary mandate is to foster the growth and viability of cooperativism as instrument of equity, social justice and economic development. For doing his job, for doing what is right and what is true

Recently, it is so amazing for the Sandigan Bayan when the Honorable Court promulgated the decision on the criminal case against former CDA Chairman Ravanera, declaring him NOT GUILTY devoid of any civil liability. Such should be known by the Ombudsman

When will this social injustice committed against the 13 million members be rectified? The time has come to put power where it rightfully belongs, that is, with the people. Yes, these so-called ECs are providing light to their members, yet, they put them in

Cooperativizing the electric cooperatives is an empowering tool to liberate our people from the quagmire of poverty, to be drawn into the mainstream of development processes. It must first recognize the members as member-consumerowners.

Yes, the root cause of poverty is the people’s powerlessness to have access and control over their utilities that they rightfully owned. But there are some oligarchs who cannot moderate

Meanwhile, the defendants are given sixty (60) days after the completion of the last publication of summons to file with this court their Answer to the complaint filed against them in the above-captioned case..

SO ORDERED.”

WHEREAS, Complaint reads:

C O M P L A I N T

(With Urgent Prayer for Issuance of Writ of Possession)

Plaintiff, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), by counsel, respectfully states that:

1. Plaintiff is a private corporation created and existing under Philippine laws, with principal office address at NGCP Building, Quezon Avenue corner BIR Road, Diliman, Quezon City. It may be served with notices and other court processes through its Right-of-Way Department (ROWD) – Mindanao Division, Maria Cristina, Iligan City, copy furnished the aforementioned principal office.

2. Pursuant to Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9511, plaintiff was granted a franchise to operate, manage and maintain, and in connection therewith, to engage in the business of conveying or transmitting electricity through a high-voltage back-bone system of interconnected transmission lines, substations and related facilities, systems operations, and other activities that are necessary to support the safe and reliable operation of a transmission system and to construct, install, finance, manage, improve, expand, operate, maintain, rehabilitate, repair and refurbish the present nationwide transmission system of the Republic of the Philippines.

3. Under Section 4 of the same law, plaintiff was granted the power of eminent domain, subject to the requirements of the Constitution and existing laws.

4. Plaintiff is engaged in the business of transmitting electric power from the generating plants of power producers to distributors. As such, plaintiff’s business is imbued with public interest.

5. To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP) , integral part of which is the KAUSWAGAN-LALA 230kv TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project).

6. The said MVIP of NGCP is the first project certified by the Department of Energy (DOE) as an Energy Project of National Significance (EPNS ) pursuant to R.A. 7638 of DOE Act of 1992, as amended, entitled to all the rights and privileges provided under Executive Order No. 30, series of 2017, as evidenced by the Certification dated 8 May 2018 issued by the Energy Investment Coordinating Council. Hence, the immediate completion and energization of the said project is critically important.

7. Defendants HEIRS OF JAIME G. ESTAVAS, namely: Emmanuel A. Estavas, Esmeraldo A. Estavas, Ma. Ione A. EstavasLongcob, Jossie Fe A. Estavas-Tionko, and Albien A. Estavas, are all of legal age and Filipinos. They may be served with summons and other processes of this Honorable Court at their respective address indicated below opposite their names, viz: with the filing of the instant Complaint, a Notice to Take Possession (attached as Annex “A”) upon the defendants.

15. To comply with the deposit requirement, plaintiff, notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to it, shall deposit with the Honorable Court an amount equivalent to the 100% of the BIR zonal value of the land sought to be expropriated, plus the cost of improvements, in the total amount of TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY PESOS (Php21,450.00) , consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of the Project intended to benefit the public.

16. Upon deposit of the provisional amount, plaintiff would have fully complied with the requirements for the issuance of a writ of possession as mandated by law.

17. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing . Thus, as cited in the said circular:

“Municipality of Cordova v. Pathfinder Development Corporation emphazises the mandatory issuance of the writ of possession upon the receipt of the required deposit. “No hearing is actually required for the issuance of a writ of possession, which demands only two (2) requirements: (a) the sufficiency in form and substance of the complaint; and (b) the required provisional deposit x x x x Upon compliance with these requirements, the petitioner in an expropriation case is entitled to a writ of possession as a matter of right and the issuance of the writ becomes ministerial” (Emphasis supplied) .

18. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem , wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the i mmediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.

19. An action quasi in rem names a person as defendant, but its object is to subject that person’s interest in a property to a corresponding lien or obligation. In a proceeding quasi in rem , jurisdiction over the person of the defendant is not a prerequisite to confer jurisdiction on the court, provided that the latter has jurisdiction over the res.

20. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.

21. Plaintiff intends to present three (3) witnesses, namely: a) Engr. Licinio B. Capili, b) Engr. Nolito L. Notar, and c) Winsor C. Abaga, Sr. , to establish, among others, NGCP’s authority to exercise the power of eminent domain, the propriety of its exercise in this case, and the bases for the determination of the just compensation. Copies of their Judicial Affidavits (with attached Exhibits “A” to “K” ) are attached as Annexes B, C, and D and made an integral part hereof. Plaintiff intends to present additional witnesses if necessary.

P R A Y E R

WHEREFORE , premises considered, plaintiff most respectfully prays of this Honorable Court to:

1. ISSUE a Writ of Possession in plaintiff’s favor; authorizing plaintiff to enter and take possession of the property subject of this complaint that will be affected by the construction and implementation of the Project , consisting of a total area of 275-square meters , more or less, as described in paragraph 8 hereof; direct the Philippine National Police (PNP) to assist plaintiff in the implementation of the said writ of possession so that project construction can immediately commence even during the pendency of the case and/or for the conduct of the counting of affected improvements, if necessary; direct the Registry of Deeds for the Province of Lanao del Norte to enter the Writ of Possession in the Primary Entry Book and annotate the same in the Registration Book pursuant to Section 69 of Presidential Decree No. 1529;

2. After issuance of Writ of Possession, ISSUE an Order of Publication allowing plaintiff to effect service of summons to Defendants Jossie Fe A. Estavas-Tionko, Albien A. Estavas and other defendants, if applicable, by publication, pursuant to Sections 16 and 17, Rule 14 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedures;

3. ISSUE an Order of Expropriation declaring that the plaintiff has a lawful right to take possession and acquire the affected property specified in paragraph 9 hereof;

4. After the determination of just compensation, to authorize the payment thereof by plaintiff to defendants after deducting the capital gains and documentary stamp taxes for the transfer of the affected portion of Lot No. 1943-A-1, PSD-10-057960, in the name of plaintiff, all other outstanding taxes under the National Internal Revenue Code, and all outstanding realty taxes and dues under the Local Government Code, which plaintiff shall remit to the Government;

5. ISSUE a judgment after determination of just compensation, declaring plaintiff as the lawful owner of the affected portion of the unidentified lot consisting of a total area of 275 square meters , more or less, described in paragraph 8 hereof;

6. DIRECT: a. The Registry of Deeds for the Province of Lanao del Norte to register and annotate the Order of Expropriation and Judgment on the TCT No. T-25,944 or any certificate of title that may hereafter be issued covering the property subject of this case pursuant to Section 85 of Presidential Decree No. 1529; b. The Municipal Assessor of Baroy and/or Provincial Assessor of Lanao del Norte to cancel Tax Declaration No. H-130191 (03) and issue new and separate tax declaration in the name of plaintiff covering the portion of the subject property sought to be expropriated herein.

4. Plaintiff is engaged in the business of transmitting electric power from the generating plants of power producers to distributors. As such, plaintiff’s business is imbued with public interest.

5. To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP ), integral part of which is the KAUSWAGAN-LALA 230kv TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project).

7. The identities and whereabouts of Defendants UNKNOWN HEIRS OF TIMOTEA PASANTING cannot be ascertained despite diligent inquiry. Hence, plaintiff undertakes to cause service of summons to them by publication pursuant to sections 16 and 17, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court. They are impleaded as defendants in this case since the late Timotea Pasanting is the alleged claimant of the property sought to be expropriated in this case.

8. Defendants MARIETTA ABALOS and HEIRS OF FRANCISCO ABALOS, namely: Marietta Florenz Galleto, Cecille Abalos, Lucio Jesus Abalos, Frank Martin Abalos, Maria Josefa Tan are all of legal age and Filipinos. They may be served with summons and other processes of this Honorable Court at their respective address indicated below opposite their names, viz:

Considering that the specific addresses of defendants Lucio Jesus Abalos, Frank Martin Abalos, and Maria Josefa Tan cannot be ascertained despite diligent inquiry, and defendants Marietta Florenz Galleto and Cecille Abalos are residing outside the Philippines, plaintiff undertakes to cause service of summons to them by publication pursuant to Sections 16 and 17, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court. They are impleaded herein as defendants pursuant to Section 1, Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure, being the alleged claimants of the subject property.

9. Defendants HEIRS OF PEDRO COMONSAD, namely: Luis M. Comonsad, Anaclita C. Oblienda, Amor C. Villamor, Enrique M. Comonsad, Jacky L. Yvanez, Alfredo F. Comonsad, Jr., Alice C. Mantos, and Heirs of Pedro Comonsad, Jr. namely: Luis M. Comonsad, and Fritzell M. Comonsad , are all of legal age and Filipinos. They may be served with summons and other processes of this Honorable Court at their respective address indicated below opposite their names, viz: the portion of the subject property, to ensure stability and reliability of the power supply in Mindanao and other regions of the country.

12. Plaintiff negotiated with defendants for the acquisition of the affected portion of the subject property and to pay the cost of improvements therein that may be damaged by the construction of the transmission line project. However, no agreement was reached between the parties.

13. Considering the urgent need for plaintiff to enter the subject property to implement and commence the necessary construction activities for its Project, plaintiff has no other recourse but to file the instant complaint.

14. Pursuant to Section 13 of R.A. 11361, Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure governs plaintiff’s expropriation cases. Under Section 2 of Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff may already enter and possess the portion of the subject property during the pendency of the expropriation case.

15. Section 2 of Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure states that:

“SEC. 2. Entry of plaintiff upon depositing value with authorized government depositary. – Upon the filing of the complaint or at any time thereafter and after due notice to the defendant, the plaintiff shall have the right to take or enter upon the poss ession of the real property involved if he deposits with the authorized government depositary an amount equivalent to the assessed value of t he property for purposes of taxation to be held by such bank subject to the orders of the court. Such deposit shall be in money, unless in lieu thereof the court authorizes the deposit of a certificate of deposit of a government bank of the Republic of the Philippin es payable on demand to the authorized government depositary.” [Emphasis supplied]

16. In compliance with the notice requirement, plaintiff notified defendants through a Letter Offer of its intention to file an expropriation case if the possession over the subject property cannot be timely secured and/or issues regarding compensation for the subject property cannot be resolved except through judicial intervention. Plaintiff further serves, simultaneous with the filing of the instant Complaint, a Notice to Take Possession (attached as Annex “A” ) upon the defendants.

17. To comply with the deposit requirement, plaintiff, notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to it, shall deposit with the Honorable Court an amount equivalent to the 100% of the BIR zonal value of the land sought to be expropriated, plus the cost of improvements, in the total amount of TWO HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED TWO PESOS (Php224,402.30) , consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of the Project intended to benefit the public.

18. Upon deposit of the provisional amount, plaintiff would have fully complied with the requirements for the issuance of a writ of possession as mandated by law.

19. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing . Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the portion of the property and start the implementation of the project.

20. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem , wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it c oncerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value , including the amount to be deposited.

21. An action quasi in rem names a person as defendant, but its object is to subject that person’s interest in a property to a corresponding lien or obligation. In a proceeding quasi in rem , jurisdiction over the person of the defendant is not a prerequisite to confer jurisdiction on the court, provided that the latter has jurisdiction over the res.

22. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.

23. Plaintiff intends to present three (3) witnesses, namely: a) Engr. Licinio B. Capili , b) Engr. Nolito L. Notar, and c) Winsor C. Abaga, Sr. , to establish, among others, NGCP’s authority to exercise the power of eminent domain, the propriety of its exercise in this case, and the bases for the determination of the just compensation. Copies of their Judicial Affidavits (with attached Exhibits “A” to “I ”) are attached as Annexes B, C, and D and made an integral part hereof. Plaintiff intends to present additional witnesses if necessary. P R A Y E R

WHEREFORE , premises considered, plaintiff most respectfully prays of this Honorable Court to:

1. ISSUE a Writ of Possession in plaintiff’s favor; authorizing plaintiff to enter and take possession of the property subject of this complaint that will be affected by the construction and implementation of the Project, consisting of a total area of 2,683 square meters , more or less, as described in paragraph 10 hereof; demolish the affected improvement and/or structures standing therein; order all defendant to vacate the same; directing the Philippine National Police (PNP) to assist plaintiff in the implementation of the said writ of possession so that project construction can immediately commence even during the pendency of the case; direct the Registry of Deeds for the Province of Lanao del Norte to enter the Writ of Possession in the Primary Entry Book and annotate the same in the Registration Book pursuant to Section 69 of Presidential Decree No. 1529;

2. ISSUE an Order of Expropriation declaring that the plaintiff has a lawful right to take possession and acquire the affected property specified in paragraph 10 hereof;

3. After the determination of just compensation, to authorize the payment thereof by plaintiff to defendants after deducting the capital gains and documentary stamp taxes for the transfer of the affected portion of Lot No. 1, H-189752, in the name of plaintiff, all other outstanding taxes under the National Internal Revenue Code, and all outstanding realty taxes and dues under the Local Government Code, which plaintiff shall remit to the Government;

4. ISSUE a judgment after determination of just compensation, declaring plaintiff as the lawful owner of the affected portion of Lot No. 1, H-189752 consisting of a total area of 2,683 square meters , more or less, described in paragraph 10 hereof;

6. DIRECT: a. The Registry of Deeds for the Province of Lanao del Norte to record in its Registry Daybook (Primary Entry Book) and Registration Book the Order of Expropriation and Judgment rendered by this Honorable Court in this case with respect to the portion of the subject property sought to be expropriated herein, pursuant to Section 113 of Presidential Decree No. 1529; b. The Municipal Assessor of Kolambugan and/or Provincial Assessor of Lanao del Norte to issue a new tax declaration in the name of plaintiff covering the portion of the subject property sought to be expropriated herein.

No. CLX; your career, hobbies, future, finances, etc. Your priorities shift in healthy ways and you learn to ground yourself rather than letting a relationship ground you. You spend more time doing things, rather than wishing for things to happen. Falling in love with your life means that you don’t like to waste time. You don’t like to chase things that don’t build or grow you. You don’t like to live a mediocre, uninspired existence. When you love your life you do things, rather than being a passive character in your own story.

You value advice from others, and take time to lend a listening ear. You want to learn, to experience, to grow, to be inspired. Thus, you value the advice and guidance given to you from others and you’re more willing to be a support system for people who may need you.

You spend more of your days outside or in nature. I know it’s terribly hot at the moment. But, the world around you has more value now. You enjoy hiking, walking, biking, or just sitting outside in the shade. You love just being—around friends or solo, just soaking in the beauty the world has to offer. its brand Ambassadors.

You pray often, and feel both humble and thankful for what you’ve been given. Every day, life surprises you with its beauty and wonder. You find yourself praying for the blessings you’ve been given, and relying on your faith to pull you through the hard times. You trust that you will find love when the timing is right; in the meantime, you are thankful and humble for where you are.

According to Meltwater and We Are Social’s Digital 2023 Global Overview Report, the Philippines has logged 84.45 million social media users as of January 2023, representing 72.5% of the total population. Sadly, Filipino children are also among the most vulnerable and exposed to online risks, including cyberbullying, phishing, and hacking. A study by cybersecurity firm Surfshark revealed that Filipino children have the second-highest exposure to these online risks worldwide.

Online violence, including cyberbullying, has devastating effects on children's physical and emotional wellbeing, causing long-term emotional and psychological damage.

Globe's #MakeITSafePH campaign reminds everyone that mental health is essential, especially for young people navigating the digital landscape.

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) extended her travel assistance through Member of Parliament Abdulraof Macacua who was then the regional minister for environment and natural resources.

Macacua has recently been appointed as Governor of Maguindanao del Norte.

According to Benito, the governor was the first person Pangadil informed of her feat in a foreign land.

Pangadil has been cited with 12 honors of distinction in Northern Illinois University at DeKalb, namely: Distinguished Honors, University

The BSC noted that Amirul’s victory is a testament to the Philippines’ commitment to sports excellence and lauded her for her contribution to the sport of soft tennis.

“Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off, and we are all incredibly proud of you! Your victory is not only a testament to your exceptional athletic abilities but also to your spirit of teamwork, sportsmanship, and national pride,” BSC’s Facebook post reads.

The triumph of the Philippine Soft Tennis Team for which Amirul played with exceptional skills in that sports event is a milestone for the Philippines at the SEA Games, where over 12,000 participants from 11 countries compete in more than three dozen sports disciplines from May 5 to 17.

The 32nd SEA Games is held for the first time in Cambodia. Its original schedule was supposed to be in 2020 but was reset due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The BSC said Amirul and her team’s victory is a source of pride for the Bangsamoro people and the entire Philippines, inspiring future generations of athletes to strive for excellence and bring honor to the country.

The BSC expressed its gratitude to Amirul and all the Philippine athletes who competed in the 32nd SEA Games, hoping that their success would inspire more support and investment into the country’s sports industry.

“You have brought honor and glory to our country, and we are grateful for your contributions to the sport of soft tennis […] keep up the good work, and may the future endeavors be just as successful and fulfilling,” the BSC further said.

The operation was also conducted by the BOC’s Enforcement and Security Service and the Port Operations Division of the Subport of Sual, together with the Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine National Police Maritime Group, and local police.

Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence Group Juvymax Uy highlighted how the swift action of their intelligence agents secured the necessary information to apprehend the vessel and seize the smuggled diesel.

“As long as our Customs agents and other agencies continue to be relentless, our pursuit of smuggling activities and the people behind them would succeed,” Uy said. (PNA)

from page 2 decision not to grant political asylum to the fugitive lawmaker.

“It turns out that Congressman Arnie Teves applied for political asylum but was denied. Ganoon lang (That’s it),” he said.

“So, I think they will continue to go through the process. May appeal process para sa (There is an appeal process for) those who are applying,” he added.

Marcos said the Philippine government would wait for the conclusion of Teves’ asylum rejection case in Timor-Leste.

“We’ll just wait for the process to complete,” he said.

Marcos, during his bilateral meeting with Ruak, thanked Timor-Leste for its “quick” rejection of Teves’ application for political asylum.

On Tuesday, the Department of Foreign Affairs reported that Timor-Leste had turned down Teves’ request for political asylum and ordered him to leave the country within five days.

The Department of Justice on Wednesday said the Philippine government would formally cancel Teves’ passport shortly after the filing of criminal charges against him.

The DOJ is expected to file complaints against Teves by May 15.

House of Representatives Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Wednesday urged Teves to return to the Philippines and face the charges in connection with the brutal killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo and nine other individuals on March 4.

Romualdez said the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges might recommend further sanctions against Teves if the latter fails to come home.

The House suspended Teves for 60 days late in March for failure to return to the country and face the ethics panel despite the expiration of his travel authority on March 9. (PNA)

“The fleet review that we have witnessed today was indeed a pleasure to behold. More than the thrilling sights and sounds that delighted our senses, we are immensely elated for being able to bring together two PN and seven vessels from other ASEAN navies,” he added.

Galvez also said that even countries with no standing navies like Cambodia, Myanmar and Lao People’s Democratic Republic sent their observers to the event -- a laudable gesture of unity and solidarity to the ASEAN community.

“We are confident that this year’s AFR, conducted alongside the 2nd ASEAN Multilateral Naval Exercise, will further foster interoperability and cooperation among ASEAN member states in the conduct of responsible maritime security operations,” he stressed.

Galvez also emphasized that this activity was not a show of force, but rather a showcase of the ASEAN centrality and to show the oneness and unity of the different countries.

He added that the ASEAN navies come together to promote rule-based and safe maritime operations with our brothers and family of like-minded nations.

“If all the armed forces are talking to each other, we can prevent war from happening because we are talking about peace and understanding, and we are reaching out to everybody,” Galvez said. “To the Team Philippine Navy, congratulations and carry on! I commend you for graciously hosting the AFR 2023. Indeed, what a way to cap your 125th anniversary two weeks from now… to all our sailors and marines, I and the One Defense- AFP TeamPhilippines wish you fair winds, clear skies, and following seas always,” he concluded.

PH Fleet conducts first-ever PFDEX

In a related development, the Philippine Fleet (PF) showcased its modern naval platforms and desired future capabilities of the PN at the first-ever Philippine Fleet Defense Expo (PFDEX) 2023 at the Naval Base Heracleo Alano, Sangley Point, Cavite City Thursday.

PFDEX 2023 will run from Thursday to Saturday and is open to all enthusiasts and interested individuals.

This event, in partnership with EXPOASIA as the event organizer, is part of the preluding activities for the 125th PN anniversary later this month.

It gathers maritime and naval defense industries in an exhibition area to showcase their products and technology developments.

Considered as the first of its kind in the AFP, the PFDEX also features lectures/symposium from industry experts, and gives a glimpse of the Navy’s upcoming assets like submarines, offshore patrol vessels, unmanned systems, naval weapons and combat systems, cyber and electronic warfare, ISR systems,

Brilliante also said a resident of a certain barangay can only be a TUPAD beneficiary once a year.

"If naging TUPAD beneficiary na sila ngayon taon, hindi na po sila pwede sa susunod na buwan.

Meanwhile, in Daraga, also in Albay, Mayor Carlwyn Baldo thanked AKB for its donation of a new PHP14.6-million modernized firetruck.

"Let me thank Hon. Rep. Elizaldy Co represented by Rep. Jill Bongalon for facilitating this endeavor that will enhance the delivery of service to our community and will aid our firemen to combat fire incidents and risk their lives every day. It is our responsibility to make sure the firetruck equipment will be used appropriately," Baldo said.
