Oro govt to revokegas dealers’ permits

A ROMAN Catholic diocese has criticized Iligan City government’s response in the relief efforts to Typhoon Sendong and its aftermath.

Atty. Leo Saragoza, legal counsel of the Diocese of Iligan, said the criticism consisted primarily of condem-nations of mismanagement and the lack of preparation in the relief effort.

The diocese, he said, questioned the slow spending of the P360 million funding for the rehabilitation efforts for the victims of the typhoons in an area under a state of calamity for a month now.

“To my shock and surprise, as of January 9, the amount spent by the city was only P4.7 million,” Saragoza said

This as Council Presi-dent Elipe stood up and rendered his special report before the city Council ses-sion saying that Emano, who happened to be his father-in-law, will imme-diately revoke the business permits of those gasoline stations found violating the order of the Department of Energy (DOE).

Elipe, chair of the city council committee on en-ergy, said he was dismayed over the series of oil price increases which oil com-panies implemented this month.

Councilors Aldin Bacal, Juan Sia, and Elipe earlier met with DOE Undersec-retary for Operations Jose Layug in Cagayan de Oro.

Oroquieta shells out P100k for capture of 2 suspected gunmen

CAGAYAN de Oro Mayor Vicente Emano yesterday urged local gas dealers operat-ing in the city to follow the law to avoid unnecessary sanctions.

Layug nga nag-ingon nga anaa na siya’y order nga dili mopa-increase sa presyo sa gasolina ang mga gasoline stations dinhi sa Cagayan de Oro apil sa Iligan City. Hilabi na dihang nahibalo-an nako nga duha na ka in-crease ang wala napatuman sa siyam ka mga gasoline stations dinhi sa siyudad,” said the councilor.

He said he was surprised by the report that on January 11, several gasoline dealers operating in the city jacked up their prices.

Earlier, the energy de-partment said prize freeze remained in effect for gaso-line and other petroleum products in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan while the national state of calamity is still in effect.

OROQUIETA City Mayor Jason Paredes Almonte with the help of other local of-ficials shelled out at least P100,000 as reward to those who could help authorities in the arrest of the gunmen responsible for the shooting of two city hall employees.

Last January 16, two motorcycle-riding men shot 27-year-old Sheribelle “Chiqui” Anlites Dullin, and Carlo Evediente, who were also riding in tandem

in a motorcycle during the incident.

Dullin, who was placed under the hospital’s inten-sive care unit, died one week after the incident. She succumbed to three gunshot wounds on the back.

“The incident that hap-pens lately saddens our peaceful city, even though, it is an isolated case but be-cause the two victims were city hall employees some of us were sleepless thinking

who the suspects are and why they kill a woman at that, to the victims of the family, my administration condoles with them,” the dejected Almonte said.

He said the incident had tarnished the slogan of Oro-quieta City being the “City of Good Life.”

“We cannot disregard (it) and that is why, me personally, and other offi-cials, set aside the amount of P100,000 as reward to anyone who can inform

‘ClarifychargesunderArticle 2’SENATOR-JUDGE Francis “Chiz” Escudero on Thurs-day urged the prosecution panel to clarify the charges it stated under Article 2 of the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The complaint stated under Article 2 is failure of Corona to disclose his statements of assets and liabilities and net worth or SALN but Escudero noticed that two more charges were incorporated in the first ar-ticle tackled in the ongoing impeachment trial.

“I asked this because as a judge, I’m actually confused of what stated in the Article 2,” Escudero said.

Escudero threw his ques-tion to Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr. but the secondary pros-ecutor of the Article 2 of the eight articles of impeach-ment complaint clarified that he was not part of the group of congressmen who drafted the complaint.

“We, actually, I was not but actually I have read the complaint before I signed it,” Barzaga replied.

BUTUAN City––Relatives of OFW Juvilyn Concon were still in shock after receiving reports on her sudden death when the build-ing she stayed along with some Filipinos suddenly collapsed in Beirut, Lebanon.

Juvilyn, 32 years of age and a native of Barangay Cebulan, Esperanza, Agusan del Sur was identified as one of the fatalities along with Mary Ann Davatos Ida and Lucy Bombales and 23 other nationals when the building suddenly collapsed last Sunday. She worked as a Pastor at God’s Divine Love International Ministry Church which is located at the 4th floor of the said building.

According to OWWA Regional Office, Juvilyn’s parents will receive 200,000 pesos death benefit and additional 20,000 pesos burial benefit. OWWA personnel personally met with the

Inc. led by its President Ben Contreras, and Tanada Foundation distributed relief items on January 7, 2011 to Sendong victims , who comprise 98 families with an average of four members each fam-ily, tantamounting to 392 recipients, and situated at North City Cental School, Puntod, Cagayan de Oro.

Kiwanis division 4A’s distributes relief goods to Sendong victimsBy BERDITA G. CONTRERAS

ContributorThe benevolent and self-

less attitude to help of Paul Borja and Rudy Seballos, President and Vice President of Cagayan de Oro Kiwanis Club prevailed against the strong pouring of rain dur-ing that day.

B or ja and S ebal los worked in tandem with the rest of the officers and members in the persons of Boy Marcoso, P. ASPAC Chair, Dr. Monching Nery, TOFIL 2011 Awardee, Riel Jaraula and Ric, DSWD representative.

The persistent downpour did not hamper the group to reach out and respond to the calls of sustainable existence.

As stated some days ago, the assistance program of Ki-wanis Division 4A, H.E.L.P. Inc. and Tanada Foundation will not end inadvertently here and now, but it will go on and on because other concerned entities, both local and international are dynamically supportive to our drive. They have been rallying behind us to

pursue our humanitarian undertakings. To that, we salute them––for they have synergized us to face and fortify difficulties and hin-drances of the task that we assigned ourselves to reach the grassroots of Sendong calamities. Over and above our preoccupations, we can not simply ignore , of course, the beaming smile and innocent laughter of the kids who resoundingly exclaimed, “Thank you !” as they saw us apportion the goods to all of them.

Escudero said: “I know but that’s not my point. Who really drafted this complaint. I just wanted to know who behind this?”

Barzaga suggested to ad-dress his question to their lead prosecutor Rep. Niel Tupas.

“You have stated that chief justice failed to disclose to the public his SALN but inside the article, you also stated that he (Corona) did not include his properties and there is a third allegation that he amassed ill-gotten wealth. Are these three separate acts?” Escudero asked.

Escudero said that when it comes to voting, the senator-judges will vote for only one complaint.

“But Article 2 was actually accused the chief justice of three acts. The two were not even mentioned in the title, so can you guide us. Please give us your opinion because we want to be clarifi ed,” Escudero directed Tupas.

Tupas said: “We will do that your honor.”

Last Wednesday, SC clerk

of court Atty. Enriqueta Es-guerra-Vidal submitted to the impeachment court the SALN of Corona from 2002 to 2010. As of 2010, Corona’s total net worth is P22,938,980 with zero liability.

Based on his SALN, Corona borrowed P11 million from Basa-Guidote Enterprises Inc., a corporation owned by the family of his wife Cristina, but the Chief Justice was able to pay it in fi ve years.

So far, the prosecution has already presented three witness-es that also include Malacanang records section chief Marianito Dimaandal who testifi ed last Wednesday and Randy Rutaquio of Taguig-Pateros Registry of Deeds.

Rutaquio testifi ed on the 303.5-square meter condo-minium unit in Taguig City which the prosecution alleged as owned by the Chief Justice and his wife.

Rutaquio presented to the impeachment court a deed of sale in the name of Maria Czarina Corona. He said the attorney-of-fact in this transaction, as sold by Megaworld Corp., was the chief justice himself. (PNA)

parents of the victim to discuss on how Juvilyn’s remains will be repatriated from Lebanon. They also added that the two other victims are not members of OWWA; however, their agency will still give assistance on the repatriation so that their remains will be returned to their loved ones.

The Lebanese government is also making investigation on

the said incident and pledged to give financial assistance to the victims which according to a local newspaper will give 20,000 dollars each.

They suspected that the cause of the collapse triggered on heavy rains and the on-going construction of structures near the building which is around 80 years old.

The local government of Esperanza also made an effort in assisting the OWWA staff in locating the parents of Juvilyn through their CBMS system. Ac-cording to Mrs. Agustina Concon, they are planning to hold the vigil on Juvilyn’s remains for one week.

“Buotan kaayo si Juvilyn. Nilarga siya sa Lebanon tungod kay gusto niya nga ma haw-as ang among kinabuhi ilabi na sa iyang mga igsoon. Nasakit man gud ang iyang igsoon mao nga napursige siya og lakaw. Karon nga wala na siya, mag unsa na man lang mi”, said Mrs. Concon.

(Juvilyn was a very good daughter. She went to Lebanon because she wants our life to prosper especially her siblings. She was also forced to work abroad because her brother was also sick. Now that she’s gone, we don’t know how we can cope up with our life).

Juvilyn’s remains is expected to arrive in Butuan City next week and will be transported immediately to Esperanza via land trip.

The mayor also thanked the congressmen, provincial officials, and town offi-cials who spearheaded the cleanup drive.

Some 5,000 volunteers from both districts of Misa-mis Oriental were mobilized

Emano hails group for holding clean-up drive in Oroto help residents of Acacia in barangay Carmen clean their houses, surroundings and streets.

Leading the volunteers were Representatives Pe-ter M. Unabia of the 1st district of Misamis Ori-ental, Yevgeny Vincente “Bambi” Emano of the 2nd district of Misamis Orien-tal, Benjo Benaldo of the 1st District of Cagayan de Oro, Provincial Board members Arrish Canonigo and Heckert Emano, and

the town mayors and vice mayors, namely Jerry lagbas of Sugbongcogon, Manuel Pamisa Jr. of Lagonglong, Catherine Ifurong of Tali-sayan, Redentor Jardin if Jasaan, Romeo Gue Gue of Salay, Santiago Ocot Jr. of Magsaysay, Dennis Roa of Naawan, Ken Uyguangco of Medina, Rey Buhisan of Magsaysay and Rommel Maslog of Talisayan.

Cagayan de Oro Vice Mayor Ian Acenas oversee the operations for the city government, with Councilor Alden Bacal.

Also joining the ac-tivity were Gingoog Vice Mayor Erick Canosa, crew coordinators Gerry Sabal and Boboy Acain, Carmen councilor Inday Dahino, and the chiefs of staff of the three congressmen: Bebeng Dumadag, Jun Pacamalan and Alejandro Bascon.

According to Congress-man Emano, the volunteer workers did a 70%-80% clean up of the area during the whole day activity.

He said heavy equipment has now cleared the area of tree trunks and other large

debris that remained in the area for about a month after the disaster struck.

After clearing the area of the big piles of garbage, sweepers cleaned away the smaller debris from the houses and the surround-ings with the consent of the residents.

Congressman Emano said the Misamis Oriental volunteers will return to Cagayan de Oro on Janu-ary 28 to help clean other barangays in the city that were also hardest hit by the floods, including Balulang.EMANO

CHIEF Executive Officer Darlene Marie B. Berberabe of Pag-IBIG has announced that the Fund will be inten-sifying its efforts to enforce the mandatory provision of Republic Act 9679. Under the said law (the Home Development Mutual Fund Law of 2009), membership in Pag-IBIG Fund is man-datory for all employers and employees covered and should be covered by the SSS and the GSIS.

By end of 2011, there are still some 250,000 em-ployers around the country who are not registered with the Fund.

“These employers are depriving their personnel of the benefits of member-ship in the Fund – benefits which include long term savings with better than usual earnings, access to housing finance, and easy access to short-term cash loans in times of need,” according to Berberabe.

To help enforce the law, Pag-IBIG has forged agree-ments with local govern-ment units which provides for making Pag-IBIG reg-istration a pre-requisite to securing or renewing a business permit.

“We, however, recog-nize that some employers are unable to register with the Fund due to the accu-

Pag-IBIG Fund vowed torun after erring employers

mulation of penalties on uncollected and unremitted contributions,” the Pag-IBIG CEO added.

“ Thus, Pag-IBIG is implementing a penalty condonation program for unregistered or delinquent employers beginning Janu-ary 2 until June 30, 2012 only.”

Since the program will only run for a limited pe-riod, Berberabe encourages employers who have yet to register with the Fund to take advantage of this program.

“After June 30, we have no other recourse but to file cases against unreg-istered employers as part of the Fund’s Intensified Membership Enforcement and Collection Campaign (IMECC),” the CEO cau-tioned.

For more information on the Pag-IBIG Penalty Condonation Program for

unregistered or delinquent employers, companies may call hotline 7244244 (for Metro Manila) or get in touch with the Pag-IBIG branch office nearest them.

They may also email the secretariat at [email protected].

Diad Puso MiFund Coordinators and

other HDMF stakeholders left the world-class Sison Auditorium praising the Pag-IBIG Fund branch’s success when it launched the first “Diad Puso Mi (Here in Our Hearts) Awards” during the Fund’s 31st anniversary celebration in December.

The Diad Puso Mi Awards 2011 was intended to recognize individuals, employers, and organiza-tions that demonstrated significant achievements with outstanding outcome for this year. They were honored for their exemplary performance and unwaver-ing support to the Pag-IBIG Fund’s programs and un-dertakings.

Award categories includ-ed Distinguished Service Award, Meritorious Service Award, Leadership Award, and the Outstanding Media Partner Award.

A P455 million flood-con-trol project funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) was recently unveiled in the island prov-ince of Camiguin.

The project involved the construction of two Sabo Dams and the reconstruc-tion of the Hubangon Bridge in Mahinog, Camiguin dam-aged by Typhoon “Nenang” in 2001.

The Sabo Dams aim to prevent the occurrence of debris flows that could cause extensive damage in the downstream area and at the same time stabilize the riverbed and mountain slopes to minimize further sediment production in the

Public works Secretary Rogelio L. Singson said that flash flood never occurred in Mahinog anymore since the construction of Sabo dams.

Singson was in Camigu-

ing together with JICA-Philippines representative Takahiro Sasaki during the inauguration of the newly completed projects.

Singson said he hopes the Department of Public Works and Highways does the same in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to avoid destruction like Typhoon Sendong have had where thousands killed in a flash flood.

Part of the project in-cluded the warning system and components on commu-nity disaster preparedness.

He said the a l leged motive for the burning was extortion. “Perhaps, the Japanese company refused to pay revolution-ary taxes to the commu-nist rebels,” Osias added.

About 30 fully armed rebels f lagged down the two cargo trucks loaded with bananas en route to Davao in the Highways of Maloos in Barangay Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukid-non Wednesday morning. The Japanese f irm has a banana plantation in Bukidnon, Osias added.

Osias said the rebels, clad in army uniforms, established a checkpoint with a signboard of the army’s 23rd Infantry Bat-talion logo.

He said the rebels or-dered the truck drivers to disembark then torched the cargo trucks before f leeing toward Quezon.

COTABATO City––A 48-year-old Maguindanaon on Wednesday surfaced and claimed he personally knew the alleged gunman who ambushed city Vice Mayor Muslimin Sema on January 10.

And a group of lawyers is now preparing a case to be filed against the mastermind, Sema said.

The witness, who refused to be identified before media,said he personally knew the alleged gunman who shot and critically wounded Sema while he was heading for home.

The male witness, who wore dark glasses and a military bull cap, faced newsmen and said he decided to come out because he would like to help the vice mayor who is also the chair of the Moro National Liberation Front.

“I know him and I will only speak in the presence of a lawyer,” he said.

Sema said he will “allow the law to take its course” in the case many believed was the most daring crime committed in the city.

The vice mayor said he will report for work on Jan 24 to preside the regular session of the Sangguniang Panglungsod.

Police Director General Nicanor Bartolome, once assigned here as police mobile group director in 1990s, has created a police-led Task Force Sema to speed-up the investigation, identify the brains and file appropri-ate charges in court.

Sema also assured that the MNLF will not take the law into its hands and allow the wheels of justice take its course.

Sema gets feed only with liquid food through nostrils, but has been obviously agile, except for not being able to speak loud enough that he would have to write what he wants to say on a whiteboard.

He was hit in his right jaw when Abdullah and a companion, who were riding in tandem on a motorcycle, overtook the vice mayor’s vehicle and opened fire with assault rifles. Wire reports

AGUSAN del Sur––The Philippine Army’s 26th In-fantry Battalion has identi-fied five rebel “hot spots” in the province but engaged in only four armed conflicts with the communist rebels at the end of 2011.

Col. Nhel Richard Patri-cio, commander of the ar-my’s 26th Infantry Battalion, said the encounter with armed communist rebels occurred in Sitio Goshen,

DENR donates seizedlogs worth P4.6millionBUTUAN City––The Department of Envi-ronment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga has disposed some P4.6 million worth of confiscated logs to the the Department of Education (DepEd), local government unit, the Philippine National Police (PNP) and military sector.

This represents a total of 1,294 cubic meters of logs and 58,317.73 bd.ft of lum-ber and flitches products.

Regional Executive Di-

rector Leonardo R. Sibbalu-ca said the DepEd/Technical Skills and Development Au-thority (TESDA) were given about 967.18 cubic meters

of logs and 58,317.73 board feet of lumber and flitches which it manufactured into arm chairs.

Several officials of public schools have also requested from the DENR for the confiscated lumber prod-ucts for the construction of classrooms last year. These public schools are the Isla Heneral Integrated School in Carrascal, Surigao del Sur which requested 21 pieces (1,00.50 bd.ft) of

THINK a minute.In 1946, the United States

Army showed to the public its brand new 30-ton com-puter called the ENIAC.

All the credit for this invention was given to 2 men, John Mauchly and J. Eckert.

But it was actually a group of 6 women who programmed the computer and made this complex machine work.

None of those 6 women were recognized for their amazing work and achieve-ment.

Not until today, have his-torians showed this injustice and given these women the credit they earned.

Sadly, throughout his-tory women and mothers have often not been given the honor and recognition

Mama’s boys

they deserve.Yet the great French

leader and conqueror, Na-polean, said: “The future of a child is usually the work of the mother.”

And history proves it!In fact, many of the

greatest men and leaders of the world have proudly admitted that they became strong men because of their mothers’ teaching and ex-ample.

They were proud to be

“mama’s boys!”Some of these great men

were American Presidents, including George Wash-ington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Ken-nedy, Jimmy Carter, and we could go on and on.

George Washington, the first President of the United States said: “All that I am I owe to my mother…I credit all of my success in life to

the moral and intellectual training I received from her.”

It’s clear throughout history that women and mothers are some of the most important, powerful people in the world.

Proving true the saying: “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.”

Jesus Christ Himself clearly showed that women are just as important to God as men. So won’t you ask your Maker to help you see and value yourself the same way He does?

Then, whether you’re a woman or a man, ask Jesus to forgive and help you change so you will start showing honor and respect to your mother, or wife, by the way you treat her.

Just Think a Minute.

The human cost of illegal mining

ACCORDING to histo-rians, King Ferdinand of Spain once said, “Get gold humanely if possible, but at all costs get gold.”

Because of its rarity, a glittering piece of gold jewelry is an expensive purchase. That’s nothing, however, compared to the price paid by those living in impoverished mining communities.

The gold rush in our country’s history has been going for decades because of the precious metal’s high demand in the local and international market. And the impoverished Pinoys have never stopped mining, panning and digging for it everywhere because it means a profitable livelihood. Gold strikes a good price more in the international market like India. Indians have more gold in jewelry alone than the US Treasury has in its vaults. Since the time of the spice route trade, India has consumed close to 50 percent of the annual output of gold.

In the Philippines the

easy gold has already been legally mined in several re-gions. It gave good revenues to local governments such as those in Surigao and Davao provinces. Is this the reason why LGU officials continue to tolerate the illegal gold industry?

Analysts say that find-ing new gold today usually involves wrecking havoc to the pristine ecosystems and exploiting impoverished communities. Randy Olson of the National Geographic Magazine says that tons of earth must be moved and washed— a backbreaking labor that turns the land into a moonscape—to have a few glimmers of gold in your pockets. With or without machinery, the ring on your finger means someone had to move and process 20 tons of material. He said, however, that the glitter-ing luxury of gold, like the

THE Aquino administration has for-gotten that there are more than this government can do than be cynical about Chief Justice Renato Corona, in particular, the Supreme Court and the Judiciary in general.

Until now, this government dis-mally failed to address some basic problem confronting the country. The people’s optimism of a govern-ment that would bail them out of the quagmire of destitution seemed to have died down in vain.

For instance, the people are complaining of the Aquino government’s inability to deal with the oil price hike. For the month of January this year, prices of oil had gone up four times stomping on the Filipinos’ sensibility of survival.

Prices of commodities and the cost of living continue to rise. Wage earners struggle to subsist on meager in-come devoid of purchasing power. Sometimes victims of calamities like flood, landslide and natural and man-made disasters are luckier to have gotten the attention of the world. The point is victims of calamities and natural disasters simply earn the right to live out of donation and contribution.

The life styles of victims of calamities are better than

An insensitive governmentthose who are not victims but struggle to make both ends meet in order to eke a living.

The Aquino government is aware of this. Instead, it focused its energy on gunning after political adversaries and those perceived to be critical of its style of leader-ship. Along this line, the Filipinos had suffered.

For the past weeks, many are asking on the govern-ment’s failure to lay down concrete plans to cushion the impact of oil price hike. While there are palliatives such as “Tawid Pampasada” providing discounts to public utility drivers, this is largely available only in Metro Manila. What about in the provinces, Mr. President?

There are even insinuations that the “Tawid Pampasada” project is only available to those politically aligned with the Aquino administration. While this idea is not worth entertaining, nobody can blame if people think that their government has failed to meet the people’s expectation.

Gone with those complaints, government spokesmen mused. After all, the Aquino government enjoys the trust of the majority of the Filipinos. Surveys are clear on this. But, when surveys tell the exact sentiments of the people on government’s breakdown in the performance of delivering basic needs to the people, Malacañang is quick to criticize such survey as nothing of importance.

Perhaps, what the Aquino government wants is for the people to keep quite, close their eyes, plug their ears and be unmindful of its inequities and excesses. So be it!

Corona’s day in courtFirst of two parts

FINALLY, Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona had his day in court. Ac-cused of betrayal of public trust, and graft and corrup-tion, and culpable violation of the Constitution, Corona was impeached by the House of Representatives and is now facing his accusers – eleven representatives of the people – before a Senate impeachment trial with the 23 senators sitting as judges.

Corona and his wife Cristina attended the first day of the trial to prove — as his chief defense counsel re-tired Supreme Court Justice Serafin Cuevas pronounced — that he is not hiding anything. But as it turned out, Corona’s defense at-torneys demanded that the list of 45 properties allegedly owned by the Coronas not be accepted in the trial. If he was not really hiding anything, why would he object to the introduction of public information as evidence?

Collective voice

The impeachment trial is all about Corona’s char-acter. It’s all laid out in the prosecution team’s opening statement, which was read by Congressman-prosecutor Niel C. Tupas Jr.

“As public servants,” Tu-pas began, “we took an oath to uphold the people’s will at all times. All who hold positions in the govern-ment of our Republic are accountable for their ac-tions. For the power of the sovereign Filipino people is a power that is higher than the Executive, the Legisla-tive or even the Judiciary. And therefore, no matter how high and mighty one’s position may be, one can never, ever be beyond pub-

lic accountability. Today, we lay down before this impeachment tribunal the product of the collective voice of the people.”

Having said that, Tupas then crystallized the pros-ecution’s objective: “We are not here to indict the Supreme Court as an in-stitution, or to do battle with the judicial branch of government. We are here to search for the truth so as to restore the strength and independence of the judiciary. We are here be-cause one man — Chief Justice Renato Corona — has bartered away for a pot of porridge the effectiveness, the independence, and the honor of the Supreme Court.

Mr. Senate President, your honors, one very important question before this honor-able impeachment tribunal is, by what standards should Renato Corona be judged?”

After he brief ly ex-tolled two Supreme Court icons, Cayetano Arellano, the first Chief Justice and Jose Abad Santos, who pre-ferred to die at the hands of the Japanese rather than betray his country, Tupas said: “The Code of Judicial Conduct demands that a judge must be like Caesar’s wife — someone who must not only be pure but must be beyond suspicion at all times. Therefore, a Justice must be judged according to the highest standards. Against such standards, we then ask: Who is Chief Justice Corona? What kind of a man is he?”

Tupas described Corona as a “loyal servant” to former President Gloria Macapa-gal Arroyo from the time she became Vice-President in 1998 until she became President in 2001. Then

like the sparkle of a dia-mond, does not reflect the inhumane manner in which it was likely acquired.

Here in Cagayan de Oro, the “inhumane” manner included the destruction of the lands and trees that could have prevented se-vere flooding. Task Force Macajalar, an environment watchdog, also reported that illegal miners have been using explosives in the gold mines at Cagayan de Oro hinterland barangays.

Taking a cue from the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines which has seri-ously called on the govern-ment to crack down on small and fly-by-night mining operators, those involved in Cagayan de Oro illegal

mining (which allegedly include city officials ) must be also made to answer the issue.

The Chamber says il-legal mining use methods that are more destructive to the environment. Due to the recent tragedies in Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, and Compostela Valley, the government vowed to crack down the destroyers of the environment. It de-clared that environmental terrorism by illegal loggers and miners should now be made a high crime. This is something to praise for.

That the Aquino ad-ministration is now taking action against illegal logging and mining operators for the massive flash floods unleashed by Sendong, and the recent tragic landslides in the gold mine sites of

Compostela Valley, is some-thing assuring to the public in general. The desired result, however, remains to be seen.

If the governor of Com-postela Valley ordered the creation of an indepen-dent commission to look into alleged involvement of town officials, including the mayor of Pantukan town, in the illegal mining operations in the area, who would do so to prosecute Cagayan de Oro officials?

Since it recently vowed to hold local officials ac-countable if it would turn out that they committed wrongdoing or were neg-ligent in implementing the no-habitation policy imposed by the national government on adjacent mining sites, the national government should be seri-

ous in taking action against erring Oro City officials.

Is it not high time also for the Cagayanons to do something concrete if the allegations against Mayor Emano, et al, are proven? Let everyone have his day in court if only to prevent another staggering loss of human lives again.

appointed Corona’s wife Cristina to plum positions in the Camp John Hay Manage-ment Corporation and then appointed Corona himself as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and the “best reward” of all, Corona took a “midnight oath” as Chief Justice. Tupas said that Co-rona’s appointment as Chief Justice also served an “im-moral” purpose: to shield

Arroyo from prosecution for her misdeeds during her presidency.

Tupas then outlined the eight articles of impeachment against Corona. He men-tioned Article 2 last, saying: “And fi nally, we come to Ar-ticle 2 where the prosecution will prove that Chief Justice Renato Corona amassed ill-gotten wealth aft er he was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2002. To give you an idea of this article, let me present to you some of the prized pieces of the Corona crown jewels,” and named several multi-million prop-erties.

And in a stinging indict-ment of Corona, Tupas said, “Th e governing principle of our laws is clear: unexplained discrepancy between an of-fi cial’s income and his assets, declared or undeclared, is

prima facie evidence of ill-gotten wealth, and therefore, is an impeachable crime of graft and corruption.”

“In closing,” he said, “the message of the House, as the representatives of the people, is the same as that given by Oliver Cromwell when he dismissed England’s Long Parliament on April 20 of 1653. Before God and coun-try, we say: “It is high time for us to put an end to your sitting in that place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defi led by your practice of every vice, you are an enemy to good government, as you have sold your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas Escariot betrayed your God for a few pieces of gold. Depart I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!’”

was given the Distin-guished Service Award for having registered the high-est number of enrollees under the Modified Pag-IBIG 2 (MP2) Program. Mendoza said that despite the BIR’s memorandum circular which says that MP2 contributions can no longer be deducted from the gross income, and hence can no longer be exempt from income tax, “nag-invest pa rin sa MP2 Program ng Pag-IBIG ang mga empleyado namin.”

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN North Central Luzon was presented the Outstanding Media Partner Award for its unique and outstanding efforts in disseminating information on the Pag-IBIG programs. The station committed to continue sup-porting the Fund.

tasked by Mayor Emano to gather list of those vio-lating the order NOT TO INCREASE while we are still under the state of ca-lamity. Pero nag ingon si Mayor nga hatagan kini sila ug sulat aron makahimo sa ilang rason ngano nga gipatas-an nila ang presyo sa gasolina ug krudo nga aduna man untay order ug pagahimoon ang pag-inspection sa matag gasoline station karong Byernes aron mahibaloan kinsa gyod ang nakasupak ug nga kinah-anglan nga ibalik nila ang presyo sa gasolina ug krudo sa Disyembre 16,” Elipe said.

He said that he is propos-ing a resolution directing all gasoline stations to return back to the gasoline price last December 16.

“We respect what hap-pened in Iran in where an increase of gasoline and crude oil price should have to be impose. But I urged these gasoline stations to please return the price of their respective gasoline and

crude oil to the December 16 price sd Cagayan de Oro City and Iligan City are still under the state of calamity,” Elipe said.

Meanwhile, Elipe urged CEPALCO and Cagayan de Oro Water District to con-done surcharge and penalty to the people of Cagayan de Oro City.

“The city is in crisis, CE-PALCO and COWD should consider,” Elipe lamented.

Elipe was joined by city councilor Ramon Tabor.

“I was insistent in re-minding these gasoline deal-ers. I really was thankful to the city that we condone real property taxes to those Sendong victims. I am urg-ing more so the people of city to give special concern to these sendong victims, give them time to recover as how can they tax their damaged lands,” Tabor said.

Last January 9, con-cerned groups and indi-viduals including Church officials met and discussed the issue with Iligan City Mayor Lawrence Cruz.

Saragoza said the mayor cited the standard account-ing procedures of the Com-mission on Audit as the reason for the slow disburse-ment of funds.

“One of the conditions once the state of calamity declared, the standard ac-counting procedures are set aside for a need to answer the immediate need of the people,” he said.

“It’s really maddening and disappointing! They’re so slow,” Saragoza exclaimed.

The lawyer called on Aquino administration to do something on the issue for the welfare of the typhoon victims.

“We need a sort of pres-sure from Malacañang and find out what have been done to the donations. Right

now, I think many donors are hoping that their help already reached the victims,” he said.

“We would like to inform them that it’s not the case here. Some aids reached the victims but it’s too minimal,” said Saragoza.

But the lawyer clarified that the issue is not cor-ruption because the hefty funding is intact at the bank.

“We’ve seen the bank statements,” he said. “We are angry because the money received for sure was given by the donors for immedi-ate response.” [CBCPNews]

“With the said small amount Oroquietanons can be challenge to help solve the crime and definitely informants and information will be treated confidential,” added the mayor.

The mayor urged local residents to come out in the open and pinpoint the suspects.

He said that those people who want to become witness in the incident will put un-der the Witness Protection Protection (WPP).

A Scooter for Every Rider“The Honda Scoopy, a beautiful new com-pact scooter, combines style and substance to meet the demands of an increasingly diverse motorcycle community”

A BEAUTIFUL new scoot-er by Honda is making a statement on Philippine city roads, and it’s only fitting that brand ambas-sadors Ramon “RJ” Jacinto and Patricia Grandidge have been chosen to per-sonify it. The new Honda Scoopy is a stylish compact scoot-er engineered to deliver excellent city cruising performance. Launched recently by Honda Phil-ippines, Inc. (HPI), the Scoopy boasts of trendset-ting design, value-driven features, and enhanced riding efficiency. More importantly, it repre-sents HPI’s commitment to meet the demands of an increasingly diverse motorcycle community. It i s a community that happens to include ro ck-and-rol l l egend Jacinto and sweet and sassy model-entrepreneur Grandidge. While one is known for his signature guitar riffs and radio-

aluminum chassis, and polished with design styl-ings that evoke both the timeless design of classic scooters as well as the metropolitan high-street vibe, the Scoopy appeals naturally to a wide range of riders. It’s also avail-able in a range of color options (pearl metalloid white, pearl angel yel-low, cheerful pink metal, candy rose red, and aster-oid black metallic), thus empowering the market with freedom of choice and expression. A scooter with features for every rider To Jacinto, who con-tinues to manage his own radio station, guitar store chain, and music lounge, the Scoopy serves as the

perfect vehicle for get-ting around the metro. The scooter’s 4-stroke, fuel-efficient air-cooled engine strikes the balance between performance and economy; the electric/kick starter system and cutting-edge CDI igni-tion, meanwhile, mobi-lize the motorcycle in an instant. As Jacinto cruises be-tween his studio, office, stores, and stage, zip-ping quietly and smoothly around Metro Manila on his Honda Scoopy, design innovations like an ergonomic platform, dual pillion steps, and an enhanced brake combi-nation system keep him (and his guitar) safe and secure at all times. Gran-didge, on the other hand, re-lies on the Scoopy to showcase her indi-v i d u a l i t y

a s well as to demon- strate that she is truly a woman of sub-stance. When not mod-eling, she runs her own confectionery business, and is thus as comfortable delivering cupcakes on the sleek scooter as pos-ing in front of a camera. Cushy seating, spacious legroom, and generous underseat storage make the Honda Scoopy a prac-tical vehicle of choice; a trendy set of headlights and tail light, meanwhile, ensures greater visibil-ity on the road, even in dim or night-time riding conditions.

didge’s grace-ful arr ivals are addition-

friendly melodies, and the other for her super-model good looks and entrepreneurial savvy, both share a common pas-sion for motorcycles. It thus comes to no surprise that Honda’s two newest brand ambassadors now prefer to ride and arrive in style using their own custom Honda Scoopys: a rock-and-roll-inspired version—complete with airbrushed electric gui-tars—for Jacinto and, for Grandidge, a pink and purple modification of the scooter, accented with cupcake patterns. The Honda Scoopy is poised to win over even more motorcycle users. Lightweight, com-pact, built with a durable

stand switch that stops the engine to avoid accidental acceleration when the Scoopy is being parked, a truly innovative feature that can be found only in Honda scooters, plus a functional parking brake lock that makes handling easy when mounting the motorcycle’s stand. It is by equipping the Honda Scoopy with these features—and more—that Honda is able to broaden its appeal to motorcycle users of all kinds. Of course, there’s also the face that the new scooter, as one will notice at first sight, is oozing with style, making it irresistible to the rock-and-rollers, the sweet and sassy, and ev-eryone else in between.
