Jihadists On A Killing SpreeeIn Troubled South

CCCCContinued frontinued frontinued frontinued frontinued from page 1om page 1om page 1om page 1om page 1The radical militants in

Indonesia and Malaysia, aswell as the Southeast Asianterror group Jema’ahIslamiyah also pledged alle-giance to the IS last year.

Last year, the jihadistsalso released a video of theIS’s Alhayat Media Center,which shows the Philippinesas among countries inSoutheast Asia where theywere planning to expand the“Khilafah” (caliphate).

Most of the Ansaru’lKhilafah members are basedin Sultan Kudarat provinceand operate in nearby areasof Maguindanao, Lanao delSur and Lanao del Norte,where the BIFF and KIM areactive.

They now use the blackIS (Daesh) flag, just like whatthe Abu Sayyaf does, in theprovinces of Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu – all in theAutonomous Region in Mus-lim Mindanao (ARMM) – towhich Maguindanao andLanao del Sur belong.

Basilan also has becomethe bastion of power of theAbu Sayyaf after its leaderspledged allegiance to the IS.

And in a propaganda videoreleased this year by the AbuSayyaf and picked up by in-ternational media, morethan two dozen gunmen –including child warriors – ledby rebel leader IsnilonHapilon, were seen hiking inthe hinterlands of Basilanwhile chanting “DawlahIslamiyah (Islamic State)” af-ter which they recited anArabic script of bayah, orpledge of allegiance.

Hapilon, alias “AbuAbdullah,” was named as thenew leader of the “HarakatulIslamiyah” (Islamic Move-ment), the name given to theAbu Sayyaf by its founderAbdurajak AbubakarJanjalani – who was slain ina police shootout in Basilanin Dec. 1998.

The Abu Sayyaf evolvedto a notorious group knownfor having carried outkidnappings, bombings andother criminal activities insouthern Philippines.

The US government hasoffered a $5 million bountyfor Hapilon’s head – dead oralive.

In the video, Hapilonwas shown with Abu Harith

Al-Filibbieni, who is reportedto be deputy commander ofthe al-Ansar Infantry Divi-sion of the IS, and MohdNajib Husen (Hussein), alias“Abu Annas Al Muhajir,” a di-vision head of the Ansaral-Sharia of the IS.

The rebels explained inthe video that they had pre-viously done the bayah, butdid it again in front of theirnew leaders. It was unknownwhen the video was re-corded, but it was releasedjust after Philippine authori-ties claimed that Husen waskilled during offensive op-erations against the AbuSayyaf in the troubled prov-ince of Basilan in December.

Husen was with otherMalaysian jihadists –Mahmud Ahmad,Muhammad JoraimeeAwang Raimee, Amin Bacoand Jeknal Adil – who fled tosouthern Philippines report-edly to recruit militants andsend them to “Dar al-Harb”(Place of War), referring toSyria and Iraq, where the ISestablished its own caliphatestate.

Mga trabahador kumasa kontraKuwaiti banana exporters

DAVAO CITY - Nagsagawang protesta ang mgatrabahador ng isang Ku-waiti banana exporter salabas ng tanggapan nitosa Davao City mataposna inakusahan angMusahamat Farms, Inc. ngillegal na pagsibak sa mgamangagawa nito sa bayanng Pantukan saCompostela Valley prov-ince sa Mindanao.

Sinabi ni EsperidionCabaltera, ang presidentng Musahamat WorkersLabor Union, na umabotna sa 52 ang bilang ng mgatrabahador na sinibak ngkumpanya mula pa noonPebrero 26 nitong taon.

“So far, 52 workershave been dismissed, 19have been placed under30-day suspension and 19union members, includ-ing 9 union leaders are tobe given their walking pa-pers,” pahayag pa niCabaltera.

Tutol diumano angkumpanya sa kanilang

pagtatanggol sa mgakarapatan ng mgamangagawa.

“Musahamat’s designhere is to eradicate thepresence of leaders andstaunch supporters of theKMU union because theydo not want us aroundshouting for rights. Wehave been consistentlystanding up to thecompany’s policy of arbi-trary dismissals. We havebeen helping "overstay-ing" workers or“job-orders” who exceedservice for six months andone day attain regular sta-tus. The company’sanswer is to dismiss themoutright but we are herefighting for their reinstate-ment,” wika pa niCabaltera.

Binansagan pa nitong“incorrigible unionbuster” ang kumpanyamatapos itongmagpadala ng liham sa 19union leaders atmiyembro na kumu-

kwestyon sa kanilangpagasali sa picket noongPebrero na ayon kayCabaltera ay kanilangKarapatan o freedom ofexpression at tahimik rinumano ito.

“Musahamat Farms’abusive behavior towardsits workers is deplorable.What they did is clearlyunion busting. This com-pany thinks itself as abovethe law. The workers’ is-sues are legitimate – rightagainst illegal dismissals,illegal deductions, andregularization. The LaborCode does not exemptforeign employers fromimplementing labor lawsand Musahamat shouldrespect the law and therights of Filipino work-ers,” sabi pa ni Cabaltera.

Hindi naman agadmakunan ng pahayag angmga opisyal ngMusahamat Farms ukol saalegasyon at bintang niCabaltera laban sa kanila.(Mindanao Examiner)

Aquino inaugurates Basilan road projectBASILAN – President Aquinoflew to the volatile provinceof Basilan last week andinaugurated the completed135-kilometer circumferen-tial road project launched bythe Philippine Army and theDepartment of Public Worksand Highways during thetime of President FidelRamos in the 1990s.

Aquino was accompa-nied by Governors MujivHataman of the Muslim au-tonomous region and JumAkbar of Basilan province.

The president’s visitcame despite a series ofbombings and ambush onsoldiers by the Abu Sayyaflate Sunday. One militiaman,

Masital Indasal, was slightlyinjured in the explosion inSumisip town where Aquinoled local officials in the inau-guration of the road project.

The military also helpedconstruct the road projectwhich was financed througha concessional facility ex-tended by Saudi Arabia. Thecircumferential road projectwas first launched by themilitary’s Southern Com-mand under the Basilan TaskForce and had stalled manytimes due to rebel attacks.

In 2014, the DPWH un-der Rogelio Singsonaccelerated the road devel-opment project in Basilanwhich is also funded by

Saudi Arabia under the so-called Mindanao RoadsImprovement Project.

The army said a loan of75 million Saudi riyals wasextended on October 2005 –to revive the road project af-ter being stalled for manyyears – while the Filipinogovernment provided acounterpart fund of 1.118billion pesos.

The circumferentialroad project is seen as a ma-jor infrastructure initiative tolift Basilan from poverty andbring prosperity in the prov-ince as part of thegovernment’s campaignagainst local terrorism andlawlessness in the area, state

media said.The DPWH said the

completed concrete pavingworks was part of the 47-kmconstruction and improve-ment project for thecircumferential road costingabout P1.567 billion. Theproject not only connects alltowns of Basilan, but also re-duced the travel time from 5hours to only 2 hours andmaking it easy for farmers totransport their products.

Also in 2014, Abu Sayyafleader Radzmi Jannatul at-tacked and killed 6 armysoldiers who were sent toSumisip to secure the area forthe visit of Hataman andother officials. Among those

killed in the November 2 at-tack in the village of Libugwas 2nd Lieutenant JunCorpuz, platoon leader of theAlpha Company of the 64thInfantry Battalion. Two othersoldiers survived, but werewounded in the fighting thatensued.

A military investigationinto the deadly attack by theal-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyafprovince showed that mili-tants were targeting to kill thelocal army commanderColonel Roland Bautista,head of the 104th InfantryBrigade, and probably othergovernment officials in hisgroup who were due to in-spect the government road

project.Corpuz’s team was pa-

trolling the village whenthey engaged about 20 mili-tants sparking a fierce gunbattle that lasted almost 45minutes. They said the AbuSayyaf attack was meant toderail the completion of thecircumferential roadproject.

Zamboanga region hashighest rubber production

RUBBER TREES have alwaysbeen known to produce amilky white sap known as la-tex which is being used inmany ways and modern pro-cessing of the latex sapproduced has been generat-ing income for the localcommunity in ZamboangaPeninsula.

The region is consideredto have the highest produc-tion of natural rubber in thecountry, producing 171,126tons in 2010 and 188,934tons 2011. With this flourish-ing rubber industry, a majorchallenge is to ensure thatthe state and quality of theirrubber and rubber productscomply with industry regula-tions and marketrequirements.

The Philippine RubberIndustry Association (PRIA)has identified the need for arubber testing facility in thecountry to provide objectiveevidence using scientific ap-proach of the rubber’s stateand quality.

To address this chal-lenge, the Department ofScience and Technology(DOST) provided funds tothe region’s rubber industrythrough its so-called Grants-in-Aid program to set up alaboratory testing facilitythat will analyze the qualityof natural rubber crumbs.Quality of natural rubber isone of the top issues affect-ing the competitiveness ofthe industry.

The rubber testing labo-ratory located at the DOST inZamboanga City has the ca-pability to test sevenparameters: Dirt content,Nitrogen content, Ash, Vola-tile Matter, PlasticityRetention Index, Mooney

Viscosity and Color.Dirt Content helps de-

tect adulteration in theproduct for it affects the pro-cessing of rubber and itsquality. Nitrogen Content in-dicates possible adulterationwith skim latex if content ishigh. Ash Content helps de-tect adulteration with clay,talc, sludge and silicates andcoagulants such as sulfuricacid and phosphoric acid.

Meanwhile, VolatileMatter indicates dryness ofthe rubber where it shouldnot exceed 0.8% becausewet rubber may developmolds and foul odor. Plas-ticity Retention Index on theother hand, measures the re-sistance of rubber tooxidative degradation or ag-ing. Mooney Viscositycharacterizes the ability toprocess the rubber andlastly, Color determines thegrade of rubber crumbs. Allthese parameters are impor-tant in establishing thequality of the natural rubbercrumbs.

The facility is equippedwith major equipmentnamely, Plastimeter,Mooney Viscometer,Kjeldahl Block Digestionand Distillation System,Furnace, Laboratory Mill,Aging Chamber, AnalyticalBalance, Ultrasonic Bath,and Hydraulic Press.

To further elevate therubber industry inZamboanga, DOST assistedthe Philippine Pioneer Rub-ber Product Corp. (PPRPC)in Naga town in ZamboangaSibugay province throughits Small Enterprise Tech-nology Upgrading Program(SETUP) that provides assis-tance to micro, small and

medium enterprisesthrough funding, technol-ogy upgrade, andmanpower training.

According to DanielRevantad, manager ofPPRPC, the SETUP helpedthem compete in the rubberindustry. “Naisip naminnung palapit itong ASEANIntegration, hindi napwedeng yun produkto mona pwede na, kailanganpwedeng- pwede (Wethought that with the com-ing ASEAN Integration, youcan no longer make do witha so-so product. It should beexcellent). You have to copeup with the standard,”Revantad said.

DOST said it assistedPPRPC with a technologyintervention worth P8,276,800 for the improve-ment of their system andproduct; and manpower de-velopment with a projectduration from 2014 to 2017.Two units of slab cutter andtwo units of blending tankswere delivered and installedin the plant.

The PPRPC providesmilling services to rubber-producing cooperatives,rubber farmers and traders.It was organized in 2000 asa federation of six agrarianreform communities whichenabled them to avail theSETUP assistance. The pro-duction increased by 25%and they now provide betterquality and faster service torubber farmers and traders,became compliant to ISO2000 quality standards, andgenerated 23 additional em-ployees, from 127 to 150,according to a statement re-leased by DOST.

COTABATO CITY – Muslimsin the Philippines com-memorated the 48thanniversary of the infa-mous “Jabidah” massacreperpetrated during Marcostime.

The Jabidah massacre,also known as the“Corregidor” massacre, wasan incident which occurredon the night of March 18,1968 on the island ofCorregidor in Luzon wheremembers of the ArmedForces of the Philippineskilled at least 28 Muslim re-cruits under their custody.

The recruits weretrained to lead an invasionof Sabah in Malaysia whichis being claimed by the Phil-ippines, but the plan didnot push through and thetrainees were instead mur-dered by soldiers, except forone who survived the or-deal and exposed themassacre.

In Cotabato City, Gov-ernor Mujiv Hataman of theMuslim autonomous re-gion, led thecommemoration partici-pated by a huge crowd.

In his speech, Hatamansaid it has been almost fivedecades since the JabidahMassacre left its mark onthe Bangsamoro con-sciousness – “a mark akin toa wound that has neverfully healed as its scab ispicked over and over againwith every other act of in-justice committed againstour people.”

He said among theBangsamoro, the story ofJabidah needs no introduc-tion. “In our minds andhearts, there is no questionthat it happened and that itis true. In our history, thereis no question about itsrightful place in the longnarrative of our struggle forself-determination.”

“But for many other Fili-pinos, the reality of theJabidah Massacre remainseither unknown or denied.In the midst of all the un-knowns and denials, this iswhat we know: During theMarcos regime,Bangsamoro men weretaken to Corregidor from theisland provinces of Basilan,Sulu, and Tawi-tawi, andwere recruited to be part ofan elite commando groupcalled Jabidah. This grouphas been tasked to carry outOperation Merdeka, an op-eration that involveddestabilizing Sabah, allow-

Bangsamoro remembers‘Jabidah’ massacre

ing the Philippines to takeover the area.”

He continued on to re-lived the story behind themassacre – “one night, theirmilitary handlers began totake them by the dozen to aremote airstrip. Here ourbrothers were executed asthey were shot with ma-chine guns, making sure notone of them survived. Theywere indiscriminately shotat and summarily executed,after being treated unfairlythroughout the duration oftheir supposed training.”

“The number ofBangsamoro men killedranges from eleven to thethousands. No one knowsfor sure. This is because ourhistory knows not the exactnumbers or dates, becauseour history has always beensubjected to denial and era-sure,” he said.

Hataman further said:“After so many of our com-munities have been burneddown, so many of our fami-lies torn apart by war, and somany of our children grow-ing up while fightinginjustice, the murder of ourbrothers who wanted onlyto fight for our country wasthe final straw. Jabidah be-came the spark whichstarted the flames of ourstruggle.”

“It is our history thatspeaks of our pain and heal-ing, of conflict and survival,of losing and seeking ourrightful place in this coun-try. It is a history that hasbeen seared onto our mindsand our hearts by the fire ofour long and difficultstruggle, because no there isno other way for us to re-member.”

He said today,Bangsamoro people con-tinue the difficult task ofremembering – a task that isnecessary in the greaterstruggle for our rights asBangsamoros, a strugglethat we wage for lastingpeace and genuine justice.

“Never again will we al-low our people be hidden bythe shadows of the past, andwe will never forget ourpeople whose lives dependso much on peace andwhose deaths strongly de-mand justice,” Hatamansaid. In Manila, hundreds ofsectoral representatives thatincluded the youth, reli-gious groups, peaceorganizations, and the aca-deme also gathered inCorregidor Island to observe

the 48th year of the JabidahMassacre.

“CSOs play a crucialrole in promoting transi-tional justice to address pasthuman rights violationscommitted against theBangsamoro, such as theJabidah massacre,” LaisaAlamia, ARMM’s ExecutiveScretary, said.

Only in 2013, whenPresident Benigno Aquinowitnessed the 45th com-memoration of themassacre, did the nationalleadership fully recognizedthe historical injustice doneto the Bangsamoro. A his-torical marker recognizingthe killing of theBangsamoro men was un-veiled in 2015 near theairstip where the massacreoccurred.

For 21-year-oldJohnlypee Mokudef of theMaguindanao Youth Net-work, the commemorationof the massacre is an effec-tive way to raise theconsciousness of the youthabout the struggle of theMoros. “Pagbalik namin saground, tutulong kami sapag-eeducate sa ibangkabataan tungkol saipinaglalaban ng mgaBangsamoro (When we re-turn to our areas, we wouldhelp in educating the youthon the Bangsamorostruggle),” Mokudef said.

Being a Teduray, an in-digenous tribe in Upi,Maguindanao, he hopesthat more youth will be en-couraged to participate insimilar activities for betterinter-faith understanding ofissues in the religiously di-versified ARMM. TirmizyAbdullah, an assistant pro-fessor of history at theMindanao State Universityin Marawi City, Lanao delSur, said the Jabidah Massa-cre is more than just part ofhistory of the Bangsamoropeople, noting it is of reli-gious, cultural and historicalsignificance to the Morostruggle.

The commemoration,which featured a film view-ing and tour around theisland, bears the theme“Peace is the Justice WeSeek.” The Anak Mindanaoparty-list spearheaded theactivity in coordination withthe Corregidor FoundationInc., Mindanao Forum Inc.,and the ARMM.

“The Marcos dictator-ship chained the Filipinopeasantry to the monopoly ofagro-chem foreign corpora-tions, instrumental to theirbankruptcy and consequen-tial loss of lands,” Hicap said,adding, the introduction ofagro-chemical agriculture re-sulted irreparable damage tobiodiversity and environ-ment.

“We will never forget

More Groups Oppose Marcos VP bidgolden kuhol (apple snail)that the Marcos dictatorshipunleashed in the country-side, so that farmers would becompelled to combat themwith pesticides manufac-tured by foreign agro-chemcorporations. Marcos dem-onstrated his utmost intellectin scamming coconut farm-ers through coco levy by hismany decrees,” Hicap said.

He said the Marcos fam-ily is yet to be heldaccountable for its cata-strophic programs andpolicies, affecting farmerssuch as at least 7 million em-ployed in agriculture,including 1 million coconutfarmers and 1 million depen-dents of the sugar industry.

“Martial law imposed byMarcos in 1972 was a periodof where all the oppression,exploitation, fraud againstthe farmers was imple-mented instantaneously, it islike raising hell against the

Filipino farmers,” Hicap said.“We totally urge Filipino

voters of today to opposeMarcos’ vice-presidential bid,denial that his father’s dicta-torship was totally immoral isnatural of him as son, but histotal disregard of the sacri-fices, deaths, trauma of thevictims is outright inhuman,an unacceptable trait of sup-posedly national leader,” hesaid.

Marcos was also one ofthose lawmakers who tink-ered with the proposedBangsamoro Basic Law forMindanao and called the BBLa “foolish attempt” by Presi-dent Aquino in winningpeace in the troubled Muslimautonomous region. Andsubstituted the BBL with theso-called Basic Law for theBangsamoro AutonomousRegion whose provisionswere heavily modified fromthe original draft. (MindanaoExaminer)

Brussels attack investigation:What's next for authorities?

AUTHORITIES have iden-tified the two suicidebombers involved in theattack at the Brussels air-port, a senior Belgiansecurity source told CNN.

They are brothersKhalid and Brahim ElBakraoui, both of whomwere known to police, butfor organized crime, not foracts of terrorism, statebroadcaster RTBF re-ported.

Khalid El Bakraouirented an apartment inBrussels that was raidedlast week, the source said.

Investigators are ex-pected to ascertain cluesbased on the explosivesthat struck the airport anda metro station inMaelbeek, and they'rehunting for the one re-maining suspect that theythink is alive, digging upinformation and attempt-ing to untangle thenetwork used to plan theattack.

While Belgian officialssay both brothers were sui-cide bombers, a U.S.official briefed earlier onpreliminary evidence fromthe investigation says au-thorities are looking at thepossibility that one of theairport explosions mayhave been caused by abomb inside a suitcase andthe other was a suicidebombing.

breaks in the investigationappears to have come froma taxi driver.

Just hours after the ex-plosions, Belgianauthorities released aphoto from airport securitythat showed three men --two in black and one inlighter clothes, wearing ahat.

Video shows the menexiting a taxi and movingthrough the airport, ac-cording to two U.S.officials.

The two in darkerclothes are believed to besuicide bombers who diedin the explosions in theairport's departure lounge,according to Belgian fed-eral prosecutor FredericVan Leeuw.

Authorities are callinghim a wanted man andasked for the public's helptracking him down.

"It's Salah Abdeslamall over again," DirkCoosemans, a reporter atBelgian newspaper HetNieuwsblad, told CNN."This one was there to be asuicide terrorist, and hedidn't do it."

Belgian media also re-ported a Kalashnikovassault rifle was found inthe departure hall of theZaventem airport.

Fortunately, a taxidriver called police shortlyafter the photo was re-leased and said he believedthat he drove the trio to theairport.

The driver told au-thorities that hispassengers would not al-low him to unload thesuitcases from the cab. Healso led investigators to thelocation where he pickedthe three of them up.

prompted authorities toraid a residence after theattacks, the officials said.

Investigators found anail bomb, chemical prod-ucts and an ISIS flagduring a house search inthe northeast Brusselsneighborhood ofSchaerbeek, Belgium'sfederal prosecutor said in astatement.

Forensic teams arenow scouring an apart-

ment building in thatneighborhood and havebeen seen carrying outbags of evidence, accord-ing to CNN's FrederikPleitgen, who was report-ing from just outside thebuilding.

togethertogethertogethertogethertogetherDetermining what

type of explosives wereused will be crucial, ac-cording to CNN NationalSecurity Analyst PeterBergen.

French prosecutorshave said that the bombsused in the November Parisattacks were made fromtriacetone triperoxide, orTATP.

If the same type ofbombs were used in Parisand Brussels, that wouldbe a key clue linking thetwo attacks.

"Such bombs havebeen a signature of jihadistterrorists in the West formore than a decade be-cause the materials are soeasy to acquire, unlikemilitary-grade explosives,which are tightly con-trolled in much of theWest," Bergen said.

TATP-based bombs re-quire technical know-howand bulk purchases of hy-drogen peroxide or hairbleach. That helps authori-ties winnow downpotential bomb-makingsuspects, because makingthe explosives can some-times bleach hair. Soauthorities can identifybomb-makers in part byrecognizing unusually-bleached hair or asking

sellers to report any suspi-ciously large purchases ofhydrogen peroxide.

While authorities havebeen able to move quicklyon intelligence from theairport attacks, very littlehas been publicly revealedabout the bombing at theMaelbeek metro station.

Coosemans, the HetNieuwsblad reporter, saysthat's because there isn't asmuch surveillance therecompared to the airport.

"We just know lessabout the Maelbeek attackbecause we don't have pic-tures there," he told CNN."The police know lessabout Maelbeek."UUUUUnrnrnrnrnravavavavaveling the networeling the networeling the networeling the networeling the networkkkkk

Two senior U.S. offi-cials told CNN they believethe Belgium attack is tiedto the same network as ter-ror suspect SalahAbdeslam (ISIS hasclaimed responsibility forthe attack.)

And the "working as-sumption" in Belgium isthat the attackers camefrom the network behindthe Paris attack, Belgian se-curity sources said.However, they cautioned itis very early in the latest in-vestigation.

The identities of thethree airport suspectsaren't clear to U.S. authori-ties, either because Belgianauthorities haven't com-pleted identification orhaven't shared that infor-mation withcounterterrorism officialsin the U.S., the officials said.

Going forward, intelli-gence sharing will be veryimportant, says SteveMoore, a CNN law enforce-ment contributor.

"They obviously havesome information. Theydon't know if they're look-ing at one cell or a series ofcells. And so now it's timeto get all around at the sametable and exchange infor-mation," he said. "If youcan get them all to use thesame currency, I cannotbelieve that you can't getthem all to share intelli-gence." (Joshua Berlinger,CNN.

Aslong as you know the rightapps that can lend a hand,your life could become a loteasier. Here is our list of thebest productivity apps, re-cently updated to includethe useful Tiny Scanner,and the essential Dashlane.

If your work requires alot of document scanning,you should be armed withTinyScanner. Basically,with a high-resolution cam-era, your smartphonebecomes a portable docu-ment scanner.

Take a snap, crop it andselect a PDF page size (likeA4), then hit the tick button.It's that simple: Tiny Scan-ner will produce a blackand white scan of a docu-ment which looks totallylegit.

This automatically fil-ters files to make them looklike real scans and its crop-ping tools are neat andeffective. You will need a de-cent (ish) camera andcolored PDFs tend not tolook as strong, but it's an ef-fective replacement for ahome scanner.

2. D2. D2. D2. D2. Dashlane Pashlane Pashlane Pashlane Pashlane PassworassworassworassworasswordddddMMMMManageranageranageranageranager

Dashlane PasswordManager is a service whichsaves all of your passwordsfor all of your logins in oneplace.

Many apps and ser-vices seek to do the same,but Dashlane gets our rec-ommendation because itcombines so many featuresso easily and effectively.

Take credit cards, forexample. Say you don'twish to save them on siteslike eBay or Amazon, so youtype them in manually eachtime. Dashlane can saveyour card details so that youcan easily copy and pastethem into online formswhen you need to.

It’s safely encrypted, it’sintuitive, and the basic ser-vice is free. Wonderful.

3. G3. G3. G3. G3. Google Doogle Doogle Doogle Doogle DrrrrriviviviviveeeeeGoogle's own produc-

tivity suite should be one ofyour first stops on the pro-ductivity train— note thatDocs, Sheets and Slides arenow available asstandalone apps as well. Interms of the main Driveapp, it lets you access andview files stored in thecloud and synced fromyour connected computers,and any that you particularrely on can be cached to ac-cess offline.

The individual apps letyou create documents,spreadsheets and presenta-tions from your mobiledevice. Whether you needto apply some last-minuteedits to that company re-port on the journey to theoffice, or you're busy work-

ing on your novel duringlunchtime, these polishedapps make it look easy.

4. 4. 4. 4. 4. TTTTTeamVeamVeamVeamVeamViewiewiewiewiewerererererYour Android device is

a great way to get workdone on the go, but whatabout actually being able toconnect to your desktop orlaptop computer from any-where in the world? Thereare a ton of remote accessapps out there for Android,but TeamViewer is one ofthe best, and it's free forpersonal use.

A simple PIN code is allyou need to connect,though your computerneeds to have theTeamViewer client softwareinstalled too. You can thendo anything you would nor-mally be able to do sat atyour desk, from transfer-ring files to new locations toloading up software thatyou can't get on yoursmartphone or tablet.

5. E5. E5. E5. E5. EvvvvvererererernotenotenotenotenoteOne of the true power-

houses of productivitysoftware, Evernote is ofcourse available on An-droid as it is pretty mucheverywhere else. Part of thebeauty of the software isthat it's so flexible — it'stricky to define what it ac-tually does because howyou use it is largely up toyou and your workflow.

Evernote can cope withsimple documents, images,PDFs, clippings from theweb, audio files, annota-tions and more besides,and because it keeps every-thing synchronized acrossall of your devices, it's agreat way of taking yourwork with you whereveryou go. Most features arefree to use but a premiumoffering is also available.

6. 6. 6. 6. 6. TTTTTodoistodoistodoistodoistodoistPlenty of apps have

tried to tackle that peren-nial problem of helping youactually get things done,but Todoist hits a higherwatermark than most. Theapp enables you to orga-nize your tasks with colorsand sub-folders, and it cansync your lists betweenmultiple devices (though italso works if you go offline).

It was named one of thebest Google Play apps oflast year by Google itself,and it's easy to see why —the interface is clear anduncluttered, creating andediting tasks is verystraightforward, and extrafeatures such as progresstracking really add to theapp's overall impact onyour productivity.

7. S7. S7. S7. S7. Sunrunrunrunrunrise Cise Cise Cise Cise CalendaralendaralendaralendaralendarSunrise Calendar has

proved so impressive thatMicrosoft recently bought itto boost its own productiv-ity suite of tools. It syncswith Google Calendar, Ex-change, Facebook andiCloud to bring you a selec-tion of different ways tokeep up with your agendaand make sure you're al-

ways on top of what youneed to be doing and whereyou need to be.

There are a number ofdifferent views to choosefrom, you can reply to invi-tations from inside the app,and there's also the optionto configure which calen-dars can interrupt you withnotifications and whichcan't. If you often find your-self drowning in a sea ofappointments and meet-ings, then give SunriseCalendar a try.

8. Asana8. Asana8. Asana8. Asana8. AsanaAsana makes keeping

track of projects and tasks abreeze (or as much of abreeze as it's ever going tobe). Basically, it's a to do listmanager, but a very ad-vanced one: Tasks can beassigned to team members,split up into projects andcharted over time so you al-ways know what you andyour colleagues should bedoing next.

Part of the app's appeallies in the easy way that youcan rearrange and orderyour tasks with a few swipesand taps on yoursmartphone or tablet'sscreen — and the app hasrecently been updated withGoogle's new Material De-sign look, so moving aroundinside it is a feast for the eyes.

9. 9. 9. 9. 9. TTTTTrrrrrelloelloelloelloelloTrello is similar to Asana

in that it allows you to keepon top of multiple projectsand tasks without collaps-ing in a heap of informationoverload. If you need to beable to check in on severaldifferent projects at oncefrom your smartphone ortablet then Trello is one ofthe best ways to go about it.

The app is basedaround cards — each cardcan have members, labels,dates and other informationattached to it, so it's simpleto use despite being verypowerful. Everything issynced to the cloud as wellso you can access your Trelloaccount from the web aswell as your mobile devices.

ARMM’s Office of the Regional Governorsecures ISO certification on quality serviceCOTABATO CITY - The Officeof the Regional Governor inthe Autonomous Region inMuslim Mindanao (ORG-ARMM) has been awardedan ISO 9001:2008 certifica-tion that affirms itscompliance to internation-ally accepted standard onquality customer service.

The “ISO is an indepen-dent, non-governmentalinternational organizationwith a membership of 162national standards bodies.”Its International Standards,such as the ISO 9001:2008,“ensure that products andservices are safe, reliable andof good quality.”

ARMM Governor MujivHataman said the ISO certi-fication is part of theircommitment to improvegovernance and providepeople in the region the kindof public service they de-serve.

The ORG-ARMM wasevaluated by the TUVRheinland Philippines, Inc.and successfully passed atwo-phase external audit.The first phase involved the

assessment of its QualityManagement System (QMS)documents composed of theQuality Policy, QualityManual and the Quality Pro-cedure, which wereapproved in June last year.

The second phase of theaudit was an on-site evalua-tion of the actualimplementation of the QMSon the different offices of theORG-ARMM.

The scope of the certifi-cation includes the provisionof completed staff work forrequest for the RegionalGovernor’s issuances andengagements.

“These core processesprovides two of the main ser-vices of ORG and we want toensure our clients that wedon’t only provide qualityservices but also that theseservices undergo a qualitystandard procedure,” Ms.Norkhalila Mae Mambuay-Campong, ARMM cabinetsecretary said.

Campong acted as thequality management repre-sentative of theORG-ARMM.

She said that althoughthe audit focused on the twocore processes, the certifica-tion also looked into otherfunctions such as recordsmanagement, monitoringof client feedback, resourcemanagement, and meansfor continual improvement.

The DevelopmentAcademy of the Philippines(DAP) assisted the ORG-ARMM in its ISO standardapplication as part of the re-gional government’s effortsto further good governancein the ARMM.

The ORG-ARMM,which wields ministerialcontrol over some 40 lineagencies and support of-fices, is now one of the fewLocal Government Units inthe country that have beengranted an ISO certification.

The ARMM had earlierpassed the Good Gover-nance Conditions (GGC) setby the national government,qualifying its more than30,000 employees to receivePerformance-Based Bonus(PBB). (Bureau of Public In-formation)
