According to a report, at around 6 a.m. on October 18, 2012, elements of the 27th IB under the 10th IB Division of the Philippine Army led by 1st lt. Dante Jimenez strafed a hut in Fayahlob, Sitio Datal-Ayong, Bgy. Danlag, Tampakan, South Cotabato, killing Juvy Capion, 27 who was

VOTING 113 to 104 with three abstentions, the House of representatives early Thursday morning approved the controversial reproductive Health (rH) bill on second reading.

The landmark legisla-tion was approved after nearly six hours of voting.

The continuation of the individual period of amend-ments HB 4244 started wednesday at 6 p.m. and was terminated at 7:42 p.m.

Before the measure was put to a vote, a roll call was conducted which showed that 217 lawmakers showed up for the historic vote which later on reached 226 upon counting the late comers.

Following House rules, the measure was first put on’ viva voce’ voting.

The result was in confu-sion as anti-rH supporters in the gallery joined in the voice voting which led to nominal voting.

The nominal voting started at 8:15 p.m.and took six hours to complete as lawmakers took turns in explaining their votes. The voting ended at 2 a.m.

House approves reproductive Health Bill 113-104Thursday.

The vot ing pattern followed four distinctive lines of thought - those who voted according to the popular will of their constituents, those who voted on personal beliefs, those who thought the bill is unconstitutional and those who voted on reli-gious beliefs.

most of the anti-rH legislators either voted on religious grounds or declared the measure as unconstitutional. Others meanwhile voted against the measure because they deemed it an unnecessary bill or a combination of the three reasons previously stated.

But even despite the

overwhelming number of Catholic leaders present during session, led by Arch-bishop ramon Agruelles, Bishops Teodoro Bacani Jr., Broderick Pabillo among others, the measure was approved by a slim margin.

The approved HB 4244 for the third and final read-ing of the bill on monday, December 17.

GeNerAl Santos City––rescuers have widened their search on Thursday for hundreds of fishermen from this city and nearby Sarangani Province who are still missing following last week’s onslaught of typhoon “Pablo.”

kIDAPAwAN City––The Catholic parish priest of New Bataan, Compostela Valley has appealed for more relief goods and food items as parishioners affected by typhoon Pablo have resorted to looting and robbery to survive.

Father edgar Nuling, parish priest of hardest hit town of New Bataan, said food is already scarce almost two weeks after the devastating typhoon wiped out most villages, including upland communities were not spared by flash floods.

“Specifically, we ask for food and malong because of its mutliple usefullness,” Fr. Nuling said in a radio interview by radyo Bida, a church-run radio which launched Oplan Tulong Pablo to help calamity victims in Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley

“life is really difficult here, most of the people have received only few food packs, few sets of clothing, others have not received any,” he said.

The Oblates of mary Immaculate, through its media ministry and radio Stations DXOm-Fm in koronadal City, DXND-Am and DXDm-Fm in kidapawan City, DXmS-Am and DXOl-Fm in Cotabato City, have raised funds and used clothing for the victims.

These items and the cash donations will be delivered by the Oblates of mary Immaculate through the OmI missionary Foundation (OmF) to New Bataan

By BEN D. ARChE DAVAO City––After the opening of a premier mall in Lanang this city, SM prime holdings Inc. has continued to look for more properties for its expansion in Davao Region.

hans T. Sy, president of the company said they are scouting for properties in Tagum City in Davao del Norte and Digos City in Davao del Sur.

Sy said he has been visiting the region to continue assessing the potentials of these places.

SM is planning to open an average of one mall each year in Mindanao, Sy added.

Next year, Sy said the com-pany will build the second mall in Cagayan de Oro

City and the first SM mall in Butuan City.

The company is targeting

SM to open more stores in Region XI

four additional malls in the next five years.

A mall in General Santos City has just opened.

Annie S. Garcia, Shopping Center Management Corp., op-erator of the SM malls, said the company has continued to find strategies to make shopping more convenient for customers.

Garcia said among the changes made include allow-ing government agencies to set up satellite offices in the malls like the Land Transportation Office and the Department of Foreign Affairs.

In addition, Garcia said some payment centers are already in the malls to allow shoppers pay their bills to utilities like light and water while on shopping.

The services of these cen-ters are open even on Sundays, she said.

ThE damage caused by Typhoon “Pablo” to the country’s agricul-ture sector is now P11.56 billion, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA).

The DA report also showed massive devastation in high-value crops like banana and coconut, as well as rice and corn -- with total crop area affected now reaching 84,679 hectares, of which more than 78,000 hectares have no chance of recovery.

The banana subsector in-curred the biggest damage at P7.362 billion, as the typhoon destroyed 154,446 metric tons (MT) of the product.

Of the 26,437 hectares of plantations that lay in the ty-phoon’s path, some 25,720 hectares could no longer be recovered, the DA said.

On the other hand, the co-

Pablo’s damage on agriculture reaches P11.5bconut sector incurred P766.822 million in damages with over a million trees felled planted in 15,087 hectares.

“There has been some no-table increases in damages in Region 10, particularly corn, livestock and mango,” the DA said.

In the corn industry, some 76,544 MT were destroyed valued at P1.240 billion. The typhoon hit 34,834 hectares, of which 32,779 hectares could no longer be saved.

Considerable damages were also reported in the rice sector, with over P407.392 million worth of palay destroyed.

The typhoon damaged 27,566 hectares of rice land, of which 26,186 hectares have no chance of recovery.

Damage to high value crops like vegetables and fruits

amounted to P130.434 million while the livestock and poultry sector incurred P415.163 million in losses. Damage to the fisheries sector reached P28.71 million.

The typhoon also inflicted damage to farm infrastructure, with irrigation facilities sustain-ing the biggest at P1.168 billion, followed by fisheries at P24.598 million.

Agriculture Secretary Pro-ceso Alcala, in an interview, said the recent calamity in Mindanao would not adversely affect the total national food and rice supply.

he also assured that the target self-sufficiency in rice by end-2013 can be attained despite losses in the grains sector due to the typhoon.

The DA expects farm output to increase by 4 to 5 percent this year to be backed by strong

production from rice, corn and fisheries subsectors.

Alcala said he already in-structed DA-Davao regional officials to speed up the delivery services and provision of inter-ventions so that affected farmers and fisherfolk would recover and resume their farming and fishing enterprises.

he said initial DA assistance includes the distribution of about 15,719 bags certified rice seeds, open-pollinated and hybrid corn seeds, and thousands of tis-sue cultured banana plantlets, including veterinary drugs and biologics for livestock raisers.

The National Food Authority (NFA) -- through a memorandum of agreement with the affected local government units -- will also lend rice on credit. affected local government units with rice on credit.

Think a Minute

Jhan Tiafau hurst

THINk a minute.why do bad things hap-

pen to good people? why does that kind, honest per-son who does the right thing get fired from his job? And why does that evil crook become rich and get away with lying and cheating?

maybe you’ve asked yourself: “If God is so good, then why doesn’t He do something?” we feel like the little girl who wanted a big new bicycle. But her father told her no because she had to wait until she was bigger. The girl got angry and said, “Then I want a new Daddy!”

Sometimes when we don’t agree with God we act like that little girl who can’t trust her father, even though He knows much more than her. He under-stands that she’s not ready for a big bicycle. But she just

Why do bad things happen to good people?

thinks her father’s not fair or doesn’t really love her.

Our problem sometimes is that we’re looking for the wrong answer. we don’t believe what God is doing is for our happiness, or that He’s even isn’t listening to us. But He is. In fact, He’s answering needs in your life you don’t even know about!

As one wise person prayed: “God, don’t punish me by giving me everything I ask for.” You see, many times we simply don’t know what will make us happy

for the rest of our lives. we just want to be comfortable and happy for the moment right now. But God is trying to help us and make sure we are happy forever. So He’s trying to fix the bigger problem of our heart and relationship with Him our maker.

Does that mean Jesus doesn’t care about our suf-fering now? No, it’s just the opposite. Jesus cares very much! He knows exactly what it feels like to be hurt and suffer unfairly for some-

thing you didn’t do. when God the Son Him-

self, who was completely innocent, took all the pain and penalty for our wrongs and sins, He cried out to God the Father: “why have you left me?”

even Jesus Himself, after He became a human being, did not get the answer He wanted right away.

was it fair? No. But it was God’s mercy and love for us and our only hope, since God the Son’s death was the only way He could forgive you and me to give us a new life.

So why not put your life in the hands of your maker who loves you that much? Decide today to start living for Him His way, knowing that everything He does in your life is for your perma-nent happiness and success.

Just Think a minute.

leASeD, FACeS ClO-SUre’: Fred Gabot, a vet-eran newsman who meta-morphosed into an educator as a member of the Board of regents of the Pamantasan ng lungsod ng maynila (Plm), is issuing a dire warning: Plm may stop its operations altogether and, therefore, close down, on account of the failure of mayor Alfredo lim’s

government to release Plm funds amounting to about P569 million.

In a letter addressed to alumni and friends of Plm which was circulated in the Internet with many of the university’s officials being copy furnished, Gabot said: “Plm officials… revealed that (the school) was in dire financial straits due to several millions of pesos of budget unremitted to Plm…”

Subject to any clarifica-tion that Plm and mayor lim or anyone from the City Hall may want to issue by

way of a reaction to Gabot’s letter or to this column, I have decided to publish the entirety of Gabot’s letter, in the interest of finding out the truth and help-ing the Plm community, especially its studentry, to find a solution.

CHrISTmAS time is an op-portunity for every person to demonstrate his love to other people, may they be their own loved ones or strangers by way of giving gifts or favors.

The Scriptures teaches us about giving gifts in mat-thew 2:10-11 which talks about the magi (wise men) giving gifts to Jesus at his home: “when they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and pre-sented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. “

The Bible gives a won-

Give gifts on Christmas

derful story about the gift God gave us—Jesus Christ—and we can use it as an avenue to present the gospel and to show love. Giving and receiving gifts can be part of fulfill-ing what Paul says about giving in 2 Corinthians 8:7-8, “But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and

in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.”

Paul was talking to the churches who were giving him gifts in the form of money so that he could keep on in the ministry.

we can apply this same lesson to our own lives by giving to others, not just at Christmas, but year round!

Aside from our getting preoccupied with our gift lists, it should not be the least to thank the lord for the gift of His Son (John 3:16). But does giving gifts have to take away from the true meaning of Christmas? No, it does not. If we fo-cus on the wonderful gift of salvation the lord has given us , giving to others is a natural expression of that gratitude.

The key is our focus. Is your focus on the gift, or on the ultimate gift-giver, our gracious Heavenly Father?

every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

IT IS interesting how a word develops and acquires new meaning through time.

Take for example, the word bank. Do you know that it actually originated from a very ancient term from a very ancient time?

According to sources compiled by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the word bank traces its roots to the Ancient roman term for bench.

The word, bancu, referred to a long bench used by the roman empire’s money changers who customarily placed the wooden seat in the middle of an enclosed courtyard.

Historians said the money changers sitting on the bancu exchanged foreign money with the currency produced by the imperial mint, which was responsible for the production of the sole legal tender in rome.

An interesting sidelight: Ancient roman bankers, including those who plied their trade during the time of Jesus Christ, were known to be very notorious.

“we know that the banker of roman antiquity was not so highly respected….. In fact, the ancient financier was a rather highly despised member of the economic community by reason of his usurious practices,” said Ben-jamin Bromberg, who wrote an article for The economic History review entitled “Temple Banking in rome.”

Bromberg further explained that usury was synony-mous to the “mean employment of banking” during the roman times.

wHeN you run a busi-ness, one of the crucial decisions you will ever have to make is choosing a name or a brand.

You conduct brain-storming sessions with both loved ones and busi-ness partners.

You scour the market for customer’s preferenc-es and your competitors’ names. Some even conduct surveys on what name is best given to a product or service.

eventually, the name of your product or ser-vice must be given legal protection.

when you move in this direction, keep two things in mind: you must protect your brand aggressively and you must do so at the soonest possible time.

Your competition may be just around the corner waiting to pounce on your precious business secrets or your brand’s reputation, so don’t wait and act at once.

So, how do you go about protecting your brand? Here are five guidelines to legal issues:

1. File your patents and trademarks. If you are in the business of offering a

Your brand and five related legal issues

So the public may know

atty. Sara Jane a. Suguitan

form of invention or tech-nology, you must secure a patent application at once.

Do note that you will need a skilled patent lawyer or a patent paralegal for this to ensure that your claims are patentable.

Bear in mind that patent applications take at least twenty months and require drafting of technical docu-ments and drawings.

Trademarks refer to brand names and must also be filed as soon as possible.

register not only the brand that you will be us-ing but all the variations, taglines and logos that are derived from your brand.

2. keep trade secrets. keep quiet about your pending applications.

Don’t be in a rush to divulge your research and development just to any-

one.You never know who

will copy your inventions and innovations which you yourself unwittingly told to a stranger.

Intellectual property is normally protected on a first-to-file basis.

If one gets ahead of you, filing will be for naught.

If you are to make a presentation to investors, be careful that you don’t give away all your secrets.

If it can’t be helped, present it to them verbally but do not give them a copy of the formula or secret ingredient of your product.

3. Prepare your licens-ing or standard contracts. licensing your technology to somebody else entitles you to payment of royalties.

However, you must be strict to enforce your in-

tellectual property rights against all those who will come in contact with your product or service. That includes employees and sales agents who may have a tendency to steal your techniques and set up shop as your competition.

4. Do a brand or trade-mark search. Trademarks are protected on a first-to-file basis.

make sure that your trademark has not yet been registered for the same product by another person or company.

Hire an IP lawyer or agent to conduct a trade-mark search for you or do it yourself through the Bureau of Trademarks.

5. Stake out your claim. If you wrote articles, oper-ations manuals, advertise-ments, posters and other printed material for your brand, put the © sign on them.

Stake out your claim and write “All rights re-served. © 2012 by Your Company” in your com-pany’s written materials.

mANIlA -The rampant overcharging of its clients by telecommunications companies has been de-nounced by a lawmaker. reports said the telecom firms have been overcharg-ing their subscribers on text messaging despite the presence of directives from the Office of the President and the National Telecom-munications Commission (NTC) aimed at making text messaging more affordable to the public. rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy (Party-list, Bagong Hen-erasyon) urged the House Committee on Informa-tion and Communications Technology to conduct an inquiry on the issue to pro-tect the subscribers. Herrera-Dy, author of House resolution 2904, disclosed that the NTC has issued a directive in November 2012 ordering the nation’s top three tele-communications compa-nies to refund million of subscribers after finding out that firms have been overcharging their custom-ers on off-net text messages. “The telcos have been collecting an excess of 20

centavos –P1 instead of 80 centavos for each off-net-text message, or those sent from one network to another, since December 2011,” Herrera-Dy said. Herrera-Dy said esti-mates made by the Philip-pine Daily Inquirer showed that Smart Communica-tions, affiliate Sun Cellular and Globe Telecom may have to return at least P1.42 billion to their subscribers. Quoting the NTC, Her-rera-Dy also said the telcos had defied memorandum Circular No. 02-10-2011 or the “Interconnection Charge for Short messaging Service,” which took effect on December 1, 2011 and ordered the reduction of text messaging rates from P1 to 80 centavos for each text, due to reduction of interconnection charges from 35 centavos to 15 cen-tavos. “In order to avoid allega-tions of unfair rate setting practices, the telcos must follow the NTC directives to provide refunds to its overcharged subscribers and lower its off-net text messaging rates to the pre-scribed levels,” she said.

Phone firms denounced for overcharging

mANIlA - the Department of Transportation and Com-munications (DOTC) and the Department of Public works and Highways (DPwH) has been encouraged to “con-sider using weather-resistant infrastructure” for future countryside development projects. Judging from the dif-f iculty in delivering aid, search and rescue and re-building efforts in battered provinces, the former senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr., said there is an urgent need for infrastructure that is not only resilient to high winds and strong currents, but can be salvageable and rebuilt with-out special equipment. “Until recently, concrete structures were perhaps suit-able for our countryside,” he said. “But with more power-ful typhoons hitting an area that has hardly been visited by typhoons in the past, we need to look at modern technologies and design,” said Pimentel. He added that he had earlier called for more feeder ports throughout the country, and had this been imple-mented, the f low “ïn bulk” of urgently needed goods and materials, aid services, and special equipment would have greatly been helped. “All transportation channels are needed to receive the aid from the government and neighboring countries,” he said. He said that new ports should a lso use modern technology that makes it adaptable not just to chang-ing tides, but to inclement weather as well. “The technology already exists in sits in DPwH stock-piles all over the country, as

modular steel bridging mate-rials,” added Pimentel. “Now is the time to deploy these to restore access immediately.” In establishing bridges with modular steel components, DPwH engineers have been able to erect 28 meter spans in just a matter of days. longer spans have taken up to 3 weeks. This is however much shorter than the one or two years required for concrete structures. Ty pho on Pa blo c ut through mindanao, battering Compostela Valley (Comval) and Davao Oriental. It left in its wake at least 647 dead, 900 missing, an estimated Php15 billion in damage to agriculture and infrastruc-ture. Small towns such as Cateel in Comval were virtually leveled by powerful 200 kph winds. Government rescue and relief efforts are ongoing, but effectivity hampered by im-passable roads and collapsed bridge, which is contributing to a growing humanitar-

ian crisis. Three days after the storm has passed, some towns remain isolated and have no electricity, water or communications services. Furthermore, modular steel bridges have proven to be very adaptable to typhoon weather. when typhoon “Pe-dring” destroyed the Burnay bridge in lagawe, Ifugao, residents were expecting to be cut off for months. Us-ing modular steel bridging materials however, DPwH personnel were able to es-tablish an emergency bridge in just seven days, amidst stormy weather. Also, in 2008 Typhoon “Frank” destroyed a modular steel bridge in Alimodian, Iloilo. After the storm, local residents banded together, sa lvaged bridge compo-nents, and put together a new bridge, without any special equipment. Pimentel pointed out that last year another powerful storm, “Sendong,” lanced upwards through the mind-

anao area, devastating Iligan, Cagayan de Oro, and his hometown of misamis Ori-ental. He suggested that due to climate change, weather patterns may have shifted and that mindanao, which until recently had hardly been hit by storms, may now be in the path of a new storm belt. “This is the kind of tech-nology that our countryside really needs,” he said. “Cli-mate change may just have rendered the old technology obsolescent.” Pimentel also suggested that the President’s Bridge Program or the Tulay ng Pan-gulo, the government’s only comprehensive countrywide bridging program be allowed to proceed but shorn of any taint of corruption. “If you take this away, what alternative do we offer millions of Filipinos in the countryside,” he asked. “Or are we telling them that we don’t care and that they just have to endure their hard-ships?”, Pimentel ended.

DAVAO CITY - ACT Davao region Union and ACT TeACHerS Partylist min-danao members will hold a vigil against the govern-ment’s announcement on performance-based bo-nus. 'Our mem-bers and supporters will be holding a nationally coordinated bell-ringing and candle-lighting ac-tivity today December 14, from 5pm to 7pm at the magallanes elementary School in magallanes street to show our opposition to PNoy's executive Order 80 or the Performance Based Bonus (PBB). This PBB is very mislead-ing as the PNoy Administra-tion has announced that a P35,000 bonus will be up for grabs for all government employees but the truth is it even actually cuts the P10,000 Performance en-hancement Incentive (PeI) to P5,000 only,' said Prof. mae Fe Ancheta-Templa, 3rd Nominee of ACT TeACH-erS Partylist. 'Teachers and other gov-ernment employees received P10,000 for the PeI in 2010 and 2011. Now we are only receiving half of that which is very unfortunate. PNoy has announced that we shouldn't worry because we have the P35,000 PBB anyway, but the truth is,

only the 'outstanding' em-ployees in the 'best' agency will receive that, and the tendency is that only high-ranking administrators will receive it. meaning, even if you are an 'outstanding' employee but you don't come from the 'best' agency, you won't receive the P35,000, moreover, even if you are from the 'best' agency but you are not an 'outstanding' employee, you won't receive it either, explained elenito escalante, ACT Davao re-gion Union President. what is worse, teachers are automatically disquali-fied from receiving the PBB in December, while other government agencies have a slim chance since they have year-end reports which are the bases for the evaluation of 'best' agency and 'out-standing' employee. Deped can only submit this on march of every year,” she added. 'This is just an eO which makes it easy to change, if the kuya PNoy is sincere that the people are his boss, and if indeed he knows the Spirit of Christmas which is generosity, he should give all government employees the same PeI as before or even bigger and stop the implementation of the PBB which only favors kuya's favorites,' concluded Prof. Templa, alluding to the famous reality show.

To my surprise, I found out that aside from Ang Pamantasan, a bigger newspaper, the Philippine Daily Inquirer, reported these COA findings much earlier in September 2012 and in July 2011. A related COA finding was also re-ported by Inquirer in August 2012. Then, a personal check with responsible officials of Plm would validate the COA findings.

Thursday, 480 were con-firmed dead and more than 700 are still missing in New Bataan alone.

“People are very emo-tional, they cry almost every day begging for food,” Fr. Nuling said.

“we had our first mass last Sunday and it was very emotional, I am telling my people that God is tell-ing us something with this calamity,” the priest said, adding that he too became emotional coping with the hardships of the people.

“Its very difficult for me, how much more for the people who lost their loved ones,” he said.

“we still need food and clothing. we appeal to you for water, medicine, cloth-ing, malong, tents, among others,” he appealed.

“People are hungry, many are resorting to loot-ing even their neighbors just to survive,” he added.

He said aside from cloth-ing and food, people also need to undergo stress de-briefing. (PN

Bancu...from page 7

The latin bancu later evolved into the Italian word banco, which also meant bench. The revitalized term referred to “the bench, desk, counter, shelf or table on which moneychangers in Italy conducted business during the middle Ages.”

According to Gregorio miranda’s “essentials of money, Credit and Bank-ing” and the encyclopedia Americana, “money chang-ers were needed at that time because of their skill in assessing the metal value of the several currencies churned out by all major lords across europe who all had the right to mint coins.”

by Indonesia to enter its territorial air space “for the purpose of search and rescue.”

“The prevailing wind and current is going downwards so the drift of the missing fishermen and the vessels is going southwest or towards the Indonesian seas,” he said.

As of noon Thursday, the task force reported that the number of missing fisher-men has increased to 343 as more missing “undocu-mented” fishermen were reported to the task force by their families and relatives.

It described the “un-documented” fishermen as those who ventured out into the seas without documents from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and operated unregistered fishing boats.

The rescuers have so far recovered 17 survivors and eight bodies, six of whom were still unidentified.

The report said most of the missing fishermen were crew members of 46 fishing vessels from the city that remained unaccounted since losing contact with their bases here at the height of the weather disturbance.

The missing fishing vessels were owned by lo-cal tuna fishing firms ru-gela Fishing, rAFI, DCG/PNOY, lPS Fishing, Salazar/Thidcor Fishing and rlG Fishing.

Three of the missing vessels were identified as m/BCA Starey, FBCA Jerlyn and the “undocumented” FBCA eagle 2.

most of the fishing boats went missing after being battered by huge waves and strong winds while on their way towards the mainland of Surigao del Sur last Dec. 3.

The PCG station here earlier said that most of the missing fishing vessels, which were maintaining “payao’s” or fish aggregating devices located around 115 nautical miles off the east-ern seaboard of mindanao, were already on their way to the nearest ports when the storm caught on them.

lincuna said the two Islander aircraft commis-sioned by the task force are presently assisting the search and rescue operations being conducted by vessels from the PCG, Philippine Navy/Bureau of Fisher-

ies and Aquatic resources (BFAr) and members of the Socsksargen Federa-tion of Fishing and Allied Industries Inc.

The official said the on-going rescue operations, which is now on its eighth day, is concentrated along the southern part of the east-ern seaboard of mindanao.

These moneychang-ers of medieval Italy soon ventured into lending and soliciting of deposits with interest. To attract custom-ers, historians said that the merchants heaped coins on the banco, which was usually covered by a green cloth and set up in a marketplace.

“A disgruntled customer, however, may overturn the banco; the term bankruptcy stemmed from this prac-tice,” the Bangko Sentral explained.

Interestingly, according to the BSP, even the Filipino word bangkó (with a stress on the second syllable) per-tains to a seat.

“remove the accent and the word refers to a finan-cial institution,” the BSP pointed out.

***In an effort to support

the ongoing relief opera-tions in areas devastated by Typhoon Pablo, the me-trobank Foundation, Inc. (mBFI) and GT Foundation have allocated a total of P5 million to address the im-mediate needs of victims of the recent calamity.

T h e d on at i on w a s coursed through the De-partment of Social welfare and Development; Federa-tion of Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (to be distributed through the affected local chapters in mindanao); Operation: Damayan of the Philippine Star; ABS-CBN Foundation; GmA kapuso Foundation; TV5 kapatid Foundation; and to the Philippine red Cross.

metrobank Foundation Chairman and GT Founda-tion Chairman emeritus, Dr. George S. k. Ty, said the donation “is the metrobank Group and our family’s way of showing solidarity with our fellow Filipinos who were badly affected by Pablo’s onslaught.”

For more than 30 years, the metrobank Foundation has been continuously giv-ing financial support to calamity victims—both lo-cally and internationally—as part of its humanitarian initiatives.

On the other hand, GT Foundation (the Ty family foundation), recently an-nounced an allocation for its Calamity Ascsistance Fund

in response to the continu-ing need for humanitarian assistance for victims of natural calamities.

result from it.Brig. Gen. Ariel Bernardo,

commander of the 10th Infantry Division, claimed that Danguil Capion was a “notorious bandit” allied with the New People’s Army and that his group fired upon the elements of the 27th IB that night, and that Juvy and their children were “collateral damage” during the firefight.

The witnesses described the incident as a cold-blooded mas-sacre and not an encounter. The members of the 27th IB came to Sitio Datal-Ayong in three Army vehicles after receiving a report that Danguil was in the area and immediately strafed the hut of the Capion family.

Quoting reports, Tinio said the massacre was such that the family could no longer recognize their loved ones, adding that the military allegedly dragged the remains outside the hut, left them on the ground, and did not allow the family to claim them which is a violation of the tribe’s tradition.

The community also reported that after the incident, the military did not allow B’laans to enter the village and threatened them not to report the incident to the media, Tinio said.

The estimated 30,000 B’laans living in the area are opposing the mining operations in their ancestral land. They were victims of harassment and vilification by soldiers and paramilitary units.

“This massacre is the latest in the spate of human rights violations against indigenous peoples who oppose large-scale operations by foreign-owned mining companies, which re-sult in the destruction of their ancestral lands, deprivation of their livelihood, and desecration of their culture,” Tinio said.

DePArTmeNT of Interior and local Government Sec-retary manuel A. roxas II announced on Thursday that Deputy Director General Alan Purisima will be the 18th chief of the Philippine National Police as he is tak-ing over the post of Director General Nicanor Bartolome next week.

“I’m happy to announce that there will be a formal turnover of leadership in the PNP next week, December 18, Tuesday,” roxas said in a press conference at the PNP headquarters in Quezon City.

“we are very pleased at this smooth turnover of responsibilities in the PNP as it ends 2012 and looks for-ward to 2013,” facing many challenges, most importantly in ensuring peaceful and orderly elections in may, roxas said.

The DIlG chief thanked Bartolome for the leadership distinction with honor and legacy that he will leave behind under his adminis-tration, including the policy capability with respect, disci-pline, transformative crosses

Dream come true

BUTUAN City––The Caraga (region 13) police has raised the ‘red alert’ status as the Communist Party of the Philippines – New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) prepare to celebrate their 43rd found-ing anniversary this year.

Police Director CSupt. Carmelo e. Valmoria is-sued orders to all police provincial and city police offices, municipal police stations and detachments, particularly those which are in remote places to be on alert.

Valmoria’s orders were also issued following reports reaching the regional head-quarters here that more or less 20 heavily armed men believed to be members of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) raided a municipal police station in roxas, Palawan which resulted in the killing of a policeman and wounding of another, 9:45 a.m. on wednesday.

“Such unfortunate inci-dent ought not to happen in

this region,” Valmoria said.The report said that the

rebels gained entry into

the police municipal sta-tion by posing as marine soldiers bringing a prisoner to be turned over, to catch off-guard unwary sentinels manning the police station.

The CPP is set to cel-ebrate its 43rd anniversary on December 26.

Along with the prepa-

rations for their anniver-sary, the guerrillas are said to be also exploiting the forthcoming elections and intensifying their so-called “permit-to- campaign” and “permit-to-win” schemes. They may also take ad-vantage of some political candidates.

CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao-- For decades, communist rebel Renante Dalon has been celebrat-ing Christmas in the mountains of North Cotabato and dreaming of having “noche buena” with his family, friends and parents.

Now, Dalon, 46, who was injured during military operations against the New People’s Army (NPA) in Magpet, North Cotabato two weeks ago, may celebrate Christmas with his loved ones.

he is now undergoing medical treatment at a military hospital here and enjoying a new lease in life.

Dalon was rescued by sol-diers after he was abandoned by fleeing comrades following a bloody encounter two weeks ago at the foot of the country’s highest peak, Mt. Apo, where the Army intensified its offensive against guerrillas.

“I was bloodied, wounded, hurt and I just stared at soldiers surrounding me as if waiting for them to finish me off,” Dalon told reporters from his hospital bed at Camp Siongco Station hospital inside the 6th Infantry Division headquarters.

“Instead they carried me to a safe place, gave me first aid and evacuated me to the Camp Siongco hospital using a helicopter...they treated me humanely. I never expected this,” Delon tearfully said in the vernacular.

Delon served as finance officer of about 200 rebels be-longing to the NPA’s Front 74.

Dalon could not control his

of moving the PNP increas-ingly into an organization and sensitive policing and also for statesmanship.

For his part, Bartolome said that he is happy for the turnover of the responsibility as chief of the PNP to Puri-sima, whom he described as well-rounded and very much prepared senior officer.

The DIlG secretary also expressed confidence in Purisima’s ability to lead the 148,000-strong PNP with his “strong foundation” in police service.

For his part, Purisima said that this is the new challenge for him to instill discipline in the police and to educate them, as well as con-tinue the programs started by Bartolome, particularly the Patrol Plan 2013.

“Actually, this is a new challenge for me and I would like to tell the PNP that we will continue the programs started by our PNP chief, particularly the PNP patrol plan 2030 which will be used to better serve the com-munity and protection of community with the PNP’s,” he said.

tears when 6th ID chief Maj. Gen. Ronnie Ordoyo and Philip-pine Army commanding general Lt. Gen. Emmanuel Bautista visited him.

The ranking officials offered Dalon a bagful of grocery items, clothing and other items that touched him so much.

Ordoyo told Gen. Bautista that Dalon sustained bullet wounds in his legs when elements of the Army Scout Rangers, 40th, 57th and Army Special Forces clashed with about 200 NPA guerillas in the mountains of Magpet.

Dalon admitted that rebels have been suffering from de-pleted financial resources and they resorted to forced taxation on civilians.

he was armed with an AK-4 Kalashnikov that ran out of am-munition when the soldiers found him. he was abandoned by his comrades when they saw him fell following a close combat battle.

he recalled that a comrade who fell with him, Commander Nikoy, died before the soldiers arrived.

Dalon said life in the moun-tains have been so difficult that they don’t have food and medicines during emergencies.

“We do not have medicine even for ordinary diseases like dysentery and body pain or stomach problem,” he said.

Dalon, a native of Magsaysay, Davao del Sur, joined the com-munist movement in 1993 after working in a paper company in Valenzuela. he returned to Min-danao and joined the movement.
