Davao City under its election watch list.

Speaking in yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps forum at the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) Conference Room, PRO 11 spokesperson Chief Inspector Andrea dela Cerna said Marilog and Paquibato Districts are under category 2 of the election watch list for the 2016 election.

Dela Cerna said category 1 are areas where politically mo-tivated violence incidents were reported in the past two elec-tions. These incidents do not include those in which domes-tic terror groups participated.

Category 2 are areas where there are serious armed threats and groups or reports regarding terrorist groups.

THE interdiction team headed by the Philip-pine Drug Enforcement

Agency (PDEA) 11 intercept-ed about 700 grams of shabu with an estimated total of P6 million in two incidents at the Francisco International Air-port last October and Novem-ber this year.

In yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps forum at the Davao City Police Office con-ference room, PDEA 11 re-gional director Adzhar Albani said the drugs were intercept-ed through intelligence moni-toring from the PDEA central office.

“We are alarmed because there are previous reports that

there are drugs passing by the airport,” he said.

Albani said the first inci-dent happened in the third week of October. A package with 500 grams of shabu came from Parañaque and was ad-dressed to an area in Davao Oriental. The consignee was arrested after the team in-spected the package, he added.

Albani said the second in-cident happened on the first week of November when the team intercepted another 200 grams of shabu from Iloilo City. It was addressed to a person in Matina, Davao City.

Albani said while the name of the consignee in Matina was fake, the team still managed to

arrest the suspect. He did not divulge the suspect’s identity since it is “confidential.”

Albani said he could not divulge the freight company used by the drug smugglers to avoid any negative impact to their business.

“The cases now are al-ready being filed in courts. We charged the consignees,” he said.

Albani said using courier services is the new “style” in delivering illegal drugs be-cause some airports in the country cannot detect illegal drugs.

Albani said in Mindanao, only the airports in Davao City and Zamboanga City have in-

teragency task groups formed to interdict drug smugglers.

“These airports were the first to have the team because of the international flights,” he said.

Albani said the interdic-tion teams have equipment such as scanners and sniffing dogs to detect illegal drugs.

He said the team is com-posed of PDEA, National Bu-reau of Investigation, Civil Aviation Authority of the Phil-ippines, and Aviation Security Group.

“This mechanism is one of the measures to prevent the spread of drugs to the mu-nicipalities and provinces,” he said.

THE Davao City Police Office (DCPO) reminded the public

not to be involved in selling firecrackers and pyrotechnics this Christmas season or else be charged for violating the firecracker ban ordinance of the city.

In an interview yesterday with EDGE Davao, DCPO spokesperson Chief Inspector Milgrace C. Driz said all police station commanders have

already been mandated to monitor their respective areas for the possible sneaking in of firecrackers in the city.

“Kay city ordinance man kini ato gyud ning pagasundon (Since it is a city ordinance we will follow it),” she said.

Driz said the police are now strengthening the monitoring in the barangays so that no one will get an opportunity to sneak in firecrackers.

She said the city police will not hesitate to arrest all violators of the ordinance since it has already been existing since 2001.

“We encourage the public not to sell, not to manufacture, and not to use firecrackers,” she said.

She said last year’s record shows the DCPO arrested 32 violators, 13 of them minors and 19 adults.

One of the violators

arrested on New Year’s Day was Eduardo Santander, who is a barangay kagawad in Mintal Proper.

Santander was caught by operatives of Tugbok Police Station about to fire a “Judas belt” inside his compound in Mintal.

No firecracker injuries or casualties and no incidents of indiscriminate firing were recorded in the city during the

LEYTE Rep. Martin Ro-mualdez on Wednesday expressed gratitude to

the openness of presiden-tial aspirant and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the possible alliance of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) and Lakas-Christian Muslim Dem-ocrats (CMD) in next year’s presidential elections.

“This is a welcome devel-opment and we are thankful to Mayor Duterte for his open-ness to seal an alliance with us,” said Romualdez, presi-dent of the Lakas-CMD.

Romualdez said the loom-ing alliance between his party and PDP-Laban will be for the betterment of the people aimed at espousing compas-sion to them.

“The looming alliance will be anchored on principles and platforms to further promote malasakit (compassion) and champion people’s interest. We are not after political con-venience,” Romualdez said.

On Tuesday, Duterte, who is the standard bearer of PDP-Laban, said they are just awaiting for Lakas-CMD or the party of former Presi-dent-turned Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to formalize its intention for the partnership in the May 2016 polls.

PDP-Laban President and Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III said he is open to the ar-rangement with the party of Arroyo.

“That is a welcome devel-opment. But I think they will stay with Lakas as their party. So it is just like forming an alli-ance for this particular (2016) election,” Pimentel said.

Lakas-CMD Deputy Sec-retary General Raul Lambino said majority of the party’s members have expressed their intention to support Duterte’s presidential bid.

Earlier, Duterte endorsed the senatorial bid of Romual-dez, citing the latter’s “mala-sakit” (compassion) to public service especially in his efforts to help Yolanda survivors recover from the tragedy, in-cluding those from the hard-est-hit Tacloban City, should be a major factor for the peo-ple to elect him to the Senate.

“Martin is my candidate to the Senate,” Duterte respond-ed to a query of Manila-based journalist, referring to Ro-mualdez, who is also a guest candidate of presidential as-pirant and Vice President Je-jomar “Jojo” Binay of the Unit-ed Nationalist Alliance (UNA), as one of the most qualified senatorial candidates.

In response, Romualdez assured Duterte of his com-mitment to champion good governance, fight against criminality, and graft and cor-ruption as compassion to Fil-ipinos who are frustrated of seeking genuine reforms.

SECURITY in Siargao Island has been tightened amid rumors the Abu Sayyaf

was planning to abduct tour-ists in this popular travel des-tination.

General Luna Mayor Jaime P. Rusillon said Monday the ru-mors have made the owners of some cozy resorts and tourists leave the island.

Rusillon said the 30th In-fantry Battalion has deployed some troops in the town to se-cure guests and owners of the high-end resorts.

He said they were not tak-ing chances because the ru-mors “might be possibly true”.

It was also learned that all police units in Siargao’s nine towns were placed on red alert.

PO3 Vic Concon, intelli-gence officer of General Luna Police Office told MindaNews on Monday that they remained on red alert status.

But Rusillon pointed out the town has remained peace-ful as ever.

“There is no reason tour-ists should hesitate to come in here. The fact that we are ready for the bad guys just in case…and we are tightening

our security to make sure ev-ery tourist is safe,” he said.

The mayor said the Abu Sayaff would have a hard time carrying out abductions in the island. “How could they get out of the island? The fact that their hotbed is very far from Siargao.”

Several resort owners said the rumors about the Abu Sayyaf frightened them.

Sandy Epituh, a resort owner in General Luna called on government to secure all tourist areas in the country. “Not just Siargao but all tourist areas in the country.”

Rusillon said he received a call about the rumors from Su-rigao del Norte Governor Sol F. Matugas, who got the informa-tion from Leticia Tan, regional tourism director.

He admitted that security in town was lax since it has never experienced any kidnap-ping incident.

Last November 17, the provincial government held a stakeholders meeting on secu-rity planning at Kapitolyo Nan Siargao, an extension provin-cial office in Siargao located in Dapa town. (Roel Catoto/Min-daNews)

OLD banknote series will no longer be ac-cepted for transaction

in business establishments like supermarkets and malls starting January 1 next year, the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said.

The BSP said the old banknote series will still be allowed to be used for daily transactions until December 31 this year.

Starting January 1, 2016, the old banknote series can no longer be used in daily trans-actions and can be only ex-changed in authorized agent banks and BSP cash depart-ment or any regional offices

or BSP branches.This is part of the demon-

etization program of the Phil-ippines’ central bank. Demon-etization refers to the process of the process of removing the monetary value of a legal ten-der currency by BSP.

The BSP will be demon-etizing old banknote series which was launched in 1985. It is consist of eight denomi-nations, namely P5, P10, P50, P200, P500 and the P1000 piso,

The old banknote series can be exchanged with new series in all universal banks, commercial banks, thrift banks including saving banks

and private development banks and rural banks super-vised by the central bank.

The old bills will be re-placed with the new gener-ated currencies (NGCs) ehich features the new BSP logo, and available in six denomina-tions, including 20-, 50-, 100-, 200-, 500-, and 1000- piso.

The central bank earlier announce that the complete facing out of old bank notes and will start circulating the new design series in the econ-omy by 2017.

“The start of the demone-tization is on January1, 2017. The old series of banknote will no longer have monetary

value. Only the new banknote series will remain as legal ten-der in the country,” BSP dep-uty governor for monetary stability sector Diwa C. Guini-gundo said in a briefing at the BSP-Davao in May.

Of the 2.8 billion pieces of combined old and new series circulating in the Philippine economy, only 540 to 560 million pieces of old series of banknotes are left and up for demonetization.

“We’re expecting that all old series of banknote will be retired before the end of 2016,” Guinigundo said.

“Among the reasons we demonetized the old

banknotes is because this is one way of safeguarding the integrity of the currency to protect it against counterfeit-ers,” he added.

The BSP official further said that there is a need to re-place the old bills with new de-signed banknotes because the new one are printed with sig-nificant events years after the launching of old bills in 1935.

“Our new generated cur-rencies (NGC) are printed not just with faces of past presi-dents but also with faces we consider our heroes. It is also printed with iconic natural wonders that are mostly rec-ognized by United Nations Ed-

ucational, Scientific and Cul-tural Organization (UNESCO) and species that can be only found here like tarsier and the Philippine Eagle,” Guinigundo said.

Guinigundo said the secu-rity thread is wider compared to the old banknote series

“The serial number is still composed of one of two prefix letters and six to seven digits which are increasing in size,” he said.

Meanwhile, he assured that even with the demon-etization of old series, there are enough pieces of new banknotes circulating in the economy.

SENATOR Loren Legarda announced that the bi-cameral conference com-

mittee approved today the pro-posed P3.002 trillion national budget for 2016 following the consolidation of the respec-tive versions of the Senate and House of Representatives.

The bicam report will be presented by Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, and Rep. Isidro Ung-ab, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, to their respective chambers during the Session today for ratification before the same is submitted to President Benig-no Aquino III for his signature.

“We are confident that the President will be able to sign the proposed 2016 national budget into law before Christ-mas. In a way, this is our gift to the people as we have in-troduced allocations and pro-visions that will benefit those who most need government support,” said Legarda.

Among the highlights of the budget is the strong sup-port for quality education with the increased allocation for the Department of Educa-tion (DepEd) to support the implementation of the K-12 program, particularly for the construction of classrooms and hiring of additional teach-ers. Total budget of Deped is Php411.905 Billion.

All state universities and colleges (SUCs) also received additional funding for the “Tu-longDunong” program, aca-demic buildings, provision of equipment and other needed facilities. Total budget of SUCs is Php47 Billion.

For the first time, the na-tional budget includes funding for the payment of the total administrative disability (TAD) pension for surviving spouses of deceased World War II vet-erans and partial payment for TAD pension for living post-war veterans who are at least 80 years of age as of 2016.

Meanwhile, under the De-partment of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) budget, apart from the Nation-al Greening Program, Congress is funding, for the first time, capacity building programs for the implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Man-agement Act, a long-time un-funded law.

Also included in the DENR budget is funding for the Na-tional Coral Restoration Pro-gram. Legarda said she intro-duced said funding because, as a maritime nation with 240 million hectares of marine area, the protection of marine ecosystems, primarily through massive coral restoration, should be a priority of govern-ment.

The bicam also approved general and special provisions introduced by Legarda in the 2016 national budget that would ensure the integration of disaster and climate resilience, environmental and heritage

conservation, and sustainabil-ity in the programs of various government agencies.

Critical public infrastruc-ture must be designed and built to be resilient to strong earthquakes, typhoons, flood and other extreme weather events. In retrofitting bridges and other public infrastruc-ture, the government shall give priority to areas considered to be highly vulnerable to seismic activity.

Special provisions under the budgets for the Depart-ment of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) state that the two agencies must ensure that evacuation cen-ters are built on safe sites and designed to withstand wind speed of three hundred (300) kilometers per hour and mod-erate seismic activity of at least 8.0 magnitude on the Richter scale; utilize natural ventila-

THE House of Represen-tatives is tapping the various district officers

of lawmakers to help in the in-formation dissemination cam-paign of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on the de-monetization schedule for old banknotes, which are being re-placed by the New Generation Currency (NGC).

House Deputy Secre-tary-General Atty. Grace N. An-dres said the district officers of House members can greatly help in the information dis-semination campaign because they have access even to con-stituents of lawmakers living in far-flung areas.

“The district officers of House members are the best persons to tap on this worthy endeavor since many constit-uents of lawmakers reside in far-flung areas and have no easy access to banks which are usually located in town or city proper,” said Andres.

Andres expressed hope that the various district offic-es of House members will be reaching all the areas of the country with the information dissemination campaign. “We

hope to do our best to help dis-seminate this information to our constituents,” said Andres.

She said many of these constituents in remote areas have kept their personal sav-ings at home since they have no access to banks. “Kawawa naman po sila, kung sila ay nag-ipon at mababale-wala lang ang inipon nila,” said An-dres.

Andres said the Office of Speaker Feliciano Belmon-te, Jr. urgently organized the briefing after Jay Amatong of the BSP Public Relations Office sought the help of the House of Representatives to help in the BSP information dissemina-tion campaign for the sched-uled demonetization of old banknotes.

“Considering that time is of the essence, and we believe that our district offices have an important role to play, we im-mediately setup the BSP brief-ing,” said Andres.

THREE years to the day later, it is no longer sto-ries of misery and hope-

lessness but a celebration of bountiful blessings and new beginnings for ‘Pablo’ survi-vors in Taragona, Davao Ori-ental.

On December 4, or three years past Tropical Storm Pab-lo (Bopha) hit the province, the municipality of Tarragona received massive aid from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Under the Modified Shelter Assistance Program (MSAP) of DSWD in partner-ship with the Provincial Local Government, 304 families in Cabagayan, Jovellar, Ma-ganda and Tubaon received permanent homes as an early Christmas gift.

These houses are part of the total 867 shelter units to be completed by the first quarter of 2016, said Director Priscilla N. Razon of DSWD.

“We really came here to see your smiles as you finally receive your housing units. These houses are typhoon-re-silient and we hope that you can finally enjoy the celebra-tion of Christmas and New Year with your families,” Direc-tor Razon heartily conveyed to recipients in Sitio Madian, Barangay Tubaon during the turnover.

Other assistance inau-gurated in Tarragona under DSWD Kalahi-CIDSS (Ka-pit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan -Comprehensive and Integrat-ed Delivery of Social Services) include a 260-meter road con-creting in Barangay Jovellar amounting to P 1,137,152.00, drainage canal in Barangay Central worth P 1,249,290.00

and an P 8,461,990-worth backhoe to expedite construc-tion works and clearing of roads during disasters.

“We have continuously supported our affected fam-ilies and attended to their needs. All of these develop-ments were made possible through the sustained support of the provincial and local gov-ernment units of Davao Orien-tal,” Director Razon said.

To date, a total of 18,447 MSAP units have already been completed in Davao Oriental, most of which are located in the hardest-hit towns of Ba-ganga, Cateel and Boston.

“Wala gyud mi gipabayaan sa DSWD. Wala man gyud mi naigo pag ayo sa Pablo pero gilupad sa Bagyong Ag-aton amoang balay. Daghang salamat sa pinaskohan sa DSWD(DSWD never aban-doned us. Our house was not heavily damaged by Typhoon Pablo but Typhoon Agaton blew our house away. Thanks much to the Christmas present of DSWD),” Nalita Macatubay of Tarragona said.

Governor Corazon Malanyaon lauded the sup-port and assistance of DSWD throughout the three years. “DSWD has poured so much support and never-ending as-sistance to the people of Davao Oriental.”

Tarragona Mayor Nestor L. Uy expressed his gratitude to DSWD. “We were not as devastated as Boston, Bagan-ga and Cateel yet DSWD has provided more than what we expected. Let us take care of the blessings that came from God who made DSWD the in-strument.” (DSWD/Florame B. Espada/ccd)

EMPLOYERS can now submit online sickness notifications of their em-

ployees to the Social Security System through the SSS Web-site (www.sss.gov.ph).

This web-based facility aims to prevent late filing of notification which reduces the amount of sickness benefit reimbursement claimed from the SSS.

SSS Officer-in-Charge of Medical Services Division Dr. Brenda P. Viola said the online facility is expected to help re-duce the number of cases of late filing by employers, who are required to notify the SSS of their workers’ illnesses within five days from receipt of their employees’ sickness notification form.

“Thousands of sickness notifications are belatedly be-ing filed by employers every year. With the online submis-sion of sickness notifications, we expect employers to be more prompt with notifying SSS of their employees’ illness-es, as the process now offers them more convenience and flexibility,” Viola said.

Sickness benefits are dai-ly cash allowances given to qualified SSS members with a minimum of four straight days of illness under the regular So-cial Security (SS) program. For employed members, sickness benefits are granted as long as the member’s company sick leaves in a given year have been fully consumed.

Both employers and em-

ployees must comply with the 10-day notification peri-od. Employees should notify their respective employers by submitting the prescribed CLD 9N form within five days from start of their home confine-ment, and employers should then notify the SSS manually or electronically within five days from receipt of the notifi-cation form.

“If the employee has in-formed the employer of the sickness on time, but the em-ployer was late in filing the sickness notification with the SSS, the said worker would be entitled to the full amount of sickness benefit from the employer. However, the em-ployer’s reimbursable amount from the SSS would be re-

duced as penalty for the late notification,” Viola said.

The employer must be a registered user of the SSS Website before it can access the online facility for the elec-tronic submission of sickness notifications. Submission of sickness notifications are done through the E-Services Menu of the SSS Website.

In submitting the on-line notification, employers should provide the member’s SS number, confinement start date, type of claim whether SS and EC, confinement location whether hospital or home, number of days of illness, and the physician’s license num-ber.

“That is actually the mini-mum. Please keep in mind that amongst all the other devel-opers, Megaworld is the only developer that has at least 130 tenants for office… The big-gest portion of leases comes from expansion, not from new ones,” he added.

Go noted that Megaworld’s six office towers in McKinley

West at Fort Bonifacio alone will have a total of 60,000 square meters of office space.

“The 30,000 square me-ters we’re going to top it off by end this year, then next 30,000 square meters second to third quarter next year… The bal-ance is between Iloilo, Cebu and other parts of Luzon,” he further said.

By end-2015, tycoon An-drew Tan-led property devel-oper’s total office spaces are expected to reach 712,000 square meters.

“We are very strong in terms of residential sales. So in order for us to balance our portfolio, you always have to have a healthy mix of one-time income and recurring. These should be balanced, either 60-40, 50-50 or whatever. The recurring income comes from office and retail,” Go reasoned.

He was confident that the 2016 presidential elections would have no effect on the real estate market.

This land is mined(First of Two Parts)

“If we never had mining in our lives, we would today remain

in the Stone Age, neighbors of Fred and Wilma Flintstone in the town called Bedrock. Imagine what that would mean.” -- Jose Bayani Baylon in a column which appeared in Pahayagang Ma-laya

IT happened in 2011 in the early morning of Good Fri-day in a small-scale min-

ing community called Kingk-ing in Pantukan, Compostela Valley. When a landslide, which was induced by heavy rains, occurred, eight people were killed and many were injured.

It was not the first time though. In 2009, a similar landslide struck the same barangay and nearby com-munity, leaving 21 people dead, including children. But despite these events, people still continue mining the area.

The reason: Kingking has one of the largest underdevel-oped copper-gold deposits in the world with a measured and indicated equivalent cop-per-gold resource of 791.5 metric tons, according to some news reports.

The Philippines is one of the world’s producers of metallic commodities. “The country was eyed as the mining country of the Pacific region by 2010,” said Dr. An-tonio M. Daño, of Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) of the Depart-ment of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

In a report released by the DENR’s Mining and Geo-Sci-ences Bureau (MGB) in 2012, the Philippines was ranked the fifth richest country in the world in terms of mineral re-sources. In terms of gold, the country ranks second and third in copper.

“When it comes to nickel, the country has the largest nickel reserves,” the MGB re-port claims. “This is the rea-son why, of the 35 metallic mines in the country, mostly

world,” he pointed out.All in all, the country has

an estimated $840 billion worth of untapped mineral wealth, according to MBG.

Mining: Legal Notes and Materials, published by the Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center, Inc. and Kasama sa Kalikasan , defines mining as “the process of ex-tracting minerals from the earth.”

“In Mining Engineering practice, mining is usually taken to mean the extraction of ores, coal or stone from the earth,” the book explains. “Ores are mineral deposits that can be worked at a prof-it under existing economic conditions. Stone includes industrial (usually non-me-tallic) minerals such as calcite (limestone), quartz and other similar products.”

Mining can be undertak-en from the surface or under-ground. “In surface mining, the rock-breakage-materials handling cycle is usually done first to remove (or strip) the overburden (expose the ore body), and then actual phys-ical extraction,” the book says.

Surface mining can be done either through mechan-ical extraction or the use of aqueous methods, which makes use of hydraulic action or solution attack. “The most common methods of surface (mechanical extraction) min-ing are open-pit, quarrying, open-cast and auger mining,” the book states.

Underground mining, on the other hand, can be under-taken through various meth-ods including room-and-pil-lar, stoping and caving. “Cav-ing methods are particularly distinct in that ‘caving,’ or the collapse of the ore body or the overlying rock is actu-ally induced and controlled during operations,” the book says.

Wikipedia defines stop-ing as “the process of ex-tracting the desired ore or other mineral from an under-ground mine, leaving behind an open space known as a stope.” Stoping is used when the country rock is sufficient-ly strong not to collapse into the stope, although in most cases artificial support is also provided.

Among the most com-mon mining method prac-ticed in the Philippines is open-pit because of relatively low cost. “Open-pit mining entails the removal of any overburden in order to ex-pose the mineral deposit,” the book says. “This operation is dependent on the type of overburden. In cases where the overburden consists of highly consolidated rock, blasting is used.”

Open-pit mining may cheaper when compared to other methods, but it is not environmentally-sound. “Open-pit mining clears the vegetation covering the de-posits, exposing the soil and permanently changing the

landscape and land use,” Dr. Daño reminded.

In Davao City, Mayor Ro-drigo R. Duterte is very much against mining. In the last 20 years, no mining company has dared to enter the city because the city govern-ment’s has banned mineral extraction.

During his Sunday TV program entitled “Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa,” earlier this year, the mayor told pro-spective mining companies: “I am putting you on notice. I don’t want you here.”

On May 5, the City Coun-cil enacted the mining ban. “No approval shall be granted or issued by the city through its Sangguniang Panglungsod to any person, natural or ju-ridical, to undertake any and all forms of mining operation in any area within the territo-rial jurisdiction of Davao City, except rocks and mineral substances classified under the quarry,” Section 5 of the Ordinance states.

Quarrying, which is a form of mining, is not in-cluded in the ban. It is the ex-traction of rocks, sand, gravel and other quarry resources. “We recognized the impor-tance of these construction materials and the operation of companies, like Holcim, provides labor opportunities to our fellow Dabawenyos,” said Danilo C. Dayanghirang, the city councilor who was the proponent of the draft or-dinance. (To be concluded)

In 2010, the Philippines became the third biggest pro-ducer of nickel ore, behind Russia and Indonesia, vault-ing over Australia and Cana-da.

On human rightsTHE issue of human rights has always been a thorny one for

Dabawenyos especially now that Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has formally joined the race for Malacañang. The mythos that is

wrapped around Davao City is that it has achieved its state of relative peace and order through the iron hand of Duterte, and that individual rights had been subverted and abused in the pursuit of this goal. More to the point, it is widely believed that criminals, particularly drug lords, have been killed by vigilantes belonging to the allegedly state-sponsored Davao Death Squad (DDS), a shadowy group that has been blamed for more than a thousand summary executions since the mid-1990s. It is “common knowledge,” so goes the narrative, that drug pushers are being killed by people working under direct orders of the mayor.

This is the accusation of such groups as Amnesty International (AI) and Human Rights Watch (HRW), two US-based groups that have taken it upon themselves to lecture the country on human rights. According to these two groups, Duterte should be investigated and prosecuted for being responsible for the deaths of countless people — some of them children — on mere suspicion that they are criminals. AI and HRW claim to have been monitoring Duterte for quite some time and have dug up real dirt on him, squarely blaming him for the summary executions and

raising the alarm that should he win the presidency, he would do the same on a national scale.

But accusing the mayor of human rights violations is one thing, proving it quite another. Indeed, in all the years AI and HRW have claimed to be watching Duterte closely, they have never presented concrete proof to back up their claims. In fact, AI’s Philippine chair Ritz Lee Santos III can only say the following: “There are no formal charges in court, but based on the records of the Commission on Human Rights, which we also monitor, there are allegations of human rights violations against him.” In other words, the group has no solid evidence and has to rely on other groups and agencies for its data.

And as Duterte himself has pointed, the CHR itself and the Department of Justice (DOJ) — both of which were once under his nemesis Leila de Lima — have never filed formal cases against him in court. “When she was the chair of the Human Rights she had been lambasting me saying that I am a human rights violator. When she was the DOJ she continued her attacks on me. But she did not file any case against me,” he said — giving credence to suspicion that the human rights card is being played only because the mayor is running for president. For if not, wouldn’t they have pursued the matter long ago?

WHAT makes a confident and upbeat business environ-ment? In essence, it is not a

milieu that makes business easy or re-laxing, but a clearer definition is that it creates an encouraging atmosphere for expanding business operations and a situation that allows the investing of more capital.

The recent survey of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reports that busi-ness confidence has grown, noting that businessmen are upbeat. The agency asked 1,514 firms, resulting in an over-all confidence index of 51.3% for the last quarter of the year, up from 41.4% a year ago, and 48.3% in 2013.

Of course, this is the result of a sur-vey, meaning, these are collected opin-ions and perspectives of business and industry players. In my book, a stron-ger indicator of business confidence is the increase in Foreign Direct Invest-ment (FDI), which covers both new money for new investments, and an in-crease in in lending to or capitalization of existing foreign owned business. An increase in business registrations is also a good indicator, and a spike in the demand for construction materials. All these point to new brick and mortar investments that create jobs. Increased

contribution of manufac-turing and agriculture to Gross Domes-tic Product also means that hard in-vestments in concrete sec-tors are pay-ing off and helping such businesses expand, especially in the lower income groups who will be em-ployed in these sectors.

Perhaps the biggest impact of pos-itive confidence figures is that it is meant to improve perception of our economy in the eyes of rating agencies, multinationals, and the stock market. As we hit the tail of the bear months, something has to push the PSE index upward to enable investors to recoup their recent losses. For now, the index continues to hover at just below the 7,000 mark, to the consternation of not a few stock investors looking for some returns as the yuletide enters. Institu-tions such as the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) have released their annual economic reports and forecasts,

all the more adding analysis and num-bers to either hopes or fears, or both.

At the same time, annual planning of businesses enters the advanced phase as companies prepare next year’s cap-ital outlays and related budgets. Re-ports are read and analyzed as the basis for future forecasts and eventual business decisions. Shall we expand or contract, venture or conserve? Can the local market continue to absorb what we can offer?

It is thus in government’s interest that business attitude remains upbeat. The global economy will remain vol-atile as the largest economies will not grow as fast and as well as they did, thereby diminishing their capacity to buy our own products or prompt the employment of our OFWs. More coun-tries we send workers to depend in one way or another on the bigger econo-mies. As these lower their own growth, opportunities for Filipino workers and products are also threatened.

It therefore is vital that our econo-my continue to strengthen on its own, as we consume our own products and demand, and provide for ourselves. For once, we all play a part in creat-ing the business environment, in the taxes we pay, in the decision to buy a

new house or car, or make household repairs, even in the Christmas gifts we buy, and when we buy local products or choose to patronize local business-es. How much money we put into our economy, or choose to save or reinvest, determines its health. As global mar-kets in Europe, China, and the US re-main volatile in the medium term, how we spend can make or break our own economy, as fresh capital needs to be unleashed and the productive capaci-ties of the people need to be harnessed to create new wealth to drive our own growth to make us attractive for global capital seeking better returns as their own home markets prove less able to deliver on their expectations. At the same time, there is an increasing glob-al population that on one end is young and growing, and in other countries, aging and declining. Hence, all the talk about inclusive growth is presupposed on the developing and emerging econ-omies being able to contribute to the global wealth tank.

In the end, business confidence is confidence in our economy. How bull-ish we are on our own economy will in-fluence how we continue growing, and how we keep the bears of the western decline and volatility at bay.

MY TWO CENTS’

FROM out of the blue – literally, you might say – the Mindanaoan Rodrigo Duterte emerged out of

the shadows to become the candidate to beat in the May 2016 polls.

The tough-talking Davao City mayor topped the recent SWS survey with a na-tion-wide following of 38%, followed by Grace Poe and VP Binay (tied at 21%), LP’s Mar Roxas, 15% and Miriam Santi-ago, 4%.

Critics and political analysts as usual dismiss the remarkable rise of Duter-te as just not extraordinary, saying the same thing happened to both Binay and Poe at the beginning when they expressed their desire to run for the presidency, then their respective ratings plummeted as political developments began to take real shape.

Unfortunately, for Duterte’s critics, they completely ignore, if not utterly fail to see, the connection between the his-torical past to the present state of politi-cal affairs and national governance.

They forget, for instance, the decades of neglect the national government has inflicted on Mindanao since the time the late president Ramon Magsaysay labeled the country’s second biggest is-

land as the “Land of Promise.”

T h e s e critics also forget that these de-cades of g o v e r n -ment ne-glect have resulted in the sorry disarray of disparate culture and polit-ical oneness of Mindanaoans who were struggling then to find a solution to eth-nic diversity so that they could blend themselves into one, united society.

For more than three scores, Mind-anaoans were wooed by politicians with excellent rhetoric and oratorical prow-ess, promising them all the stars and the planets, even heaven itself.

Perhaps, the long wait is over. I am not implying any messianic message here. I am just saying that Mindanaoans have finally awakened from a bad dream – a nightmare – and have grown weary of the political gobbledygook peddled by politicians embedded in imperial

Manila. Finally, he has arrived. Duterte is not promising heaven and

earth for the Filipino nation. By instituting constitutional reforms

through federalism, Duterte’s idea of genuine governance starts with a stable peace (law and order) so that everyone is safe to walk the streets anytime, day or night.

Duterte desires a drug-free Phil-ippines. Though a ‘probinsiyano’, he knows the ominous magnitude of the drug menace like the palm of his hand. Tons of money from the illegal drugs trade flow into the pockets of corrupt government authorities - local execu-tives, judges, policemen, law-enforce-ment agents, even barangay officials. The Philippines has become the favorite trans-shipment point of smuggled co-caine, shabu, commodities (rice, oil, on-ions, poultry, etc), guns and other mili-tary equipment. Unwittingly, the coun-try is fast becoming the next Columbia in the making. Justice is perverted in favor of the moneyed few.

Aber, what has “Daang Matuwid” to say about this?

Duterte hit the nail right on the head.

A stable peace, law and order will create a domino effect. Businessmen will come to invest. Singapore is the finest exam-ple. Inversely, would businessmen in-vest their money in Syria? When there is investment, employment and livelihood opportunities are generated. Tourism is ignited and the countryside begins to develop and prosper. Then Juan dela Cruz and his ilk will begin to smile. Wala nang istambay.

You cannot effectively rule a country of more than 100 million people who have empty stomach.

Simple logic lang di ba? Walang pam-bobola. Maraming kandidato puro emp-ty rhetoric. Motherhood statements. Puro pangako pero walang track record.

Can Duterte duplicate what he has done in Davao City making it the fourth safest city in the world?

Not yet. I will not categorically say yes now. He is not yet president of the country. But if you ask me if he has the balls to do it, I will say categorically that he has more than just the balls.

Either you hate him or like him. Take your pick: scourge or sage? (Email your feedback to fredlumba@yahoo.com). God bless the Philippines!

#EverythingYouLove This Christmas at the SM Store

AS the face of the SM Store for the past three years, Kris Aquino has come to know more about the store, the finds, and the shopping excite-ment it has been known for.

And with Christmas fast ap-proaching, the SM Store’s #Every-thingYouLove campaign has become more meaningful for her as she goes shopping for holiday fash-ion finds and Christmas gift ideas.

Although she has a rather busy schedule, Kris still finds time to get something special for her family and friends dur-ing her favorite time of the year. Known for her sense of style as well as her generous heart, Kris is surprisingly hands -on when selecting gifts.

“Every year my sisters, pamangkins, and staff in my show all love the SM GCs I give them,” she says. “Perfect daw because Christmas is extend-ed, and there is a lot of thrill in shopping with the GCs I give them.”

This Christmas, Kris is trying something different for special friends, whom her sisters “told me to send some of my home-made specialty dishes. My sis-ter Pinky is helping me create

the label, and my friend Chef Flo-rabel is checking SM for glass or ceramic containers for my adobo with foie gras and binagoongan.”

Yet, she takes time out to per-sonally pick special items for the favorite people in her life from The SM Store. Here’s what’s on her gift list.

The Body Shop’s White Musk Collection for Men for her favorite co-star. “We love Body Shop, so happy it’s now owned by SM.”

For Kris’ Fave chef: “The same heavy duty oven toaster we have at home, bought from SM Megamall - Black & Decker”

SM Gift Certificates for Kris’ fave make-up artist and fave inaanak.

Canvas Bathroom organizers that can be used both for the home and at work.

Body Shop’s White Musk collection in Smoky Rose and Libertine scents.

Bathroom organizers for the home for her dearest friend.

“Dearest Friend: For Boy, hangers (all types, wooden, satin, black plastic, for pants, for coats & blazers etc.)”

She said the final list will be divuled nex year after the Joint Coordination Confer-ence with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Commission on Elections (Comelec).

She said there are some areas in the city that are affect-ed by armed groups such as Toril and Calinan. “The agen-cies involved in the Joint Coor-dinating Team will determine next whether to include these areas under category 1 or 2,” she said.

“Siguro, magkaroon muna tayo ng justifications coming from the station commanders kung ano na ang level threat nila in terms of lawless armed groups (Maybe, we will have to come up with justification from the station commanders to identify their level of threat in terms of lawless armed groups ),” she said.

Driz said the initial data presented by PRO 11 yester-day came from the reports in the previous elections.

She assured the public that the DCPO is ready for the next year’s election.

Meanwhile, dela Cerna said Digos City in Davao del Sur has been initially placed in both categories 1 and 2 be-cause of previous reports of armed threats and serious po-litical rivalry during the 2013 election.

Dela Cerna said the munic-ipalities of Malita and Malalag in Davao del Sur are under cat-egory 1 while the municipali-ties of Bansalan, Sta. Cruz, Pa-dada, Hagonoy, and Kiblawan are under category 2.

For Davao Oriental, some barangays in Mati City and the municipalities of Lupon and Banay-Banay are placed under category 2.

For Compostela Valley, the municipalities of Maco, Mabini, Pantukan, Montevis-ta, Monkayo, and Laak are still under monitoring and are still to be categorized.

Dela Cerna said there are affected barangays in these municipalities in Compostela Valley but the monitoring is still in the process.

These are my commit-ments to him (Duterte) and Filipino people,” Romualdez, stressed.

He thanked Duterte for the statement of endorse-ment to his senatorial bid and for believing on his ability and leadership as senatorial can-

didate who can contribute for the betterment of the country.

“I am deeply humbled and honored for the support to us by Mayor Duterte,” Ro-mualdez, a former chairman of the House committee on ethics, said.

Malic said from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2016, the old banknote series can no longer be used for daily transactions and can only be exchanged in autho-rized agent banks and the BSP Cash Department or any of its Regional Offices or Branches.

Malic said starting Jan-uary 1, 2017, demonetized banknotes will no longer have monetary value. Only the new bank notes series will remain as legal tender in the country.

As explained by Malic, de-monetization is the process of removing the monetary value of a legal tender cur-rency by the issuing author-ity. A demonetized currency will no longer be accepted to pay for goods and services. The BSP demonetization of old banknote series is based

on Section 57 of Republic Act 7653, otherwise known as “The New Central Bank Act,” which provides for replace-ment of notes of any series or denomination which are more than five years old and coins which are more than 10 years old.

Malic explained the BSP old banknote series, intro-duced in 1935 or 30 years ago, is being replaced by the NGC series which was launched in 2010. She said some P67 bil-lion worth of these old series need to be exchanged for the NGC.

According to her, cen-tral banks demonetize their currency for the following reasons: prevention of coun-terfeiting; benchmarking with other countries; change in the type or form of govern-ment; change in the type of currencies used within the country as part of social or political reform; redefining the value of money caused by hyper-inflation; and reduction to only one design series for countries with two or more design series of notes in cir-culation for simplification. For persons living abroad, who have in their possession banknotes from the old series, which they cannot exchange within the prescribed period, may register online from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2016 through the BSP website www.bsp.gov.ph. They can exchange their banknotes with the BSP within one year from the date of reg-istration. (House of Represen-tatives)

We feel that any presidentiable will not rock the boat when it comes to this particular aspect of our economy,” he added.

However, Go said the com-pany was “cautiously optimis-tic” about the residential mar-

ket segment amid overseas developments.

“In residential we’re still studying the market trends. There are many factors –the devaluation of the yuan, im-pending interest rate hike in the United States. Of course what happened to Paris and what happened to Greece and the Middle East (lower) fuel prices… Twenty percent of our documented sales were gener-ated abroad,” he said. (PNA)

The DepEd and SUCs must integrate the following in their respective curricula: environ-mental protection and aware-ness, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and mitigation, indigenous knowl-edge systems pertaining to agriculture, environment and cultural heritage.

The DILG should embark on a massive information campaign for LGUs on the said issues; while the Department of Social Welfare and Develop-ment (DSWD), in the conduct of family development ses-sions among beneficiaries of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Program, shall integrate in its program the protection of the environment, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation and mitigation, including the preservation of the indigenous culture of their locality. The DSWD shall also conduct capacity building pro-grams to prepare its benefi-ciaries for the onset of natural hazards.

The Senator also intro-duced a provision under the

Metropolitan Manila Develop-ment Authority (MMDA) which tasks the agency to allocate funds “for road sharing activ-ities such as the promotion of non-motorized transport, con-struction of pedestrian-friendly facilities and conduct of pro-grams and projects that are geared towards improving peo-ple mobility.”

To strengthen promotion and preservation of Filipino heritage, funding is provided for cultural diplomacy programs of the Department of Foreign Af-fairs (DFA) and for the National Commission for Culture and the Arts’ (NCCA) three major pro-grams, namely: (1) Preserva-tion and promotion of Filipino heritage through research, doc-umentation, publication, exhi-bition and film production; (2) Scholarships and grants, such as funding for schools of living traditions; and, (3) Cultural and heritage mapping projects.

The budget also contains a special provision that prohibits the alteration, renovation or demolition of heritage build-ings and open spaces declared by government or presumed to be important cultural prop-erties, including the protection of the sight line with regard to built heritage, cultural prop-erties and cultural landscapes, without approval of cultural agencies and consultation with stakeholders.

In undertaking major in-frastructure projects, the con-cerned department or agency shall be responsible specifically in the planning, design, con-struction, and maintenance of national roads and bridges as they impact on heritage struc-tures or aspects of heritage conservation pursuant to RA 10066 or the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009.

tering performance in the 8th Singapore Para Games on Tuesday night.

Gawilan, who also broke the 400-meter free-style event on Monday, took off almost 10 seconds from the Games record in the 200-m IM with a clocking of 2:47.64 erasing the old standard of 2:56.41.

Toh Wei Soong of Singa-pore finished a distant sec-ond in 3:05.55 while Dang Van Cong of Vietnam would up third in 3:16.39.

“Maganda ang prepa-rasyon ko, sir. One year na training. Pinaghandaan tal-aga namin ito,” Gawilan told Edge Davao in an online in-terview from Singapore.

Gawilan, who has

booked a ticket to the 2016 Rio Paralympics by virtue of breaking the Paralympics standard in the 400-m free-style, brought his gold med-al harvest to two including one silver in the 100-meter freestyle event where he lost by a hair to Singapor-ean rival Toh Wei Soong.

Swimming on lane 7, Ernie swam side by side his chief rivals before tak-ing the lead at the 19-sec-ond mark of the butterfly leg. He stretched his lead to five meters at the end of the butterfly leg and broke away in the backstroke leg leaving the rest of the field gasping in awe. When he was done, Ernie was about 20 meters clear of Toh.

DAVAO City’s sports and wellness buffs continue to take part

in the weekly Laro’t Saya sa Parke Program of the City Government and the Phil-ippine Sports Commission (PSC) as it moves into the final three weekends of the year.

In the December 5 stag-ing at the People’s Park, 951 participated in zumba, 49 in rugby, 36 in futsal, 70 in bad-

minton, 45 in sepak takraw, 35 in arnis, 34 in taekwondo and 75 in volleyball. There were also 59 senior citizens who took part for a total of 1,354 participants.

For the December 6 stag-ing, 1,220 joined zumba, 50 in rugby, 44 in futsal, 68 in bad-minton, 48 in sepak takraw, 36 in arnis, 54 in taekwondo, and 80 in volleyball with 36 senior citizens for a total of 1,636 participants.THE Philippine Mav-

ericks completed a sweep of the Manila leg

of the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) Season 2 as they outlasted the Indian Aces, 25-24, on Tuesday night to the delight of the home crowd at the Mall of Asia Are-na.

The two teams split their first four sets to set the stage for a thrilling finale in the men’s singles where Milos

Raonic showed steely nerves in the shootout to frustrate crowd favorite Rafael Nadal.

“It’s amazing,” Raonic, a 2014 Wimbledon semifinal-ist, said. “As the home team, it was an honor to compete here.”

“Three wins at home is in-credible,” added legends play-er Mark Philippoussis, whose team dealt the Aces their first loss in three matches.

The Aces, though, kept the

leads in the standings as their hiked thier game win-loss re-cord to 106-89, slightly ahead of the Mavericks (131-113) with still a game on hand.

Philippoussis got the Mavericks off to a great start with a 6-4 win over Fabrice Santoro.

The Aces retaliated with a win in the men’s doubles where Nadal and Ivan Dodig beat Richard Gasquet and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, 6-4.

Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna then repulsed Sere-na Williams and Treat Huey, 6-4, in the mixed doubles as the Aces suddenly went on top.

But the Mavericks equal-ized anew after Williams over-powered Samantha Stosur, 6-3, in the women’s singles that left the outcome in the hands of Raonic and Nadal.

The five-city tour contin-ues in New Delhi on Thursday.

THE Golden State War-riors followed the script perfectly for three quar-

ters Tuesday night (Wednes-day, Manila time).

Then things got a bit more interesting.

The defending NBA cham-pions improved to 23-0, with Klay Thompson scoring a sea-son-high 39 points and Ste-phen Curry adding 29 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists in a 131-123 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Thompson scored 29 points in the first half, during which the Warriors went on a 22-0 run. Golden State led by 28 in the fourth quarter before the Pacers closed within six in the final 25 seconds.

The Warriors have won 27 straight dating to last season, tying the 2012-13 Heat for the second-longest streak in NBA history. The 1971-72 Lakers hold the record with 33 wins in a row.

Golden State also has won

13 straight road games this season, breaking a tie with the 1969-70 Knicks for the league’s best road start. The Warriors next play on Friday night in Boston.

Indiana was led by Paul George with 33 points and C.J. Miles with 24.

Golden State broke away in the first quarter with its big burst, extended the lead to 50-28 early in the second quarter and led by as much as 32 late in the third quarter.

But Indiana came back in the fourth, cutting the deficit to 129-123 with 24.8 seconds to go when George made a free throw after Draymond Green was called for a technical foul. That was as close as the Pacers could get.

Indiana tied a dubious franchise record in its NBA era by allowing 44 first-quarter points and barely avoided an-other record-breaking defen-sive low when it trailed 79-60 at the half.

The Pacers gave up 44 points in the opening quar-ter at Chicago in December 1990 and a franchise-worst 80 points in the first half at the Lakers in November 1978.

This time, it was largely because of Thompson who was 8 of 10 on 3-pointers in the first half. He finished 10 of 16 from beyond the arc, one short of the career high he had in January against Sacramento.

Curry, the reigning MVP and league’s top scorer, was 11 of 23 from the field and made three 3s. He’s now made at least one 3 in 87 consecutive road games, tying the league record set by Rashard Lewis from 2007-09.

COPYCATSWarriors interim coach

Luke Walton has noticed some not-so-subtle changes around the league this season. A lot of teams, including the Pac-ers, are trying to take a page out of the Warriors’ small-ball

playbook. Good luck. Before the game, Pacers coach Frank Vogel noted Indiana’s new up-tempo style was “light years” behind Golden State, and it showed.

TIP-INSWarriors: Golden State

has shot 45 percent or bet-ter 20 times this season. ... The Warriors have topped the 100-point mark in all 23 games this season, the first time they’ve done that since 1966-67. ... The Warriors are the first franchise in the four major pro sports leagues to have 16-game winning streaks in consecutive seasons.

Pacers: Indiana has lost three straight for the first time since starting the season 0-3. ... In the previous 16 games, the Pacers had limited opponents to 96.9 points and 32.8 percent shooting on 3s. ... George came up one point short of notching his 5,000th career point. ...
