Lawyer Renee Burdeos, DILG regional director in Northern Mindanao, de-scribed the insinuation as casting doubt on DILG’s integrity.

He said Ranny Spencer Palisco, of the DILG’s inves-tigation division in Manila, would not be around if the case was already a done deal.

In a text message, Bur-deos said Emano is facing charges with dereliction of duty and gross negligence. The case was in connection with Typhoon Sendong that lashed out Cagayan de Oro City late December last year, he added.

According to Burdeos, Palisco came to Cagayan de Oro City to hear personally the case on orders of Presi-dent Aquino.

It would be the first and last hearing of the case here since lawyers of both par-ties agreed to submit their respective memorandum within 30-day on whether the case should be dismissed.

The lack of authorized committee from the DILG to conduct the probe prompted Emano’s lawyers and sup-porters to doubt the possible outcome of the case.

Lawyer Francis Khu, Emano’s lead counsel, said

that a formal investigat-ing committee should have been formed to look into the case rather than acting on a ‘personal order’ from newly installed interior Sec. Mar Roxas.

The case stemmed from a complaint filed by for-mer City Health Officer Dr. Vincent Tero, Pastor Raul Ramon Roa, ex-councilors Celestino Ocio and Teod-ulfo Lao, and former Gusa barangay chairperson Enrico Salcedo.

In their complaint, Ema-no allegedly neglected warn-ings issued by the

THINK a minute.Winston Churchill was

65 years old when he first became England’s Prime Minister. It was May of 1940 and England’s mili-tary was not well armed or prepared for war.

So when Hitler’s huge, powerful German army was planning to attack the British Isles, most military experts expected Germany to easily defeat England in no time.

But these experts could not imagine that in only 7 months, Winston Churchill would change the history of England and the entire Western World.

During those 7 months, when the families of Great Britain gathered in their living rooms to listen to their leader over the ra-dio, their feelings of fear and hopelessness were

Bring out the best

soon replaced by great confidence, hope, and victory. Why? Churchill knew just how to get the English people to believe in themselves—in their own cause and abilities. And defeating Germany’s powerful army became England’s finest hour!

It’s been said: “Peo-ple who feel good about themselves do their best.” Whether it’s at work on the job, at home with their mate and children, or with friends.

So if you want people to change, you’ve got to help them believe in themselves so they will want to change and do their best. But when we criticize and shame our children, our wife or husband, or people we work with, we only hurt them and tear down their self-confidence.

So why should we ex-pect them to do better when we’ve made them believe they can’t!

We all do our best when we feel good about our-

selves. That’s why a suc-cessful businessman says: “Instead of catching people doing something wrong to criticize and punish them, try to catch people doing something right and praise them for it. Then they will want to keep doing that right thing and always do their best.”

This is why Jesus Christ commands us to love oth-ers as yourself.

Make others feel good about themselves the way you want to feel good about yourself.

So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for your past and for treating others wrongly? Then ask Him to start changing your heart, so you can not only become your best, but you will also bring out the best in others.

Just Think a Minute.

A CERTAIN Jacky Ching of Wishing Star filed a case against City Mayor Vicente Emano at Ombudsman Manila with violation of graft and corrupt practice law and for grave abuse of authority. The case was filed Monday morning with the anti-graft court in Manila.

Manila-based colleagues relayed the information Sunday evening. The complainant would then hold a luncheon press conference after the filing of the case Monday noon. Considering how the event was organized, it appeared that the complainant has close connections with media practitioners in Manila. After all, Jacky Ching is residing in Manila.

I could have written the story for Monday’s edition but the paper was already in bed at that time. Anyway, the case stemmed when the city government rescinded the lease contract made by and between Jacky Ching in Carmen market. The Wishing Star owned by Jacky Ching leased the entire second f loor of Carmen market.

My friend was asking if I am familiar with the case. I told him that what I have heard was that the city rescinded the contract with Jacky Ching for violation of some of its provisions. For instance, Jacky Ching made it appear that he was renting the entire second f loor of the public mar-ket. It turned out that another tenant was operating and renting the second f loor and that the tenant was paying rent to Jacky Ching at an exorbitant price.

Another instance was for Jacky Ching’s Wishing Star to desist from selling products like meat and vegetables in competition with products sold by market vendors at the ground f loor. However, it turned out that Jacky Ching’s tenant was selling products that violated the contract. Market vendors complained of the violation that prompted the city government to investigate and review the contract made with Jacky Ching.

It was during the review that the city government’s legal department discovered the violations. The city then charged Jacky Ching with breach of contract and subse-quently terminated the contract. Afterwards, a top official from the province called up Jacky Ching who reportedly asked details of the transaction. The provincial official then urged Jacky Ching to file a case against Emano. Could anybody tell us who this provincial official is? Huhum-mmm… Like an old song. What does one expect when election season comes? React: [email protected]

-ooo-PUNO’S SIDE ON RO-

BREDO CONDO RAID: In reaction to our column on Interior and Local Govern-ment Undersecretary Rico Puno, one reader of ours, who calls me by the name I have been called when I was a young boy from Ramos, Tarlac, “Butch”, sent to me the following “clarifications” on some issues surrounding Puno. Let’s read on:

“Butch, my two cents, if you please. I have been watching the news and hear-ing accounts from the radio about Puno. For one, the news accounts are slanted in such a way that doubt is cast upon the integrity of Puno. We have been in this business for so long that we can at least suspect that a

Puno’s side on issues hounding him

magic wand is beating the tune and cadence of these media attacks against Puno.

“For example, the news was headlined that Puno attempted to break into the condo of Secretary Jesse Robredo. But listening to the accounts of the police inspector and the other wit-nesses, it was apparent that Puno was acting on orders from Malacañang, and he did not force himself into the condo.

-ooo-MEDIA ATTACK VS.

PUNO MEANT TO OUST HIM: “A proper verbal re-quest was made by the police inspector and when it was denied, they just left. The

same thing happened when Puno came into the offices of Robredo for purposes of securing the files.

“He was with Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and the police narrated that they sealed all the files and cabinets and a crew was even recording the procedure in a video camera. Why wasn’t De Lima under suspicion also if she were with Puno? Would she be acting under the orders of Puno? That would be ridiculous, isn’t it?

So, what gives?“I see this as an orches-

trated media attack upon Puno. Somebody must want to remove him so badly? Why? Could it be that there

are sources of invisible in-come which could be tapped by whomsoever is appointed to Puno’s position? The only thing lacking is an organized media defense of Puno. Why he hasn’t taken that I am surprised.

IF the electorates of the First District of Cagayan de Oro are asked now on who would be the likely winner in their district in next year’s elections, they would eas-ily say Candy Darimbang. Why? It is because the lady still has a very potent politi-cal machinery despite her running as Independent in the 2010 polls. In the history of CDO politics, no independent candidate

The likely winners in next year’s polls?

has ever come-up close to Candy’s feat in terms of votes garnered, and a strong political machinery estab-lished that still functions up to the present.

And if the strongest political party in Cagayan de Oro dislodges Benjo Benaldo for his “waning popularity,” no other choice would be best but Candy?

Let’s examine the facts. Basing on the results of

the May 2010 elections, the vote-rich barangays of Cluster A ( Bulua, Kauswa-gan, Bonbon and Bayabas) gave independent Candy Darimbang the second high-est number of votes (8,078) as against Lakas Kampi Rainer Uy’s 7,812. PMP-Padayon Pilipino’s votes for Benaldo (10, 286) was only 2,000 votes away from Candy’s. (Cluster A has the second highest number of registered voters in the First District - 39,027.

In Cluster B (Carmen

and Balulang), which is Uy’s bailiwick, Candy garnered 8,293 votes with Uy topping at only 11,127 votes, and Benaldo/Padayon Pilipino getting only 9,380 votes or some 1,100 difference to Candy’s total votes. (Cluster B has the highest registered voting population at 43.560).

By RUTCHIE C. AGUHOB OROQUIETA City, Misamis Occidental––The Regional Development Council of Region 10 (RDC-X) has endorsed the project “En-abling the Cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to Cope with Climate Change,” for possible funding under the United Nation Development Program (UNDP).

Also called “Project Cli-mate Twin Phoenix,” the project was conceptualized in the aftermath of the huge devastation brought about by Tropical Storm Send-ong which hit Region 10, particularly the cities of Cagayan de Oro (CDO) and Iligan on December 16-17, 2011.

The project aims to as-sess the disaster vulnerabili-ties of the two cities and the municipalities surrounding the Cagayan de Oro and Mandulog River basins in the region, Engr. Leon M. Dacanay, Jr., Regional Director of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), and Chaiperson of the Regional Land Use Committee of region 10 (RLUC-X).

He said the project, spe-cifically seeks to assess the geological, meteorological, and meteorologically- in-duced hazards due to climate

RDC-10 endorses ‘Project Climate Twin Phoenix’change, the results of which will provide the basis for priority mitigation actions like community-based/man-aged early warning systems and integrated contingency planning and mobilization.

Meanwhile, Dacanay said the project will support the development of climate resilient livelihoods and risk sharing/transfer models, as well as organize knowledge on climate/disaster risk management for vulnerable communities.

Recognizing the impor-tance of the project as it focuses in rehabilitating the negative impacts of TS Sendong, particularly to the cities of CDO and Iligan, and the municipali-ties around CDO River and Mandulog River Basins, RLUC-X passed resolution No. 1, series of 2012.

The said resolution is entitled “Endorsing the Project ‘Enabling the Cit-ies of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to Cope with Climate Change’ or ‘Project Climate Twin Phoenix,’ to Appropri-ate Funding Institution.”

The RLUC-X, therefore sought the confirmation of RDC-X support and subse-quent endorsement of said project to ensure its effective and efficient implementa-tion, Dacanay added. (RCA/PIA10-Misamis Occidental)

SURIGAO del Sur - The Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), chaired by Gov. Johnny Pimentel, is investigating the burning of several bridge construction equipment in San Miguel town, September 4.

For this purpose, a fact-finding committee has been created, composed of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the Philippine National Police, the Philippine Army, the Department of Public Works and the Philippine Information Agency.

It can be recalled that in the night of Sept 4, this year, 100 fully-armed men in camouflage military uniform, torched a crane, a welding machine, a power generator, a concrete vibrator; a back hoe; a pay loader; a boom truck; two dump trucks and a chainsaw.

Police investigators placed the damage cost to some P20 million. Said equipment belonged to the Concepcion Basic Builders Inc (CBBI), repairing the only bridge linking the interior town of San Miguel to the rest of Caraga Region.

Initial investigation revealed that in February this year, unidentified individuals demanded a 3-percent share of the total project cost, but CBBI ignored it.

The company did not report the extortion attempt to the police. (NGBT/PIA Surigao del Sur/asf)

PAGADIAN CITY – Thou-sands of concerned parents of students who are at presently studying at the Mindanao State University in the Zamboanga Sibugay town of Buug appealed to the Board of Regents to re-tain its incumbent Chancellor Dr Taha Sarip. Faculty members and ad-ministrative employees and other constituents led by the President of Parent Teachers Community Assembly, includ-ing civic organizations and some political leaders also appealed for Sarip’s retention, saying, his excellent leader-ship and programs for the MSU-Buug will benefit the students and the university as a whole. PTCA President lawyer Ferdinand Pablo emphasized their full support for the re-tention of Sarip because of his excellent performance as a Chancellor and his academic program that promotes qual-ity education among students and faculty members. He said the performance of MSU-Buug graduates in various licensure examina-tions and other awards have given the university a new burnished image. Notably, with the per-sistence and backing of its constituents, in a short time - 3 years after his assumption - Sarip have revitalized by the modification of the MSU-Buug structure, which assigned the supervision of the unit to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and brought closer the programs of the university in line with its mandate to the people of Zamboanga Peninsula, a re-gion in Mindanao inhabited by the indigenous, Subanons,

Visayan settlers and other Bangsamoro tribes. Sarip also initiated the establishment of the Institute of Peace and Development to help and support the peace talks between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. The institution has the manpower resources to help the government on the peace process though dialogues, conferences, seminars and workshop to give updated information to the progress of the negotiations. In one occasion, MSU Sys-tem President Dr. Macapado Muslim in his speech cited the efforts of Sarip who worked hard to make MSU-Buug as one of the model institutions in Mindanao on peace and development program. As determined leader supported by the employees, parents, and local government officials and community lead-ers in Zamboanga Peninsula, Pablo said it is a fact that the institute have been moving forward, guided by the aspi-rations of everybody to have an educational institutions of higher learning that would address the problem to ensure quality education through academic excellence enhanc-ing peace and development in the region. When Sarip was appointed as Director of MSU-Buug on August 3, 2006, it served as a great challenge in his career considering that the institu-tion during that time was stagnant and for a long time had lingered on becoming an autonomous campus to keep the ember of public burn-ing, but the performance of the institution through his perseverance slowly moved on and has became what it is

now. But despite physical and financial difficulties, MSU-Buug remains true to its vi-sion of becoming a remark-able medium for sustainable growth and development. And this can be realized through effective transfer of knowl-edge and technology through academic excellence and good governance and through the leadership and competence of Sarip, the groups said. They said good gover-nance is possible through the availability of infrastructure, improved fiscal management and well-guided administra-tion of the campus. Sarip also has developed a scheme called “2017 Initiative,” where specific plans and programs are laid down to solve various problems and further forge ties and work closely with local, national and international agencies for scholarships, projects, books donations, facilities and equipment and other beneficial programs for the campus. Sarip’s major concern is to provide the educational needs of the people in the area, especially the less privilege so that they will become assets to nation-building instead of be-ing stagnant and impediments to the process of development, Pablo said. Sarip, a known peace ad-vocate in Lanao del Sur prov-ince, is a prominent Muslim leader who has been largely praised for his hard work and commitment to providing excellent education in one of the country’s top schools. He finished his Master in Peace and Development at Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City. He served in vari-ous positions and functions from being an executive di-rector to associate professor in Peace Education Studies and Islamic Studies at the MSU main campus in Marawi City.

Groups appeal for retention of MSU-Buug Chancellor

Acknowledging that the organic agriculture sector in the Philippines is still in its infancy stage, DA-10 through AMAD, headed by OIC Chief Honey Gladys S. Valledor (right), conducted a Consumers’ Awareness Seminar to increase the farm advocates’ knowledge on Organic Agriculture that will contribute to better farm incomes and sustainable livelihood, improved health, environmental protection, disaster risk reduction and resilience to climate change and social justice.

CAGAYAN de Oro City – Farm advocates from the public and private sector alike convened in a recent Consumers’ Awareness Semi-nar on Organic Agriculture, recently spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture - Regional Field Office 10 (DA-10) through the Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD), this city. Republic Act No. 10068 or the Organic Agriculture Act of 2010, principally au-thored by current Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala, mandates the Department of Agriculture to spear-head industry stakeholders to intensify the develop-ment of organic agriculture in the Philippines towards a competitive and sustainable organic industry. Recognizing that the or-ganic agriculture sector is still in its formative stage, the assembly tackled on the updates of RA 10068 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations; Organic Reg-istration; Organic Vegetable Production and Home Gar-dening; and Health and Well-ness. Much focus, however, was given on Organic Product Certification. Reynaldo Gil G. Lomarda, president/Organic Inspector of Green Minds, Inc. bared

that focus varying from its supply, prices, choices and safety back in the 1930s to the 1990s, he added, that the latter’s preference have settled on food guarantee at the turn of the millennium up until the present. To satisfy such disparity, he explained the significance of undergoing a certifica-tion. According to him, it is a written assurance that a product, process or service is compliant with standards. In the case of organic products, he added it is the primary acknowledgment that such products have been produced in adherence to applicable organic production stan-dards, thereby fulfilling the consumers’ needs of today. As Green Minds, Inc. is a member of the Organ-ic Certification Center of the Philippines, one of the only two organic certifiers throughout the country, Mr. Lomarda clarified that their organization in itself cannot certify, but instead they can help farmers easen the process in complying the demands set by a certifying body. With the certification at hand, he enlightened that labels and certification marks (for third party certification) would allow an easy recog-nition of organic products,

Organic Certification on agri-products pushed

whereby they don’t only as-sure high quality, but they can also command a better price in the market. In terms of fees, Lomarda disclosed that organic certi-fication which covers farm-processing-trading will have a validity period of one (1) year, wherein its minimum cost would fall within the range from P 27,000 – 32,000. Breakdown of the ex-penses are as follows: P 2,000 – application fee, P 5,000 per day (may differ) – inspection fee, and P 20,000 (for indi-vidual farms) and P 25,000 (for group) – certification

fee. Incentive Subsidy for Organic Advocates As there are no certifying bodies in the government, DA deemed to encourage more farmers/producers/processors to comply with the standards for organic agriculture through the grant-ing of subsidies for organic certification as contained in RA 10068. In which, subsidy shall be granted only to or-ganic farm producers whose products are intended for the local market. For export market, subsidy shall be given only to micro, small and me-

dium enterprises, indigenous people and agrarian reform beneficiaries. If and when, the grant will be awarded to an ap-plicant, the subsidy’s scope of incentive shall include the shouldering of application and processing fees, travel-ling expenses and per diems of inspectors and laboratory costs. DA’s granting of subsidy may be availed of for three (3) times, subject to annual renewal of application. Inter-ested parties should submit a letter of intent (specifying the preferred certifying body),

farm/establishment/organi-zation profile, computation of the total certification fees, copy of contract with the certifying body and a copy of the pre-assessment report.

Other resource persons during the event include Ms. Honey Gladys S. Valledor, OIC Chief AMAD; Ms. Remina B. Occeña, Regional Organic Agriculture Focal Person and Chief of the Regional Soils and Testing Laboratory (RSTL); Ms. Hyacinth F. Fuentes, Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards Focal Per-son, AMAD; and Mr. Bethoven B. Delos Reyes, Agriculturist, RSTL. (Joanne L. Olson, DA-10)

By BEN D. ARCHE DAVAO City––A code of practice (COP) that would regulate the Pummelo (Pom-elo) industry in Region XI is now being draft ed by the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) for the Davao Pomelo Industry Council (DPIC).

Th e code will standardize the practice employed in the processing and packaging to ensure the quality of the product.

Marie Lou Gabiana, IP Field Operations Unit spe-cialist said the code will serve as the guidelines for all the activities of the pummelo growers in region.

Gabiana added the COP will be completed early month and to be reviewed by the pummelo growers on Sept. 14.

“Th e growers will provide inputs in the processing that would be incorporated to the COP,” Gabina said.

On Oct. 1, she said, rep-resentatives from BPI-11 and stakeholders will convene for the presentation of the code.

At least three pummelo or pomelo producers in the region like the Nenita Pe-trade, Vic Farm and Davao Golden Pomelo have applied for GI quality seal to make their products distinct from the products coming from other places.

Th ese big three growers have initiated the formation of the Davao Pomelo Indus-try Council in Region 11.

Emano’s apparent negli-gence allegedly resulted to deaths and destruction of properties, the complaint said.

On one hand, Emano suspects that the charges filed against him are a ploy to undermine his reelection bid in the forthcoming 2013 midterm elections.

In a statement, the mayor said: “BISAG wala ako’y mga sala o’ kasaypanan nga nabuhat, niining pa-glutos kanako, bisan unsa nga matang sa depensa nga akong paga-buhaton, dili lamang ang pag-suspenso ang tuyo niini kanako.”

He added: “Hinumdu-man nga sa tibuok nasud, ako lamang ang gilakag karon. Desperado og ka-balaka (panic) ang ilang gipatuman niining ilang gibuhat karon.”

“Ako nagato-o nga pinaluyohan sa DILG, ang tinu-od nga tumong mao nga makapakita nga sad-an, ma-konbikto ug mapunggan (ma-disqualify) pagdagan pagka-Mayor ug mao kana ang hinungdan sa mga kaso nga gipasaka batok kanako,” Emano lamented.

and Pigsaan) saw Candy Darimbang, won with 4,396 votes over Uy’s 3,853.

In Cluster C (Iponan, Baikingon, San Simon, Pa-tag, Canitoan, Pagatpat) Darimbang’s showing was manificent ( trailing Pa-dayon Pilipino bet with only a little over a thousand

vote difference from the two parties.

An independent candi-date couldn’t be considered strong if he or she loses in several barangays against bets of reigning politi-cal parties. But on Candy Darimbang’s case, consider this: she had 10 barangays in her favor as against Be-naldo’s 14 (a difference of 3 barangays only) and 11 barangays as against Uy’s 13, or a difference of only 2 barangays.

Think of the huge chanc-es that any of the major political parties could have if Candy Darimbang’s po-litical machinery is added to its own. The Padayon Pilipino and Darimbang tandem would become a very powerful political force to reckon with.

Now if any Political Party gets Candy as its official bet for Congress, the chances of victory could be very overwhelming. Think of Candy’s huge machinery still in place, complement-ing the strong organizations of either Emano’s Padayon Pilipino or Moreno’s LP. Getting Candy as official candidate would be most beneficial to either of the two.

On the issue of “waning popularity,” the OPPOSI-TION said that Rep. Jose Benjamin Benaldo of the city’s 1st District has disap-pointed his constituents and his own party-mates because of his lavish lifestyle which is an “immoral” display of indifference to the pov-erty of the people around him. City Councilor Edgar Cabanlas opined that “Benaldo has lost ground support, and is out control as far as his political career is concerned.” He added that Benaldo’s spendings and display of wealth were insulting.

Political pundits see Candy Darimbang as a likely successor of Bena-ldo as the representative of the 1st District, if given the chance by big political parties.

A likely winner is a can-didate who knows how to connect to the people. Its not money or fame but how he or she projects himself or herself to the people.

Benaldo’s claim that his

list of projects and finan-cial capability would make him win a reelection in 2013 could backfire. He becomes one of those “mon-eyed politicians” who feel they are above the people. Extravagant leaders are anathema to poor and lowly voters. (allan m. mediante/[email protected])

told the media after the budget hearing.

In an effort to trace the people behind the irregular-ity, Hataman has asked the Senate blue ribbon commit-tee, headed by Mindanao Senator Teofisto Guingona III, and Drilon’s finance committee to investigate the missing P1.6 billion in GSIS, PhilHealth and Pagibig premiums.

”Upon the suggestion of Gov. Hataman, the blue rib-bon committee and finance committee will conduct an investigation on where funds went because right thou-sands of teachers could not avail of the benefits in the GSIS because the premiums were collected per record but there is no record of remittances,” Drilon said.

GENERAL Santos City––An estimated P7.14 mil-lion worth of properties were devastated due to the flashfloods that ravaged two villages of Malungon town in Sarangani over the weekend.

Capt. William Rodriguez, information officer of the Army’s 1002nd Infantry Brigade, said Monday a total of 66 houses in Barangays Malandag and Datal Tampal were destroyed while 74 others sustained partial damages after rushing floodwaters from the critical Tinagakan-Buayan River swept the area late Saturday afternoon.

The flashfloods, which affected five riverside communities in the two villages, came after several hours of heavy rains that caused the Tinagakan-Buayan River to overflow.

Citing a report from the Malungon Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC), Rodriguez said some 432 families or 1,546 individu-als were directly affected by the floods.

But he said only 26 families, whose houses were washed away during the floods, have remained at the Malandag gymnasium evacuation center.

Rodriguez said the MDRRMC, which is being assisted by their unit, is still assessing the dam-ages wrought by the floods to “(agricultural) crops, vehicles and public infrastructure.”

Malungon Mayor Reynaldo Constantino reiter-ated that there was no casualty during calamity and lauded the prompt assistance given by govern-ment and non-government agencies to the affected residents.

Pido said police investi-gation showed that one of the grenades landed near the mayor’s house while the two others fell near the house of Nor Kalon, the house helper.

According to Pido, the family believed that the strafing and grenade attack was politically motivated.

It was the second time, since last year, that mayor Ampatuan’s house was sub-jected to harassment. The mayor was among those charged in the brutal Magu-indanao “chainsaw massa-cre” where scores were killed including 30 journalists. -0-
