Solon wants 10-year fixed term for barangay officials

By JAZMIN S. CAMERO, MRS-PRIB

By CRIS DIAZ, Associate Editor

Rep. Pedro Romualdo (Lone District, Camiguin) filed House Bill 5724, which provides that barangay of-ficials will get a five-year fixed stint for two consecu-tive terms.

“The two consecutive terms equivalent to 10 years would be sufficient enough for sitting barangay officials to perform their sworn du-ties and functions,” Ro-mualdo said.

If the bill is enacted into

THE HOUSE of Representatives recently adopted a resolution directing the com-mittee on government enterprises and privatization to investigate alleged losses of the government-own Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP).

List Rep. Maximo Rodri-guez, Jr. cited a report re-leased by the Commission on Audit (COA) about LBP’s losing almost half a billion pesos in loans to coopera-tives and countryside finan-cial institutions in 2010;

In 2010, LBP launched an aggressive lending drive in 2010, reporting over

children, in Sitio Bahing Barangay Tininghalang, Lapuyan town.

At least 10 members of a crime group, led by brothers Ami and Pahad Andi, went on a shooting rampage in Barangay Lower Tiningha-

Nine others were injured in the incident. Andi broth-ers are blaming residents of the village for the opera-tion that led to the death

Lycopene in reducing prostate cancer risk

ONE of the most popular home garden vegetables is the tomato.

The tomato is easy to grow. When grown as a stalked plant, it requires a relatively small amount of space, yet is capable of producing a lot of fruits per plant.

It is a fact that the to-mato is high in nutrients. It is packed with vitamin C, potassium, fiber and vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A.

The tomato is a rich source of lycopene, a ca-rotenoid that is a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been the subject of many current promising research-es on plant chemicals that promote health.

It is a carotenoid respon-sible for the red color in tomatoes and other fruits like watermelon and grape fruit.

C arotenoids , a long with phenolic acids and flavonoids, are all phyto-chemicals, the nutritionally beneficial active compounds found in fruits and veg-etables.

Polyphenols, one of the potentially beneficial anti-cancer compounds, is also found in tomato products, predominantly in the skin and seeds.

A variety of epidemio-logical studies by Giovan-nucci in 2002; Mill in 1989 and Wu in 2004 have sug-gested that dietary factors may decrease the risk of prostate cancer.

Increased consumption of tomatoes, carotenoids, Vitamin C, selenium, cru-ciferous vegetables, poly-phenols, soy, fish, green tea or vitamin D may all be linked to a decreased risk of prostate cancer.

Their studies further show that an increased consumption of fruits and

MALAYBALAY City––Bukidnon Governor Alex Calingasan ordered the released of P53,180,034.14 to 20 municipalities and two cities to finance the priority projects of the local governments.

Calingasan ordered the release of the fundings so the respective local gov-ernment units can help the province extend its services to vast number of people.

ASSISTANCE TO SENDONG VICTIMS. Rep. Rufus Rodriguez together with OCD Ex-ecutive Officer Ronald Flores and Reg. Director Anna Cañeda hand over financial assistance of P30,000 on Feb. 10, 2012 in the Office of Civil Defense to Dennis Delos Reyes who was among those Sendong-Victims whose loved ones namely Mila (wife), Alexander (Son) and Denie Gweneth (daughter) died during the said tragedy. P1.4 million was given to the surviving families of 140 persons who died. Financial assistance to other victims were also extended end of February.

Ardo, then chief of the military’s 103rd Infantry Brigade, was misquoted by some media outlets as saying that Yusoph’s son was kidnapped because the suspects wanted to get back at the poll official.

Ardo apologized person-ally to Yusoph while the poll official along with Comelec chair Sixto Brillantes were in Cotabato City for the ARMM election reform summit organized by civil society organizations.

Army brass regrets on ‘stinger’ report Army Gen. blames media outlets

for misquoting him in their news reportsCAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao––Army Major General Rey Ardo, commander of the 6th Infantry “Kampilan” Division, has personally apologized to Commission on Elections Commissioner Elias Yusoph for a story that came out on line in 2010 after the poll official’s son was kidnapped.

between Ardo and Yusoph’s family started after the abduction, following the 2010 synchronized local and senatorial elections, inside a mosque in Marawi City of Yusoph’s son by gunmen and, subsequently, held him captive for several weeks somewhere in the first district of Lanao del Sur.

Ardo was reported by certain media outfits as having said that the kidnap-ping was aimed at forcing Yusoph to return the money he received from defeated

candidates for local elective positions for his failure to extend favors that would have given them leverage against their rivals.

Ardo said it was a “sad, unfortunate development.”

The 6th ID chief said he never mentioned such to any media person covering the kidnapping of the poll official’s son.

“I have asked from Com-missioner Yusoph an apol-ogy for whatever inconve-nience those unfortunate reports may have caused him, both as a private in-dividual and as a public official,” Ardo told reporters.

The 6th ID provided security details for Yusoph and Brilliantes while they are in Cotabato City for their speaking engagements. Wire report

Bukidnon gov’t releases fundings to 20 towns, 2 cities

By DAHLIA BENEMERITO, Bukidnon News Bureau

Assistant Provincial En-gineer Albert D. Yulo, the team leader of the Provincial Monitoring Inspectorate Team, said the financial assistance came from the 20 percent development fund of the province last year.

Yulo explained that the financial assistance to the barangays, municipalities, and cities were not of the same amount because the released of the fundings were based on the submit-

ted priority projects of the concern local government units.

The provincial govern-ment has earlier required every local government unit to submit require-ments for the year 2012 which the budget comes from the 20 percent de-velopment fund.

Calingasan has pro-posed a budget of P249, 852,360 which will come from the 20 percent de-velopment fund for the purpose.

KIDAPAWAN City––Rela-tives of the slain Italian priest doing missionary work in the hinterlands of North Cotabato were elated after learning mur-der charges were f i led against suspects in the killing of their kin, said one of the members of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Mission (PIME).

Father Peter Geremiah, PIME, said the relatives and immediate family of s lain Father Fausto Tentor io, PIME, were among those given the information about the filing of murder charges last week against Jimmy Ato, his brother Roberto, Jose Sampulna, and Dima Sampulna.

Tentorio’s family and relatives live in Italy.

Kin of murdered Italian priestglad over charges vs. suspects

The slain Father Faus-to Tentorio belonged to PIME, one of the reli-gious congregations do-ing missionary work in most dif f icult areas in the Philippines.

Geremiah, a par ish priest based in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat, said the filing of the charges have long been expected by Tentorio’s family, includ-ing their congregation.

“Even the Italian am-bassador to the Philip-pines has waited for it. He’s been asking updates about the killing,” said Geremiah.

The priest, however, has sought explanations from the Special Investi-gation Task Group Fausto as to why names of those believed to be master-

minds in the killing were not included in the charge sheet.

T h e s e l f - c on fe s s e d triggerman Ato, in his affidavit, identified a de-feated mayoral candidate in Arakan town and a police officer as among those that masterminded the killing.

“But their names were not included in the list. The NBI agents and the Task Force Fausto told me that their next move is to file murder charges against these personali-ties,” said Geremiah.

Tentorio was killed on October 17, 2011 while he was about to board his Isuzu pickup truck inside the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Arakan town. With wire report

Children have become addicted to computer games in Cagayan de Oro. Observers say some of the children no longer go to class just to play games some of which are violent in nature. They call on the city council to investigate this concern and do something about it. Photo by Gerry L. Gorit

“If you are quick enough to judge, make sure ALL your actions won’t make you unworthy of criticizing others.”

“Too much self righteousness is hypocrisy.”

***active members – refers to the people who are very vocal and “passionate” (for the lack of better word) in this campaign.”

---------------------------------------These are only a few thoughts that we need to inculcate our minds not just on how to fight for some-thing that we think is right or on how we simply go on with our lives as responsible Kagayanons but most of all, on how we treat people even those we don’t agree with or those we considered our enemies. Bottom line, respect is earned the hard way, not given. If our way of getting one is through sensationalizing the weaknesses of others, our fight is doomed.

Rationality, harmony, objectivity, respect, sincerity and unity are, to name a few, core values for every organization or group to succeed in its mission which Mata na CDO doesn’t have. The “active members”*** of this group have showcased stupidity, prejudice, insolence, hypoc-risy, hatred, disarray and animosity all through out their campaign which they claimed aimed for “better governance and better Cagayan de Oro City”. To make matters worst, not just toward their enemies but even to their fellow members. They have been told and warned, but they never listened. And now, the time the few remaining levelheaded members feared has come, the time of defeat and helplessness. They are now being taunted by the consequences of their actions. Mr. Evans Yonson, Mr. Antonio Montalvan, Mr. Tito Mora, Mr. Bob Ocio and the rest of the “active members” are not the core and strength of the group. Their uncalculated actions brought defeat and downfall unfortunately taking the rest with them.

First, they got their own medicine when they cried foul over criticisms from their detractors and the media when they themselves are doing the same thing. Now, another dose of their own medicine when they countered an observation made by Mr. Rolly James Esling of PULSO SA KAGAY-AN over the members’ actions during the Grand Eyeball Party of Mata na CDO last Sunday. They ranted that they are being judge unfairly over photos which to them was just merely having fun and a break after all the hard work. AND AGAIN, I ASK, LOOK WHO’S TALKING?!!! Aren’t they doing the same thing ever since they started the campaign? They labeled a priest as an instrument of evil just because he constantly officiate the blessings of Emano’s projects. They made fun of photos of people just because they are his constituents. They accused him of being GAY just because he is the son of the mayor whom they also accused the same. They called her names just because she is the daughter of the mayor. They called the local press biased just because one station was criticizing them over their true intentions. They called Mayor Emano insensitive and evil just because of hearsay that he was gambling during the plight of Sendong, They made him look bad by editing a photo of him smoking in front of a kid. They criticized him of his smoking just because he is a public figure. They called him irresponsible just because he did not put his right hand on his chest while singing the national anthem during XU Ecoville’s groundbreaking. They appealed to boycott all establishments and institutions because they were labeled, without basis, as PRO EMANOS. These are only a few of those uncountable posts which caused divisiveness in the group because some deemed them as baseless, irrelevant, immature, biased and on poor judgment.

Mr. Esling was one of them. He has always been vocal over his disgust over these things. But why was he ousted from the group? Why did he become one of the enemies overnight? Why is he under the attack now? Just because he expressed his disappointment over his fellow comrades’ actions which he thought inappropriate and detrimental to their fight? Just because he showed some sensibility on how they should not be careless?

So question is what irked him to react this way? The grand eyeball party per say was not a good idea for him but to see the photos of the members partying in a bar, proudly smoking, drinking, dancing on chairs while holding a glass of liquor really took his disappointment to its maximum level. And so I quote:

”To be the opposite of Emano you should not drink in public and flaunt it!” “What can the poor and needy expect from this kind of group?!“How can we expect Emano’s hoi-polloi supporters to abandon him and shift side with this kind of supposedly alternative group?!“They always say it was a private affair. But it became public because the pictures were shared in the internet. That’s where the problems lie. I didn’t steal those pics. These were foremost shared in my own group page and anything shared for that matter in the internet is already the property of netizens! Don’t you know that my friends?!”“Is this how Mata Na CDO should behave in public?!“I have never seen a picture of Emano’s supporters dining and drinking in public because that would be a clear panghinambug and affront to the poor”…

If I remember it right, they reacted when the Mayor labeled them as a bunch of elites which was what Mr. Esling saw in the said photos. These people were too righteous close to hypocrites from the very beginning. They were not fighting for a better CDO, they were fighting for the people to know that they are better leaders and that they should take over the “throne.” They waited for an opportunity which unfortunately, Sendong and its victims, to prove their point and that they are credible but because of their carelessness and lack of sensitivity, they lost their grip of the rope.

To add insult to injury, all their defense statements are bringing them downhill. That they were just having fun after all the hardwork? WHAT HARDWORK?! By gathering at the kiosko? By spearhead-ing the recall campaign? By updating their group page with irrelevant matters? By taking photos of the purple bridge? By brainstorming on what photos to make fun and mock with? Yes they may have done some helping for the victims as individuals, but as a GROUP, they have none except all those mudslinging, bickering, profanity and partying!

That it was just a grand eyeball to gather all the members and be united. C’mon! Why not set up a meeting instead so they can talk about what needs to be change within THEMSELVES so they can win the fight? Why not sit down and talk about how they can help in alleviating the victims’ situations? That the money spent was from their pockets and from donations. B.S!!! Why would they solicit donations for a party when there are a lot of victims out there that need it more? How much did they pay for the cigarettes, finger foods, appetizers, ladies’ drinks, liquor and beers? More than enough to feed, clothe and help several families in the evacuation areas!!!Why would they spend over a venue when they can have the gathering at a member’s house instead? Isn’t that more practical? To show their enemies that they are getting stronger? To let people know that they are indispensable? These guys are trying too hard which is a sign of desperation because we all know that they know where they are heading…DOOMSVILLE!!!

And so what’s the infamous Admin, Evans Yonsons’ take on the matter? As always, “ha,ha,ha” and that that he doesn’t mind all the backlashing because they are getting stronger. And that they don’t need all these “paid ads”? Yeah right, keep telling that to yourself! If he is that confident of the strength of their group, why beg people to participate in the kiosko? Why travel to Cebu, Bohol and Davao to gather members? Why mislead people for them to sign the signature campaign? Why would Mr. Ben Contreras admit that they were outmaneuvered? He should be humble enough to admit defeat!

And one of the members said that it’s a must for one to fight for what he/she thinks is right but to impose it to others is another. Very well said so tell that to the Mr. Yonson! Please tell him not to use his power as a professor to force students and leaders to make a statement. HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!

What a way to lose the fight sirs and madams! Start the change within yourselves before you demand change from others. Remember “One should examine oneself for very long time before thinking of condemning others.” And a suggestion, this should be your new tag line: Mata na CDO! ITS PARTY TIME!!! CHEERS!!!

House lead prosecutor Rep. Niel Tupas announced on the 25 day of the im-peachment trial, the drop-ping of the five remaining articles of the impeachment complaint against Chief Jus-tice Renato Corona --Article 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

In his manifestation, Tupas said the prosecution will no longer present wit-nesses and evidence in the five remaining articles of impeachment complaint.

Instead, he said the pros-ecution would focus on Articles 2, 3 and 7.

Tupas Jr. said the pros-ecution had already built a strong case against the Chief Justice.

“On Day 8 of the im-peachment trial, we have said that the prosecution will present the case against the Chief Justice in reasonable time. After presenting 25 witnesses and marked 397 documents on Articles 2, 3 and 7, we now believed that the evidence laid down are sufficient for the removal of the Chief Justice so we are now terminating the presentation of evidence,” Tupas said.

Under Article 2, where

Prosecution drops 5charges v. CJ CoronaTHE HOUSE prosecution panel formally terminated their presentation of evidence on the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona on Tuesday and dropped the other remaining articles of impeachment.

Corona has been accused of non-disclosure of state-ment of assets, liabilities and net worth, the prosecution had presented 17 witness and 166 documents, mostly Corona’s bank records while seven witnesses and 65 evi-dences in the Article 7, which refers to Corona’s competence, integrity, pro-bity and independence as member of the SC.

“But as far as Article II is concerned, the prosecution reserves the right to present evidence on the dollar ac-counts of Chief Justice Co-rona,” Tupas said as he noted that a pending motion for reconsideration is pending in the Supreme Court (SC) on the temporary restrain-ing order (TRO) issued by the SC on the opening of the said accounts.

Tupas said under Article 3, the prosecution presented one witness and 16 evi-dences.

Article 3 refers to Co-rona’s questionable compe-tence, integrity, probity, and independence as a member of the SC; and Article 7 on his partiality in granting a TRO in favor of former President Gloria Macapagal-

Arroyo and her husband Jose Miguel Arroyo.

”For this reason, we will no longer present witness and evidences to the other articles,” Tupas said.

Tupas, however, clarified that the prosecution might still present additional evi-dences if needed specially under Article 2.

The chief prosecutor said the Article 1 refers to the midnight appointment of Corona by former Presi-dent Arroyo; the Article 8 refers to Corona’s failure to account Judiciary and Development Fund and Special Allowance for the Judiciary collections; Article 4 is blatant disregard of the principle separation of powers; Article 5, wanton arbitrariness and partiality in favor of gerrymandering in the cases involving the 16 newly created cities; and, Article 6 which refers to creation of SC ethics committee.

Senate President-presid-ing officer Juan Ponce Enrile advised the prosecution to write a corresponding mo-tion to formally drop the remaining five articles of the impeachment complaint.

Tupas said the pros-ecution would submit the necessary notices formally dropping and withdrawing the said articles of impeach-ment to the impeachment tribunal. Wire report

OROQUIETA CITY, Mis-amis Occidental -- The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) here has intensified its campaign to plant bamboo trees as a program to protect the environment. “We have to accept that the climate has changed compared to the past and there is nothing we can do but adapt to it,” Director Delia Ayano, DTI Provin-cial Director, said. She said the numerous activities done by the hu-man race contributed much to the present weather conditions. As a way to adapt to climate change and to prevent future disasters from happening, DTI has intensified its campaign to plant bamboo trees because of the benefits it brings to the environment, like preventing erosion, and providing income to the communities. Meanwhile, Ayano said DTI and the Department of Education (DepEd) signed an agreement for a bamboo tree-planting program, wherein DepEd will encourage the school pupils to plant bamboo. As soon as the bamboo trees are ready for harvest-ing, DTI will process the raw materials for produc-tion of school furniture and fixtures, such as cabinets, school desks, tables, and book shelves for use by DepEd.

THINK a minute.A man from the city was

taking a drive out in the country and got lost.

He stopped to ask a farm-er for directions: “Where’s the main highway to the city?”

The farmer answered: “I don’t know.” So the driver asked: “Well where does this road go?” Again the farmer answered: “I don’t know.”

Frustrated, the driver said to the farmer: “You don’t know much, do you?” The farmer answered: “No, but I ain’t the one who’s lost!”

It reminds me of the true story about the famous scientist, Albert Einstein.

Einstein was taking a trip on a train. When the clerk came through asking for everybody’s ticket, Einstein couldn’t find his.

Worried, he quickly

Good directions

searched through his pock-ets and suitcase. Recogniz-ing the famous scientist, the clerk kindly said: “It’s OK, Mr. Einstein, I know who you are.”

A few minutes later the ticket clerk saw Einstein still looking for his ticket. Again he said: “It’s OK, Mr Einstein, I know who you are!”

Einstein replied: “Young man, I know who I am! I have to find my ticket be-cause I don’t know where

I’m going!”The well-known preach-

er, Billy Graham, recently spoke at an important cer-emony.

He told the audience that he had bought a brand new suit and tie just for that special occasion.

Since he is now old and frail, he told the audience he didn’t think he would be attending any more public ceremonies like this so he probably wouldn’t wear his new suit again, not until he

dies and is buried in it. “However,” Billy Gra-

ham went on to say, “unlike Albert Einstein, I not only know who I am, but I also know where I’m going.”

TODAY, this corner doffed a hat to Vice Governor Norris Babiera of Misa-mis Oriental. Babiera provided teeth on the province’s campaign against anti-illegal small mining operation in the municipal town of Opol.

In the past, we wrote about the presence of mining firms operat-ing in Opol town. In other words, although operating legally on the bases of exploration permits and a town mayor’s permits, we still want these mining stop.

We did not talk about illegal small-scale mining opera-tions in Opol’s hinterlands. However, we suspected that such clandestine operation had been there long time ago.

Instead, we suspected that if ever small-scale min-ing operates in the hinterlands of Opol, it does have the blessing of town officials. We could say so since any small-scale mining anywhere in Opol is illegal. To be legal, any small-scale mining permit is only for indigenous people in a recognized ancestral domain. By far, there is no small-scale mining claimed by IPs in Opol district.

The crackdown initiated by the province of Misamis Oriental only proved that illegal small-scale mining is operating in Opol. Combined elements of the military and police seized more than a dozen hydraulic compres-sors used for Hhydraulic mining in the area. Cheers!

As discussed in many instances, Hhydraulic Mining,

Illegal mining in Opola mining term that described extraction of mineral ore by applying 5,000lbs water pressure on mountains, had been wantonly going on in the mountains of Opol. There are suspicions that highly financed mining firms are employing this kind of mineral ore extraction in Opol.

During the raid, government operatives caught small-scale miners using Hhydraulic mining. There were gold fanners employing ‘mercury’ as a means of extracting gold. This method had been banned long time ago be-cause mercury (element symbol Hg or Hydrargyrum) is highly toxic. A mercury vapor can be inhaled or can be eaten in seafood, meat or vegetables contaminated with mercury.

We appreciate Babiera’s effort to run after illegal small-scale mining in Misamis Oriental. However, we deplored that there were no arrests made during the highly publicized raid. Is somebody protecting those people found in the mining site? That the raid in the hinterlands of Opol was only for a show?

What the Babiera team should have done was in-vite those people out there for questioning. Inevitably, incumbent Opol town Mayor Dexter Yasay must have a lot to explain. Perhaps, that would be too much. For Babiera doing so will have disastrous effect on his plan to run for the gubernatorial seat next year.

Until the full force on anti-illegal mining is applied, town officials in Opol will still be comfortable in their seats. For the moment, as the hype against mining heightens, the mountain of Opol will recluse in silence.

“Justice Sereno has breached this rule, narrating in her dissenting opinion her recollection of the En Banc’s deliberation in executive session on the effect of the petitioners’ failure to comply with the second condition of the temporary restraining order (TRO) that the Court issued in the case.

“The En Banc had resolved on November 15, 2011 to: ̀ c) ISSUE A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER in the consolidated petitions, enjoining the respondents from enforcing or implementing DOJ Department Circular No. 41 and Watchlist Order Nos.

FOREIGN bulk carriers and container cargo ships trading at the port of calls in the Philippines are regularly seen in international ter-minals loading shipments.

Queries are raised if a centralized customs inspec-tion for tariff and duties should be integrated into a one clearing roof for all importation entries in the Philippines. Should it be made mandatory to use port of entries located inside an existing and still to be created Economic Zones?

Should a study along this premise merit our legislators attention to curtail smug-gling of imported products at the same time encourage manufacturing for exports to locate inside an economic zone.

Economic zones are cre-ated by laws to promote foreign and domestic entry of new investments.

capitalization and funding by the national government with the purpose of creating an economic activities and employment.

Kaohsiung in Taiwan is a successful port of call. Subic Bay Free Port has contributed to the economic turnaround of Central Lu-zon when the Americans were driven out from their bases.

Will the tax perks inside an economic zone apply to other imports aside from what is provided in the Om-nibus Tax Code exempting new and pioneering invest-ments to bring in tax free capital equipment endorsed

by the Board of Investments? Are all other goods and raw materials exempt from taxation whenever they use an economic zone as a port of entry?

There are government agencies like the DOTC and the Department of Finance that needs to harmonize their policies on the main-tenance of port terminals and collection of customs and tariff duties in our in-ternational port of calls.

The dispersals of govern-ment revenue monitoring men to multiple ports of entries reduced the bureau’s manpower base resulting to inefficiency in the col-

lection of customs duties and tariffs.

Thinly spread lines weak-en tax collections and are susceptible to corruption. Lawmakers might interest to look into cost cutting and streamlining the Bureau of Customs human resources plantilla and administrative costs? It seems there are too many Customs Clerks owning Porsche sports cars and mansions everywhere?

Legislators needs to scrutinize also the Depart-ment of Transportation and Communications budget for international port construc-tion and maintenance which may be duplications to the infrastructures and facilities available in the economic zones within a specific geo-graphical radius.

DEL Monte generates a considerable volume of organic waste at its fruit and vegetable processing plants. This is a natural byproduct of the production process that can’t be avoided. But the environmental impact can be minimized. Out of respect for Mother Nature, Del Monte is continually refining its recycling standards and practices. And by minimizing waste, the company is able to focus on giving back as much as it takes out. 99% was recycled, reused for feedstock, or reapplied to farmland. “Del Monte’s commitment to the environment and the communities in which we operate ref lects our rich tradition,” said Richard G. Wolford, Former Del Monte Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “For more than 100 years, Del Monte has been part of the fabric of American life. From our agricultural roots to bringing good food to family tables across the country, our commitment to environmental sustainability literally extends from the fields where our nutritious fruits and vegetables are grown, to the grocery shelf.” Continued Mr. Wolford, “We are proud of our heritage and pleased with the progress we have made in reducing our environmental impact. We plan to do more, and our recent efforts ref lect our heightened focus on three specific areas in which we can have significant inf luence - reducing waste, lowering water consumption, and improving air quality. This work will play a part in protecting the environment for future generations to come.”The pledge to reduce waste. In order to reduce the amount of waste the company sends to landfills and help decrease the need for new ones, Del Monte has worked to lower solid waste (per ton of finished product) going to landfill from its opera-tions, and has committed to a 75 percent reduction. Del Monte has been working toward this goal since 2007, and during that period has made significant progress. The Del Monte Foods Distribu-tion Center in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania is now a zero-landfill facility – meaning that 100% of its waste has been diverted from landfill. As a result of these and other efforts, Del Monte has reduced its waste to landfill by almost 60 percent, and is well on its way to achieving its goal. Separately, Del Monte has committed to reducing its packaging materi-als by 15 percent, which will not only help reduce the amount of waste our consumers send to landfill, but also decrease the natural resources used across the entire supply chain to produce packaging. To date, the company has implemented several packaging initiatives to drive progress against this goal. Looking to the future, Del Monte will continue working to eliminate waste, and find new opportunities to reuse waste materials whenever pos-sible. This will even further reduce the impact of Del Monte’s operations, and contribute to healthier environments in the communities where the company operates.The benefits of wasteless thinking: In 2008, less than 1% of the total waste generated at production facili-ties, distribution centers, and research locations went to a landfill. In 2010, the Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania facility became the first dis-tribution center in Del Monte to become “zero landfill.” Less than 1% of solid waste reaches landfill. As of now, May 2011, three other Del Monte facilities are Zero Landfill: Decatur, Buffalo, and Topeka. By 2016, Del Monte hopes to achieve a 75% reduction of solid waste per ton of finished product.

Del Monte’s tips to “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”

Security Bank Corporation (SBC) continues to offer its customers investment opportunities with its re-cent launch of Long-Term Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (LTNCDs). The LTNCDs Offer pe-riod is until February 10, in denominations of P10,000 and a minimum investment amount of P50,000 with target issue date of February 17.

SBC will issue the seven-year LTNCD with quarterly interest payments. The bank has appoint-ed the Manila branch of Deutsche Bank AG and Standard Chartered Bank as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners. Said banks were also appointed as selling agents, together with Multinational Investment Bancorporation and Security Bank.

As an investment tool, LTNCDs offer the advan-tage of higher yield and tax exemption for qualified individual investors if held for more than five years as compared to other invest-ment outlets available in the market. Investors may open a Philippine peso deposit account or nominate an existing account to where interest and redemption of LTNCDs will be credited.

Leading telecommuni-cations company Globe Telecom has declared the first semi-annual cash dividend of P32.50 per common share or a total of P4.3 billion, represent-ing 86 percent of 2011 core net income. The amount translates to a dividend yield of 5.7 percent based on end-2011 share price and is payable on March 16, 2012 to shareholders on record as of February 24, 2012. Annualized divi-dends, on the other hand, represent a five percent improvement over 2010’s P62 per share. The Board of Direc-tors has recently amended the company’s dividend policy to ensure that divi-dends remain sustainable and the resulting yields competitive. Under the new policy, dividends shall be at 75 percent to 90 percent of prior year’s core net in-come instead of reported

net income. Core net in-come excludes all foreign exchange and mark-to-market charges, as well as non-recurring items such as the accelerated depre-ciation charges arising from the IT and network modernization programs that Globe will undertake beginning this year. Globe closed the year with core net income of P10 billion, up 11 percent from about P9.1 billion in the previous year. Ex-cluding transformation-related professional fees and services costs of P176 million and accelerated depreciation charges of P350 million, core net income would have been up a stronger 15 percent against 2010. Likewise, reported net income after tax of P9.8 billion was slightly up by one percent from prior year’s P9.7 billion as 2010 results included the one-time upward adjustment of P526 million arising

from prepaid load credits that have either expired or have been used up. Meanwhile, Carmina J. Herbosa stepped in as Head of Globe Internal Audit effective Febru-ary 16. Herbosa will work with management to develop governance and control strategies, review the continued ef-fectiveness and efficiency of audit methodologies, and set up and imple-ment a Control Self-Assessment system and environment in Globe. She will be responsible for supporting business growth while balancing the need for controls and improvements in business processes. Herbosa is a Certi-fied Public Accountant, a Certified Internal Au-ditor (US CIA) and a Certified Control Self-Assessment Auditor (US CCSA). She has local and regional/global experi-ence, breadth of business understanding and with proven track record of delivering business results through appropriate levels of effective governance and control. She has 22 years of professional and executive level experi-ence in multi-national organizations. Herbosa replaced Catherine Hufana-Ang who joined Ayala Corpo-ration to head the Group Risk Management Unit.

“When on November 18, 2011 the En Banc took up petitioners’ supposed compliance with the second condition, it found, by a vote of 7-6, that such condition had not been sufficiently complied with. After further deliberation, the En Banc took a vote on the effect of such insufficient compliance on the TRO that it issued.

“It voted 7-6 that such insufficient compliance did not result in the suspension of the TRO. Since these votes did not result in any positive action that would affect the TRO, the same were not embodied in the resolution of that date.

CATION ON TRO EFFEC-TIVITY’: “On further con-sideration at the request of Justices Carpio and Sereno during its En Banc session on November 22, 2011, the Court voted to take note of the November 18 voting and clarify that the TRO was not suspended even with the finding that there was no full compliance as of November 15 with the conditions of the TRO.

“The pertinent part of the Court’s resolution reads: `x x x On November 18, 2011, the Court by a vote of 7-6 found there was no sufficient compliance with the second condition of the Temporary Restraining Order issued on November 15, 2011.

“However, by a vote of 7-6, the Court ruled that the TRO was not suspended pending compliance with the second condition. Thus, the Court resolved to CLAR-IFY that the TRO was not suspended even with the finding that there was no full compliance with the conditions of the TRO…’ The final installment of this will be published next issue.

leading government agencies tasked to opti-mize revenues and maxi-mize return of govern-ment investments?

G o v e r n m e n t m a y have the constitutional mandate and the regu-lator y p ower to make sure investments in any government funded in-dustrial and economic zones brings in revenues from lease rentals and fees from franchises granted by Congress to a cargo terminal operator.

Should escalatory pro-vision of lease agreements be made standards and compulsory in any award of contracts or franchise to a port handler or busi-ness locators?

Investors have nothing to lose anyway with tax and import perks on top of what privilege they could gain from the free export promotions through the market ing arm of the Board of Investments.

E c o n o m i c z o n e s

shou ld b e supp or t ive and may not exercise in their charters provisions contradictory provisions to the autonomy of the local government units to share the internal revenue allocation from taxes and other revenues which the government collects.

Will revenues be pro-portionately shared by host cities or municipali-ties rather than arbitrarily allowed as a meager token in the collection of busi-ness permits and local licenses. Should LGU’s be excluded from the tax derivatives of the busi-nesses inside an Economic Zone?

There are good law-makers in both houses of Congress who can craft laws for the creation of economic zones which perhaps form part of their political contracts to their constituents to develop their regions.

Never theless , many politicians are not good mathematicians who can determine the return of investments for ever y peso sunk by the govern-ment. Not even NEDA of-ficials who validate their legislative proposals are accountable for their en-dorsements.

They come and go ev-ery six years once a Presi-dent exhausts his term of office while economic zones have corporate life span of f ifty years and government borrowed funds have long terms maturities.

Should p or t termi-nal operators and oth-er business locators be required to post bonds or guarantees in their lease or franchise con-tracts proportionate to their capita l izat ion as insurance to participa-tive amortization for the borrowed funds? There are also probable costs of rehabilitations that may arise in an environmental damage scenario?

Economic zones causes peoples migration and mit igate environmen-tal degradation through carbon dioxide emission f rom the locators and newly created commu-nities.

It could displace mar-ginalized fishermen from their salvaged zones for food and seashells. It also adds to the cost of social services to the cuppers of the host communities.

Business locators in-side the economic zones should not conf ine its limit and parameters with setting up objectives in its production and revenue figures alone. It has to set aside repayments to where it conducts its business.

In a Marxist theory, the state must always be protected which an op-posite of capitalist eco-nomics that sometimes leaves government empty handed.

COTABATO City––A Euro-pean Union-funded project in Mindanao has played critical impact on the lives of women in recipient communities, said an independent monitoring team aft er visiting project areas in Central Mindanao region.

Blanca Gil, who led the EU-commissioned moni-toring team, said that the livelihood training given to women in the communities served by the Early Recovery and Rehabilitation in Central Mindanao (ERRCM) has eff ectively enabled women benefi ciaries to generate re-sources for their family needs.

Among livelihood proj-ects are vegetable gardening, banana chip processing, mat weaving, product packaging, and basic recordkeeping.

“The livelihood activi-ties have given them initial income to meet their daily needs such as food and related household requirements,” Gil said.

“Th is is an encouraging transformation for their liv-ing conditions aft er being displaced by past confl icts,” he added.

Most of the benefi ciaries of the EU-funded rehabili-tation projects were Moro people in the countryside considered most affected sector in armed confl ict areas.

Gil said other health pro-gram components such as community health centers as well as water and sanitation programs and core shelters have transformed the lives of the people in the com-munities.

“Th e people are settled and generally happy with what they have. Th ere are many impacts now already visible,” she said.

She added that more positive outcome could be evident once the livelihood projects are strengthened and expanded.

A very notable example are the women in Barangay

Manggay in Talitay, Maguin-danao who received training on banana chip processing and vegetable gardening un-der the bio-intensive garden-ing program.

Some groups also availed of micro-capital as startups.

The monitoring team leader particularly noted the fact that livelihood projects benefi t mostly women of the communities, saying that it will bear direct impact on their personal fi nances.

“Some of the livelihood activities, like the vegetable gardening in Talitay, Magu-

indanao, are very amazing,” she said.

While there is a constant market for their products such as fresh produce, the benefi ciaries also seek greater market links through the as-sistance of the LGUs, other government agencies, and NGO partners.

In Damawato and Gali-dan in Tulunan, North Co-tabato, the project plans to tap technical assistance in forming a cooperative to support the buy-and-sell activities of the women ben-efi ciaries.

billion in countryside loans channelled through hundreds of farmers and fisher folk cooperatives and countryside financial insti-tutions;

The Rodriguezes urged Congress’ committee on government enterprise to find out why LBP failed to institute measures ensuring that payments of loans are done being one of the gov-ernment’s financial institu-tion that strikes a balance in fulfilling its social mandate of promoting countryside development while remain-ing financially viable.

In 2009, LBP’s written off accounts amounted only to about P47.982 million. How-ever, in 2010, the written off account totalled P471.19 million, up 882 percent of uncollected bank loans, the resolution said.

Of the written-off ac-counts in 2010, 88.08% pertained to cooperatives, while 11.92% pertained to countryside financial institutions, the resolution added.

In the same COA report, the commission criticised LBP’s laxity in granting the loans, exposed the bank to credit losses and that LANDBANK granted loans to cooperatives even without hard collateral and seldom with underlying collateral.

The resolution urged the House of Representatives Committee on government enterprises and privatiza-tion to serve notice to all concerned, particularly the LANDBANK, COA and other agencies and entities to be able to shed light and resolve the issue.

law by the 15th Congress, the barangay elections will be set on October 2015 and every five years thereafter.

Under Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of the Philippines, the barangay officials have a three-year term and can serve more than three con-secutive terms.

“This bill seeks to ad-dress a separate law fixing the term of barangay of-ficials to five years for two consecutive terms only and setting the date of election exclusively for barangay officials sans the Sanggu-niang Kabataan which can be addressed in a separate law,” Romualdo said.

“The frontliners in im-plementing different na-tional and local government policies and programs are our barangay officials. We need to see to it that they are given the mandate and opportunity to best serve their communities by giv-ing them a longer period,” Romualdo said.

Under the bill, no baran-gay officials shall serve for more than two consecutive terms.

The bill provides that voluntary renunciation of the office for any length of time shall not be considered

as an interruption in the continuity of his service for the full term by which he was elected.

The bill provides further that all incumbent barangay officials shall remain in of-fice unless sooner removed or suspended for cause until their successors shall have been elected and qualified.

The barangay officials who are ex officio members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Sangguniang Panglunsod or Sangguniang Panlalawigan may continue to serve as members until the next barangay election.

Likewise, the Liga ng mga Barangay shall, within 30 days after the next ba-rangay election, conduct election for ex officio po-sitions in the Sanggunians under the supervision of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Zamboanga del Sur Pro-vincial Director Sr. Supt. Jose Bayani Gucela said the reward offer was made after a meeting of several peace and order councils.

“They were heartless killers,” said Gucela of the armed men. Some of the victims were hacked repeat-edly even as they lay dying from gunshot wounds, said Gucela.

The Moro Islamic Lib-eration Front (MILF) said in a statement that police should make a thorough check of the armed men’s backgrounds.“They are not MILF members,” said Von Al Haq, MILF spokesperson.

vegetables significantly reduces the incidence of prostate cancer.

Lycopene and tomato products appear to reduce the risk of prostate cancer in epidemiogical studies.

A study led by Giovan-nucci in 1995 showed that lycopene and tomato prod-uct intakes were associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer.

One study led by Gann in 1999 suggested a strong inverse association between aggressiveness of the cancer and plasma lycopene.

Another study led by Wu in 2004 showed an inverse association between plasma lycopene concentrations and risk of prostate cancer although only in older men without a history of the disease.

The results of these epidemiological studies support a hypothesis that tomato products and lyco-pene consumption reduce the risk of prostate cancer and supports further test-ing of this relationship with animal and human trials.

The mayor, however, said the 23 policemen assigned to Lapuyan were not enough for the town’s 26 villages.

Several other officials said soldiers have to be deployed to the town perma-nently to serve as a backup force for the small police lineup.

The mayor said most of the town’s villages were remote and weren’t easily accessible.

CEBU City––Almost four years ago, AJ “Bazooka” Banal, then 19, failed to capture a world title and suffered his first career defeat.

Now at 23, and nine fights since that 10th round knockout loss against Rafael Concepcion, Banal is ready to once again try his luck at a coveted world title.

“My confidence is back,” Banal said in a press confer-ence launching “Pinoy Pride 13 – Road to Glory”.

“I like it even more, now that I’m a more complete fighter and that my confidence in my skills has come back,” Banal said. “Road to Glory” fits well as Banal’s next fight on March 24 at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in this city because this will be the gate to his path for a world title this year.

“AJ Banal has to do well in this fight for him to fight for a world title,” said ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer. Banal is defending his World Boxing Organi-zation (WBO) Asia-Pacific bantamweight title against Mexican prospect Raul Hidalgo in the 13th installment of the “Pinoy Pride” series.

Also included in the card are promising fighters Rocky Fuentes, Arthur Villanueva and Albert Pagara.

Banal has countless options on which organization to fight for a world title because he is rated No. 1 in the WBO, No. 3 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF), No. 3 in the World Boxing Association and No. 6 in the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Aldeguer is exploring Banal’s options and is targeting the WBO and IBF bantamweight crowns.

Jorge Arce of Mexico currently holds the WBO bantamweight crown but if ever he decides to move up to super bantamweight and challenge WBO titleholder Nonito Donaire Jr., then Banal could be facing No. 2 rated Thai Pungluang Sor Singyu for the vacant crown.
