‘very poor’ Mayor fingers cops on Campaign against drugs
By M. A. De los Santos
SIX in every 100 persons in Guimaras were
considered “extremely poor” in the first half
of 2015 (1H ‘15), according to Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA).
PSA-Guimaras’ poverty survey indicated
that extreme poverty among population was
6.2 percent from January to June 2015.
The “extremely poor” are persons whose
monthly income are not enough to meet
their basic food needs, and the nutritional
requirement set by the Food and Nutrition
Research Institute (FNRI) to economically
necessary and socially desirable activities.
Despite the bleak figure, extreme poverty
rate among population improved compared
to the 16.3 percent subsidence incidence
among population in the same period in
2012.
Extremely poor families, meanwhile,
was estimated to be at 4.8 percent.
Meanwhile, a family of five in Guimaras
needed at least 9,501 monthly to stay out of
poverty in 1H of 2015.
To meet the food needs only, a family
of five needed P6,634 monthly, and P7,961
to also meet the nutritional requirements
of FNRI.
PSA said poverty incidence in the island
improved to 19.4 percent in 2015, compared to 26.2 percent in the same period
in 2012.
“It means about seven in every one
hundred families were lifted out of poverty
since 2012,” it added.
Since 2006, the number of poor families
was highest in 2012 with Poverty Incidence
at 26.2, and the least was 18.6 percent in
2009.

ILOILO City Mayor Jed Patrick
Mabilog said it is not the job of the Iloilo
City Government to arrest or file cases
against drug lords, pushers or users.
In a press conference Aug. 15, 2016, Mabilog
cited Department of Interior and Logical Government (DILG) Memorandum Circular No. 2012-94
that specifies the roles of PNP, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and local government
units (province, city, municipality, and barangays)
in the government’s fight against illegal drugs.
Mabilog said he cannot remember receiving
the memo, which delineated the role of PDEA,
PNP and LGU.
Signed by the late DILG secretary Jesse Robredo, the memo calls for the coordination and
integration of pre-, during, and post-drug operation
measures of the police, PDEA agents and LGU.
Mabilog is in hot water after President Rodrigo
Duterte named as one of the alleged illegal drug
protectors in the country.
The mayor denied the President’s accusations.
Mabilog cited some anti-illegal drug programs
in the metro for pre-drug operations, which include activation of Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse

centers for
druggies
to start
operations
August 24
By M. A. De los Santos
THE ILOILO City Health Office (CHO) is set to start operating the drop-in centers for drug
users starting Aug. 24, 2016.
The personnel to be deployed
in the seven drop-in centers in
the metro started their 10-day
training last week, according
to Dr. Bernard Caspe, CHO
officer-in-charge.
Each center will be manned
by a psychologist, a nurse, three
peer facilitators,and a record
custodian or utility person.
The drop-in centers are
funded by a P7.7-million budget for the rehabilitation of 420
mild to moderate drug users for
six months.
Caspe said the full rehabilitation of a drug dependent takes
at least six months.
Within the rehab period, the
drug users will receive holistic
treatment, including medications to improve their nutritional status, physical activities,
psychological therapies, among
others.
The clients will be subjected
to random drug-testing to ensure they follow the regimen,
he said.
The drop-in centers are located in gated gyms which the
CHO will inspect this week.
After the launching, CHO
targets to start the centers’ fullswing operations by September
1, Caspe said.
The center is the local
government unit’s support to
President Rodrigo Duterte’s
on-going war against illegal
drugs.

Monsoon rains to continue
hitting WV until Aug. 21
By Louine Hope Conserva
THE southwest monsoon (habagat)
will continue to bring rains to Western
Visayas until Sunday, Aug. 21, 2016,
according to the weather bureau PAGASA.
Oscar Tabada Jr, officer-in-charge
of PAGASA-Visayas, said light to
moderate rains will be experienced
from Monday to Friday and will develop into heavy rains on Saturday
and Sunday.
“The week will also be characterized
by prevailing winds despite the absence
of storm within the Philippine Area of
Responsibility. The tropical cyclone
outside PAR enhances the habagat
causing rains and strong winds within
Western Visayas,” Tabada said.
Tabada said 11 to 12 tropical storms
are expected to hit the country until the
end of the year.
“From October to December, the
track of the storm will be towards
Central Visayas and Western Visayas.
So brace for storms to hit your area.
The problem is we still do not know its
strength,” he said.
Habagat has been affecting Luzon
and Western Visayas since the first week
of August, resulting in cancellation of
classes in several areas, destruction of
properties and even deaths.
A total of 19,406 families or 80,467
individuals in the country were affected
by the heavy downpour.
Tabada warned people residing near
the coast lines and landslide-prone areas
to immediately vacate to safer areas.

(Ricky D. Alejo)
BARANGAY captains in Iloilo City are ordered to religiously submit anti-illegal drugs
report monthly.
In a press conference Aug. 15, 2016, Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog said he is set to issue a
memorandum to the barangay captains today,
requiring them to submit a monthly Barangay
Anti-Drugs Abuse Council (BADAC) to the
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Mabilog issued the memorandum to meet
the local government unit (LGU) function per
DILG Memo Circular no. 2012-94.
The memo specified specific roles of LGU
(city, municipality, barangay), PNP and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA)
in the strengthening of the city, municipality
and barangay anti-drug abuse councils.
The memo indicates that part of LGU’s
post-operation responsibility is to submit
monthly reports on its anti-illegal drug
activities.

Birthday bash turns sour
after buy-bust operation
THREE bachelors and a family
man were arrested in a birthday
party they were having sans the
celebrant.
The arrest happened as
Philippine Drug Enforcement
Agency (PDEA-6) personnel
conducted a buy-bust operation
just before sunset of Aug. 14,
2016 in Balabago village, Jaro,
Iloilo City.
Arrested were Roger Daquin,
30, of Bakhaw, Mandurriao,
Iloilo City; Lewelyn Deocampo, 34, of Poblacion, San
Rafael, Iloilo; Randy Acoba,
36, of Quintin Salas, Jaro; and
Panfilo Barcenas II, 34, of
San Geronimo, Barotac Viejo,
Iloilo.
The subject of the operation
is Daquin also known as “Yob”
together with Deocampo.
Daquin is one of the suspected main distributors of
illegal drugs in Bakhaw under
a known drug personality in
the area.
The suspect was arrested after
he allegedly sold a sachet suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu to an undercover
PDEA agent for P1,000.
The bust happened in
Daquin’s rented house inside a
subdivision in Balabago.
Acoba and Barcenas were
with Daquin and Deocampo
when the operation was conducted.
They claimed that they were
there to celebrate the birthday
of their friend named Gerald
who left for a moment.
Gerald never got back before the consummation of the
sting operation.
During the subsequent
search on the suspects and the
house, PDEA agents seized
three more plastics sachets of
suspected shabu, drug paraphernalia, electronic weighing
scale, a roll of aluminum foil,
among others.
The marked money was also
recovered from Daquin.
Daquin will be charged for
violating Sections 5 (Sale of
Dangerous Drugs), 6 (Maintenance of Drug Den), 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs)
and 12 (Possession of Paraphernalia) of Republic Act
9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002).
Deocampo will be charged
for violating Section 26 in relation to Sections 5 and 6 (Conspiracy to Sell and Maintain
Drug Den) of RA 9165.
Acoba and Barcenas will be sued
for violation of Section 7 (Visiting
Drug Den) under the same law.

The PCARI
Projects: Research
and Scholarship
I
T IS THE role of the colleges and universities in the world to
contribute to economic and human development.
In other countries, research and faculty qualifications of the
higher education institutions (HEIs) are significant investments
in economic development. These urged
them to provide advanced training for
their faculty and citizens by sending
them abroad for graduate studies.
Brazil is targeting to send 100,000
Brazilians out their country to earn masters’ and doctoral degrees. Vietnam, in
its objective to train 10,000 Vietnamese
overseas, has invested about US$50M
of its annual budget to send 1,000 uniDr. Rex Casiple versity and college faculty a year for
doctoral degrees abroad.
The Philippines is seriously behind
in providing colleges and universities
advance training, particularly in science
and technologies.
On June 8, 2012, the Government of the United States of
America (USA) and the Government of the Republic of the
Philippines signed an agreement on Scientific and Technological
Cooperation which aims to strengthen scientific, technological,
and institutional capabilities; broaden and expand relations between the scientific and technological communities; and promote
scientific and technological cooperation in areas of mutual benefit,
including information technology and the health sciences.
The agreement requires the two governments to encourage and
facilitate direct contacts and cooperation between their government agencies and universities. This is the Philippine-California
Advanced Research Institutes (PCARI) Project.
In 2013, the PCARI Project was approved by the Philippine
Congress for implementation by the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) with a budget of Php1.763 billion. In 2014, a
similar amount was allocated for the project, while Php763 million was allocated in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016.
The PCARI Project is a new approach to enhance the skills and
expertise of faculty, students and staff of Philippine universities
and colleges through scholarships, training and research partnerships with top-notch research universities in California, USA, in
the priority areas of Information Infrastructure Development (IID)
and Health Innovation and Transnational Medicine (HITM).
The project is a world-class research institutes with stateof-the-art facilities for IID and HITM. It will improve research
management skills especially in research grants administration
and international linkages.
It will increase the number of faculty-scientist and faculty
researchers with the capacity to generate effective technologies
to benefit society. It has affordable and efficient diagnostic kits,
medical devices and inexpensive drugs and creates jobs to produce
such to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the ten highest
causes of mortality and morbidity in the Philippines, such as
dengue, asthma, diabetes, and tuberculosis.
It will also create jobs in new competitive high-value added
industries and related support services in information infrastrucEducation Updates/p5

EFORE I discuss the topic, let me
share this information due to the
rising number of victims of the
dengue fever. This herbal means is fast
a n d e ff e c tive. I say
this because
of personal
experiences
with several
patients and
it has never
failed.
Modesto P. Sa-onoy There are
two ways to
do this. The
first is the
herb called
tawa-tawa that grows everywhere. Just
take a branch with the leaves, clean it and
boil. Let the victim drink the concoction,
a glass say every hour until the platelets
go up.
The second is unpleasant but faster.
Take fresh leaves of a papaya branch, extract the juice and make the patient drink.
It is easier to extract with a juicer, but if
you don’t have one, just batter or crush
the leaves to a pulp, put it in a cloth and
squeeze out the juice. The leaves of one
branch are enough.
To make it palatable, give it with honey
or sweetener. A half glass of this juice is
enough to see the platelets go up remarkably. Another doze of this juice three or
four hours later will be better though unnecessary when the platelets are up.
Opinions are divided whether the late
President Ferdinand Marcos should be
buried in the Libingan nga mga Bayani.
President Duterte has already decided and
that seems to be final. Not only will Marcos
be buried there but he will be accorded a
military funeral, a ceremony granted to
Presidents and top national or military officials depending upon the circumstances.
The President decided to put this issue
to a close on two grounds: Marcos was
Focus
president and he was a soldier.
The opposition does not deny he was
president but that he declared martial law
and under that regime Marcos should
take full responsibility for the abuses, the
torture and the deaths of many. As Mark
Anthony said of Julius Caesar during the
latter’s funeral: The good is oft interred
with their bones. Indeed the “good” Caesar
was several times more brutal than Marcos
but he did something good that William
Shakespeare recreated him to look like a
saint who brought glory to Rome.
Marcos should be buried there because
he was a hero; no, others say, he is a villain.
But who is a hero, who is a villain?
As often said, the victors write history
though not always so because in the end
the truth comes out. We are always in the
process of separating propaganda by the
victor and the truth hidden behind these
claims.

Cinemalaya 2016: showcase of Filipino
talent, substance and relevance
(The author is an Antiqueña journalist
in Metro Manila who writes for Malaya,
Abante and VERA Files) I
HOPE the movies shown in the recent
Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival
would be shown in commercial theaters more widely later.
I was able to watch
Ellen
only two: “Kusina”
starring Judy Ann Santos under the direction
of David Corpuz and
Cenon Palomares and “Pamilya Ordinaryo” by Eduardo Roy, Jr.
(“Pamilya Ordinaryo” won the best film,
best director, and best actress awards)
I missed “Toto” by John Paul Su; “Tuos”
by Roderick Cabrido starring Nora Aunor;
“Hapis at Himagsik ni Hermano Puli” by
Gil M. Portes; “Dagsin” by Renato Ignacio
Magadia, Jr. and many more.
I met actress, writer and director Bibeth
Orteza, one of the stars in “Toto” at the
Cultural Center of Philippines last Saturday and she shared the good news that
the movie will be shown in commercial
theaters later.
“Toto”, according to the movie’s blurb,
is about a young Filipino hotel room service attendant who is determined to obtain
a U.S. visa by any means. But when his
schemes put the lives of his loved ones in
danger, he is forced to question the extremity of his actions and re-evaluate the cost
of fulfilling his dream.
“Kusina” is set where else, the kitchen –
a pretty one, country-style. The kusina covered the more than three decades of the life
of Juanita (Juday is the adult Juanita)- from
the day she was born to the arms of her
grandmother (played by Gloria Sevilla) to
the days when she was now a grandmother
and sharing with her apo the cooking tips
her lola taught her.
Tordesillas Santos has admirably
matured as an actress. She
conveyed intense emotion
without saying a word
in the Martial Law scene
where she was told by her activist daughter
that her dutiful son’s life was in danger because he eloped with the daughter of a general who disapproved of their romance.
I’m glad that the movie touched on
Martial Law to give the mostly young
viewers an idea about what that dreaded
situation is that is being floated now by
President Duterte.
While I was watching “Pamilyang
Ordinaryo,” I thought of the La Pieta
couple of Pasay, Jennelyn Olaires cradling
the lifeless body of her lived-in partner
tricycle driver Michael Siaron, another
casualty in Duterte’s anti-illegal drugs
drive. They are people who never had a
break in life.
Directed by Eduardo Roy Jr., “Pamilya
Ordinaryo” is a searing portrait of the
Philippines’ unprivileged. Jane and Aries
are teenage street children with a monthold baby. Their residence is sidewalks of
Manila and they live by hustling, snatching,
pick-pocketing, shop-lifting.

his orders to be barred from the
same cemetery? Will former
President Benigno Aquino be
denied space there because of
the tortures, executions and
deaths committed by people

and control?
Of course it can be argued
that the magnitude of Marcos,
Ramos and Aquino’s culpability are different, but who should
judge that?
The National Historical
Commission of the Philippines
came out with the assertion
that the medals of Marcos are
fakes because they were not
confirmed by the United States.
The NHCP did not say anything
about the medals and decorations that the Armed Forces of
the Philippines conferred on
Marcos. Are they fakes as well?
Should all medals be authenticated by the US?

But despite that kind of life, they have
not lost their capacity to trust. Which was
how they lost their baby.
The search for baby Arjan gave the
audience the distressing reality how the
disadvantaged in life are further being
taken advantaged of.
The movie is so well-written, the direction is brilliant and the acting by Ronaldo
Martin (brother of Coco Martin) as Aries
and Hasmine Killip as Jane is so believable.
They are good.
Despite its being set in grime and deprivation, it’s actually a feel- good movie.
The audience cheered when finally Aries
and Jane were able to make it through the
high fence of a suburban housing subdivision when they decided to return the wrong
baby. During the suspenseful chase, we

The books written by guerrilla

The gratuity
of grace
HAT MAY be a redundancy, since grace by definition is
always gratuitous. It is something given to us at the sheer
initiative of our creator. It is something that we have no
right to claim, but is given to us just the same.
And that’s simply because
God, our Creator and Father, out
of pure goodness and love, wants
it that way. He wants that we
participate in his very own life by
making us his image and likeness
and, in fact, children of his.
And in spite of our sin, God
still wants to give it to us. That’s
much he loves us as shown
Fr. Roy Cimagala how
by Christ, the son of God who
became man to be our redeemer,
who assumed all our sins by dying on the cross and then resurrecting.
As the Compendium of the Catechism would define it, grace
is “the gratuitous gift that God gives us to make us participants in
his Trinitarian life and able to act by his love.” (423) We cannot
love as we are supposed to do unless we have this grace.
This grace is more properly called as the habitual or sanctifying
or deifying grace because “it sanctifies and divinizes us. It is also
called supernatural because it depends entirely on God’s gratuitous
initiative and surpasses the ability of the intellect and the power
of human beings. It therefore escapes our experience.” (423)
Aside from this sanctifying grace, there also are the actual
graces which are meant for specific circumstances, sacramental
graces which are proper to each sacrament, and other special
graces or charisms that are intended for the common good.
Among the charisms are the graces of state that accompany the
exercise of Church ministries and the different states and responsibilities of life. (cfr. 424) Examples would be the charism of being
a founder of a spiritual group, a leader of a nation, etc.
We have to be aware of the role of grace in our life and activities, since grace is what makes everything that we are and do
pleasing to God. Though its presence and action in us is beyond
our perception, it would help greatly to be aware of it so we can
cooperate with it as much as we can and should.
Most importantly, grace enables us to earn merits before God
for any good action that we do, since this action would be united
with the most pleasing sacrifice of Christ to his Father.
Such awareness would lead us to be most thankful to God
and to do everything with rectitude of intention, that is, with
humility, with desire to do things as best as we can, with deep
understanding of the twists and turns, the ups and downs of our
life. It endows us with a sense of purpose in life. It prevents
us from getting lost in life, or confused and swept away by
worldly forces.
With such awareness, we would know that we are never alone
in our life, that the source of everything good is God always and
not just ourselves or some natural resources. It makes us objective and realistic, not simply subjective and inventive, and much
less, up in the clouds.
The nature of grace is such that, given our human condition
as God’s children, we need to ask for it and merit it even if it is
God’s pure initiative to give it to us gratuitously.
This aspect of grace in relation to us is not easy to understand,
because we can always ask why should it be merited if after all it
is given to us gratuitously and freely? To this question, a number
of possible answers have been offered, ranging from the extreme
of pure gratuity without merit at all to the other extreme of pure
merit and thus undermining the gratuity of grace.

Capitol ready to elevate
Negros ranch issue to SC
By Dolly Yasa
BACOLOD City – The provincial government of Negros Occidental is ready to bring
the issue on the ownership of the Negros
First Ranch in Hacienda Ilimanan in Sta.
Rosa village, Murcia all the way to the
Supreme Court.
Jose Maria Valencia, provincial legal
officer, said if the decision of Agrarian
Reform Sec. Rafael Mariano does not favor
the provincial government, “we will go to
the Court of Appeals and the SC.”
Valencia statement’s came in the heels
of the dialogue between Mariano and Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. Aug. 13, 2016.
The meeting happened after Mariano
held a dialogue with at least 30 farmers
who had been camping outside the provincial capitol since July 15 to protest the
province’s purchase of a piece of property
which they said should have been covered
by Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and given to them.
The province bought the Hacienda Ilimnan property in Murcia town, Negros Occidental from the Arguelles family in 2010 to
be used as cattle and sheep ranch, now known
as Negros First Ranch under the provincial
government’s Food Security Program.
But Danilo Tabura, leader of the group
of farmers, said the purchase deprived the
farmer-beneficiaries of a piece of land to
till since the hacienda should have been
covered by CARP.
Tabura said of the 159 hectares purchased
by the Capitol for the ranch, at least 97 hect-
ares should have been covered by CARP.
He said they tried to hold a dialogue
with the governor but the latter refused to
see them.
Tabura said that through their meeting
with Mariano, they hoped that the DAR
would continue the land acquisition and
distribution process in Hacienda Ilimnan.
Mariano said he would rule on the
motion for reconsideration filed by the
province on the DAR decision denying
the province’s petition to exclude the ranch
from CARP.
Valencia said that Tabura is himself is
an agrarian reform beneficiary.
“The land they want to be given to them
was already rejected by the Department of
Agrarian Reform which I told the secretary
about,” he pointed out.
He added that the governor told Mariano
that the project is “benefitting thousands
including ARB’s in the area where they
are already relocated and allowed to plant
rice in a nearby land.”
He also added that aside from relocating the farmers, the provincial government has hired two of them as job order
employees.
“But, I saw the two of them joining
the picket outside the Capitol,” Valencia
said.
He said that the Capitol has conducted
many dialogues with them already in the
presence of DAR representatives.
“It has become personal already as they
are claiming that ‘the cows and sheep’s
are better than them as they are provided
houses than us humans’ “, Valencia said,
“that argument is fit only for those arguing
in the plaza.”
He stood pat on the position of the provincial government that “there is nothing
illegal in the purchase of the property.”
“We have information that as early as
December 2014 there has been an administrative order from the Land Registration
Administration saying that there is no need
of DAR clearance in case the transferee is
a government entity. The Supreme Court
has already resolved for so long that you
cannot acquire property already devoted
to public use for another public use,”
Valencia said.
He called the claim of the protestor’s
that “animals are more important than
humans” as “a myopic and parochial perspective.”
“They are already bending the law for
about 100 individuals because they are
members of the same group. We should
support the government. It does not mean
that when you take over the post, you will
change everything just because you want
change,” Valencia said.
“What is legal should be legal. There is
nothing emotional there. It does not mean
that we are giving preference to the cow’s
and the sheep’s over humans. It has never
occurred in my mind that is how low they
identify themselves. You should have more
dignity than that,” Valencia said.
He also believes that somebody “political motives” are supporting the farmers in
their picket at the Capitol.

11th IB pulled out of Negros,
deployed to Zamboanga
By Dolly Yasa
Bacolod City – The Army’s 11th Infantry
Battalion was pulled out of Negros Island,
Aug. 14, 2016 and transferred to Zamboanga
City.
Col. Francisco Delfin, 303rd Infantry Brigade
commander confirmed the information.
The troops arrived in Zamboanga City on
board a Philippine Air Force C-130 plane.
Delfin said the transfer of the 11th IB to
BACOLOD City – Negros Island Region local government
units (LGUs) should be willing
to share resources with the new
region, said Vice Mayor Gerardo Rojas of Murcia, Negros
Occidental.
Rojas, president of the Vice
Mayor’s League of the Philippines-Negros Occidental
chapter, made the statement on
the sideline of a courtesy call to
Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr.
on Aug. 15, 2016.
Rojas said among the issues
the governor raised during
their visit is the 2017 budget
for NIR.
“The governor said that he
and Negros Oriental Governor
Roel Degamo have discussions
that the cities of the two provinces contribute a portion of their
Internal Revenue Allotment in
2017 to the NIR on a pro-rated
basis. But, we suggested that
even the municipalities should
also contribute. This will show
to those in the national government that we are united here in
Negros,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rojas, a member of the United Nationalist
Alliance, said the VMLP has no
official position if they will join
the ruling PDP- Laban.
“Our members from the
province’s 33 LGU’s come from
different parties but we have
discussed it,” he pointed out.
There is no problem if we
join PDP as it is voluntary on
our part, Rojas said.

The project entails construction of two dam sites in the towns

The project will also ensure

It will also benefit some
1,675 hectares of farms in the

Koscielny’s lack of match
fitness, obliged Wenger to
deploy Calum Chambers and
new signing Rob Holding in
an inexperienced centre-back
pairing.
The hosts also lost Aaron
Ramsey and Alex Iwobi to
injury in the second half.
Having previously seen his
penalty pushed away by Simon

drilling Arsenal into a 31stminute lead.
But Coutinho equalised with
a glorious free-kick in first-half
stoppage time before making
it 3-1 with a neat volley after
Georginio Wijnaldum had teed

Winning start for Mourinho,
Liverpool edge Arsenal
LONDON, United Kingdom – Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored as
Manchester United defeated Bournemouth 3-1 in Jose Mourinho’s
first Premier League game as manager on Sunday, while Liverpool
edged Arsenal in a 4-3 thriller.
Juan Mata and captain Wayne Rooney were also on target at
Bournemouth as United recorded a straightforward win that left
them top of the table after the season’s opening weekend.
Philippe Coutinho scored twice as Liverpool recovered from
falling behind to Theo Walcott’s goal at the Emirates Stadium,
with Adam Lallana and Sadio Mane also on target for Jurgen
Klopp’s men.
“Eric Cantona was here at the best moment in his career. This
guy is more than a player,” Mourinho said of Ibrahimovic, who
opened his United account with a low drive from 25 yards.
Ibrahimovic, a free signing from Paris Saint-Germain, has now
scored on his debuts in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga,
Ligue 1 and the Champions League.
“For the next two seasons I think he can be phenomenal for the
team and the Premier League,” Mourinho added.
Ibrahimovic, 34, said: “It’s important to start good. Being new
to the league is not easy. Everything is new for me: my team-mates,
the clubs, the environment. I just play my game.”
The charismatic Swedish star was handed a competitive full
debut at Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium along with fellow new
signing Eric Bailly.
United’s 89 million pounds (105 million euros, $116 million)
record signing Paul Pogba was unavailable due to suspension.

16 football teams compete
in interschool tourney
By Elyrose S. Naorbe
A TOTAL of 16 football teams are now competing
in the 1st Interschool Football Tournament at the
football field of Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo starting Aug.
13, 2016.
The weekend tournaments, which will run until
Sept. 25, 2016, are divided into three categories - elementary, secondary, and futsal girls.
Sponsored by the Barotac Nuevo Football Club
United in cooperation with the local government unit
(LGU), the activities aim to prepare the teams before
the municipal meets kick off next month.
Tuncer Oezbahar of Vatanspor FC in Germany
also witnessed the opening program and inspired
young Ilonggo booters to work hard in order to
attain their goals and be the best on their chosen
craft.
Two teams from Barotac Nuevo Elementary School
and four teams from St. Paul’s School of Barotac
Nuevo will clash in the elementary category.
In the secondary level, the participants are St. Paul’s
School of Barotac Nuevo, Barotac Nuevo National
Comprehensive High School (BNNCHS) and Don
Bosco of Dumangas.
Tournament organizer Jessie Sazon said the games
are very competitive as all football teams have enough
preparations for the tournament.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
– Floyd Mayweather is on a
scouting mission to sniff out
boxing talent at the Rio Olympics – and apparently believes
he has found a future world
champion in Britain’s knockout sensation Joshua Buatsi.
Mayweather, now a promoter with a growing stable of
boxers, was not in the crowd to
see light-heavyweight Buatsi
seal at least bronze with another virtuoso performance to
reinforce his reputation as the
most exciting fighter to emerge
in Brazil.
But the pair met on Saturday and Mayweather, 39, who
retired last year after going
49-0, had some words of strong
encouragement.
“He just said, ‘You’re a great
fighter, I’ve heard of you before
I got here’, and he said that I
was a future world champion,”
Buatsi, 23, revealed.
“It was good to hear that
from someone like Mayweather, who is the greatest boxer of
our generation that I’ve seen
personally, so it was good to
hear that from the champion.”
Buatsi, who now faces London 2012 silver medallist Adilbek Niyazymbetov of Kazakhstan in Tuesday’s semi-final,
did not put his latest victim
down for a third knock-out on
the trot in Rio.
But he had Abdelhafid

Unlicensed contractors
told to secure PCAB
license, registration
THE DEPARTMENT of Trade
and Industry (DTI)-Iloilo Provincial Office observed that
with the ongoing construction
everywhere in the city and
province of Iloilo in both private and government projects,
it is safe to say that those who
are engaged in the construction
industry are benefiting in the
booming economy of Iloilo.
But how confident are the
project owners that the contractors doing the project are
licensed contractors?
The question is, “Will you allow an unlicensed contractor to
build what could be your most
cherished possession – your home,
or even a commercial building, as
one of your major investments?”
There is a misconception
among the community of contractors that only those contractors dealing with government projects are required to
get a contractor’s license from
the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB).
DTI-Iloilo Provincial Director
Diosdado P. Cadena Jr. said “that
as provided for in R.A. 4566, otherwise known as the Contractor’s
License Law, as amended by P.D.
No. 1746, no contractor (including sub-contractor and specialty
contractor) shall engage in the
business of contracting without
first having secured a PCAB license to conduct business.”
Cadena pointed out that it
is an offense to engage in contracting business without a license first being obtained.
Therefore, all contractors
must be licensed if they should
engage in construction business.
If they decide to bid and contract for government projects,
they must also apply for registration and classification of contractors for government infrastructure
projects. Under such registration,
contractors are classified from
Small A to Large B depending on
the category of their license.
Cadena said that “getting a
contractor’s license before was
a difficult undertaking because
they still need to go to Metro
Manila even just for inquiry on
requirements and check listing/
pre-screening of documents
before they can be officially
accepted by PCAB.”
To address this concern and
to bring its services closer to the
provinces, PCAB, being an attached agency of DTI has designated and trained personnel
in the DTI provincial offices to
assist contractors in complying
with PCAB requirements.
Contractors can now visit DTI
offices to inquire on the requirements or have their documents
pre-screened before their final
submission to PCAB Manila.
Contractors can save a lot
of time, money and effort from
going back and forth to Manila
before their documents can be
officially filed with PCAB.
For inquiries about PCAB
contractor’s licensing and registration, please call DTI-Iloilo Provincial Office at 335-0149 or 3370392 or you may visit the office
located at DTI Bldg., cor. J.M.
Basa-M. Peralta Sts., Iloilo City.
Philippine Q2 GDP grew
by 6.5-7% — economists
THE PHILIPPINE economy is likely to
grow by 6.5 to 7 percent in the second
quarter of the year, mainly driven by
election-related spending.
“We are currently experiencing stable
upward growth. Consumption is steady
and we expect a surge in spending from
the government,” John Paolo Rivera,
program manager at the Asian Institute
of Management (AIM), told GMA News
Online.
Rivera pegged the second-quarter
output at 6.5 to 6.7 percent.
This was mirrored by Dean Cid Terosa of the University of Asia and the
Pacific (UA&P) School of Economics,
albeit slightly higher at 6.6 to 6.9 percent.
“The drivers are the rapid last-ditch
election spending, strong domestic
consumption, and positive remittance
growth. Government spend was strong,
too,” he said in a separate text message.
The highest forecast by Ateneo de
Manila Economics Professor Alvin Ang.
He said the economy, as measured by the
gross domestic product (GDP), could
reach 7 percent in the second quarter
due to election-related spending.
Based on their respective statements of contributions and expenditures
(SOCEs), the presidential candidates
alone spent P1.907 billion during the
2016 election campaign.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)
data placed the money send home by
overseas Filipinos at $2.4 billion in
May. The central bank has yet to release
PSA: Farm output down 2.34% in Q2
THE PHILIPPINE agriculture sector posted a production decline in the second
quarter of the year, dragged
by the prolonged drought
brought about by El Niño
phenomenon.
The value of farm output fell by 2.34 percent at
P379.1 billion in April to
June, data released by the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Aug. 15, 2016
showed.
The crops subsector,
which accounted for 48.31
percent of total output,
dropped 4.97 percent to
P204.9 billion and the fisheries subsector fell by 5.90
percent to 60.2 billion.
“The prolonged dry spell
due to the El Niño phenomenon negatively affected the
production of the crops and
fisheries subsectors. These
losses were not offset by
the increases in livestock
and poultry production,” the
PSA said.
The livestock subsector grew by 6.56 percent at
P63.9 billion and poultry by
1.25 percent at P50.0 billion.
The latest figures from
the agriculture sector were
expected, said Rolando T.
Dy, executive director of the
University of Asia and the
Pacific (UA&P) Center for
Food and AgriBusiness.
Filipino-owned Emperador now
sold in 40 countries worldwide
AFTER 18 months since it started expanding its brand footprint outside the Philippines, Emperador Brandy, the world’s
largest brandy by volume, is now being distributed in 40 countries across Asia, North
America, Africa, Middle East, and Europe.
The brand continues to develop distribution alignments in new markets and it is
aiming to be in at least 50 countries by the
end of 2016.
Meanwhile, E & J Gallo Winery, the
world’s largest family-owned wine producer, has begun distributing Whyte &
Mackay’s The Dalmore, Jura and John Barr
Scotch whisky brands in the US since the
start of this year. Emperador Inc. owns the
Whyte and Mackay Group.
“Because we are now global, we are able
to capitalize on our worldwide distribution
network. We have a full range of brandy
DoubleDragon to acquire
70% of Hotel of Asia, Inc.
Doubledragon Properties Corp. has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake of 70 percent for P832.17 million in Hotel
of Asia, Inc. (HOA), which will serve as the company’s hospitality arm.
HOA is a hospitality firm primarily engaged in the ownership,
operation and development of hotel projects.
HOA booked P113.4 million in net income for the year ended
2015. The stake in HOA will now allow DoubleDragon to benefit from the booming tourism prospects for the Philippines in
the years to come as well as fully optimize the use and value
of its string of prime properties in various strategic areas of the
country.
HOA has established its own brand called Hotel 101 and its
subsidiary holds the master franchise for the Philippines of JinJiang Inn, one of the largest hotel brands in Asia.
HOA currently has two operating JinJiang Inns in the Philippines, the first located along San Miguel Ave. in Ortigas followed by JinJiang Inn-Makati which recently opened along
DoubleDragon/pB2
the second quarter figures.
Moving forward, AIM’s Rivera noted
economic output is likely to be supported by additional spending in the second
half of the year.
“This may be due to actual and
planned public and private spending
under the Duterte administration,” he
said.
Budget and Management Secretary
Benjamin Diokno earlier said the administration wants to increase government spending, with the allocation for
infrastructure at P1 trillion.
In July, the multi-agency Development Budget Coordination Committee
(DBCC) announced a GDP target of 6.0
to 7.0 percent for the whole of 2016.
(GMA News)
and whisky products led by Emperador
and Fundador brandy as well as single malt
whisky The Dalmore and Jura plus Whyte
& Mackay and John Barr blended whiskies that are available in many parts of the
world,” says Winston Co, president, Emperador, Inc.
Emperador achieved a net income of
P3.4-billion in the first half of 2016, up 5.5%
compared to the same period in 2015.
“El Niño effect for crops
and fish. Election driven,
plus over production for
livestock and poultry,” he
said in a text message.
2ND HALF OUTLOOK
This brought the first half
agricultural output down by
3.48 percent. Crops fell by
6.90 percent and fisheries by
5.92 percent, while the livestock subsector rose by 5.60
percent and poultry by 1.12
percent.
With the El Niño finally
over, Dy said the agriculture
industry is likely to recover
in the second half of the
year.
Socioeconomic Planning
Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia
earlier said the government
will zero in on agriculture to
create more jobs and foster
inclusive growth.
Still, Dy noted the fullyear figures may stay flat
year-on-year.
The value of farm output was P788.698 billion in
2015, up 0.11 percent from
P787.835 billion in 2014.
Agriculture accounted for
10 percent of total output
last year, according to the
PSA.
Dy earlier said the agriculture sector needed to grow
by 4 to 5 percent a year to
have an impact on the lives
of the people. (GMA News)

P11.3B net income in 1H
ALLIANCE GLOBAL Group
Inc. (AGI), the investment
holding company of billionaire
Dr. Andrew L. Tan, reported a
net income of P6.08 billion in
the second quarter of this year,
reflecting an increase of 3%
year-on-year and a 15% improvement quarter-on-quarter.
The growth came on the
back of a 3% expansion in
consolidated revenues to
P34.0 billion. Attributable net
income for the same period
stood at P3.95 billion.
For the first half of the year,
AGI’s consolidated revenues
reached P67.1bn while net
income stood P11.3bn and attributable profit amounted to
P7.3bn.
“Amidst intensifying competition, we continue to build
on our strengths while maintaining our cost efficiencies.
That way, we achieve operating leverage as we execute
our growth strategies for our
domestic and international operations,” said Mr. Kingson U.
Sian, president and chief operating officer, AGI.
Megaworld Corporation,
AGI’s flagship property company, recorded a net income
of P3.39 billion in the second
quarter, up 10% year-on-year
and 29% quarter-on-quarter.
The company’s leasing
businesses remained the primary driver of growth as it
sustained its 15% year-on-year
increase in rental revenues
during the quarter, reaffirming its position as the largest
lessor of office spaces in the
Philippines.
For the first half, Megaworld reported net income of
P6.0 billion on revenues of
P23.0 billion.
For this year, Megaworld is
poised to breach the 1-million
square meter mark in terms
of total leasable space, and

Realty Development Corp. (SRDC).
Upon closing of the transaction, Injap
Investments Inc. will be fully divesting
its interests in HOA and consolidating it
at the DD level, while CCBHI and SRDC
will retain 15 percent each in HOA.
The consideration of Injap Investments
Inc. for its shares in HOA will be paid in
DD shares priced at a 5 percent premium
over the 30-day weighted average of the
closing prices of DD common shares preceding closing date of the transaction.
Injap Investments Inc. opted that the
consideration would be DD shares instead
of cash as a sign of its long-term solid
commitment to DoubleDragon. The closing date will be set after the completion of
due diligence.

player in the liquor industry
and the world’s largest brandy
company, reported a net profit

year-on-year and 45% quarteron-quarter.
Sales during the same period grew by 5% from the level

profit rose by 26% quarteron-quarter. This is attributed
to the company’s now more

DPWH to build
evacuation centers
THE Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH) in Region 6 is proposing to construct two evacuation centers.
The projects are in line with the department’s effort to harmonize the design of
the evacuation centers in coordination
with the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC),
Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Science
and Technology (DOST) and Department
of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR).
The locations should be identified by
the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) per region, based on the list of schools provided
by the NDRRMC that are often used as
evacuation center during calamities.
In Region 6, only Roxas Elementary
School located in Brgy. Roxas, Tapaz,
Capiz was identified since it was often
used as evacuation center at least seven
times in the past five years.
Also, DPWH has a conceptual design
and recommended salient features such
as prayer rooms, dining and kitchen area,
breastfeeding room, accommodation
room and storage, toilet and bath for male
and female and the differently abled or
PWDs.
A space for the OCD and Regional
Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Council (RDRRMC) is also included.
The DPWH regional office has already
requested the RDRRMC to identify the
location and provide available government-owned lots with an area of at least
2,000 square meters that are suitable for
the construction of evacuation centers.
The estimated cost for each evacuation
center, which includes different buildings, amounts to P24.814 million under
the General Appropriation Act (GAA) in
2016. (DPWH-6/IO)

School workers
affected by K to 12
get help from DOLE
AS PART of its effort to raise awareness on the Department of
Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Adjustment Measures Program (DOLE-AMP) and Allied Services, the labor department
and partners is set to conduct advocacy campaign in all provinces in Region 6.
DOLE-AMP is part of the government’s effort to mitigate
the impact of the K to 12 Program implementation on Higher
Education Institutions (HEIs) personnel during the transition
period.
It aims to provide support to displaced HEI teaching and nonteaching personnel in their transition to self or full-time employment through financial support, employment facilitation, and
training and livelihood.
The campaign kicked off in Aklan on Aug. 11 followed by
Capiz on Aug. 16, Antique on Aug. 18 and Iloilo/Guimaras on
Aug. 31.
The topics to be discussed will include the Joint DepEd-TESDA-CHED-DOLE Guidelines on Republic Act 10533; scholarship and other grants; and K to 12 DOLE-AMP and Allied Services.
It will also cover topics on Green Lane of the Department
of Education (DepEd); TESDA Programs and Projects; and Entrepreneurship and Development Program of the Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI).
Participants in this activity will come from the various HEIs
affected by the implementation of the K to 12 Program.
DOLE-6 Officer-In-Charge Salome O. Siaton said the activity
will provide knowledge to and help the displaced workers avail
of the various assistance under the program.
Siaton said she is grateful with DOLE’s partnership with
other government agencies such as the DepEd, Commission
on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA), and DTI which resulted in
the integration of the different programs/projects and services to
assist displaced HEI personnel in their transition to self or fulltime employment.

What if Bea, Gerald get
back together? Zanjoe reacts
MANILA – Zanjoe Marudo has finally reacted to the
rekindled friendship between
his former girlfriend, Bea
Alonzo, and the actress’ exboyfriend Gerald Anderson.
During the press conference of “Tubig at Langis” on
Saturday, Marudo said it is
good that Alonzo and Anderson have become friends again
since they were estranged for
six years following their separation in 2010.
Marudo also hinted that he
has nothing against Alonzo
and Anderson if ever they get
back together.
“Mabuti ‘yun para sa kanila. Kung meron man silang nararamdaman ngayon,
maganda ‘yun para sa kanila,
‘di ba? Parang kapag paguusapan mo ‘yung nakaraan
nila, ‘di ba parang medyo
mahirap ‘yung pinagdaanan
nila? Mabuti ‘yun at least
open sila. Makakagalaw sila.
Lahat ng pwede nilang gawin,
pwede nilang gawin,” he said
as quoted by entertainment
site Push.
When asked if he still has
feelings for Alonzo, Marudo said: “Ngayon wala na.
Masasabi ko na talaga parang
okay na ako. Okay naman
ako.”
Marudo, however, clarified that he and Alonzo do not
have any ill feelings toward
each other.
“Okay naman kami. Kapag
nagkikita kami sa mga event,
nagpapansinan kami. Friends,
parang ganon, parang normal
na single,” he explained.
Following their breakup
more than eight months ago,
Marudo said he is now happy.
“Yung estado ng puso
ko, masasabi kong masaya,
masayang-masaya. At ako
ngayon ayaw kong i-pressure
‘yung sarili ko sa kahit anong

Topline growth was driven by a 21% jump in net gaming revenues to P5.61 billion as volumes increased across all segments,
accompanied by an improved win rate.
Non-gaming revenues also went up 7% to P920 million
helped by high occupancy rates of 87% across its three hotels (Maxims Hotel, Remington Hotel, and Marriott Hotel Manila).
In addition, the Marriott Grand Ballroom, which is the largest
hotel ballroom in the country, contributed another P93 million
in revenues for the period. For the first six months of the year,
Travellers recorded net income of P1.8 billion on net revenues
of P12.5 billion.
Golden Arches Development Corporation, which holds the
exclusive franchise to operate restaurants in the Philippines
under the “McDonald’s” brand, reported a sharp 87% yearon-year increase in net income to P307 million in the second
quarter.
The strong growth in profit was driven by the 16% improvement in revenues to P5.64 billion as systemwide same-storesales grew by 10% year-on-year. In the first half, GADC reported net income of P497 million on revenues of P10.9 billion.
“We continue to spend for our massive expansion programs
aimed at further strengthening our industry footing. We are
planting the seeds to ensure our long-term growth in our domestic and global operations. All we need to do is to continue
to execute well,” said Mr. Sian.
DOLE-6..
from p.B6
said CSHP of Contractors engaged by DPWH as contained
in DOLE Department Order
No. 13.
To expedite the approval
of CSHP project, the DOLE
strictly observe the prescribed
5-day process cycle time as
reflected in the guidelines
and, with the pronouncement
of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, this was even reduced to
72 hours from receipt of complete documents.
There are cases, however,
when the applicant-contractor
failed to comply with some of
the documentary requirements
or failed to include other safety and health provisions in the
CSHP thus, causing a delay in
the approval.
Along with the CSHP, the
following requirements should
be attached: 1) Letter of Intent
address to the DOLE 6’s Head
of Office; 2) Duly accomplished Application Form; and
Certified true machine copy of
the following: 3) Compliance
to Rule 1020 of the OSHS; 4)
PCAB License; 5) Invitation
to Bid or Notice of Award (if
government-owned project);
6) Certificate of Training of
Safety Officer on COSH; 7)
Certificate of Training of First
Aider conducted by PNRC;
8) Certificate of Occupational
Nurse (if 51 to 200 employees
to be deployed in the project); 9) Certificate in Testing of Heavy Equipment and
Certificate from TESDA of
Heavy Equipment (It there is
an equipment to be used); and,
10) Certificate from TESDA
of Heavy Equipment Operators (If there is an Equipment
to be used).
Siaton appealed to Contractors especially those with
upcoming construction projects with the DPWH or with
any privately-owned projects
to prepare and submit their
CSHP prior to the start of
their construction activities
for approval/concurrence of
DOLE and for them to strictly
enforce once the construction project is ongoing so that
workers’ safety in the worksite is assured.
bagay kasi sa ngayon committed ako sa sarili ko, sa trabaho
ko, sa family,” he said.

Second choice? Julia
Barretto answers basher
MANILA – Julia Barretto fought back after netizen attacked her
online by pointing out that she was just the second choice to play the
lead role in the upcoming movie adaptation of “Vince and Kath.”
The basher, who uses the Instagram handle itsmekyliej, asked
Barretto how she feels that the first choice for the role was actually Janella Salvador.
The netizen also asked Barretto how she feels “that you are
not as famous as you think yourself to be.”
Responding to comment, Barretto said: “You want to know how it
makes me feel? It makes me feel motivated. To do good, so good, so I
can prove a lot of people who attack me the same way you do wrong.”
Barretto said the netizen’s comment only made her want to
keep trying until she fulfills her dream.
“I will not let this negativity from you get the best of me.
Instead I will thank you. Thank you for being another reminder
not to give up,” she said.
“I will pray for you tonight and hope that tomorrow will be a
better day for you. And I mean it,” the actress added.
Two weeks ago, Barretto told ABS-CBN News that she is excited to work on the film adaptation of a story that started as a
viral hit on social media.
Now titled “Vince, Kath and James,” the movie will feature
Barretto, Joshua Garcia and Ronnie Alonte.
“Kung iba ang ginagawa ko sa serye, ito mas iba talaga. It’s
a dream come true actually because I’ve always wanted to do
a rom-com film. Finally magagawa ko na siya and it’s a light
story,” Barretto said.
Since this is an adaptation, Barretto said she is excited for the
followers of the book to see how she, Garcia and Alonte will
give life to the characters through a movie.
Isabelle busy preparing for wedding in Italy
MANILA – With only a month before
her wedding to fiancé Adrien Semblat,
Isabelle Daza can’t wait to finally walk
down the aisle and say her vows.
However, she revealed that she is still
fixing all the necessary requirements in
order for them to get married at a Catholic
church in Tuscany, Italy.
“Sa ngayon, I need to think of a backup
plan dahil marami pa akong papeles na kulang sa Philippine embassy sa Italy,” she
said in an interview last Saturday. “Dahil
nga ang daming nangyari sa buhay ko, medyo delayed ako sa mga requirements.”
Are they also considering of moving
their wedding day?
“Hindi puwede kasi lahat na nakabook. Almost one month na lang, almost
three weeks. I’m excited for that,” she
said.
Meanwhile, Daza clarified that she
will not be leaving showbiz after she gets
married. She also belied rumors that she
and her “Tubig at Langis” co-star Cristine
Reyes are not friends in real life.
“Cristine and I have a good relationship. We are not the best of friends like I
don’t text her every day pero kapag kail-
angan, I do reach out to her and pati siya,
she reaches out to me. I admire Cristine as
an actress,” she said.
Asked what viewers could expect in the
series’ last few weeks, Daza said: “Alam
mo we gave our 110% sa huling linggo
namin. Parang binigay na namin lahat.
We are so passionate about this project
and we’re so happy with the turnout at sa
mga response ng mga tao. Talagang inaabangan nila.”
“Tuibig at Langis,” which also stars
Zanjoe Marudo, is now down to its last
four weeks.
Compromise will be necessary, even though you’d rather
do things your way at work. Practical goals lead to much
achievement.
Trade back-rubs or foot massages with someone close.
Who knows where it might lead?

Hard work brings a reward. Your efforts bear fruit.
Recognition comes in a financial form.
You feel the push/pull between success in the outer world
and sharing in a committed relationship. Keep time for both
intimacy and work.
A comfortable day at work has strong appeal. Consider
rearranging your working environment so as to be more
attractive.
A new hobby or interest presents itself. Take advantage of
an opportunity to increase your skills.
Spoil your family a bit today. Physical comforts and material
goodies seem extra important. Give yourselves a treat.

Curiosity about how things work is stronger today. Don’t
ask embarrassing questions, but do increase your
understanding.
Today you incline toward financial extremes. Be realistic
and sensible around money.
Relationship and achievement needs seem at odds today.
Keep a balance between love and work and remember
you’re not superhuman.
Be good to yourself. Ease up on your self-criticism and
enjoy life!
Get involved with an organization that can assist you
professionally. Networking pays off.
