Central Luzon • December 17 - 19, 2015 • Thursday - Saturday By Ernie Esconde 2 BALANGA CITY - Senator Cynthia Villar and the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines on Thursday pushed for more protection of wetlands and wildlife which they considered as vital for human survival. “Wetlands are among the world’s most productive environments. The protection of the environment also provides livelihood like in the preservation of mangroves that causes the abundance of marine products,” the senator said. She urged the preservation of wildlife for future generations. “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children,” she said. Villar said the country needs more champions of the environment like the WBCP who will protect watersheds as habitat of birds. Villar was keynote speaker in the 10th Philippine Bird Festival held here from December 9 – 11. Delegates from Asian countries attended the threeday festival. Balanga City Mayor Jose Enrique Garcia III and Dinalupihan town Mayor Gila Garcia welcomed the visitors. The senator expressed the hope that the Balanga City Wetland and Nature Park be included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance, also known as Ramsar list. The Department of Tourism has included Balanga City as among the birdwatching sites in the country. Gina Mapua, WBCP president, said climate change affects not only the migratory and resident birds but all of us. “We must protect our forests and the seashores,” she said. She said that birds should be on trees and not in cages. “They should be free to feed for themselves,” Mapua said, adding that there are 635 recorded species of birds and more to be counted. “Some 235 of this number are endemic in the country, meaning they can only be found in the Philippines,” the WBCP official said. Mapua considered Balanga City as the most successful in treating the migratory birds. “The local government unit and the community joined forces. Tortugas was preserved as wetland park where tourist arrivals rose by 425 percent. There is money in migratory birds as long as the right thing is done,” she said. Tortugas, a seaside village in Balanga City is the site of the nature and wetland park. Along with the villages of Sibacan and Puerto Rivas Ibaba and Itaas, it has been designated as bird watching site. AC TopNotchers!

Photo courtesy of Arnel De Jesus CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Almost 11,000 Bantay Bayan from the 505 barangays of Pampanga had been commended for their efforts in helping the local police in curbing criminalities in the province. This was gleaned during the Year End Assessment of Bantay-Bayan held separately at the Lubao Gymnasium and at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center, this city. Gov Lilia ‘Nanay’ Pineda said the barangay tanods are the “unsung heroes” of the province who do their duties and risk their lives without expecting enough remuneration from the government or sometimes receiving nothing at all. Hence, the governor reiterated his appeal to bantay bayan to continue their efforts in helping their respective communities. “ I am renewing my call for you to intensify your efforts in helping and supporting the province in maintaining peace and order,” the governor told the bantay-bayan. Police Senior Superintendent Rodolfo Recomono Jr. police provincial director said the bantay bayan who serve as force multipliers were instrumental in maintaining peace and order. The Pampanga top cop said the arrest of thousands of drug personalities was possible due to the alertness and information coming from the bantay bayan. “There are several instances that the bantay bayan are helping us in apprehending suspects of criminal offence,” Recomono said. It was learned that 2,000 drug personalities in Pampanga were arrested this year alone through anti-illegal drug operations with the support of the bantay bayan and barangay officials. “This is the result of the intensified anti-illegal drug campaign after conducting more than 600 operations for this year with the help of the force multipliers,” the police director said. Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Regional Director Gladys Rosales said that prices of shabu in the province increased. “From P1, 200, the price per gram of shabu increases to P4, 200. Meaning, many suspects were already apprehended which resulted to the low supply of shabu here in Pampanga,” Rosales said. During the assessment, food packs, slippers and caps were distributed by the governor together with board members Anthony Joseph Torres and Salvador Dimson Jr, Rosve Henson, Ferdinand Labung, Arthur Salalila, Cherry Manalo, Crisostomo Garbo, Gerome Tubig, Teddy Tumang and former board member Fritzie David-Dizon, DILG Provincial Directot Myrvi Fabia, department heads of the Capitol and other local officials. BALANGA CITY - The proverbial last two minutes on the deadline Thursday for the filing of substitute candidates in the May 2016 elections was full of surprises in Bataan. Talks went wild that former chairman Felicito Payumo of the Bases Conversion Development Authority will substitute for Engr. Jason Garcia who filed last October his Certificate of Candidacy for congressman of Bataan’s first district. Many held their breath as Payumo arrived at the provincial office of the Commission on Elections here a few minutes before 5 p.m. while Engr. Garcia was filing his withdrawal of candidacy. Observers were expecting that Hermosa town Mayor Danilo Malana who filed his COC for congressman last October will also withdraw to give way to Payumo, a close ally. But they were wrong. The former BCDA chair and three-term Bataan congressman did not file his COC but instead announced full support to the candidacy as congressman in the first district of Malana. “We are supporting Dan Malana for a good cause,” Payumo said, raising the hands of the candidate. Malana thanked Payumo whom he considered as a good person for the position. This leaves Malana and Geraldine Roman, transgender daughter of outgoing Rep. Herminia Roman, vying for the congressional post in the first district. In Pilar, Bataan, also in the last minutes, Lady Caguimbal withdrew her candidacy as vice-mayor and gave way to husband Marino Caguimbal. Cecilia Garcia filed her CoC as substitute to her father, Emmanuel Garcia who withdrew his candidacy as Pilar town councilor. Earlier, former Partylist Rep. Bethe Santos of the Veterans Freedom Party substituted for her son Eduardo Santos who filed his CoC for mayor of Pilar last October. The son this time filed his CoC for vice-mayor. Bethe will face re-electionist Mayor Alice Pizarro. In Dinalupihan town, former provincial Board Member Lucy Payumo withdrew her candidacy for mayor. She was replaced by former town administrator Fernando Manalili. He will be pitied against incumbent Mayor Gila Garcia. Jopet Inton replaced former Councilor Lou Narciso for mayor of Hermosa, Bataan. Inton will be fighting former provincial Board Member Efren Cruz for the mayorship. –Ernie Esconde Substitution deadline full of surprises in Bataan Hon. Angelica Paras-Quiambao Judicial excellence defined ras-Quiambao administered reforms in the raffle committee and steering employees to perform their duties with discipline and honesty. Even as she made daily hearings de rigueur, dedicating each day to specific cases, thus: Mondays for detention prisoners, Tuesdays for cases which do not need the presence of lawyers and prosecutors, Wednesdays for cases for judicial dispute resolution, Thursdays for civil and criminal cases, and Fridays for sensitive cases such as rape and sexual assault. Time and efficiency clearly factoring in the expeditious resolution of cases in her sala obtaining therefrom. It came then as a matter of course that in September 2013, the Supreme Court, through the Society for Judicial Excellence, conferred on Judge Paras-Quiambao the Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos Award in the Judicial Excellence Awards of that year. The said awards were given to members of the judiciary exemplifying “proven integrity, dedication and commitment to public service and the rule of law.” Two years after – it should have come sooner – it was the turn of her home province to bestow honor on Judge Paras-Quiambao as Most Outstanding Kapampangan Awardee in the field of Judicial Service for 2015. The elements of excellence – from the Supreme Court, and service – from the Province of Pampanga, finding complete expression in Judge Paras-Quiambao. Truly, a source of pride for her people. –Bong Lacson The judge with her MOKA trophy. Photo by Jun Jaso Punto! Central Luzon • December 17 - 19, 2015 • Thursday - Saturday A MILESTONE. No less than the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking hailed the first ever conviction of cybersex operators in Central Luzon. “A triumph of justice, a precedent even,” luded the National Bureau of Investigation who filed the case, “given that most cybersex crime complaints do not prosper in court.” It was in October last year, in no less than Angeles City – trying its darndest best to shed its Sin City image – that cybersex operators Esmeraldo Tejero Amurao and Marlyn Dizon Valencia were found guilty beyond reasonable doubt for qualified trafficking and trafficking in person and meted life imprisonment and ordered to pay their victims P25,000 to P2 million. Handing down the verdict, after nine months of marathon hearings, was Regional Trial Court Judge Angelica Paras-Quiambao. Speed and efficiency in handling cases has always been the hallmark of Judge Paras-Quiambao from her time at the Municipal Trial Court in Clarkfield, Pampanga in 1993, to the RTC where she was promoted in 2001. “She sees that rendering decisions on time is vital in the effective delivery of justice,” said retired RTC Judge Aida Evaile Layug of Judge Paras-Quiambao. “Her well-written and soundly researched decisions are always affirmed by the Higher Court.” A solid evidence there of her degree in Mass Communications, Major in Communications Research from the University of the Philippines, and her being a Dean’s Lister at the Ateneo de Manila University where she finished law in 1986. It was virtually pro bono publico, veritably gratis et amore, that set the legal course of Judge Paras-Quiambao, starting at the then-Citizen’s Legal Assistance Office (now Public Attorney’s Office) of the Department of Justice in 1988. There, she endeared herself to indigent litigants with her “care and compassion for us, as though we were kin and not simply clients.” Fittingly, she was hailed as a “Top Performer” of CLAO. The awards and recognitions have not stopped since, through her stint at the MTC-Clarkfield to the RTC, thus: Best Written Decision Award from the Philippine Women Judges Association, Acknowledgment of Rendition of Gender Sensitive Decision by the Gender Justice Awards, Public Service Award from the Society of Broadcast Journalists, Inc. and Gintong Sikap Award from the Angeles City Lawyers League, to name but some. Through all these honors and achievements, she has maintained, in the courtroom, “a composure of patience, attentiveness, courtesy and impartiality.” And, to her peers and subordinates, remained “humble, conscientious, morally upright.” Serving as Executive Judge of RTC Angeles City from 2007 to 2010, Judge Pa- 3 Parul Book on SF lanterns launched LAUNCHED.

Photo courtesy of Leo Villacarlos CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -The iconic San Fernando lantern, locally known as Parul Sampernandu, which earned for this city the moniker “Christmas Capital of the Philippines” is now in a book all its own. On Wednesday, Parul was launched at the Robinsons Starmills here as a leading even to the epic Giant Lantern Festival (GLF) on Saturday at the same site. From a “simple souvenir program of the GLF that more often than not Is just discarded and left behind after the event,” said Engr. Fer Caylao, chair of the GLF souvenir program committee, “we have decided to make a lasting keepsake by which to remember the event.” Hence, the coffee table book preserving more than the names of the entries to the festival, to include the history and evolution of the iconic lanterns, the mechanics of construction and operations, even traditions attached to the most Filipino of the Christmas symbols. Its very cover, done by Kapampangan artist Alvaro Jimenez, harks back to the traditional art form Letras Y Figuras, the letters of Parul made out of figures in traditional Filipino Christmas scenes against a backdrop of an old church plaza. The visual feast Parul offers is complemented by articles from local journalists Tonette Orejas of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Joey Pavia of Business Mirror and Bong Lacson of Punto! Book editor is Jovi de Leon of Sun Star-Pampanga. With its own ISBN number, a first in the history of the festival, the book is “fit to be placed inside libraries in the country and the world over.” For his part, GLF 2015 Execom Chair Engr. Ernesto Cunanan said “the hardbound edition is a sure keepsake and would serve to further promote interest and attention on the festival and the San Fernando lantern industry.” – Bong Z. Lacson ‘Parul Sampernandu’ sparkles in Xiamen Punto! Central Luzon • December 17 - 19, 2015 • Thursday - Saturday The “Parul Sampernandu” exhibit at SM Xiamen was successfully launched last November 27. The Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen, in cooperation with SM Xiamen, organized the exhibit which showcases lanterns made of capiz seashells handcrafted in the City of San Fernando (CSFP), Pampanga. The CSFP, along with the Giant Lantern Festival Foundation, are the Consulate General’s partners in promoting Philippine 4 Christmas traditions in Xiamen. The last collaboration resulted in the installation of the Giant Lantern in Xiamen’s Annual Lantern Festival last February-March 2014. SM Xiamen Manager Von Aaron Tan, together with Philippine Consul General Julius Caesar A. Flores, pulled the ceremonial curtain to signal the lighting of the lanterns installed at the Corcierge of SM 1 which was witnessed by the mall’s peak hour crowd of around 500 shoppers and guests. The opening ceremony was attended by Mr. Allan Brosas, SM China Head and SM officials and staff, Engineer Roman T. Go, Chairman of the Manila-Xiamen International School (MXIS) and faculty members, Mr. Edward Tenorio, President of Filipino Association in Xiamen (FAX), FAX officers and members, Mr. Aaron Tan, owner of Xia Men Cheng Xing Industry and Trading Co., Ltd, the Consul- ate General’s officers and staff, and members of the Filipino community. The lantern display will run for the duration of the Christmas holidays and Chinese New Year until 19 February 2016. The display is expected to be viewed by at least 60,000 people daily during the holiday periods. SM Xiamen complex (SM 1 and SM 2) is the most popular mall in the city, given its strategic location in downtown Xiamen. –Press release Philippine Consul General Julius Ceasar A.

The ‘Ligligan Parul’ shall be held at its long time venue, host Robinsons Starmills Pampanga as 11 barangays will join this year’s competi- tion that aims to promote the popular cottage industry into the national and international scene. These lanterns are made and funded by the community, aside from P3 million pesos funding subsidy coming from the city government. Lantern makers, electricians and ordinary folk volunteer time and effort to make the lanterns beautiful and up to competition standards. Mayor Edwin Santiago said that they are also focusing on helping the industry penetrate the international market through more quality made lanterns. “Heritage is everywhere; and an understanding of our past is increasingly critical to the understanding of our contemporary cultural context and place in global society. The impending ASEAN integration encourages us to find the niche within the globalized market. What sets us apart from others that would give us the much needed impetus to be different is a model for the contemporary culture that is what is embedded in the giant lantern. The leap on the economy driven by the tourism and trade that is being roused by this major event is the ultimate objective in the merge of heritage and development.” Aside from China, the ‘Parul Sampernandu’ has been in Hollywood in 1993, a year before, at the World Expo in Spain, the Philippines’ embassies and consulates in Canada, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Thailand and the United States, among others. The city’s lanterns had also decorated areas such Austrian landmarks as the Rathausplatz and Ethnology Museum in Vienna, as well as the Stadtturm in Innsbruck, including the Lord Mayor’s House in Dublin and the Good Shepherd Cathedral in Singapore. –Press release 10 arrested for guns, drugs WHAT SIGN?

The real problem of the world today and the Philippines is fighting poverty, fighting natural calamities, or preparing for them if we cannot fight them; to mitigate climate change.” Time to end the infantile intramurals kids. Former President Fidel V. Ramos there knocking some sense into the heads of Digong the Butcher and Mar the Slapper. “My advice, simple: Act like a Philippine President who must be competitive nationally because you will be compared with other Philippine Presidents. But this is now the 21st century, and the Philippine President must be world-class. We are not anymore in the period of Antonio Luna, Emilio Aguinaldo and Andres Bonifacio. Our countrymen should not kill each other, they should unite to develop our nation,” lectured the elder statesman. Indeed, FVR noted, the candidates should realize that the President represents his nation when he/she appears in international meetings such as with the United Nations, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and some other global forums. Imagine what impression the Philippines and its people will give the whole world with one foul-mouthed, mean-spirited, uncouth for their leader! Or a vacillating, blabbering, trying-hard third rate copycat to a discredited model! Yeah, man up, boys. Pugilism is no definition of the presidency. 6 Beware “LET US give the benefit of the doubt to the people directly concerned. Let the people decide.” Said FVR on the disqualification cases before the Commission on Elections lodged against frontrunners Rodrigo Duterte and Grace Poe. “We may end up with only one candidate for President if we follow this process of elimination, which is not [how] the people want it,” said he, not without some warning.

Lacson NOW ANY society in which most of the people are poor is always in danger of having its political authority corrupted and dominated by the rich minority. In the Philippines, the real power lay back of the shifting factions, in the hands of a few rich families strong enough to bend Government to their will. This oligarchy intervened in government to preserve the political privileges of its wealth, and to protect its right of property. This intervention of wealth in politics unavoidably produced corruption. And when this practice seeped through the whole of society itself, the result was moral degeneration. So the Philippine political culture equated freedom with self-aggrandizement, and the politics of participation, so essential in a democracy, with the pursuit of privilege. Oligarchic “values” permeated society all the more easily because the rich controlled the press and radio-TV. The press particularly became the weapon of a special class rather than a public forum. The newspapers would noisily and endlessly comment on the side issues of our society, but not on the basic ones: for example, the question of private property. The oligarchic propaganda was that somehow, with the election of “good men” – good men who please the oligarchs – mass poverty would come to an end. The search for “better men in politics” and not institutional change; a “higher political morality,” and not the restructuring of society – this was the oligarch’s ready answer to the question of change. Revolution from the Center, 1978 q q q MORE OFTEN the politician neither legislates nor administers so much as he intervenes and mediates. He achieves a personalized relationship with his constituents as individual persons, more anxious about doing things for each of them rather than for all of them. A bridge, a school, or a rural development project, although important, is not enough. Has he been approachable? Has he managed to place a son in a Manila office? Where was he when a fire broke out or a typhoon came? How personally generous has he been with the needs of certain influential leaders? If he fails in these personalist tests, he fails as a politician. Are the people to blame for this state of affairs? Hardly, for conditions are such that the majority depend on the government. But are the politicians, who are simply responding to the situation as they see it? I would say Yes. Within the undeniably practical limits of political survival, politicians can and should try out some innovations that will transform the political culture from being populist, personalist and individualist to being more nationalist, institutional and socialist, in the strict meaning of being more conscious about the needs of society and the national community… One reason for the pervasiveness of corruption is that in being part of the system, everyone it touches seems to benefit…The corrupt politician who is at the same time accessible to his constituents has more chances of staying in power than an honest one “who has not done anything.” He probably takes his legislative or executive work more seriously, concentrating on collective goals to the detriment of political “fence mending,” but he is more often judged by the populist, personalist and individualist standards of the political culture. A true politician should be able to lead his constituency in a precarious present toward an uncertain future, but he dare not initiate or innovate unless he can be sure it will not cost his position. It is easy to condemn him for lack of moral courage, but what good is a businessman without a business, a politician without policy? “I must see where my people are going so that I may lead them,” an Athenian politician was supposed to have said. There are certain conditions, however, in which this attitude cannot be a useful principle of democratic leadership. Today’s Revolution: Democracy, 1971 q q q CONTINUING RELEVANCE of things written over a generation ago – from media monopoly to patronage politics – reflecting the constancy and consistency in the praxis of Philippine politics. Aye, in the rut the nation has consigned itself, getting deeper at each change of administration. Can’t blame some succumbing to nostalgic sentimentalism: “Marcos, now more than ever!” Today in Philippine history Source: www.kahimyang.info Graciano Lopez Jaena is born in Jaro, Iloilo On December 18, 1856, Graciano Lopez Jaena, one of the pillars of the Reform Movement during the Spanish occupation, was born in Jaro, Iloilo. At a young age, his religious mother sent him to a seminary in Jaro, feeling that priesthood was the noble profession for her son. However, his study of religion and the atmosphere in the seminary did not prevent him from unleashing his energies against the oppressors of his country and people. His frequent visits to the poor and ordinary people in the remote areas made him realize how bad their living conditions were under the Spanish rule. Lively and intelligent, he took writing early in life and produced a tale entitled “Fray Botod” in 1874. The satirical novel ridiculed the friars as abusive, cruel, lazy, greedy and immoral, who spoke of saintly verses but could not see their own wrongdoings. This infuriated the Spanish clergy and Lopez Jaena was forced to leave for Spain to study medicine (which he did not finish) at the University of Valencia to avoid threats to his life. In Spain, from huge gatherings (social and political clubs), he bravely spoke about the evils of the Spanish rule in his country; denouncing vigorously the role of the friars in introducing and maintaining obscurantism in the Philippines and in obstructing progress of the people. Historians regard Lopez Jaena, Marcelo del Pilar and Dr. Jose Rizal as the triumvirate of Filipino propagandists. He was one of the founders and editors of La Solidaridad in 1888, which served as the mouthpiece of the Filipinos in Spain. As editor, Lopez Jaena did not receive any salary. His only compensation was free lodging, meals, clothing and a little pocket money for trivial expenses. He also wrote in many publications in Europe, where his name became famous as the “Fighting Filipino Journalist” abroad. His obsession to free his country sapped his physical strength, until he died of tuberculosis on January 20, 1896 in Barcelona, Spain. This was followed by the death of Marcelo H. del Pilar on July 4 of the same year, and of Dr. Rizal by firing squad on December 30, thus ending the great triumvirate of Filipino propagandists. Halo-halo Ding Cervantes Nuclear war? The world never had such means of communications that have changed with speed universal moral perspectives. From the movies to internet videos and games anyone can play in one hand, levels of morality have shifted in lamentable evolution. In many supernatural apparitions of these days, the message is that mankind is headed for punishment (books refer to “chastisement”) and, although still can be mitigated by prayers and other forms of penitential acts, cannot be lifted anymore. As the day of reckoning approaches, Jesus Christ, the Blessed Mother, and the other saints have been in a seemingly frenetic mode appealing to all to prepare, alongside admonitions on how to. Last Dec. 4, Jesus Christ reportedly conveyed the following messages through Brazilian mystic Pedro Regis: “Children, at this instant I bless all of you, especially those who strive to be humble and in their strife they subdue the human ego, they subdue the human ego which causes hubris, disgruntlement, arrogance, and disobedience in men.” With these words, the Lord tells us how to spiritually prepare for the future. (Please note that to avoid redundancy, I have skirted the word “alleged” or “allegedly,” amid deference to the Catholic Church’s final decision on mystical events in our days, including that of Pedro.) Jesus also revealed some developments in our times: “The elites who hold the world power were created by the antichrist. These elites represent one single power that has been given the prerogative to make decisions regarding the directives issued for humanity, causing pain to My children, especially because of the dominance of this elite over the nations which are used to suit its convenience.” It’s almost like hearing militants waving red flags and chanting slogans against those who advocate one world government, World BankInternational Monetary Fund, although I’m not saying Jesus was referring to these institutions. Jesus, through Pedro, also advised the faithful to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist, and that our times are in a hurry. He said: “Beloved children, you must receive Me in the Eucharist, you must pray and meditate on everything I announce; do not wait any longer. Remain attentive to the movements that are not disclosed before humanity, those that are minimized in small letters by those who do not want My People to wake up.” And then this lament: “At this instant, so many of your brothers suffer because of the war, because of religious persecution, ungratefulness, torture, and famine! And those who have everything are centered on themselves without thinking about their fellow beings.” This warning from Jesus: “Famine will come and it will not distinguish between social classes because of the contamination caused by man through nuclear energy, fierce scourge of humanity.” This nuclear warning confuses me, because elsewhere, the Blessed Mother was quoted to have said there would not be any World War 3. But then, the Blessed Mother might have meant there would be no such war as expected in a certain period of time. On the other hand, the nuclear warning conveyed to Pedro could mean that the war would be localized or confined to a portion of the world. Further on the war, Jesus told Pedro: “This instant is the one I have announced and about which My Mother has warned you revealing to you all that was necessary to avoid what this generation will have to face. Man has turned a deaf ear to Our Will and therefore he has suffered more than he should. As the effects of the world war intensify, and due to advances in science—particularly in nuclear weapons— humanity’s suffering will be greater than it was in previous wars. Man disobeys without thinking about the consequences brought on by this action.” “Because of man’s indifference towards Me, he will have to face his own mistakes and examine himself by Divine Mercy in order to save souls. Those who are close to Me and to My Mother must be the most humble, not the hubristic creatures who judge their brothers. And man must guard himself against these hubristic men because when, out of hubris, one of these moves away from where he serves Me, he takes his brothers by the hand to cause fissures in My Works and to take some brothers with him in order to hide his mistakes,” the Lord added. Jesus also told Pedro about the coming of the antichrist: “My Church is attacked and not only spiritually. You know that this instant when the demons prepare the reign of the antichrist, the diversity of ideas will lead to a serious internal discussion within the bosom of My Church. Rampant modernism will cause great suffering to all humanity and, taking advantage of the instant of disturbance and confusion, will penetrate into the hearts of the great nations with great force.” Napaguusapan Lang Felix M.

Central Luzon • December 17 - 19, 2015 • Thursday - Saturday O pinion 7 Media hit CSF cop chief for ‘arrogant, abusive behavior’ From page 1 (I don’t care even if you are from the media…),” Fajardo reportedly shouted. Jimenez said Fajardo even tried to shove them away. Jimenez was with photojournalist Jojo Due at the time of the incident to confer the “Darling of the Press” Award. Members of the press, led by the PPC, have earlier chosen the Darling of the Press for the traditional annual award given by the media at the coronation night. “But instead of listening to our request, she arrogantly shouted at us and even tried to shove us away,” Jimenez complained. Fajardo’s arrogance reportedly rises out of her alleged claims of being “untouchable” because of her alleged closeness to the Pineda family. She was the chief-of-police of Lubao town prior to her assign- ment here, earning media attention when she had her head shaved in the aftermath of the Mamasapano massacre of 44 PNP Special Action Force troopers. Meanwhile, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines-Pampanga Chapter (NUJP-Pamp.) has PGKM backs CIAC execs over hotel row From page 1 ecutives should not be cowed into submitting to the dictates of anybody including politicians in order to maintain the viability of the Clark airport as the next premier international gateway of the country that is free from the problems besetting the heavily-congested Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila. “Only airport-related industries should be allowed in the Clark civil aviation complex,” Cruz averred. In a statement released to the media over-the-weekend, former Angeles City mayor and Pampanga Rep. Carmelo “Tarzan” F. Lazatin lambasted CIAC President- CEO Emigdio “Dino” Tanjuatco III for his alleged apathy and favoritism which runs contrary to the “Tuwid na Daan (Straight Path)” of the national government. Lazatin, now chairman of the Amalgamated Builders and Contractors Inc. which operates the Hotel Stotsenberg and Casablanca Casino in Clark, said “there is no clear process in leasing the idle property owned by the Clark International Airport Corporation contrary to what its CEO Emigdio Tanjuatco III claimed.” Lazatin was reacting on Tanjuatco’s statement that there is no favoritism and that they have a process that is being implemented for leasing properties. Lazatin said his company has signified its intention to join the bidding but more than one year had passed and not even the initial stages of the bidding process happened. “As far as we know, there is a time table for the bidding,” Lazatin noted. “Nasaan na ang tuwid na daan (Where is the straight path)? I thought they are adhering to the tuwid na daan’ of the President? Korba-korba ang daan, hindi pa natin nakikita (The road is not only crooked but we can’t even see it),” Lazatin lamented. Earlier, Lazatin assailed CIAC Marketing Officer Jesus Abelardo “Jay” Punzalan for allegedly “giving them the runaround” in connection with the planned leasing of three buildings under the control of the CIAC. Lazatin said Punzalan had failed to allow them to operate “the idle buildings beside our hotel despite following the laws and the instructions and recommendations.” 4 roads, 2 bridges closed...

The agency also said that Barangay Bueno and Bagud bridge in Barangay Sta. Lucia, both in Capas, Tarlac were likewise not passable to all types of vehicles as of yesterday morning due to high river water level. The RDRRMC maintained “blue alert” status in Central Luzon yesterday despite the departure of Typhoon Nona even as another tropical depression entered the Philippine area of responsibility. “This means at least 50 percent of our personnel should be ready to respond to contingencies at any time,” Office of Civil Defense Regional Director and RDRRMC Chair Josefina Timoteo said. She said: “We have already alerted and advised all local DRRM Offices within our area to activate their respective Emergency Operations Center and submit report on any untoward incidents.” Meanwhile, National Power Corporation (NPC) announced it released water from Angat Dam in Norzagaray, Bulacan starting 8 a.m. yesterday. “The discharge of water is due to continued rise in water level as it had already reached the spilling level of 212 meters above sea level. There is a need to release in order to ensure that Angat Dam remains safe,” NPC said. Approximately 100 cubic meters per second would be released and NPC assured that this would not cause flooding. “Nonetheless, we advise the local governments and residents within the periphery of the Angat River to make the necessary preparations,” it added. National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), on the other hand, reported sustained tripping in the following lines in Central Luzon: Bongabon-Baler 69 kV line (Dingalan, San Luis, Maria, Baler, Dipaculao Aurora) which tripped at 12:09 p.m., Cabanatuan-Bulualto-San Isidro 69kV line 2 (NEECO I- San Isidro, Gapan, San Antonio, Jaen and Cabiao, Nue- Lazatin said what is worse is that they are receiving reports that the CIAC is waiting for a favored foreign investor to lease the buildings. “As far as I know, we local investors deserve equal treatment but the CIAC is playing favorites to a reported generous foreign firm,” he added. Lazatin in a letter to Tanjuatco said his firm is willing to invest a minimum of P100 million and provide employment for some 300 persons. He offered to lease the buildings and the area for the next 25 years with a minimum guaranteed lease of $1.60 per square meter. “The escalation of the minimum guaranteed lease for the property shall be 10 percent compounded every five years thereafter,” Lazatin said. –Ashley Manabat va Ecija) which tripped at 2:44 p.m., and Aliaga Substation of NEECO II-Area 1 (Aliaga, Nueva Ecija) under Cabanatuan-Pantabangan 69kV line which tripped at 4:33 p.m. “We have energized the Cabanatuan-Pantabangan 69kV line, except Aliaga Substation of NEECO II-Area 1,” NGCP Central Luzon Corporate Communication and Public Affairs Officer Ernest Lorenz Vidal said. NGCP will resume line patrol along Bongabon-Baler 69kV line tomorrow. “Cabanatuan-Bulualto-San Isidro 69kV line 1, and Aliaga Substation of NEECO II-Area 1 remain unworkable due to high rainwater level in the area,” Vidal added.

Its Miso base goes with only the best and the freshest ingredients. “We offer everything authentic,” said Apolinario. Yakitori Binchotan The Yakitori Binchotan is also straight from Japan’s food capital, Sapporo, where Yakitori is grilled using Binchotan, a special kind of charcoal found only in Japan that brings out its taste. For Yakitori Binchotan and Ramen Sora, Gerry’s has partnered with popular Japanese chefs Yoshinari Ichise, Tomio Takada and Norio Suzuki who have successfully expanded their restaurant chains in Japan, the US and now the Philippines. –A. Manabat joined the PPC in condemning the arrogant behavior of Fajardo. NUJP-Pamp. said Fajardo should be more circumspect in dealing with the media especially in official functions. “Her arrogant behavior should not be tolerated before it could escalate into another condemnable incident towards the press,” the media union said. The Metro Angeles Journalists Association, Inc. (MAJAI) also joined in condemning Fajardo. MAJAI president Jay Pelayo IV said Fajardo’s arrogant behavior should be nipped in the bud. Pelayo said there is no room for unprofessional policemen or policewomen in a progressive society like this capital city which prides itself as “The Habitat of Human Excellence.” Calls to Fajardo for her side were unanswered as of press time.

Central Luzon: December 18, 25, 2015 & January 1, 2016 The Gossipmiller Cesar Pambid Anabelle Rama nagsulat na ng libro Nabasa na ni Eddie Gutierrez ang libro ng misis niyang si Annabelle Rama na Day, Hard (Lakas ng Loob, Kapal ng Mukha)! ng ABS-CBN Publishing na out na exclusively sa National Book Store at Powerbooks outlets. Nakapaloob sa nasabing libro ang life experiences ni Tita Annabelle, lalo na pagdating sa love, mga payo niya sa mga kababaihang nalilto sa pag-ibig, trabaho, pera at iba pang aspeto ng buhay. Siyempre, hindi pwedeng hindi ma-touch ang tungkol sa pagmamahalan nila ni Tito Eddie, kung paano niya ito ipinaglaban sa mga babaing gustong umagaw, kung paano siya nagtagumpay sa pagmamahal ng mister at pati ang lovelife ng mga anak niya, partikular na nga ang unica hijang si Ruffa Gutierrez, kasama sa libro. Kwento ni Tita Annabelle sa book launch held last Tuesday sa 9501 Restaurant ng ABS-CBN, binigyan na siya ng kopya ng libro a few days ago. “Hindi ko alam kung ipapakita ko ba kay Eddie or isa-shock ko na lang siya kasi baka ’pag nabasa ni Eddie, magalit naman siya, papa-cancel naman niya, kaya sabi ko, ‘ay, kailangan ’to ’pag malapit na, ’pag na-print na ang mga libro.’ “Two days ago, nabasa na niya. Kagabi, hindi ako kumikibo kasi nakita ko na ’yung libro sa harapan ko, ‘nakita kaya ni Eduardo ’tong librong ’to?’ Nandoon pa naman lahat ang sinasabi ko. “So, tinatanong ko ’yung maid, ‘nagbasa ’yan ma’am, maghapon diyan, binabasa ’yan,’ (sabi ko), ‘ah, ganu’n ba?’ Hindi pa rin ako kinikibo (ni Eddie). “This morning, sabi ko, “Eduardo, may presscon ako mamaya sa ABS-CBN, ’yung aking libro, nabasa mo na ba ’yan?’ Sabi niya, ‘grabe ka, naaalala mo lahat, wala talagang ano.’ Sabi ko, ‘Hindi ka ba galit, Eduardo?’ Sabi niya, ‘dapat hindi mo na sinama si Ruffa, lagi na lang si Ruffa isinasampol mo.’ “Sabi ko, ‘Eduardo, hindi pwedeng walang Ruffa, kasi sa kanya ko nakikita ’yung ’andiyan sa libro. Bakit ayaw ko ng foreigner? Nakikita ko ’yun kay Ruffa, ginugulpi siya ng foreigner niya. Matigas ang ulo niya, nagpabuntis sa foreigner. “Sabi ko, ‘huwag ka magpabuntis kasi ’yung foreigner na dala mo sa bahay, pipi, hindi nagsasalita, mayroon pang dalawang interpreter na kasa-kasama, o papa’no ko siya kakausapin? Interpreter muna bago niya sabihin kay Yilmaz (Bektas, ang Turkish na ex- husband ni Ruffa). “Kaya sabi ko, ‘Eduardo, hindi pwedeng hindi kasama si Ruffa riyan, siya talaga ang sampol ko palagi dahil siya naman ang kasama ko almost 24 hours. “Alangang magbanggit ako ng ibang mga pangalan ng mga kaibigan ko na hindi ko naman alam kung ano ang ginagawa sa bahay nila,’” mahabang kwento ni Tita Annabelle. Pero dahil maganda raw ang book, natawa na lang si Tito Eddie at hindi na nakuhang magalit. “Maganda raw pati caricatures, maganda. Sabi ko, ‘happy ka, Eduardo?’ Sabi niya, ‘may magagawa pa ba ako? Nandiyan na ’yan.’ Kung aawayin niya ako, wala naman siyang magagawa. Sabi ko, ‘na-publish na, mayroon na nga akong presscon mamaya.’” Ano naman ang reaksyon ni Ruffa? Nabasa na ba niya? “Hindi pa nga, ’day, eh. Pinapa-order ko nga siya ng 200 copies. Kailangan sabay-sabay kasi ’pag isa lang mabasa, baka hindi orderin. Sabi ko, ‘igi-gift wrap ko na muna Ruffa, para pagbigay mo (sa friends), nakagift wrap na.’ “Sabi niya, ‘what’s inside the book?” Sabi ko, ‘mag-i-enjoy mga kaibigan mo, hindi ka magsisisi, P175 lang, maganda pa, masarap basahin.’ Sabi niya, ‘ano ’yan, mommy?’ Sabi ko, ‘about myself lang,’ pero hindi niya alam, kasama siya roon. “Ayaw ko nga siyang bigyan ng sample, baka hindi umorder, eh. Kukunin ko muna mamaya ang tseke niya, idi-deliver ko sa kanya para talagang sure, walang bawian. “I’m sure, magagalit na naman ’yan, kasi nasali ko na naman siya.” Pero aniya, ang lahat ng pinayo niya sa libro ay nauna na niyang ipinayo kay Ruffa. Pero talaga raw matigas ang ulo nito at hindi siya sinusunod. “Kung sinusunod mo lang ang nanay mo, Ruffa, magiging maganda ang buhay mo sa lovelife mo. Until now, wala pa rin siyang matinong lovelife kasi hindi siya gumagaya sa akin. Kaya sabi ko sa kanya, ‘basahin mo na ang libro ko Ruffa, maganda ’yan.’” As of now, okay naman daw sila ni Ruffa. As we all know, lagi niya itong nakakaaway. “Kasi, alam niyang hate na hate ko ’yung boyfried niya, so, hindi na niya ipinapakita sa akin. Hindi ko nga alam kung nandiyan pa or umalis na,” sey ni Tita Annabelle. Basta raw hindi lang ipapakita sa kanya ang guy, okay na sa kanya since hindi naman niya mapigilan ang anak sa pakikipagrelasyon dito. “Ngayong Pasko, sabi ko, huwag mong dalhin sa bahay ’yan kung nandiyan man siya. Para walang gulo, walang away.” AlDub ilalagay sa Walk of Fame Sina Alden Richards at Maine Mendoza ang mga nangunguna sa listahan ng mga magkakaroon ng bahagi sa Walk Of Fame sa December 1 sa Eastwood sa Quezon City.

Gone is her sexy figure when she was launched in “Gigil” and was FHM’s Sexiest Woman for two consecutive years when she had a 24-inch waistline. “Naku, ten years ago na ‘yun, ano?” she laughs. “These days, I’m no longer that obsessed na maging sexy. That time kasi, sarili ko lang ang iniisip ko. Ayokong tumaba, gusto ko laging sexy ako. Konting gain ng weight, gym at diet na ako. I’m not like that anymore. May baby na ako. Three years old na si Katy. Mas inuuna ko muna lahat ng needs niya bago ang sarili ko. As a mom, siyempre, siya ang priority ko. Nasa stage na siyang sobrang nakakatuwa kasi nakakapagsalita na. Kaya lang, ang unang word na nasabi niya, papa. Eh ako itong araw-araw kasama niya. Masakit ha. Pero okay lang, ama naman niya ‘yun. Magkalapit lang ang bahay namin kaya lagi siyang nabibisita. Dahil sa anak ko, nagkaroon ng mas konkretong direction ang buhay ko.” So is there no chance of her reconciling with Katy’s dad, singer Kris Lawrence? “Huwag na. Okay na ‘yung friends kami at nagtutulungan for our child.” So is she dating anyone? “No. At hindi naman ako naghahanap. Okay na kami ng anak ko. Sa Christmas, uuwi kami sa El Nido sa Palawan dahil nandun ang mommy ko at mina-manage ang resort niya roon.” She was the villain to Marian Rivera in the first “Marimar”.

I love my own. Heto nga, back to kontrabida ako as Jasmine in ‘Destiny Rose’ kaya marami na namang galit sa’kin dahil sa pang-aapi ko kay Ken Chan. Pero ‘yung fans ngayon, sinasabi nila, we love you, Kat, but we hate you as Jasmine. So at least, alam nilang uma-acting lang ako. Abangan n’yo dahil grabe ang sampalan scene namin ni Ken this week. Susugurin ko sila ni Fabio Ide at magseselos ako kaya sasampalin ko siya. At gaganti na siya. Sobrang kaba ko before we shot the scene kasi sabi, totohanin namin. Eh, ang laki ng kamay niya, ‘no?

(CIAC) has a new vice president after Reynaldo “Reycat” Catacutan resigned from his post to substitute his brother in the mayoralty race in Capas, Tarlac. Businessman Jose M. Flores, Jr., aka Jojo Flores, said he was surprised when CIAC President-CEO Emigdio “Dino” Tanjuatco III appointed him to replace Catacutan. Flores recalled that it was in the first week of November when he was approached by Tanjuatco who asked him if he could replace Catacutan as CIAC VP. “Are you serious, it’s no longer April Fools’ Day and it’s now the Christmas season are you joking me? Is this a big joke?” Flores said in reaction to Tanjuatco. “You know very well that I am a businessman and I am already retired for the past three years,” Flores told Tanjuatco who, he said, was very persistent. Flores said Tanjuatco told him that his being a Kapampangan and a prominent businessman more than qualify him for the job. “I want you to help me,” Flores quoted Tanjuatco as saying. –Ashley Manabat Christine Marie C.
