ang hatid ng parangal na
ipagkakaloob ng Harvard
University Kennedy
School of Governance kay
Susan “Toots” Ople matapos ang 80 sa 90 araw na
pangangampanya bilang
senador.
Tatanggapin ni Ople,
bunsong anak ng yumaong Senador Blas F. Ople,
ang “Harvard University

sa isang seremonya na
isasagawa sa bakuran ng
tanyag na pamantasan na
matatagpuan sa Cambridge, Massachusetts,
sa Estados Unidos kung
saan siya nag-aral at nagtapos noong 1999.
Ang nasabing parangal at isang pagkilala sa
kontribusyon ng batang
Ople upang mabawasan
at mapigil ang human trafficking, isang adbokasiya
na kanyang sinimulan halos 10 taon na ang nakakaraan kung kailan siya
ay nagsilbi ring chief of
staff ng kanyang amang
senador na umakda ng
Labor Code ng bansa
noong dekada 70.
“Isang
malaking
karangalan ito at isang
napapanahong inspirasyon,” ani Ople na mula pa
noong Pebrero ay kasama na ng Nacionalista
Party sa pangangampanya sa ibat-ibang panig ng
bansa.
Ayon kay Ople, ang
parangal mula sa Harvard
University ay isa lamang
pagpapatunay na siya ay
may nagawa at napatunayan sa kanyang sarili.
“It’s an all expenses
paid trip, pero nakakahinayang lang, kung kailan
nagbibilangan ng boto ay
saka ako aalis,” ani Ople.
Sinabi rin niya na
posibleng makatulong sa
kanyang kampanya bilang senador ang parangal dahil ito ay nagpapatunay na hindi siya

Pagkamatay ng kanyang ama noong Disyembre 2003, itinayo ng batang Ople ang Blas F.
Ople Policy Institute na
ang pangunahing layunin
ay mabigyang proteskyon ang mga OFWs, partikular na sa mga illegal
recruiter.
Ang illegal recruiter ay
ang mga taong nagpapadala ng mga OFW sa ibayong dagat, ngunit wala
namang tiyak na trabaho,
kaya’t ang nagiging resulta nito ay “human trafficking.”
Dahil sa pagtutok ni
Ople sa kalagayan ng
OFW, ilang illegal recruiter na kasapi ng malalaking sindikato ang kanilang
naipadakip.
Kabilang dito ay ang
isang Singaporean na
nagpapadala ng mga
OFW sa Malaysia, na dinakip at kasalukuyang
nakapiit doon.
Mahigit sa 100 OFW
ang nabiktima ng nasabing Singaporean.
Kabilang din sa
nadakip dahil sa pagtutok
ni Ople ay ang isang Filipinang Immigration agent
na nagtatrabaho sa Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) sa
Clark Freeport sa Pampanga na nakabiktima ng
libo-libong mga OFW na
pinangakuan ng trabaho
at ipinadala sa Malaysia
Ang nasabing Pilipinang Immigration agent
ay nakilalang si Rachel
Ong. Siya ay kasalukuyang nasa kustodiya ng
National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), at umamin
na umano sa kanyang
mga illegal na gawain.
Sa kanyang pag-amin,
sinabi ni Ong na ang kanyang trabaho sa sindikato ay aalalayan at ihatid
ang mga OFW pasakay
ng eroplano matapos na
dumaan sa kanya ang
mga ito upang rekisahin
ang mga dokumento.
Ayon Ople, inamin ni
Ong na dahil bayad na
ang mga bawat OFW na
dadaan sa kanya, ay pinababayaan niyang makaalis ito ng bansa kahit
kulang ang mga dokumento.
Inamin din ni Ong na
kumikita siya ng P3,000
hanggang P5,000 sa bawat isang OFW na kanyang maihatid sa eroplano.
Bukod dito, inamin din
niya na kung minsan ay
mahigit sa 20 OFW bawat
araw ang kanyang naihahatid sa eroplano, kaya’t
sa kanyang halos tatlong
taong pagtatrabaho sa
DMIA ay lumalabas na
libo-libo na ang kanyang
napalusot at nabiktimang
OFW.
Sa panayam ng Punto kay Ople, sinabi niya
na natukalasan lamang
nila ang operasyon ng
sindikato sa DMIA ng
mapansin nila na ang mga
OFW na naloko at pinauwi ng bansa ay sa DMIA
dumaan noong sila ay
papunta sa Malaysia.

Chinese Language
Teaching starting June
2010, it was announced by AUF
president Atty. Joseph
Emmanuel L. Angeles.
As one of the major
projects of the Confucius Institute at AUF
(CI-AUF), the program
aims to graduate highly
competent Chinese
language teachers to
meet the demand for
Chinese language
instruction both here
and abroad. Quality
instruction is ensured
by a faculty roster
composed of Chinese
teachers from Fujian
Normal University
possessing graduate
degrees and rich
professional experience. Fujian Normal
University is AUF’s
partner institution and
one of China’s most
prestigious teaching
universities.
The program also

SUBIC FREEPORT – A leading
aviation school based in Clark has
extended its operations here as they
expect more foreign students to enroll
in both campuses.
Ben Hur Gomez, chairman and
president of Omni Aviation Corp.
(OAC), made the announcement during
the soft opening of the Omni-Subic
facility on Monday attended by Subic
Bay administrator Armand Arreza.
Gomez said the opening of the
Omni-Subic pushed their investment in
both schools to some P100 million.
He disclosed that most of their 140
students are foreigners and they
expect to get more enrollees.
Gomez said they now could
accommodate 60 more students or
200 total students in two Omni
facilities.
In an interview, Arreza said the
opening of the Omni-Subic “would
complement the developments of both
freeports and this is good.”
“That’s the way it should be,”
Arreza added.
Gomez said the facility at Subic
would ensure the continuous practice
of students even when there is a bad
weather in Clark.
He disclosed that they have 21
Chinese students and they have to
finish their flying lessons in four days.
“So if they are prevented from flying
due to bad weather in Clark they still
can do it at Subic which is just an
hour away from Clark,” added Gomez.
Gomez said Omni “is the best
aviation school in the country without
reservations.”
“This is so because we don’t dupe
our lessons. When we say he flies
alone, he really did. When we say 120
hours, that will be it and no minute will
be removed from it,” added Gomez.
The Omni-Clark, which opened in
1994 with one plane, now has 22
planes. They also have 14 “competent
and licensed” teachers, said Gomez.
“And we have six others who assist
our teachers,” he added.
Bongbong: Education budget...
FROM PAGE 1
education this year, according to Marcos. The
country’s national budget
for this year is about P1.3
trillion.
“The budget is just
about 16 percent of the
total budget. This is not
enough,” said Marcos, who
was welcomed by at least
eight former and incumbent mayors of Pampanga and Clark International
Airport Corp. (CIAC) Pres-
ident and CEO Victor Jose
Luciano.
Marcos said that the
budget should be used not
only for building classrooms and paying the salaries of teachers but for
teachers’ seminars and
trainings. The purchase of
modern learning facilities
like computers for students should also be prioritized.
Marcos said that as
former three-term governor
of Ilocos Norte, he had
seen the problems of education in their province.
He said public school
teachers had to sell all
sorts of items even during
class hours because of
low pay. Their salaries are
often delayed too, he added.
“So we made cooperatives for teachers in Ilocos
to help them get what
they need financially and
allowing them to concentrate on teaching,” said
Marcos.

MAY 2 went by quietly, overshadowed by the hoopla
of Labor Day.
It appeared that only the City of San Fernando
remembered the significance of that day – May 2,
not only to Pampanga but to the whole Philippines.
May 2 marks the martyrdom of Chief Justice Jose
Basco Abad Santos, caretaker of the national
government of the Republic at the time of the
Japanese Occupation, foremost Kapampangan.
In the great epochs of the history of the Philippines,
Abad Santos stands shoulder to shoulder with
national hero Jose Rizal: what the latter was to the
Spanish colonialists, the former was to the Japanese
imperialists.
A vignette of history from the website
Kapampangan Heroes: At the outbreak of World War
II, President Manuel L. Quezon temporarily moved
the seat of Philippine government to the USA.
Together with Vice President Sergio Osmena and
other cabinet members they escaped by submarine
from the invading Japanese Imperial Forces as
General Douglas MacArthur transferred his general
headquarters to Australia to re-organize the Allied
Forces. Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos chose to
remain in the Philippines as caretaker of the national
government administration in the Philippines. The
Japanese Military Command repeatedly
approached him to make him pledge allegiance to
Japan and to the Japanese flag but he did not swear
in. A Japanese colonel and his troops overtook him
in Lanao and he was told that he would be shot to
death if he would not swear allegiance to the
Japanese flag. He did not comply with the request
of the Japanese so he was shot by firing squad.
Immortal of the heroic moment were Abad Santos’
parting words to his grieving junior: “Do not cry,
Pepito, show these people that you are brave. It is an
honor to die for one’s country. Not everybody is given
that opportunity.”
On the 68th anniversary of his martyrdom, only
Mayor Oscar Rodriguez and his city remembered
Abad Santos.
“Don Jose Abad Santos’ life is takes parallelism
in today’s political firmament. The ultimate sacrifices
have to be made for integrity and nationalism.
Precisely what our citizens need for emulation,
precisely what our leaders need for virtues. Precisely
to be ever remembered” So spoke Rodriguez after
laying a wreath at the foot of the Abad Santos
monument at the Heroes Hall.
So we remember: Unhappy is the land without
heroes. But cursed is a nation who forgets its heroes.

WHAT WAS promised as a lasting legacy of the Macapagal-Arroyo
presidency has been delivered as a monumental failure.
The Terminal 2 project at the Diosdado Macapagal International
Airport, projected to be finished by the time President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo steps down on June 30, 2010 has yet to find a
winning bidder.
What has been hailed as one fulfillment by the dutiful daughter
of the caduang apag (second serving) promise to the Kapampangan
of the Macapagal father has proved half-cooked.
The Terminal 1 project at the DMIA projected to be inaugurated
by the President on her last birthday as President – April 5, 2010 –
is only 60 percent complete, way past her deadline of completion
that was after 90 calendar days from its commencement on
December 15, 2009.
So what gives with these monumental failures to launch the
DMIA to world class status?
In the case of T-2, the all-or-nothing fixity of
the Clark International Airport Corp. Chairman
Nestor Mangio on the Kuwaiti firm Al-Mal/Kharafi
not only to develop the new terminal but take
the whole civil aviation complex so bogged down
all other bidding considerations resulting to a
two-year stalemate. That ended finally with the
President herself ordering the Kuwaiti firm be
stricken off the list of T-2 prospects.
And for Mangio’s obstinate insistence on the
Kuwaiti proposal – despite the opposition of the
Office of Government Corporate Counsel and the
CIAC Board for its apparent betrayal of national
sovereignty – has apparently paid off with its
past-midnight appointment as chair of the SubicClark Alliance for Development. But that is
another controversy.
On the Terminal 1 expansion project, no less
than one of the sub-contractors has termed it as
“an example of a successful failure.”
As in T-2, a problem of contractors obtain with
T-1, AG Araja for the latter.
“There are proofs showing that the CIAC
makes on-time payments to AG Araja. But it
does not do its share with the sub-contractors.”
So was the sub-contractor quoted by this paper’s
Joey Pavia in his story Monday.
It was this failure of T-1’s principal contractor
to pay the sub-contractors that caused the
project to lag way past its targeted date of
completion.
Another sub-contractor I talked to deplored
AG Araja’s “total indifference – walang malasakit
– to the Kapampangans, be it with the terminal
or with the sub-contractors.”
An observation affirmed by the other subcontractor thus: “Why did CIAC have to give it
to a contractor from Laguna when there is an
extravagance of equally if not more competent
contractors in Pampanga…A Kapampangan
contractor would make sure of completing the
project on time, knowing that it is a legacy of
the Kapampangan president for her people. His
pride and honor would ensure that work will be
best, if not fast...King caduang apag na la mu
talaga ding Kapampangan (Are the people from
Pampanga just good for second serving?)”
As in T-2, so in T-1: the very stewards of CIAC
at odds with one another in their perception of
how things should work.
Mangio is said to have wanted the contract
with AG Araja terminated in the wake of its failure
to complete the T-1 project on time and go about
its completion “by administration.”
CIAC President and CEO Victor Jose Luciano
reportedly favoring an extension for AG Araja until
such time T-1 is completed, thereby earning the
ire of the sub-contractors who promptly labeled
him “coddler.”
In the meanwhile, the DMIA is fast becoming
what the Pinoy Gumising Ka Movement chair,
Ruperto Cruz, called it to be: Dead Macapagal
International Airport.
Yeah, the flagship project of the President at
half-mast signifying its death, as the subcontractor witticised.
Agra-cadabra,
Agra-biyado kami
KINONDENA
ng
mga
mamamahayag sa Bulacan
noong Biyernes, Abril 23 ang
desisyon ni acting Justice
Secretary Alberto Agra na palayain ang dalawang kasapi ng
pamilya Ampatuan na sangkot
sa Maguindanao Massacre
kung saan ay 57 sibilyan ang
pinasalang kabilang ang 32
mamamahayag.
Para daw may mahika si
Agra. Aba, iyan ang “Agra-cadabra.”
Ayon kay Agra, wala daw
probable cause para isangkot
sa nasabing kaso sina dating
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Gov.
Zaldy Ampatuan at Mamasapano Mayor Akmad Ampatuan.
Sabi ng mga mamamahayag, “Agra-biyado kami.”
Hiling ng mga mamamahayag sa Bulacan, dapat tanggalin sa puwesto si Agra na
ilang linggo pa lamang na naitatalaga ni Ate Glue bilang
Secretary of Justice.
Sigaw ng mga mamamahayag “kons-AGRA-do ni
GMA, alisin!”
Hindi bago sa Bulacan si
Agra. Ayon kay dating Provincial Administrator Gladys Sta.
Rita, kaibigan nila ito dahil sa
minsan ay nagsilbing election
lawyer nila si Agra. Bukod
dito, nagsilbing abogado rin ni
dating Gob. Josie Dela Cruz
si Agra nung sampahan ng
kasong libelo ang grupo nina
Joey Munsayac.
Hmmmn, mayroon palang
“Agra-rian fans” sa Bulacan.
Meron ding “Agra-bida” sa
Bulacan o mga taong kumontra kay Agra lalo na noong huling bahagi ng 2007 kung kailan naging mainit ang usapin
hinggil sa P11-B proyektong
Bulacan Bulk.
Kabilang sa mga “Agrabida” si ay Bise Gob. Willy Alvarado na nakipagsagutan kay
Agra sa Max Restaurant kung
saan nagpulong noon ang
Sangguniang Panglalawigan.
Sa panahong iyon, si Agra
ang kinatawan ng gobyerno sa
Regulatory Board ng Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) dahil
siya ay nasa Office of the So-
Puntong
Bulacan
Dino Balabo
licitor General (OSG).
Si Agra naman ang pinuno
ng OSG habang dinidinig ang
kaso ng ibinasurang Lone District ng Malolos sa Korte Suprema. Ang OSG ang nagsilbing abogado ng Commission
on Elections (Comelec) sa
petisyong isinampa ng pamilya Aldaba ng Malolos laban
sa lone district ng Malolos.
Gabay sa pagpili
ng alkalde
ANG MGA sumusunod ay magsisilbing gabay sa pagpili ng
magiging akalde (o mayor) ng isang bayan o lungsod:
Hard to Get
Joey Aguilar
1. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na hindi nakikita sa city hall at
lumalabas lang sa mga lansangan kapag panahon ng eleksyon.
Walang utang na loob. Pagkatapos ihalal ng tao noong 2007 ay
nagtago na. Sinasabi umano niya na bawat taong gusto siyang
makita at makausap ay humihingi lamang ng pera.
2. Huwag bumoto ng mayor, na kagaya ng isang humahabol
na pangulo, ay naliligo sa dagat ng basura dahil hindi
makapagbayad ng utang sa Kalangitan landfill.
3. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na may kasamang drug pusher
at drug addict sa kanyang line-up.
4. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na
kinukunsinti ang kanyang mga “aso” este tauhan
na pinagkakakitaan ang mga manggagawang job
order. Nililista ang pangalan ng kanyang mga
kaibigan na mga coaches sa payroll sa city hall
pero hindi naman pala ibinibigay ang sweldo
kundi kanyang sinosolo. Nung umamin na may
“ghost” employees nga siya ay wala namang
ginawang aksyon ang kanyang amo. “Birds of
the same feather flock together” ika nga ng
kasabihan.
5. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na nag-go-golf
at nagsusugal sa Macau habang ang kanyang
mga nasasakupan ay binabagyo ni Ondoy.
6. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na
nagdedemanda ng libelo sa mga mamamahayag
na naglalantad ng kanyang pagnanakaw sa
gubyerno.
7. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na bumibili ng
motorsiklong nagkakahalaga ng P1.2-million
kada isa (hindi naman Ducati o BMW), pero ang
tunay na halaga ay nasa P500,000 lang. Halatang
masyado ang kanyang kagarapalan.
8. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na “pinapatay”
ang mga pasyente sa Ospital Ning Angeles dahil
walang ibinibigay na sapat na pondo para pambili
ng gamot.
9. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na dini-delay
ang sweldo at hindi ibinibigay ang bonus ng mga
empleyado sa city hall.
10. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na kinokotongan ang mga imbestor na gustong
magnegosyo sa lungsod. Umaabot ng P15milyon hanggang P25-million ang kotong na
hinihingi niya kaya sa San Fernando sila nagiinvest. Wala kasing kotongan doon.
11. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na
nangungutang ng P812.6-million upang
makapagpatayo ng sabungan… este sports
complex kesa bigyan ng sapat na gamot ang
Ospital ning Angeles.
12. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na walang
anumang ibinigay na suporta sa mga atleta ng
lungsod.
13. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na
nagsasabing pera lang ang katapat ng bawat
botante sa lungsod lalo ng ngayong panahon ng
eleksyon.
14. Huwag bumoto ng mayor na habang
nangangampanya sa mga bahay-bahay ay
namimigay ng tig-P200 na naka-sobre. Milyonmilyong piso ang kaniyang nakurakot
pagkatapos ay P200 lang ang ibibigay sa inyo
para iboto siya?
Update sa pulitika:
Inaabangan parin ng mga tao ang kalalabasan
ng labanang Mayor Boking Morales at ng
kanyang anak na si Marjorie Morales-Sambo.
Ngunit wala paring independent at credible na
survey na magpapatunay kung sino ang lamang
sa dalawa. Pero ayon naman sa mga tauhan ni
Mayor Morales,
Nakinig ako sa isang caucus ni Blueboy sa
barangay Virgen Delos Remedios noong Linggo
ng gabi. Sa tatlong humahabol na alkalde sa
lungsod ng Angeles, siya lamang ang walang
inilatag na plataporma de gubyerno. Wala din
siyang sinagot sa mga isyu ng korapsyon at sa
kasong plunder (na katulad ng kaso ni Erap) na
isinampa laban sa kanya sa Ombudsman. May
aasahan pa ba tayo sa kaniya?
Mababakas din ang kalungkutan sa mukha
ni Blueboy at ng kanyang mga kaalyado nang
gabing iyon. Maging ang kanyang pagtawa at
pagsasayaw ay tila pilit din. Alam na natin kung
ano ang dahilan.
Lalo pang lumalakas si Councilorable Rey
Nacu Gueco habang papalapit na ang eleksyon.
Mula sa number 10 ay pumanhik siya sa number
7 sa huling survey ng ilang mga estudyante. Si
Councilor Rudy Simeon naman ay lalong
bumaba pa at nasa number 18 na lang. Madami
din kasi umano ang dismayado sa kanya lalonglalo na ang kanyang mga ka-barangay sa Virgen
Delos Remedios. Para ding si Blueboy, kapag
eleksyon doon lang umano lumalabas.
Sa lungsod naman ng San Fernando,
masasabi kong walang katalo-talo si Mayor
Oscar Rodriguez. Ngayon ay model city na ang
San Fernando sa buong Pilipinas dahil sa
mabuting pamamahala, sa kalinisan, sa pagiging
business-friendly, sa pagkakaroon ng oportunidad
sa lahat ng estudyante na makapag-aral ng libre,
at sa marami pang bagay. Kaya hindi na
kailangan pang gumugol ng madaming salapi si
Rodriguez sa kampanya dahil sa kanyang mga
nagawa. Kabaligtaran naman ito ng nangyayari
sa lungsod ng Angeles. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit
maghahalal ng bagong alkalde ang mga
Angeleños.
TODAY IN HISTORY
The first American in space
ON MAY 5, 1961, From Cape
Canaveral, Florida, Navy Commander Alan Bartlett Shepard Jr.
is launched into space aboard
the Freedom 7 space capsule,
becoming the first American astronaut to travel into space.
The suborbital flight, which
lasted 15 minutes and reached
a height of 116 miles into the
atmosphere, was a major triumph for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA).
NASA was established in
1958 to keep U.S. space efforts
abreast of recent Soviet
achievements, such as the
launching of the world's first artificial satellite--Sputnik 1--in
1957.
In the late 1950s and early
1960s, the two superpowers
raced to become the first country to put a man in space and
return him to Earth.
On April 12, 1961, the Soviet space program won the race
when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
was launched into space, put
in orbit around the planet, and
safely returned to Earth.
One month later, Shepard's
suborbital flight restored faith in
the U.S. space program.
NASA continued to trail the
Soviets closely until the late
1960s and the successes of the
Apollo lunar program.
In July 1969, the Americans
took a giant leap forward with
Apollo 11, a three-stage spacecraft that took U.S. astronauts
to the surface of the moon and
returned them to Earth.
On February 5, 1971, Alan
Shepard, the first American in
space, became the fifth astronaut to walk on the moon as
part of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission.

CDC won’t pay PNCC, firm for Sacobia Bridge
CDC counsel
absent
The decision noted that
the CDC “failed to present
its evidence during the
hearings set on 20 August
2008, 3 September 2008
and 20 October 2008.”
“CDC’s counsel even
failed to appear or send
representative during those
hearings,” it furthered. “In an
order dated 3 September
Untenable
“The contentions of
CDC are untenable. These
assertions came too late in
the day, as the matters
being tediously presented
are of factual nature, and
should have been proffered
during the proceedings at
the OGCC. The OGCC
Panel of Arbitrators is a “trier of facts on specific matters within its field of expertise” and they are “in a
better position to assess
and evaluate the credibility
of contending parties and
the validity of their respective evidence (Capanela vs.
NLRC, 241 SCRA 643)”
Thus, the Office of the
President “after careful and
thorough evaluation and
study of the records of this
case…agrees with the
DOJ and the OGCC Panel of Arbitrators” and affirmed “in toto” their judgment.
On Feb. 3, 2010, the
CDC filed a “petition for
review on certiorari before
the Court of Appeals docketed as CA-GR SP No.
112732.
The April 7, 2008 decision of the OGCC Arbitration Panel however noted
that: “There being no restraining order issued by
the Honorable Court of
Appeals in the Petition for
Review on Certiorari entitled “Clark Development
Corp. vs. Philippine National Construction Corp.
joined
by
Ciriaco
Corp,”…with respondent
itself not even praying for
the issuance thereof, the
execution of the subject
Decision is in order.”
The arbitration panel
likewise stressed that
“…during the mediation
conference held on 6 Jan.
2009, at the OGCC, presided by the Hon. Alberto
C. Agra, then government
corporate counsel, and
attended by the respective
presidents of petitioner
PNCC and respondent
CDC, the latter undertook
to pay the former’s unpaid
billings and submit a written proposal computation
on how it would settle the
awardb of foreign currency adjustment, in accordance with the subject
decision.”
“Wherefore…the Motion for Execution dated 17
Feb. 2010 filed by petitioners is hereby GRANTED.
Respondent is ordered to
pay petitioners thye judgment award in the Decision dated 18 Dec. 2008.
SO ORDERED” concluded the decision signed by
the OGCC arbitration panel
composed of Raul Ragandang as chairman and
Belen Salumbides and
Giovanni Calma, members.
Background
On Feb. 14, 1997, the
PNCC and the CDC entered into a memorandum
of agreement and later on
PGMA ‘very happy’ to leave presidency

PUNTO! CENTRAL LUZON • MAY 5 - 6, 2010 • WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY
layo, who once was the
spokesperson of the
President’s Kampi party,
Department of Agriculture
assistant secretary Clayton Olalia, Energy Regulatory Commission chairperson Zenaida Ducut,
Guagua Mayor Ricardo
Rivera, and Floridablanca
Mayor Ed Guevarra.
Guagua and Floridablanca are within Pampanga’s second district
where Mrs. Arroyo is running for Congress in the
May polls.
Perry Pangan, who
was recently appointed
by the President as chairman of the government
6
NBN Channel 4 television
station, acted as master
of ceremonies during the
press conference.
“Very happy,” was the
President reply in an ambush interview with local
journalists at Clark as she
hurried towards her car after guesting at the forum.
At noon on June 30,
the President steps down
from the post she held for
nine years.
During the forum,
former Subic-Clark Alliance for Development
Council chairman Edgardo D. Pamintuan praised
the President for her accomplishments at Clark
and Subic freeports.
“Even the strongest
critics of the President
have conceded (on the
President’s accomplishments at the freeports),
although perhaps grudgingly,” Pamintuan said, as
he cited a 115 percent increase in investments in
Clark and 67 percent increase in Subic from 2000
to 2009.
Pamintuan also cited
a 179 percent increase in
employment at both Clark
and Subic since 2000.
In San Fernando, Marcos said the presence of
allies of the Arroyo administration in his press conference did not necessarily mean they were also
backing the presidency of
NP presidential candidate
Sen. Manny Villar, in an
apparent move to defuse
the so-called Villaroyo
speculations that Villar is
the real candidate of the
President.
Marcos said that political ties these days have
already thinned, and that
political support to candidates has become more
personal.
He also said he had
invited allies of the administration to discuss what
could be done to help people in Pampanga and
“also to talk about the
campaign.”
For her part, Ducut
said she dropped by the
press conference “only to
say hello.”
PCOS testing deferred to May 7
FROM PAGE 1
not know how the machine
provider Smartmatic-TIM
would do this in the event
that on May 7, many
PCOS machines malfunction in various provinces all
over the country as they
did during the tests in
Metro Manila and Southern Tagalog region.
The Comelec initially
authorized precincts to
test PCOS machines anytime from May 3 to 7 before they are resealed to
be opened only on election day, Perlas said.
Tests conducted at precincts in Metro Manila indicated that some PCOS
machines failed to read
votes cast for some candidates. In some areas,
only the names of Arroyo
administration candidates
registered in the ma-
chines.
“It’s a technical problem that we are not an
expert about. But we were
told the Smartmatic will
assign one technician per
precinct on election day to
take care of any problem
with the PCOS machine,”
he added..
Perlas also said that
the other reason cited by
the Comelec central office
in deferring the testing of
PCOS machines is that
some of them have not yet
been delivered to their precincts. “Some are still in
their provincial hub, but
they are supposed to be
deployed to the precincts
by May 6,” he said.
He also said he expected that extra PCOS
machines will be on standby in about 7,000 clustered precincts in Central
Luzon as replacement for
those that will malfunction.
However, it is not clear
exactly how many PCOS
machine spares would be
delivered per province.
Perlas also said that
the Comelec central office’s directive to limit the
time allotted for each voter to fill up his ballot could
be problematical in the
case of illiterate Aeta or
other groups who have
also registered for the coming polls.
“I can finish with my
ballot in five to six minutes, but I can not say this
about other people, especially those who are illiterate,” he said.
In telephone interview,
National Commission on
Indigenous People’s
(NCIP) Executive Director
Masli Quilaman said some
8.5 million indigenous peoples (IPs), including those
who have remained illiterate, registered for the
country’s first automated
elections this May.
Quilaman said he has
directed field personnel of
the NCIP in the regions
ensure assistance to illiterate IP’s so that they
could be assisted by relatives in voting.
Perlas said his office
has no statistics on how
many IP’s are registered
voters in his region, but
noted that the law allows
illiterate voters to be assisted by any relative up
to first cousins. No literacy statistics was immediately available from the
NCIP.
In the absence of any
such relative, a member of
the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) is authorized to assist them, he
added. –Ding Cervantes
a supplemental agreement
dated Feb. 28, 1997 for the
pre-design, design and
construction of a 910meter, 3-lane bridge called
the Sacobia Bridge with
the maximum contract
price of P700 million “subject to price adjustments
on the variation orders/bills
of quantities ‘following the
applicable provisions of
PD 1594 and its implementing rules and regulations as amended.”
On Aug. 8, 1997, the
PNCC engaged the services of Ciriaco as its subcontractor for the project.
Ciriaco was one of the prequalified contractors that
CDC endorsed to PNCC
The PNCC prescribed
a period of completion 360
calendar days from the
“notice to proceed” dated
July 5, 1997.
CDC reportedly requested Ciriaco to provide
an interim financing of
P250 million to jumpstart
the project to give the stet
firm the time for find a funding source.
The PNCC and Ciriaco
alleged in their petition
that despite the difficult
time in finding interim financing for the project as
its start coincided with the
devaluation spurred by the
Asian financial crisis, it did
so with the assurance that
the CDC board was “fully
cognizant of the Asian currency crisis, (and) is amenable to an adjustment of
the Sacobia Bridge Project
contract price.”
The completed project
was turned over to the
CDC on June 10, 1998,
well within its projected
date of completion.

Dingdong-Marian panis na loveteam
DIYOS KO, day, ano ba ito, pilit tayong
binibigyan ng feeling na nakakakilig ang
loveteam nina Dingdong Dantes at
Marian Rivera sa kanilang pelikulang palabas na ngayon.
Wrong, hindi po sila nakakikilig, dahil bukod sa panis na
sila ay gurang na. Kumbaga,
malayo na sa edad na kakikiligan pa sila.
Take note, both are nearing
thirty years old kaya talagang puwedeng sabihing panis na sina
Dingdong at Marian. Also, take note,
sobrang hina na ng rating ng latest
teleserye nila, di ba? Pinaghiwalay
na sila sa ilang proyekto and that simply meant na hindi na sila epektibo.
Biglaang pinatay yung huling teleserye nila dahil di na nagre- rate.
Tapos ayan, may pelikula na pinaglumaan na ng panahon ang tema, kikiligin ka pa.
Ewan, basta di ako kinikilig sa mga
panis na ito, no!

Mula doon, nagbilang na kapuwa ng kadyugdyugan ang dating
magdyowa dahil nga pareho namang number one sa mga entities
na kanilang kinaaniban.
Lately, nga, ayon sa source, nagkaroon ng chance na
magkita’ng dalawa. Kumbaga, nanariwa yung nakaraan nila.
Nang ikuwento ito sa amin, wala pa naman lang sa hinagap na gagawa sila ng isang pelikula. Heto na ngayon, on
the go ang project and we could just imagine na muling
nabuhay ang ang kanilang romansa.
Noon nga kasi, kung hindi lang napigilan si babae,
sumama na raw sana ito sa isang gabing pagyaya sa
kanya ng dating katipan. Gusto niyang muling
madama’ng sarap ng bawat gabing nagtatalik sila
noon.
Kaya ngayon, heto na halos araw araw na silang
magkasama. Hindi kaya paminsan-minsan, tumatakas sila’t pinagsasaluhan ang tamis ng romansang
matagal nilang hindi nadama?
Clue? Ay, wag n,a magagalit ang mga dioyosa
ng romansa.
Yun na!

2008, the Arbitration Panel
granted for the last time
CDC’s motion for the resetting of the case, with a
warning that in the event it
failed to present its evidence on the next scheduled hearing (on 20 Oct.
2008), respondent’s right to
present evidence shall be
considered waived and the
case shall be deemed submitted for decision based

It added: “CDC claims
that 1) the OGCC decision

awards representing foreign currency adjustment,
progress and the final billings, and legal interest.

DTI to confiscate school supplies
with toxic elements, lewd designs
PUNTO! CENTRAL LUZON • MAY 5 - 6, 2010 • WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY
BY DING CERVANTES

CLARK FREEPORT –
Trade and Industry Sec.
Jesli Lapus said he has
ordered the confiscation of
school supplies with toxic
elements or with designs
what are lewd or too violent.
This, even as Lapus
also assured parents they
have nothing to worry
about the cost of school
supplies for their children.
He said manufacturers
of basic school needs
have assured him that
they will observe the suggested retail prices (SRP)
of the Department of Trade
and Industry (DTI).
Lapus said the SRP in
the last school year have
not been altered.
But in an interview with
Punto here the other day,
Lapus also warned: “Yung
mga toxic na supplies,
yung mga masasagwang
cover ng notebooks, bawal yan. (Those toxic supplies, those inappropriate
covers of notebooks,
these are prohibited).”
Lapus noted that some
notebooks being sold for
school use have almost
naked photos of women,
while others exhibit violent
pictures.
“Yung mga ayaw nating ipakita sa mga anak
natin, huwag natin ibenta.
(What we don’t want our
children to see we should
not sell). We will make the
rounds and confiscate
these,” he said.
He urged parents to
buy products indicating
their manufacturers so as
to avoid buying toxic ones,
such as crayons.
Lapus also said that
parents have “nothing to
worry on the cost of
school supplies.” He said
that manufacturers have
assured to maintain the
same suggested retail
prices (SRP) of pencils,
ballpens, notebooks, pad
papers and other basic
school supplies that prevailed last year.
“Two months before the
school opening, I want all
these school supplies positioned in all channels of
distribution,” he said, adding that he has already
required the posting of prices at school supply stores
nationwide.
Lapus also reminded
manufacturers to make
sure that their pad papers
and notebooks indicate
their manufacturers’
name, address, and the
number of leaves or pages of their products.
“Those without these
information would be presumed as smuggled and
would be up for confiscation, too,” he noted.
At the same time, Lapus also said that the next
president of the Philippines would not have problems in terms of foreign
investments, as the Arroyo administration has
already firmed up commitments of many foreign
companies.
Lapus noted that already, the government has
approved for this year’s
second quarter alone a
700 percent increase in
investments over the same
period last year. At export
zones, committed investments have also increased
by a hundred percent, he
added.
He cited the case of a
Japanese firm as Subic
Bay freeport where it has
committed an expansion
project worth $300 million.
“We’re talking of billions of
pesos in investments this
quarter,” he noted.
