PAGASA-XI alerts public on effects of the El Nino By Joey Sem G. Dalumpines

DAVAO City -- A meteriologist of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astrological Services Administration in Region 11 confirmed the occurrence of the El Nino Phenomenon in the country affecting Davao Region. Engr. Gerry Pedrico, chief weather forecaster of the PAGASA 11 said based on their latest monitoring that hot weather condition is going on, characterized by unusually warm ocean temperature in the Central and Eastern Equitorial Pacific since the last quarter of 2014. He said a weak El Nino is in progress and will likely to affect the amount of rainfall in many parts of the country in the coming months. “Imp a c t s i n c l u d e warmer temperature in varying degrees from

place to place and from time to time,” Pedrico said. He said the country can still experience the existing number of tropical cyclones from 19 to 20 typhoons each year. Pedrico said that because of this development, the dry condition advisory issued last year is currently upgraded to El Nino advisory. “All agencies are advised to promote precautionary measures to mitigate the potential adverse impacts,” he pointed out. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte cited the need to supply water to the irrigation system particularly in Toril area where drought is gradually felt. He welcomed the advice to come up with a mobile tanks to supply water to dry areas. Duterte said the highest source of water in the ALERTS | page A5

PDEA 11 sues alleged drug syndicate member wife charged for possession of P400K shabu

AVAO City - The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in Region 11 filed drug charges against a former municipal councilor and alleged member of the international drug ring 14-K and his wife earlier caught in possession of an estimated P400,000 worth of drugs.

Named resp ondents in the case for violation of Republic Act 9165 or Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 were Marco Kadir Bua and his wife, Z enaida, both tagged as alleged leaders of Bua Drug Group operating in Davao City. Marco, a former municipal councilor of Kabuntalan, Maguindanao, was reportedly a member of 14-K international drug syndicate and listed as priority target of the Philippine Drug Enforcement

Agency (PDEA) in Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The couple was arrested at their residence at No. 95 Kingfisher Street, St. Michael Subdivision,

in Ma-a at 6:30p.m last March 15, by virtue of an arrest warrant issued by Judge George Jabido of Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 18 in Cotabato City. Seized from the couple’s p oss ession was a sachet of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu with an estimated weight of 50 grams valued at some P425,000. Based from their investigation, PDEA XI spokesperson Noli Dimaandal confirmed that Bua had connections with the in-

ternational drug ring 14K and his area of operation is Davao region. Last year, Philippine ant i-dr ug agents have raided a laboratory in Lipa City where 84 kilograms of shabu were found and a member of Mexican drug cartel Sinaloa was also arrested. Sinoloa drug cartel in Mexico was also linked to the 14K international drug ring. PDEA also previously detailed the involvement of the 14K to the busted laboratory in Lipa City. (PNA)

5 Chinese, Filipino ship captain nabbed By CHENG ORDOÑEZ Associate Editor with MARK FRANCISO Staff member and GERRY GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Tagoloan police arrested five Chinese nationals and a Filipino ship captain for alleged sand dredging in the coastline of Tagoloan in Misamis Oriental, 2 p.m., Sunday (March 22, 2015) and holding at bay the ship with which they were loading sand. The five Chinese nationals were caught on the act of loading sand to the ship, M/V Yue Hue Zhou H0 8998, without the necessary permit and documents for sand dredging. Sr. Insp. Maricris Y. Mulat, Tagoloan chief of police, identified the suspects as Gouwen Wu, Jianxin We, Yungcheng Liu, Zhongru Wu and Tomas Wong, and Rodolfo Meneses Gabinete, the ship captain.

The ship was flagged down in the waters off Misamis Oriental and its Chinese and Filipino crew arrested for violation of Republic Act (RA) 7942. Mulat said the ship is currently impounded by the PCG at a private port in the vicinity. Mulat said that her office received a call at 2 p.m. last Sunday from the PCG, asking for assistance to intercept the vessel, which is a trailing suction hopper dredger type on suspicion that the crew inside do not have the necessary permit to drill in any body of water in the country. Mulat said that the PCG has observed that the vessel in question was conducting offshore sand dredging a few meters from the coastline in Tagoloan town.

COTABATO City––The town named after one of the principal suspects in the worst election related violence in recent history has a new mayor, officials said. Number 1 Councilor Monawara Ampatuan assumed office Wednesday as OIC mayor after taking her oath before Maguindanao Gov. Esmael Toto Mangudadatu. This after elected Mayor Bai Reshal Ampatuan and Vice Mayor Janine Mamalapat went on absence without official leave for the past six months, creating a vacuum in the local government operations. Bai Reshal is the wife of Datu Andal “Unsay” Ampatuan Jr., one of the principal accused in the Nov. 23, 2009 massacre in Sitio Masalay, Barangay Salman in Ampatuan town. Early this year, the mayor herself was included in the list of 50 more suspects who were indicted for the massacre that left 58 people dead, 32 of them media workers. Among the victims were Mangudadatu’s wife and other family members. Forty-three complainants along with witnesses said the suspects were

‘Bancnet’ banks ‘dishonor’ ATMs Not once, but more often this writer has received complaints about the practices of some commercial banks of “dishonoring’ most Automated Machine Teller (ATM) cards not issued by concerned banks. These banks are purportedly members of the Bancnet, Inc. (a Philippinebased interbank network connecting the ATM networks of local and offshore banks). Aside from dishonoring ATMs, some banks also make it difficult for anyone to open accounts until all documents (most are unnecessary) are complied. I supposed the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) and the Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) are both members of Bancnet, Inc. It is, therefore, presumed that, being a member of the Bancnet, Inc., both the LBP and RCBC honor the ATMs issued by either of them. We have no idea if Land Bank and RCBC are at odds because the depositors complained that, most of the time, the RCBC denies transaction with the

Land Bank issued ATMs. The complaint, however, focused on RCBC which reportedly dishonor LBP ATMs most of the time. Whether RCBC is aware of this, RCBC should look into the matter. We know that the RCBC has been in operation for quite a time. Like the LBP, both banks have, for years, carved a reputation as a trusted financial institution. Nobody wants, that’s what these banks have worked for many years in order to win public trust would simply come to naught because of the ATM issue. Yet, this is happening. Somebody also complained about the LBP’s stringent policy when an ordinary person opens an LBP ATM account. The Land Bank would require someone to submit a barangay clearance, a tax identification number (TIN), two identification cards and ID photos. Land Bank would also ask the depositor about the source of income. Perhaps, a day from now, Land Bank will require every new depositor to have a police and NBI

Yes, unlimited and unrestricted, we do have! Everyone of us. Prejudices give a sense of pride in our world, Try to make a fundamental and common definition of “prejudice”: it’s an opinion, of course, favorable or unfavorable (more often the latter!). Many times, it’s an opinion formed without fair examination of facts. Prejudice creates biases, bad influences, and inquiries. Do you still remember any election campaigns? What a shame sometimes! A possible correction afterwards is seldom given or will be even rejected. Very often prejudices become coarse, rude and gross generally. Got the latest news from the political nation’s drama? In all parts of our globe we find an ethical hierarchy. It’s an indirect status with fixed judgements and points of view. Social distance and discrimination predominate and make it easier to use categories such as “race”, “nation” or

“culture”. Social differences have been built up. Gays and lesbians are “unnatural” (?), all black people are “dirty” (?), all white people are “rich”? - Heaven forbid! But I experienced it myself many times: I stayed in Israel sometime in 1978 and was not really welcomed by the people, because of my”Nazi-roots” (though I was born 1953!). Later I have been rejected from the Golan Heights, because I came from (enemy!) Israeli territory. Staying in South Africa sometime in 1980, I experienced the terrible racism and fascism of the former apartheid government and its painful effects and consequences. Most racial prejudices have its roots from the heritage of colonial supremacy. Justification of slavery goes back to the 17th century. In early colonial history skin color was not the main reason, it was the paganism of original inhabitants in America, Africa, and Australia.

clearances. It somehow behooves into our mind that Land Bank has now become an intelligence agency of the government. Why is Land Bank doing this when other private banks are a bit lenient on would-be-depositor? In other countries like in the United States, a US $ 20.00 deposit would be enough to open a credit card. What about if the depositor would simply open an LBP account with the hope of getting a job? What about if the depositor works “on line” and that the salary or honorarium is paid through the LBP? Why would LBP insist on asking for TIN when payments for services are automatically deducted

through the withholding tax? What about if the depositor came from another city or province and opted to open an account elsewhere? Will he brings along with him the barangay clearance in order to open a Land Bank account? With these rigid requirements, one might surmise that the LBP almost always suspects the ordinary would-bedepositors as “thieves or criminals.” Perhaps, the Central Bank should find out these apprehensions. With the Asean integration, the Cental Bank should review its banking policies. In the past, many foreign investors have complained of the Central Banks stringent policies. Perhaps, it is to the advantage of the country’s banking industry if a uniform policy is adopted when it comes to the opening of bank accounts. Before anything else ‘though, it woud be better for the Central Bank to step in to resolve the Bancnet issue about the dishonoring of ATMs issued by competing banks like LBP and RCBC. =0- react: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

PREJUDICES AGAINST OTHERS? Have my say

Klaus Doring

Terms such as “Indian” and “Negro” can be even found in the literature: the good-natured Indian variant “Winnetou” (Karl May, 1842-1912, Germany) or “Friday” (Freitag), the noble savage in “Robinson Crusoe” (Daniel Defoe, 1660-1731, England), or how about “Uncle Tom” (Harriet Beecher-Stowe, 1811-1896, USA). Political conflicts between “white colonial supremacies” and “colored subjects” have been explained and described as racial segregation - many times instigated by Chris-

tian missionaries. Innumerable examples in world history proved brutal force and power up to genocide. Prejudices? “Love your neighbor as yourself!” (Leviticus 19:18). “When an alien lives beside you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born!” (Leviticus 19:33,34). Integration, ecumenical movements, support of especially discriminated and disadvantaged groups are keynotes for future. they should be! The “stranger in media” or “the strangeness - a feigned difficult standard” ... we could really really live together easier and more respectful of each other. let’s honor each other more in future.

NPA team leader yields in Agusan del Sur

BUTUAN City -- Just a few more days before the celebration of the New People's Army (NPA) 46th anniversary on March 29, one of its team leaders surrendered to the police at a border municipality of a southern province in the region over the weekend.

SurSur treasury confirms move on tax amnesty extension TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur – In response to the request of some sectors, especially the mayors, to extend the real property tax amnesty that was carried out last year, Wenifreda Perez, Surigao del Sur Provincial Treasurer’s Office (PTO) chief, has confirmed move at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) to extend the same for this year. Both Marihatag and Cortes towns have respectively sent their resolutions to this effect, it was learned. In fact, the request of the former has already been acted upon by Governor Johnny Pimentel by endorsing it to the SP early this year. Meanwhile, exactly a month ago, during the PTO hosting of the Monday flag ceremony program led by no less than the governor, himself, Cortes Mayor William Angos has expressly sought the extension of Provincial Resolution No. 232 series of 2014. The certified public accountant (CPA)-lawyer town chief, pointed out in his impromptu speech that such amnesty has made their treasury ac-

complished a lot. Cortes town was among the top five achievers to have received a special cash award and a plaque of recognition during the occasion which highlighted the giving of such honors not only to mayors but at the same time to treasurers and assessors alike. In an information sent to the of f ice of the governor, the treasury chief stressed that they “were able to collect Real Property Tax (RPT) in the amount of P113,899,457.32 or 155.05 percent” as against the “collection target of P73,460,181.19 for CY 2014,” an outstanding feat the PTO has accomplished, Governor Pimentel lauded. Meanwhile, Perez said granting a request for extension like the case at hand requires a justifiable cause, hinting that it is up to the legislative body. She cited that last December 29, 2014, the province was devastated by Typhoon Seniang, prompting it to declare a state of calamity. (NGBT/ Greg Tataro Jr., Radyo ng Bayan-Tandag/PIASurigao del Sur)

ability test is successfully completed. The second 150-MW is also on track to meet its scheduled commercial timeline. "We are happy to announce that our customers should be able to start receiving power from Therma South by April on a scaled basis as we continue our tests," Therma South president and COO Benjanim Cariaso Jr. said.

Therma South will be able to assist our customers to cope up with the demand for power," Cariaso added. The planned synchronization is currently being coordinated with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines

Dry spell destroys P91.9-M agri products in Zambo City

AMBOANGA City – The dry spell has taken its toll on the agriculture sector in the city, destroying some P91.9M worth of farm products as of Wednesday, March 18, the Office of the City Agriculture said. City Agriculturist Diosdado Palacat reported to Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar that a total of 8,469.2 hectares of land planted to various crops and fishery products have been destroyed by the dry spell, affecting

20,996 metric tons of products. Of the total 8,469.2 hectares destroyed, 277 hectares are planted to rice; 31 hectares to corn; 8,084.1 hectares planted to banana; 74.5 hectares planted with assorted vegetables; 9.3

hectares planted with cassava; and, .3 hectares are fishpond areas. Palacat said that at least 1,041.8 of the 8,469.2 hectares affected have no chance of recovery. Palacat expressed fears the damage could worsen and consequently affect this city’s agricultural supply if rains will not come by the month of May. Palacat has recommended various action plans to help

mitigate the effect of the dry spell on farmers such as the immediate conduct of cloud seeding to be jointly undertaken between the Department of Agriculture, Zamboanga City Water District and the local government. Palacat said the other action plans include information dissemination pre-mitigating measures primarily to encourage a quick turn-around planting of early maturing varieties; production and distribution of

alternate crop seeds and planting materials; pest management; desiltation of communal irrigation system and river dredging; and, procurement and distribution of organic fertilizers. He proposed the rehabilitation of pumps and water system of existing demo farm, procurement of breeder stocks, information dissemination and procurement and distribution of organic fertilizers for the fishery sector.

Have you ever been to a place, yet vivacious community? Have you toured on breath-taking beaches with white sand, cool, calm and clear blue waters? I am sure there is no

other place to be than my homeland, Baliangao. There is where my heart is filled with joy and extreme satisfaction. There is where I recognized my whole being, my personality. There is

events to be competed: Poem contests, storytelling, for kindergarten to grade III; and declamation, vocal singing, verse choir, and essay writing for grade IV to grade VI. There is only one contest piece to each event except for vocal singing wherein they can sing any song as long as it is an English Song. The said activity was participated by the Kindergarten to grade VI, and only cream classes of each grade level will serve the expectator/ audience because the school gymnasium cannot accommodate all the population of the school. Public Schools Dis-

trict Supervisor, Dr. Margie M. Bayagna, and elementary School Principal I of VCCS were the guests of the said activity. Parents and pupils were touch of the inspirational message of Dr. Bayagna. The judges of different events are all master teachers and they find it difficult in selecting the winners.

nature’s mysteries. The plains in our municipality are cultivated with rice, fruit trees and various vegetations, making Baliangao a green town. There is no way your puzzled mind be soothed and balmed immediately. Would you like to come and visit our place? I got lots beautiful sceneries to prove you.

Girlhood (a salute to the female graduates of 2015)

WHEN Boyhood was released in July 2014, it already piqued my interest to watch it, first because it was a Richard Linklater film (he is famous for making sequels a decade apart from each other using the same characters and the same actors) and second, because the film is 12 years in the making using the same actors. It was only last Saturday night that I finally gotten to watch the almost three-hour epic and it simply moved me, the same feeling why critics and audiences alike were stunned about the slow transformation of actor Ellar Coltrane from being eight through 20.

But I was focused more on his older sister in the show, played by the director’s daughter Lorelei Linklater. Lorelei was still eight when the first rolls were shot in 2002 fictionalizing her character’s brother through typical American culture at the time until he reached college life by 2014. What struck me was the part when Lorelei (as Samantha), then aged 14, was playing with her eight-year-old cousin. The annoyingness of her cousin was the exact replica of the behavior that Lorelei/ Samantha displayed when she first appeared in the film. Which eerily reminds

me the first time I saw Dakota Fanning screaming in War of the Worlds (2005). When she resurrected in Push, she was 13 already and her facial appearance already changed. By the time Dakota starred in a Vogue commercial at age 20 in 2014, she looked more like Koren Witting. (Nope don’t Google that, just add her on Facebook. She’s a local beauty from Tagoloan.) Then there were lots of kiddie girls in the 90s that I have watched who have evolved into curvaceous ones. There was a 12-yearold Anne Curtis in Magic Kingdom. There was Ariana Richards who was battling

dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park. She’s now a successful visual artist in LA. There was Juliette Lewis who was battling Robert de Niro in Cape Fear. And who could ever predict that Eliza Dushku’s coming of innocence in That Night (1992) would lead her to martial arts roles in the future? The CDO scene is no different. In this Women’s Month of March, I have come to known three young lasses that I’m pretty sure will grow into wonderful grownups in the near future. Alysha “Ganda” Ranario is a graduating sixth grader.

We are deaf to hear the words of God. Granting, you have no money and material things to offer but I am very sure that you can lend your ears to somebody who wants to share their pains with you. The ears of the sickly person were able to function when Jesus touched it. Therefore, allow God to touch your ears for you to be healed in your hearing problem in life. Believe on this, if your two ears are joined together, heart shape is formed. This means to put everything that you have heard in your heart: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong BalinoDr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan – Cagayan De Oro: My new number: 09187148435: God loves you!!!

to pilot it in some public hospitals so that those who are sick or those who are taking care of the sick, be they doctors or relatives, will be able to communicate with family members and medical staff,” Recto said. “If you’re a son of an OFW and you would like to Skype with your father who is in the Middle East because your mom has been stricken ill, then you can do it within the hospital premises,” he said. Recto said the rationale behind the program is to tap it for social good. “So it’s the reason why it will be set up in libraries so it can aid in research and instruction, and promote reading,” the senator explained. Other priority areas should be frontline government offices which draw the longest queues and the largest crowds. “Pwede siguro lagyan ang Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) para doon sa mga OFW na kumukuha ng papeles doon. Malaki ang ambag nila sa ating ekonomiya,” the senator said. “It will also be set up in town halls and town plazas. Kaya kung, halimbawa, ang isa ay malapit sa Municipal Agriculture Office, pwedeng gamitin ito upang alamin ang presyo ng gulay sa Maynila. Ito naman ang layunin talaga : to help real farms and not just Farmville players,” he said. “Or kung nasa Civil Registrar’s office ka at may problema ka sa birth certificate mo, doon mismo pwede kang tumawag sa sino mang makakatulong sa ‘yo.” Recto said he welcomed DOST’s plan to set up free Wi-Fi in airports and seaports “as these would be a big help to tourists and travelers.” “2015 is Visit Philippines Year. It is also the year we’ll be hosting 15,000 delegates to the APEC Leaders’ Summit and runup activities. As part of our preparations, we’re sprucing up NAIA, building flyovers, and repairing our roads. Wi-Fi in gateways should be a parcel of this,” Recto said. “Despite these, gusto rin natin na huwag maabuso ang free Wi-Fi. Ayaw naman nating maging corporate headquarters ang mga iyan ng Facebook generation or tambayan ng mahilig lang sa selfie. There should be users’ rules,” he said. According to the DOST, access points in 967 3rd to 6th class towns and Metro Manila will be set up based on the P1.4 billion budget. It will also have “points of presence” in 6 Luzon, 4 Visayas, and 4 Mindanao cities. In all, there will be 9,706 rural links in unserved and underserved areas. The agency said it will partner with the country’s telecommunication companies in this project.

DOST has announced that it is now studying the available packages and will start bidding for the project in April. In h is sp ons orsh ip speech creating the Department of Information and Communications Technology last Monday, Recto said “many problems we confront today have ICT solutions which can ease the pain they cause or make them totally go away. “If roads are clogged with traffic, then the information highway provides a detour. That way, energy is saved, pollution reduced, and mass sanity is preserved,” he said. “We are now living in the electronic republic, where views of the sovereign are advocated online, and services must be rendered to them on the same platform,” he said.

dated December 12, 2008. Salik a.k.a. Dindo, was residing at Purok 3, Barangay Villalin, Pana-on, at the time of his arrest. The arrest was the result of a long-time surveillance and monitoring of the whereabouts of Salik. OIC Provincial Director Senior Superintendent Macala, in a press conference, disclosed that the suspect was hiding in Pana-on for almost a year using another name, which is Joseph Alipio alias Dindo. “But, with proper coordination and intelligence action of both the Misamis Occidental PNP Provincial Office and with detailed information from the SPMK-OCPNP Unit, the suspect was arrested,” Macala said.

cess (OPAPP) would receive an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities while Mohagher Iqbal, chief peace negotiator of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Miriam Coroner-Ferrer, chief government peace negotiator would each receive the “Fr. William Masterson Awards” from the Xavier University here. In a letter to parents of graduating students, Fr. Roberto Yap, President of Xavier University, said that all is set for the university’s 75th Commencement Exercises here amid apprehension over the conferment of awards to members of the government and Moro peace panels. The university’s announcement of conferring an award to Deles, Iqbal, and Coroner-Ferrer has drawn apprehension from local residents and parents of about 1,000 graduating students fearing possible a security breach during the graduation ceremony. Yap, however, said that the conferment of the awards would be during the “Convocation Ceremony” on Thursday – not during the actual Commencement Exercises which is on Saturday. He said that the “Convocation Ceremony” is done ahead because there is not much activity during the occasion other than speeches and the confirming of the awards. He said that the university’s 15-man Board of Trustees that composed of eight members from the Jesuit-run universities in Davao, Zamboanga, and Cotabato along with seven private university patrons have decided to confer the award on November 29, 2014. The process of elimination actually started on September 2014 where anybody could endorse a nominee for the award that the university always extends during graduation ceremonies, Yap said. He said that the Board of Trustees has reviewed the confirming of the awards following a public clamor to defer the awards in deference to the Mamapasano tragedy. However, Yap said, the Board of Trustees find it more reasonable to confer the award as a gesture of the university’s commitment to the attainment of a lasting peace in Mindanao. In its final decision to proceed with the award, the university sets its standard on two issues: The determined commitment to Peace and the assurance of a secure and peaceful graduation ceremony, Yap said.

sit on a mound of gravel by the gate of the Dapiawan Central Elementary School — a “Zone of Peace” according to the tarpaulin hanging nearby — hoping their ordeal would end soon and they can return home. The sisters are no strangers to evacuations. “Madakel” (Many), they said. In fact, they have evacuated so many times in their lifetime that they can no longer remember how many times they had to flee their villages because of armed clashes. “Panahon pa sa Hapon” (Japanese time), Cartiquia, a resident of Barangay Elian, said. Unlike her contemporaries elsewhere in the country whose knowledge of war is “Panahon sa Hapon” in the 1940s, it has been a never-ending series of evacuations for her and her siblings, later sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters, due to armed conflict. A number of their children and grandchildren are within the same school compound. Cartiquia, who has 13 children from four marriages, complains she is too old to evacuate. Saria, who married once and has 12 children, echoes her sister’s statement. Speaking in Maguindanao but translated to Filipino by their fellow evacuees, the sisters said they are praying peace would come soon so they and their grandchildren can go home. For them, peace means “wala nang bakwit” (no more evacuations). As of 6 p.m. of March 19, the ARMM-HEART (Autonomous Region in Muslim MindanaoHumanitarian Emergency Action and Response Team) recorded a total of 25,067 families or 125,302 persons from 14 towns have been displaced by the “all-out offensive” announced by Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang on February 25 and launched two days later with artillery and air strike support against the BIFF. The offensive came a month after the January

25 law enforcement operation undertaken solely by the Phil;;ine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) to get Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin hir alias Marwan. Marwan was killed but sow ere 44 SAF members, 18 MILF guerrillas and five civlians. 15 of 36 towns affected Datu Saudi Ampatuan hosts the most number of evacuees (“bakwits” or internally displaced persons) at 3,459 families or 17,295 persons followed by Shariff Aguak town’s 2,576 families (13,870 persons); Shariiff Saydona Mustapha’s 2,670 (13,350 persons); Mamasapano’s 2,637 (13,185 persons); Datu Salibo’s 2,576 (12,880 persons); Talayan’s 2,358 (11,790 persons); Talitay’s 2,218 (11,090 persons); Datu Unsay’s 1,808 (9,040 persons); Datu Anggal Midtimbang’s 1,791 (8,955); Guindulungan’s 1,160 (5,800 persons); Rajah Buayan’s 555 (2,775); Datu Piang’s 553 (2,765); Datu Abdullah Sangki’s 319 (1,595 persons); Datu Odin Sinsuat (host) with 110 (550 persons); and Datu Hoffer’s 79 (362 persons). Maguindanao has 36 towns. According to Issue 8 of the IDP Protection Assessment Report dated March 18, a total of 123,537 persons from 15 municipalities were displaced as a result of the military action against the BIFF. Of this number, 3,137 persons had returned home. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHRC) in the Philippines co-chairs the Protection Cluster Philippines with the Department of Social Welfare and Development. The Protection Cluster Philippines comes out with the IDP Protection Assessment Reports. The recent report said this year’s mass evacuation is “the biggest displacement since the 2008 MOA-AD debacle.” The government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOAAD) of 2008 was initialed and set for signing on August 5, 2008 but the Supreme Court issued afternoon of August 4 a temporary restraining order barring the government peace panel from signing the MOA-AD. The MILF, which signed the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro with the government on March 27 last year, temporarily moved back its armed members from the areas where the military was operating, as coordinated by their respective Coordinating Committees on the Cessation of Hostilities. “According to reports, people are fleeing because of fear of being hit during AFP ground operations and air strikes. Some IDPs are having difficulty finding refuge in host barangays if they are perceived to have affilitation with the BIFF,” the IDP Protection Assessment Report noted. It also said that three weeks into the offensives, “there is no clear and consistent information provided to IDPs as to what areas are safe to move to or return to collect belongings and food, including accessing their livelihood which is essential for their survival” particularly since the harvest season in Maguindanao is in March and April.

Kolariah tops NorthMin search for green musicians

HE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) 10 and Philippine Information Agency (PIA) 10 jointly awarded the amateur band Kolariah as the champion for Kaligkasan. The awarding was held last March 19 at Centrio here in Cagayan de Oro City. Kaligkasan is part of the climate change advocacy campaign dubbed as “Nagbabago na ang Panahon, Panahon na para Magbago.” According to PIA 10 director Thelma Oliver, Kaligkasan came from the words ‘’Kaligtasan’ and ‘Kalikasan’ implying that, “If you care of our ‘kalikasan,’ then we will have ‘kaligtasan.’” The band battle targets to weaken people’s apathy regarding climate change concerns. It also aims to extend to the young market regarding environmental protection and conservation and gain their support in the promotions since it has to be widely spread. For one, is through their talent in music. The band search encouraged them to compose and perform original music related to environment. There were 22 bands who signed up for Kaligkasan band Search. All of them have not signed up with any recording studio. Each band has submitted one original full song composition that highlights the campaign theme, “Nagbabago na ang Panahon, Panahon na para Magbago.” The organizers also required that these songs should not exceed four minutes and should be editable to 30 and 60 seconds for radio and TV airing, for DENR might repackaged the winning song for radio and TV infomercials. Judges of the competition are experts in the field of music. Moreover, the criteria for evaluating the submitted entries are: 30 percent for the originality and creativity of

Story by IRENE JOY DAYO Photo by MARK FRANCISCO the each song featuring its songwriting style, technique and skill; 30 percent for the lyrics, its emotional appeal and message appropriateness to the theme; another 30 percent for its melody, basing on the strength and its power to be recalled; and 10 percent for overall appeal. Thereafter, Kolariah emerged as the champion of the competition. They received cash prize P50,000 and a plaque. They were followed by Dislocated Boy and Adrian and the Astroboys as the second and third places, respectively. The first runner-up received P30,000 and a plaque, and the second received P 20,000 and a plaque, as well.

Seven consolation prizes were also given to other bands who belong in the top 10. Other than the band competition, the agencies also conducted various information drive and activities in the past months mainly to raise environmental awareness among the youth. These includes the planting of mangroves during the World Environment Day, Media Advocacy and Writeshop, distribution of collaterals, youth camp and below the lines activities such as learning events and campus journalism contests that stress on the importance of environmental protection and conservation.
