SURIGAO City--A day after a big crocodile was found dead in Del Carmen town in Siargao Island, several fishermen from the island have been afraid to venture out in the mangrove forest to fish, a village official said. Ezperanza barangay captain Teodoro Galolo said several fisherfolks in his village have ceased to go to the mangroves for fear of being attacked by crocodiles. Last Thursday morning, a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) 14 feet and 9 inches long was found dead floating along the waterways by the mangroves in Esperanza. The fishermen who found it then reported it to Galolo, the barangay captain said. On that day, barangay tanods and some personnel from the Sentro Para sa Ikauunlad ng Katutubong Agham at Teknolohiya (Sikat), Dead Croc.

Japanese government vows support to peace, devt in M’nao

DAVAO City––The Japanese government has vowed to support the Philippines’ peace and development efforts in Mindanao, President Rodrigo R. Duterte said on Thursday evening. Duterte, however, did not give details how Japan would help in the government’s peace efforts in his arrival message at the F. Bangoy International Airport. “I sought and received Japan’s continued support for the peace and development agenda in Mindanao, as we move a step forward towards the goal of just and lasting peace for the peoples of Mindanao and for our

country,” he said. Before leaving for Japan on Tuesday, Duterte said Mindanao would be the “central focus” of his state visit from October 25 to 27 “to put on track this island region towards a just and lasting peace and development.” “In all my interactions in Japan, it was clear to me and to everyone that Japan is, and will always be, a true friend of the Philippines,” he said. Duterte added they signed deals with Japan and its largest companies on investments in manufacturing and agriculture that will generate several jobs. “Japan is well-placed

The president also discussed with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe how the two countries can further partnership in various areas of economic, sociopolitical, security and defense cooperation. He said they agreed to strengthen ties between the two nations by harnessing their respective strengths and take advantage of them to further grow and continue playing a “rightful role in the region.” He also emphasized that the “economic cooperation remains a linchpin between the two

This would generate about 14,000 farm jobs,

Religion and music

YES, both belong together like a fish and an ocean, light and life, the voice and the ear. In the entire universe, we humans are probably the only beings capable of creating and hearing music. The ability to hear is one of the specific gifts that our Creator gave us. Our fragile blue planet is surrounded by a thin layer of gases only a few kilometers high. Only this atmosphere is the reason why sound waves can spread through the air. Everything behind this atmosphere is ruled by the sheer endless vacuum of outer space, where galax-

ies and stars explode and implode in impenetrable silence. According to the biblical narrative, the world began when God broke through this deadly quiet: “And God said: Let there be light!” (Genesis 1:1). God spoke and light and life resulted from His audible voice. Because life was created by the word, it depends on the word. That is why it is in the nature of every person to listen. Like a parabolic mirror, our souls are created to listen to the eternal space of the hereafter, to try and sense whether a word,

a sound or a voice is trying to reach us from there, in order to fill us with meaning. I love music. I can’t live without. Hold on, this is not one of my earlier columns in this paper. But from time to time, I need to express myself if it comes to this topic. And, I know, that Filipinos love big tunes with great words and beautiful melodies, especially, when it comes to classical music. I experienced this many times during the last `6 years while hosting several radio shows with classical music and inspirational thoughts. +++

for the people prosperity. All such policies must be firmly and definitively executed. The nation’s leader‘s actions should be clear and should not be in doubt. Policies in favor of the public also need to be known by public. This is to prevent the existence of information asymmetry. If the public understand and feel happy, the policy makers can do all their policies. Diffusion or spreading ideas is important. Diffusion is required if the state policy seems to be very sensitive. Diffusion is essential if the policy concerns the lives of the people of the country. In essence, decisive action and certainly-based policy should be done based on extensive examination and high objectivity. All activities based on an objective assessment of the public interest are feasible to execute. All strategies based on public interest are great; and therefore, they are definitely worth to be done. So, there is no word for being hesitant and weak. Progressive persistence should continue until the results for all people are indeed proven. Being the leader of the country should really be the real statesman. The statesman is not concerned with the interests of the group. He should not be concerned

with solely party interests. The statesman should not posit more on the power of oligarchies. The statesman works for all people. The whole people become the focus for any national development. In order that the leader in any nation can lead his strategies into public interest, any policy must be based on the public interest. Public services and the strategy to work should focus on the result that is for wide impact on the whole people. So, sovereignty has nothing to do with keeping oneself separated from other nations. We have to think about both competitive and comparative advantages among the nations. Based on this consideration, we can live side by side among the nations throughout the world. ••• Dr. Djuwari Sarkawi is the Director of Language Laboratory, STIE Perbanas Surabaya.

assuring the nation’s position any collaboration or cooperation is sensible. The nation leader should take into account both the competitive and comparative advantages. Whatever and however, the nation’s leader should be bold in acting decisively and definitely. Firmly, it is in the sense of actions to be done and not to have too much consideration. As surely, it brings in a sense, that all policies must be made based on the objectivity. As long as the result are certainly for the whole state and nation. So far, there are still weaknesses in the strategy selection overreact. Any policy if it is good for public side, it should be done decisively and certainly. Any strategy that is to prosper the people should be done quickly for definitely good programs for the nation. Any action undertaken by the policy makers should be

manner of remembering the dead, I mean---correctly, as it were, so that the supposed benefit is achieved by both the living and the dead? I believe, and so does the “Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo” (Children of God

Blood Kin of the Christ) Church, that there is indeed a great benefit for remembering the dead, and, if we are correct in this belief, we are similarly convinced that the practice of remembering the dead just once in a year, on every first day of November, may not really be enough to receive that benefit. What is the benefit in remembering the dead that I am talking about? The Bible specifically mentions this benefit when it says that there is something that can be done to snatch away the dead who died as sinners from eternal fire, to enable them to still live in the presence of God in eternal life, together with all the other

obedient believers. -oooJESUS PREACHED TO THE DEAD AFTER HIS RESURRECTION: This would of course be a shocking point of view to many, but let me explain. In one passage in the Bible, we are told that Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, went, after His resurrection, to a place where the spirits of dead men and women were being held in prison (significantly, the Bible did not give a specific name to this place). What did Jesus do while He was in that “prison of spirits”? He preached to the spirits which were already there. The New See dead, page A7

Witness says military ordered digging of alleged mass graves twice “Skeletal remains were supposedly dug up in 2006 in Inopacan, Leyte and before that was another digging made in 2000.” By RONALYN V. OLEA Bulatlat.com

A relative of alleged victims in the Leyte multiple murder case admitted in court that the military ordered him, along with others, to dig for the remains of his father and two brothers in alleged mass graves in two different places in separate incidents for two different cases. Domingo Eras, whose father Domingo Sr. and brothers Gregorio and Leonardo were missing, said he went to the alleged mass grave in barangay Monterico, Baybay, Leyte on June 28, 2000 upon orders from the military. Six years later, Eras, then a member of the Citizens Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu), said he, along with six other Cafgu members, was ordered to go to an alleged mass grave in sitio Sapang Daco, barangay Kausilihan, Inopacan, Leyte. In a hearing today, Oct. 28, before the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 32, defense lawyer Ernesto Francisco said Eras’s father and two brothers were

Francisco pointed out that the information in the Inopacan mass grave also includes Eras’s father as one of those supposedly dug up in August 2006. During the cross examination, Francisco asked Eras if he was able to identify the skeletal remains of his relatives supposedly exhumed in Baybay. Eras replied in Waray, “I’m not sure, sir.” Asked further how the

Army’s 43rd Infantry Battalion was able to identify the victims, which became the basis for filing the case, Eras said he did not know. When asked if he knew that the Baybay case was dismissed by a local court on Jan. 25, 2005 due to lack of probable cause, Eras, one of the complainants, said he did not know. Vicente Ladlad, one of the more than 70 accused in the Inopacan case, said Eras’s testimony proves

that the charges are manufactured. Ladlad, a peace consultant of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), told Bulatlat shorty after the hearing that the military’s script was badly written. “The fact that he was ordered by the military [to dig the graves] is very telling,” Ladlad said, noting that the prosecution did not mention this fact.

Prosecution lawyers objected several times to the questions hurled by Francisco, particularly about the complaints filed in the Baybay case. Prosecutor Winnie Edad said their witness is “uneducated and not competent” to answer questions pertaining to legal cases. Prosecutor Rosulo Vivero, who filed the two

separate information in Baybay and Inopacan, also opposed Francisco’s line of questioning about the two alleged mass graves. Addressing the prosecution, Judge Thelma BunyiMedina said, “Why would it not affect the credibility of (your) witness? Skeletal remains were supposedly dug up in 2006 in Inopacan, Leyte and there was another digging made in 2000. Those are related matters.” Ladlad found incredulous that the two alleged mass graves were found near the farm then hut of Floro Tinaid. Eras said Tinaid lived in barangay Kaulisihan, Baybay, Leyte from 1980 to 1985. Eras said Tinaid left the place because he was scared of New People’s Army (NPA) guerrillas who allegedly frequented the place. Eras said Tinaid then moved to barangay Monterico, Inopacan. Other NDFP consultants Benito Tiamzon, Wilma Austria Tiamzon, Rafael Baylosis, Randall Echanis and Adelberto Silva are co-accused in the Inopacan mass grave case.

N. Cotabato mayor arrested during anti-drug police operation COTABATO City––A town mayor in North Cotabato was arrested by anti-drug police who served him search warrants at dawn Saturday, 24 hours after another mayor and his companions were killed in anti-drug operations in the province. Supt. Romeo Galgo Jr., regional police spokesperson, said members of the Regional Anti-Illegal Drug Special Operations Task Force, Regional Public Safety

Battalion and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency served 20 search warrants at 3 a.m. Saturday in three houses of Libungan Mayor Christopher Cuan in Barangay Kabayuran, Libungan, North Cotabato, about 30 km. north of here. Galgo said the search warrants were issued by Judge Alandrex Betoya of Regional Trial Court Branch 16 in Kabacan, North Cotabato for the illegal posses-

sion of firearms and illegal drugs. Recovered from Cuan’s home were an M-16 Armalite rifle, a 12-gauge shot gun, two caliber 45 pistols (Para 1911 and Colt), caliber 5.56 bushmaster and hundreds of ammunition and magazines for various calibers. Cuan was not among the politicians named by President Rodrigo Duterte in his August announcement of alleged narco-politicians. Galgo said Cuan will be com-

mitted to the court that issued the search warrants. A day earlier, a special antidrug police unit killed Mayor Samsodin Dimaukom of Datu Saudi Ampatuan and nine of his companions following a shootout in Barangay Bulatukan, Makilala, North Cotabato. Dimaukom and his wife Arnida, vice mayor of Datu Saudi Ampatuan, were publicly named by President Duterte in August

Seven months after, no IRR yet on PWD law DESPITE the delay, Senator Ralph Recto said Thursday that he is not yet giving in to “conspiracy theory” that the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of persons with disability (PWD) law is being deliberately withheld due to the plan of the government’s economic managers to repeal all tax discounts of PWDs. President Benigno Aquino III signed Republic Act no. 10754 into law on March 24. The law grants persons with disabilities (PWDs) goods discounts and tax breaks. But seven months after,

Recto said the PWD law has remained in limbo after the IRR has yet to be issued by a multi-agency body drafting it. He said the IRR is the “missing link” in the full implementation of RA 10754. Without the IRR, which defines how its provisions will be “implemented, availed of, executed,” RA 10754 “is like a new car which sits in the garage but can’t be driven out yet,” said Recto, also the senate minority leader. Aside from the Department of Social Welfare and

Development (DSWD) as the lead agency in drafting the IRR, other agencies include the Department of Health (DOH), Department of Finance (DOF) and the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA). The release of the IRR is seen by affected entities, like drug stores, as a requisite before they can carry out the provision of the law discounting purchases made by PWDs. Recto, however, countered that “there ought to be no delay because there is an existing template, the one granted to senior citi-

zens, insofar as discounts on purchases are made.” The law, he explained, merely grants to PWDs benefits already enjoyed by seniors, “so we’re not starting from scratch. There is a tried system already in place. From points of sale sa stores, may sistema na.” Although the law contains the provision “that failure of the concerned agencies to promulgate the IRR shall not prevent the implementation of this Act upon its effectivity,” Recto said “for purposes of clear implementation, there is See seven, page A11

4ID destroys 164 seized firearms

CAGAYAN de Oro City--Army’s 4th Infantry Division began destroying at least 164 assorted confiscated, captured, surrender, and recovered (CCSR) firearms that were turned-in from 19 December 2015 to 30 August 2016. In simple ceremonies at the military headquarters at Camp Evangelista, 4th ID commanding general MGen. Benjamin R Madrigal Jr led in cutting of 76 non-standard CCSR firearms consisting of shotgun, revolver, pistol and rifles. Madrigal said the destruction of the unserviceable firearms was prompted by the issuance of a directive from General Headquarters, calling for the disposal of such weapons. According to Madrigal, the method of demilitarization is to cut the CCSR firearms into several pieces and burned. Scraps will be disposed through public auction. The proceeds will form part of the trust fund to support See DESTROYS, page A7

a total of Php 50.3 million worth electrification projects will benefit 2,628 households. In 2017, a Php 10.88 million electrification project will benefit 1,345 households. For off-grid electrification, the DOE has initiated the Household Electrification Program (HEP) where electrification projects worth P610 million will be implemented by electric cooperatives in ARMM until 2017. Duterte and Cusi also graced the ceremonial turnover of 30 units of photovoltaic (PV) solar home systems to ARMM. The DOE completed a total of 3,868 PV solar home system units in the provinces of Tawi-Tawi, Basilan and Sulu under its HEP. Next year, the DOE will deliver a total of 3,878 units of the PV solar home system in Tawi-Tawi (2,263 units), Basilan (270 units) and Sulu (1,345 units). The DOE also donated a total of 30 units of 30Wp PV solar home system to ARMM. This was received by ARMM Governor Mujiv S. Hataman on behalf of household beneficiaries in the three provinces. The President’s last stop was the ceremonial awarding of a cheque worth P13.833 million to Maguindanao Electric Cooperative, Inc. (MAGELCO) for the implementation of the NIHE program that will benefit 3689 households within its franchise area. Under the NIHE program, the DOE provides assistance amounting to at least Php 3,750 as grant subsidy to each eligible household for the cost of house-wiring and additional service drops per housing unit. The NIHE program will be implemented by MAGELCO in the municipalities of Ampatuan, Buldon, Matanog, Barira, Datu Abdullah Sangki, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Datu Piang, North Upi, Parang, South Upi, Sultan Kudarat, Sultan Mastura, Sultan Sa Barongis, Rajah Buayan, Talayan, Guindulungan and Talitay. The cheque was received by MAGELCO General Manager, Sultan Ashary P. Maongco. (PNA)

Agency, high-impact projects benefiting both our urban and rural areas will be undertaken,” he said. On Wednesday, after the Japan-Philippines Summit Meeting, Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines Kazuhide Ishikawa and Philippines Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay Jr. signed and exchanged notes concerning two yen loan projects amounting to 21.383 billion yen. The two projects are the Maritime Safety Capability Improvement Project for the Philippine Coast Guard

(Phase II) and Harnessing Agribusiness Opportunities through Robust and Vibrant Entrepreneurship Supportive of Peaceful Transformation (HARVEST). The first project aims to construct two patrol ships for the Philippine Coast Guard and improve its capabilities “to quickly and appropriately respond to maritime incidents, such as search and rescue, and maritime law enforcement. It is expected that this cooperation will contribute to the enhancement of the maritime safety of the Republic of Philippines.” HARVEST aims “to promote activities that contribute to the creation of employment opportunities and the enhancement of household income through the improvement of access to financing and the vitalization of economic activities in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and its environs by providing necessary funds for investment in plant and equipment, operating capital, etc. to private businesses and agricultural cooperatives there. It is expected that this cooperation will contribute to peace and development in that region.” “It was clear to me and to everyone that Japan is, and will always be, a true friend of the Philippines,” Duterte said. He said his three-day state visit there was another defining moment for the solid and strategic partnership, with the shared meaningful history and transformation of the relations between the Philippines and Japan to excellent levels. “This relationship stands on unshakable and firm ground, cemented with mutual trust and respect,” he added. Duterte said both countries acknowledged the importance of vibrant political and defense exchanges for a stable and secure environment by enhancing capabilities in maritime security and maritime domain awareness. He stressed that Japan will play a vital role in modernizing the Philippines’ capacities as a nation with maritime interests to protect. “The acquisition of more maritime and air capability assets are crucial in addressing traditional and emerging threats to our nations, including piracy, criminality at sea and terrorism, as well as in responding to disasters,” he said. Republic Act 8182 defines ODA as loans or grants administered with the objective of promoting sustainable social and economic development and welfare of the Philippines. It adds: “ODA resources must be contracted with governments of foreign countries with whom the Philippines has diplomatic, trade relations or bilateral agreements or which are members of the United Nations, their agencies and international or multilat-
